As demonstrated with the iPod, in order to keep up with consumers insatiable appetite you have to upgrade your hardware to meet their demands. It seems that Samsung may have accidently shown Sony's next step during the launch of there new 1.8 inch N-Series Hard drives.

If you look at the picture above, the hardware may look slightly familiar . As CES is coming soon there is a possibility that a formal announcement may be coming soon… or like apple they could try to keep it a secret.

Last nite I completely remade the saved games interface! Thanks to ILoveGames we also now have a TON of saved games to choose from.

Take a look here and remember to tell me what you think. Hopefully this will be something that you can tell your friends about .

p.s – you xbox'rs its coming soon

This week has just kept getting better and better as newer PSP updates have been popping up! Dark_AleX recently released his new custom firmware 3.02 OE-A which brought excitment to many PSP users. Recently, he released 3.02 OE-B which has a major update in it! In this new custom firmware, you can now load almost any PSOne game on it. You can use popstation to convert a ps1 iso to a pbp file.

**Remember, the only way to get to 3.02 OE-B is to upgrade from 3.02 OE-A.**

Merry Christmas!

As you can see we have:
1) Re-launched xboxbrew.com
2) launched graphixbrew.com
3) launched wiibrew.com
4) launched ps3brew.com

So you will see that we have missing images in many places (or the logos that are temp). If you are good at graphics help us here!

Saved Games and the pack generator are almost ready to become a live feature on all sites. Please give us any feedback that you think will help us!

Thanks to chaoszero, for those of you who are quite fond of an easy installation,
this application is the way to go.

The OE-A auto installer will automatically input configuration and install OE-A on you\’re PSP. You are required to have 1.50. It even installs the recovery folder for your OE-A!

Other requirements are that you must have you\’res battery charged over 75-80%. You must also have the GAME folder to be present even if you are not deciding for 2.71. The first thing you must run will be the 3.02 OE-A Firmware Install which should be in your GAME folder. If you have any questions please do not hesitate, ask on the forums.

Remember, you use this at you\’re own risk, we are not held responsible for any incidents that may occur.

Thats right folks! Dark Alex\’s Kernal dumping for 2.80 was a smash hit, but now 3.02 Custom Firmware? No way! Yes way sais Birdman. From what you got from the previous firmwares, spontanious would be the best to say once you have seen these new features:

• Runs 3.02 vsh
• Can run homebrew using 3.02 kernel
• UMD Video region free
• PSP kernel region selector
• O/X button selector
• WMA enabling option
• Flash player enabling option
• Pops (SCE PSONE emulator) – DRM protection hacked (Which means that you can now your game on more than one psp, and share them over the internet)

The design of the homebrew is only in specter hands, but for all you 3.00+ lovers, please I reccomend a good upgrade on this baby. Were gone from the bronze and silver ages, its time to fulfill our new golden ages with OE-A developement! Enjoy!

The new spunk funky looking game: Chase That Pyramid not only is in 3D, but its got a new reputation in the homebrew scene. Tactical Penguin has brought a lot of homebrew to us, but to me this is the most odd. A random pyramid must be chased in this game,
the feeling to me is that he chose such an object as to coding pyramid shapes are fairly you\’re main basic ones.
The game comes with some good tables and a nice looking radar on the top left.

Tactical Penguin hopes for these to come in his future releases:

• ^{Make texture for pyramid}
• ^{Different camera views}
• ^{More detailed environment}
• ^SFX
• ^{Anything else suggested}

Im pretty much looking forward to the texture map, a good scene could spice this game up! He wants to thank Joe48182 for compiling the stand alone eboot.pbp file for him. Also to some others as Youresam and alatnet for getting him started on the 3D environment for PSP.
