PSPgo lets users control PSP games with a PlayStation 3 controller. Nifty, but what if you have a regular PSP? Well, there’s this idea.

Sony Computer Entertainment America kicked around the idea of connecting a PSP directly to a standard PlayStation controller. A patent outlines two ideas. One uses a hinged PSP case locked on a regular controller. Another solution has users plug their PSP into a special controller. Ah, that brings back memories of good old video game cartridges. Both connected controllers give the PSP a second analog stick, a feature developers could utilize if this accessory ever gets released and sells like hotcakes.

Would you buy it?

Well, they're helpful if you speak Japanese, that is. The latest round of ads for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker out of Japan centers on the escapades of Tom and Dick, two cartoon dudes who really, really like living everyday life as if they were Solid Snake. The duo demonstrate everything from the "heart massage" technique (reviving a downed teammate) to the game's four player co-op functionality, with plenty of goofy animation to boot.

Andriasang noticed the ads over at the "Hamaru Gear Solid" website -- "Hamaru Gear Solid" is the marketing campaign for Peace Walker, based on Hirokazu Hamamura, CEO of Enterbrain (the company that owns and publishes Japanese gaming mag Famitsu), and a pun relating his name to the word "Hamaru" (meaning "to get in"). We've embedded all five for you after the break, should you choose to entertain their sheer madness.

This Choice is designed for to be used as a simple menu to select from your personal backup collection of homebrew and your collection of other games.

This software uses it's own icons for homebrew "48 x 48 pixels"

Instructions : Making an Icon

For an eboot.pbp application simply create an 48x48 pixel icon named eboot.png at the same location of your eboot.pbp file.

For an iso based homebrew simply do the same but for the naming of the file you simple use the same as your iso file with the extension iso replaced with png, eg. if you had an homebrew.iso you would also have another file named homebrew.png

You can rate every entry by pressing left or right on the d-pad.
Launch a homebrew by pressing cross
On exit of any homebrew you will be returned.
Home will return to the XMB

I mainly making this for my little nephews so they have a nice simple menu to select what game they like to play and have released it here in case anyone is interested in looking for a simple menu for thier kids or nephews or what ever.

Choice for BOOT is similer for Choice for Slim. Choice for BOOT is designed to make use of that cfw feture that will launch an eboot.pbp from a directory named BOOT on startup.

Hi guys, this is a port of a windows game called Dink Smallwood to the PSP. It's an isometric RPG originally made in 1997 about a farmer defeating the forces of evil.

This port works better on the PSP-2000 models due to larger RAM, but still works on a phat.

I didn't make this, but the developer doesn't mind me listing this.

You can download it from freedink.org under the downloads for PSP section.

The source code is available as well under the GPL.
The original windows version is available for free from RTSoft.
