neur0n has released updates for both of his custom firmwares! Both 6.37 ME v7 and 6.35 Beta v18!
Like the others in the past, 6.35 is for PSP 2000 models only, but its update brings some cool improvements:
• Adding PluginManager to the VshMenu
• Removal of “Execute BOOT.BIN” option from RecoveryMenu
• Update of the NidResolver
• And supports custom PS1 DOCUMENT.DAT files
Of course, v7 of 6.37 ME has the same updates of:
• Adding PluginManager to the VshMenu
• Removal of “Execute BOOT.BIN” option from RecoveryMenu
• Update of the NidResolver
• And supports custom PS1 DOCUMENT.DAT files

To install the 6.37 ME v7 custom firmware, first, you need to install CFW or HEN like 5.00M33 or 6.35PRO onto your PSP, and then:

• Copy UPDATE folder at ms0:/PSP/GAME/.
• Put 6.37 official update at ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/637.PBP .
• Run installer from xmb.

What is probably the best feature on this is that if you hold the Right trigger whenever you turn your PSP on, it turns it to the recovery menu like most custom firmwares. But when you hold the Home button, you can boot official firmware! :D

Nintendo hasn’t had the 3DS in America that long and expectations for its sales were high, but who would have though they would not only surpass all other DS sales, but also shatter other records as being the most sold Nintendo handheld in history? Very interesting seeing as how the 3DS is also their most costly.

“Nintendo worked hard to get as much product as possible to retailers on day one to meet demand, and we will continue with these efforts moving forward.”

Whether or not you’re excited about this handheld, it is very impressive. You’ve got to agree with that.

The new iOS update is here! For now, there is no changes in the signal power in the CDMA models (Verizon, etc.), but AT&T’s will be a minor update, though.
The rest of the changelog is as follows:

• Resolves bugs related to activating and connecting to some cellular networks
• Fixes image flicker when using Apple Digital AV Adapter with some TVs
Alongside that, it does patch over a serious flaw in the mobile web browser… Luckily, there were no exploits being worked on, so no real loss!

It will help other devs to reverse engineer the hypervisor of PS3 further. You can find the following (Based on the folders in the archive):

Dump LV2 Reversing

HV Dump of 3.41 Reversing
HV Dump of 3.55 Reversing

What’s working

1 player (keyboard only)
We have succeeded to enable gameshark codes
Graphics works excellent on most games we have tried; Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, Ridge Racer 64, Diddy Kong Racer, Mario Kart 64, Banjo Kazooie and 1080 Snowboard.
Games we have tried that are jerky (so far): Duke Nukem 64, Doom 64, Hexen 64 and WCW Smackdown 64.

Issues

Audio is not working yet.
A user interface and the ability to edit and change files such as controller settings, cheat codes, etc. (We do all this over FTP now).
Game menu (we now have to upload one game at the time).
PS3 controller, (we now have to use a USB keyboard).
Multiplayer.

The man responsible for opening home brew on the iPhone and the PS3 is being bullied by Sony and needs a world class legal team; Unfortunately, that means MONEY.

Sony has five lawyers and poor George only has two. He needs three more to even things out, and that is where you come in.

If you have benefited from his work (ie – modded your PS3) then go to his site: http://geohotgotsued.blogspot.com/ and donate whatever you can even if it’s $5 for legal tender.

George estimates he needs around $10,000 to win the case; Winning the case means that YOU will always have the right to have home brew on current and future consoles. Every dollar helps, I will send what I can as often as I can and you should too. Any funds left over once the case is settled will be donated here. If you feel you can not donate financially you can still help by spreading the word and passing on the donation link.

Sony only wins if good people sit around and do nothing.
