Despertar del Cementerio is Now Available
Author: mase
Despertar del Cementerio version 7 doesn’t offer an extensive list of new features, but the upgrades are notable. One of the biggest improvements was made to IDStorage which can now be recovered with ease. This is a nice addition because recovering it from accidental deletions and corruption was a real pain. Another neat feature is the format flash function which helps to install 4.01 M33 and support custom flash partitioning.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Despertar del Cementerio, it is mainly used to create Pandora batteries so they can be auto-updated to the most recent M33 firmware. In order for the application to work, you need a Pandora battery along with a Magic Memory stick.

PSP Camera Not Living Up To Expectations
Author: mase
Due to a lack of power the standard PSP camera will not be making its way to America.
The “Chotto Shot” is a 1.3 Megapixel camera attachment for the PSP, which has been available in Japan since 2006 and Europe since 2007. The peripheral connects to the top of the PSP using the USB connector slot, and comes bundled with video editing software.
Users can take snapshots and video, and add digital stickers to pictures using the bundled program. The highest resolution that the camera can achieve is 1280×960 for still photographs and 480×272 for video.
A representative from Sony at Comic Con told Siliconera that the company is unlikely to bring the device to North America, because the camera is not powerful enough to compete with those already found in most cell phones over here.
Some claim The 1.3 megapixel Chotto Shot was already obsolete when it first launched, but always felt that it had potential as an enhancement for games rather than as a professional-grade camera.
Unfortunately, there have not been any upcoming titles that take advantage of the camera input.
GPS Enabled PSP
Author: mase
During a press conference at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, Sony confirmed the launch of a GPS add-on for its PlayStation Portable, along with the possibility for GPS games and services as early as next year.
Sony PlayStation’s Senior Marketing Manager John Koller told MTV that this add-on “changes the dynamics of GPS but also changes the way developers think about games on PSP because you can start integrating GPS into it.”
The PSP model with GPS has been sold in Japan since 2006, causing states-side gamers and bloggers alike to anticipate U.S. integration. Yet, after this many years the excitement surrounding Sony’s announcement is mixed with doubt.
According to PSP Fanboy, “It only took, y’know years,” while Engadget writes, “Considering just how long we’ve been waiting for the add-on, we’re not holding our breath on the titles.”
Crunchgear notes, “All we care about is how the games come out. …It seems Sony still has to convince developers and publishers…to, you know, make the games first. A minor point.”
IGN’s Greg Miller got to test out a prototype model at the Comic Con conference in San Diego. Although no games are yet offered, the PSP’s GPS functions are very workable, if basic.
“What I found pretty neat were the options in the Settings folder,” Miller writes. “You can set your preference to give you routes that are the fastest, shortest, or economical; you can set it to avoid u-turns and tolls; and you can set your transportation mode to be car, taxi, pedestrian or bicycle.”
PSP Game Downloads Need Memory Sticks
Author: admin
As you know, if you are going to get psp game downloads, you need to get yourself a memory stick. Now, you probably wondering what is the best deal on the net for a memory stick. Well, I got to tell you, Amazon is having a bit of a sale on the SanDisk 8GB memory stick Pro Duo.
You see, if you have some spare cash lying around and need one, then you couldn’t do better than what they’re selling for on Amazon. And the reason why is because the price is about $25 of the normal sales prices.
If you go to Amazon now, you will see the 8GB selling for $56.69. That’s really good value considering just a few days ago it was going for around $80.
Anyway, they also have a sale on the 4GB too. But if you can extend your budget a little, go for the 8GB. (You will thank me for it. :))
Imagine how many psp game downloads and movies you can put on that!
Yeah lots!
Anyway, if you need a memory stick for all your psp game downloads, you better check out Amazon. Who knows how long they will have that special up their for.

If not, then you better get one.
So you may be wondering what the verdict is on this. Well, to be honest, I think it’s best you wait for a little while till they get a few more shows and stuff for you to download. You see, I would hold off until they add more episodes and things to download, so you get more bang for your buck.

PSP GPS Is Coming Soon
Author: mase
Now you may be wondering when psp GPS is coming out. Well, John Koller, senior marketing manager for the Sony PSP, recently confirmed in an interview with E3 that the portable console’s GPS attachment will arrive in North America some time next year. The attachment Koller spoke of seems to be the same accessory Sony announced in CES 2008 which proceeded the announcement of Skype support for the PSP.
Sony is currently seeking out other video game publishers who might be interested in employing GPS technology in their titles. Some may recall the hype behind Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops by Konami. This game quickly became famous for many reasons, one of them being its use of the PSP GPS receiver that allowed players to easily find and recruit additional personnel. While this added a new level of depth and functionality to the game, it also offered more portability by allowing players to step outside and complete the mission.
2009 seems like a long time to wait for this new attachment but as we all know, times flies with your PSP. Unfortunately, Koller hasn’t announced an official arrival date so you should certainly stay tuned to find out the latest psp details.

Famitsu Reveals 2 New PSP Games Sequels
Author: admin
As you probably know, Famitsu has just revealed that they are in the final stages of the psp games LocoRoco 2 and Patapon 2. Now you may be wondering when they will be released. Well, as normally is the case, they are first being released in Japan, with Patapon 2 hopefully ready for launch around the Winter 2008. And as for LocoRoco 2. Well, that is still yet unknown.
Anyway, I’m hoping the 2 psp games are released in the US. You see, if you haven’t played these psp games yet, you might want to try them out. And the reason why is because it’s a game anyone can play. Anyway, from the limited reports spreading the net, there are singing Mojas (the bad guys of the game) and a few new moves for the Loco Rocos.
I guess we might have to wait for the Tokyo Game Show in September to get the full details. From reports, they’re not likely to make an appearance at E3 next week.
