It run doom on it! MAME for Digita, the first truly portable version of MAME, emulating Donky Kong and Doom for Digita running shareware Doom on a Kodak DC265 Digita OS based digital camera. MAME for the Sega Dreamcast video game console connected to a TV emulating Xevious. Thanks Doug! Link.

Casey rules…a simulation of the old Wooden Labyrinth game. the cool part is that its controlled by a web cam attached to a slate Tablet PC. so you physically have to tilt the Tablet PC which tilts the game board and makes the marble roll accordingly. you can also control it with a web cam attached to a desktop computer by holding the camera and tilting the camera yourself (else you can just use a mouse). this is actually the first game i’ve ever written, and its also the first time i’ve written a Managed Direct3D application from scratch. oh yeah, the binaries can be downloaded … and i’ll put the code up within a couple days (need to clean it up). finally, there are also some videos of it in usage Link.

Earlier we reported on the Bochs x86 emulator being ported to the PSP by Matan. This is indeed true and has opened the door for a wide range of options that the PSP can now do, not limited to but including the running of: FreeDOS, Linux, DLX Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, PicoBSD, Pragma Linux, Debian 3.0r0 and 2.2r5, and any other disk images with pre-installed systems on them. Downloads on the site… Link. I can confirm that the Linux and DOS ones worked on my PSP (photos here). Remember- don’t ever update your PSP firmware to 2.0, homebrew rules.

I’d use this if I upgraded to 2.0. What this is meant to be is an offline website, accessible at all times by your PSP. If you do have an internet connection, there is an assortment of links to help you through the internet without using PSP’s dial-a-key-board, including fast links to e-mail, searches, and online messengers. This is accessible to anybody using the official PSP Firmware 2.00 built-in browser. Link.
