		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m forced to abandon work on Castaway PSP. I&#8217;m consistently unable to get emulation to work in any mode other than monochrome, and having combed through the code five or six times, and having attempted contact with the developer of the other PSP Castaway emulator, there&#8217;s not much else I can/am willing to do.

The message is posted here in its entirety, and basically thanks the developer for writing Android apps, and offers a free Nexus One or Droid phone as a &#8220;thank you&#8221; for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back, I posted about my experience with PSP 2000&#8242;s video output capability &#8211; specifically, disappointment with the unscaled output on large-screen TV&#8217;s, and the lack of support for games on older CRT&#8217;s. The post, surprisingly, resulted in a lot of feedback from the community, on this site, as well as many others &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a new strangely sycophantic article on Slashdot, regarding the start of pre-orders for Pandora, a new open-source handheld console that a number of gaming sites have already mentioned. The article spawned a number of comments regarding the other handhelds currently available (such as the PSP and the GP2X), and the &#8220;openness&#8221; of those systems [...]]]></description>

The new model will include a built-in microphone and a brighter, more responsive screen &#8211; an improvement that is almost negligible when one considers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally broke down and bought a component cable, to be able to play PSP games on a TV. The experience was&#8230; disappointing, to say the least. The entire PSP screen takes up a fraction of the television&#8217;s screen, somewhat killing the point of having a TV cable. The XMB/DVD playback screen is larger (it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was just starting to program for the PSP, I envisioned first doing a port of fMSX, then a port of an emulator specifically for emulating arcade versions of Mortal Kombat games 1-3. Since I don&#8217;t think any emulators other than MAME support the games (and MAME&#8217;s source is a tangled mess), I doubt [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One question that I&#8217;ve been asked time and time again (and most recently by zx-81) is &#8220;why bother porting an emulator when there are other ports already?&#8221; This question was beaten to death when SMS Plus PSP was first released, and still comes up occasionally. The number one reason is simply that I enjoy porting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While porting an emulator, often times it&#8217;s helpful to see how authors of other ports handle certain challenges. Over time, a number of small issues have prompted me to look for possible answers in other applications. Quite often, source code for a similar port is freely available. Too often, however, it&#8217;s not. The surprising thing [...]]]></description>
