Service mode means that you can downgrade the PSP and paly with your favourie "homebrews"... This special battery will let the user switch between service mode and normal mode, and also features a LED power gauge. On sale  on November 28th at around 25 euro. Sounds like the perfect Christmas presents for all videogame hackers...

di Frankie (07/23/2008 - 09:55)



Brian Kot@ku M@ster just posted the Famitsu scans with the iDOLM@STER For PSP preview! This game alone will give 2-3 motnhs more to Sony handheld sales dominance but after Sony can only start to port bishoujo games with keeping the hentai scenes in!!

di Frankie (02/25/2008 - 10:07)

 
Today Bandai announced a new Monster Hunter energy drink produced to promote Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G that will be release for PSP at the end of march. The "monster hunter drink" will be manufatcured by Hino Pharmaceutical Ind. Co (so it will not taste of gunpla or bandai plastic) and  each bottle will containt 100ml of secret potion and wil cost  200 Yen.  It containts royal jelly, Vitamin B6、Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6,  VitaminB2, Caffeine and Niacin so this drink seems perfect for geeks and gamers of all ages! Monster Hunter Drink will be released on the same day of the PSP game so the fans who lineup all night to get the game will get the "hunter power" to play the game!
 

Each energy drink bottle's cap is customized with a different game icon (there are 10 different caps to collect).

MOD: Pandora Battery for PSP Slim

di Frankie (10/26/2007 - 23:56)



Yesterday, several videogame hacking forums users reported that (thanks to Hellcat's Pandora Maker kernel 3.xx) they succesfully converted the PSP Slim batteries into the Pandora Battery (the definitive PSP downgrade and unbrick solution created by the collective Noobz:  a team of coders lead by the legendary Fanjita). Seems that the PSP Slim will be even more popular in the holiday season...

PSP SEXY JANKEN GAME

di Frankie (09/04/2007 - 09:21)


After releasing the Blu Ray disc  "All Star Yakyuken Battle" (for Playstation 3) back in december, Gbtp is going to release a new PSP UMD Video Baseball Janken type game. It's basically a variation of "Paper Scissors Stone" game where "Glove" wins over a "ball",  a "bat" wins over a "glove" and a "ball" wins over a "bat".  Thge game is rated over 15. Actually this could be a good game to train for the 2007 World Rock Paper Scissors Championships that will be held in Toront in october. Anyway after this release Sony will state that UMD VIDEO format is alive and kicking and that UMD VIDEO is dominating the portable video media market...

Haruhi su PS2

di Frankie (06/28/2007 - 11:59)


MOE Scoop!!!
La Haruhi mania contagia anche le console Sony e, dopo l'annuncio della versione PSP, sulla rivista Famitsu sono apparse anche le prime immagini della versione PS2 che verrà intitolata Suzumiya Haruhi no tomado e sarà disponibile a gennaio 2008. Nel gioco si impersona  Kyon che tenterà di realizzare un videogioco insieme agli altri membri dell' SOS dan e il gioco creato sarà realmente giocabile!!
Chi non riesce a resistere, può tranquillamente acquistare uno dei tanti videogiochi doujin ispirati a questa incredibile serie animata.

Nuova avventura su PSP

di Frankie (06/10/2007 - 00:53)



    Il formato UMD è dato da molti per morto (e certo Sony non sembra volerci convincere del contrario) ma la Software House giapponese Jin Products ha deciso di produrre Sugao no hohoemi:  un adventure game che utilizza il formato UMD. Le avventure del tipo, clicca e leggi,  (che, da anni, stanno riscuotendo tanto successo in Giappone sotto forma di videogiochi hentai per PC) con la loro bassa interattività si adattano perfettamente al dischetto video della Sony.
