Condorstrike has released his homebrew game Pointman BETA as a POC due to his limited time.

HI GUYS, IT’S BEEN HARD FINDING TIME FOR THE PS3 WITH SO MUCH GOING ON AT WORK AND HOME, THAT’S THE REASON I DECIDED TO RELEASE THE POINTMAN BETA AS A (POC). WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO COMPLETE IT AND POLISH IT, ANOTHER REASON IS THAT THE PS4 IS AROUND THE CORNER, AND I’M ALSO MAKING A PC GAME.

Pointman: the Akkadian WarsThe game is a throwback to 80′s and 90′s styling and music, all of it was built for you guys as a proof of concept that with some time and creativity cool things can be accomplished. This game will run in CFWs 3.55 and 4.xx. There will be bugs!

Powerups are mostly disabled, and there’s a glitch on some textures loading, but it’s rare. I do a small homage to the scene in the credits, but you’ll have to finish the level first, good luck with that…lol, forget about HARD mode, even I can’t finish it, so use EASY.

If you let the MAIN MENU run, you’ll get to see the story, 80′s style.

Basically, avoid the Aliens and drive the ship or mech until you’ve covered the map sectors, scan artifacts if possible, and grab powerups, but then again, they’re disabled.

CHANGELOG:
POINTMAN (POC) BETA V0.987:

SINCE THIS IS A POC ALL I CAN SAY IS, HOPE YOU ENJOY IT… CAW!

Do any of you still own a PlayStation 1 ?, if so im sure the laser is knackered by now, perhaps this device called PSIO will be of some use, it lets you play PS1 Games, without the need of a burned disc or having any disc in the console, here is a quote from the video:

We are pleased to be able to show a working demo of PSIO. This is a prototype we have been working on for quite some time, and you can see it loading Klonoa: Door to Phantomile successfully. The game is completely playable, but the USB controller IC code we are using has not been optimised yet for speed, and so there are long load times.

The CD-DA and XA sectors are not implemented yet, but will be soon once we have the code up to speed.

Here is the video:

And here are some images, sorry for the WiiUHaX watermark, i forgot to disable that from the software >.<

I have to admit it’s an old concept but i posted this for obvious reasons…Enjoy it. (she is not pretty enough) but the creator of this “thing” took skyrim gameplay to a whole new level.

To quote:

Split controller designs are nothing new. We’ve seen them implemented by third parties such as SplitFish and, of course, major players – Nintendo’s Wii Remote and Nunchuk, and Sony’s PS Move and Navigation Controller. Now, Mad Genius is looking to up the ante with its new break-apart motion controller.

Mad Genius says the controller is capable of tracking movements as minute as 1/100 of an inch. A video demonstrates the controller being used in and unmodified version of Skyrim on Xbox 360, tracking the player’s body movement to make the character move in the game world. A more practical application is splitting the controller apart to aim and fire a bow in-game.

Holding the two halves like a bow and arrow, the game automatically equips and begins aiming the bow. The control is so fine, according to Mad Genius, that players will actually have to hold their breath to steady their shots, lest a tiny movement knock them off target.

The motion-tracking system will work with any game on any platform, including even outmoded platforms such as the original PlayStation (though it’s not clear how you would actually connect the two together). Mad Genius is planning to launch a Kickstarter to fund the final version of the controller, which will be wireless and, presumably, a bit sleeker.

With E3 round the corner and the PS4 having its début soon, it wouldn’t surprise me if someone leaked a video on how it looks, but at the same time a fake wouldn’t surprise me either, here is the video, judge for yourself:

Here are some images

According to a link posted by marty370, Sony has stated that the video was not produced by them, to check that story out, check here:

We are delighted to announce the first public release of our backup manager: Ps3ita Manager.

Ps3ita Manager was not created from scratch, on the contrary, is a simple fork of Iris Manager, initially for fun and then by the need to include some essential functions (fix for the error 0 × 80010009) for our cfw (and not only ..)

Gradually, the project has caught on, other changes were made to the manager, until the meat to the fire was enough to justify a first release ..

It was not created anything revolutionary .. but we think that some additions can be enjoyed by more people..

Quote from the source

Lo nuevo: en versión 2.40

2) Corregido el error en la definición de una variable en el FTP que hacía que se apagara la consola a la hora de no utilizar el mando, aunque estuviera transfiriendo archivos

3) Nueva mejora para el emulador de PSX que elimina la necesidad de modificar usleep() cambiándolo por un método que permite rellamar a las syscalls cuantas veces se quiera (y así poder hacer paso a paso las llamadas que entraban en conflicto haciendo entrar en bucle a la syscall al modificar el punto de retorno)

4) Añadido en el menu “Tools”, la herramienta “Control Fan & USB Wakeup”.

- Permite el control de temperaturas vía payload, System Manager (sm.self) en Miralatijera CFW 4.40 Core 3.3.0+, por el SYSCON o una velocidad fijada por el Usuario (opción “By User y velocidad en “User/Shutdown Speed”.

- Permite fijar el comportamiento del Payload/S. Manager ajustando velocidades/temperaturas al gusto del usuario, así como restablecer los valores predeterminados y recordar los valores fijados (“Set Settings” fija y graba los valores)

- Desde System Manager (sm.self) permite fijar un tiempo (o deshabilitarlo) en pasos de 10 segundos para que la utilidad escriba un fichero en el dispositivo USB en uso y evitar que se “duerma” por falta de actividad

It’s all about money

To quote:

Two of Electronic Arts’ top-level executives have collectively unloaded a total of 57,085 stocks, following a general increase in EA’s stock value after this week’s Star Wars exclusivity announcement. According to SEC forms filed yesterday, EA Sports executive vice president Andrew Wilson has sold his entire stake in the company: 32,085 shares at $21.42 a pop, for a grand total of $687,260.70.

EA senior vice president and General Counsel Stephen Bene followed suit, today exercising an option to buy 25,000 shares from EA at $16.06 per share for $401,500 in total, well below the current market value. Bene then sold those shares for $22.40 each, making $560,000. After subtracting the amount originally spent when the option to buy the shares was exercised, Bene made a net profit of $158,500. Unlike Wilson, Bene is still in possession of 6,700 shares of EA, according to SEC documents.

Back when it launched, Sony’s PlayStation 3 was something of a technological marvel for a home console — and it had the price to match. Despite a starting price of $499, Sony still lost money on the console, but it doesn’t plan to have the same issue this time around with the PlayStation 4. As reported by Eurogamer, Sony addressed the issue on its earnings call this morning after announcing that it made its first net profit in five years. “Unlike PS3, we are not planning a major loss to be incurred with the launch of PS4,” said Sony CFO Masaru Kato on the company’s earnings call.

As we already know, the custom hardware in the PS3 was to blame: “At the time we developed PS3, we made a lot of in-house investments to develop the chip, the Cell chip. Development of the chip saw the silicon processing and all the facilities invested by us ourselves,” said Kato. However, this time around Sony will be using a custom-designed AMD processor and what essentially boils down to a “supercharged PC architecture,”according to lead system architect Mark Cerny. Kato confirmed that Sony won’t have to make the same kind of investment it did with the PS3, saying that “we already have existing technology to incorporate and also product investment and all the facilities will now be invested by our partners, other foundries, so we don’t have to make all the investment in-house.” While it’s far too early to tell how the PS4 will fare in its battle against Microsoft’s next-generation console, the company is hoping it won’t be the money drain that the PS3 was in its early days.

The Official PlayStation Magazine has posted a five minute Game Play video on their YouTube channel, one fact about the video, is that it is not being played on a PS3 or PS4, keep an eye out for the Xbox 360 control pad buttons:

Yesterday, there was a slight mishap in which Rogero’s 4.41 v1.00 CFW was accidentally posted in public, it wasn’t ready for public use, so people/websites were asked to remove it, in the process Rogero found a few websites claiming to have a Rogero 4.41 v1.02 CFW, here is a quote posted by the developer on Tortuga Cove:

Attention Please:

some of you already know that a version of my CFW4.41 was leaked on IRC by accident from some days, that was not a big deal and it was not out yet because I wanted some close friends to test it well as usual before going public.

But now, I just came accross some google links posting a Rogero CFW4.41 v1.02 which I never built myself, I didn’t download it and never checked it too myself.
These links are in no way official and I don’t really know what PUP they are linking to, it may be a modified version of my leaked PUP, I don’t know and I won’t check it.
some of these links are:

http://www.allwarezfree.com/rogeros-cfw-4-41-v1/

http://ps3-hack.pl/forum/cfw-rogero-4-41-t4471.html

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og7Df379G7s

The version that was leaked is 4.40 v1.00 and not v1.02, there was only one PUP built which is version 1.00 and it didn’t have any known problems at all and there was no need to have another version.
Now that it was leaked and there is now some other versions claiming to be Rogero CFWs too, I will release my PUP in a short while along with the new Dump Auto Patcher v0.05 with 4.41 patches.

As usual the MD5 for the official version will be posted with the PUP soon so you know you are getting the correct version.
