maxthebest has been at his coding again and this time it’s for his application called SaveMe2.0. This homebrew application allows you to put your PSP into sleep mode while showing some usful tools such as a time and it allows you to set your CPU speed in order to save up on your battery. While the application might not seem like much it can come in handy if your conservative on wasting your battery.

Changelogs:
V2.0
-Now the prx runs in kernel mode (so it kicks out most of the freezes problems)
-The prx doesn’t crash when launching internet browser (thanks to kernel mode)
-If hold is down, the prx won’t launch (usefull on USB connexions)
-Deleted the config file (it will be back soon…) (so time is set to about 30 seconds and cpu to 10MHz)
-Now the screen is switched off rather than displaying black background (saves more power)
-Nothing is displayed anymore (as the screen is off, it would be useless)

There are rumors that suggest that the new Tom Clancy game ENDWAR, will be coming to handhelds . As posted by CVG: “According to several reports, de Plater confirmed the game will making its way to handheld platforms at GDC. That’s all we’ve got to go on, for the moment as nothing official has come from Ubisoft.” Plus with Ubisoft’s loves to put there games on multiplatforms so this rumor is more than likely.

Here is the new and upcoming releases of psp games coming this March. Pretty slow but there may be more. Plus there is a NEW PSP COLOR coming out. Beautiful.

NA Games:

• Patapon
• Blokus Portable: Steambot Championship
• Puzzle Guzzle
• God of War: COO
• flOw
• Pro evolution soccer 2008
• MLB 08 the show

Just to name a few.

Every one knows how popular Monster Hunter is in Japans, so popular they actualy made an engery drink of it. Monster hunter now joins Final Fantasy with the drink made after PSP RPG’s. It’s loaded with vitamin-B and is supposed to taste “fruity.”

We know GPS is coming to PSP some time this year. Considering the booth was underground, the device apparently had trouble figuring out a precise location. But when this comes out we will have no reason to leave our PSP’s at home, or at least another reason not to.

Hopefully more news coming soon.

1UP has named these the top ten most wanted PSP games of the present.

When it arrived last year, Sony’s flOw was one of the first games that offered hope for PlayStation 3 (a console that was, if you’ll recall, somewhat foundering at the time). It was a creative indie-developed game snapped up by the publisher and transformed into an inexpensive downloadable title — and it even made clever use of the Sixaxis controller, to boot.

Now the game is coming to PSP, and with remarkable fidelity. As before, players control a microscopic organism devouring its way to a higher form of evolution; as it consumes smaller creatures, its body grows, allowing it to take on larger and more dangerous creatures. flOw obviously loses its Sixaxis control scheme in the transition, but it plays perfectly well with the analog nub. Otherwise, it’s very much the same game, even visually. The dreamy, ethereal graphics look just as crisp and abstract as on PS3, with objects in higher or lower “layers” of the world fuzzing in and out of focus as the player moves his microbial life-form through the medium.

We weren’t able to find definite answers on how flOw will be sold to PSP owners, but the recent news that Sony will be launching a PSP storefront is probably as close to an answer as necessary.

Umihara is a interesting looking game where you guide a child around a brightly colored block-like world, while fighting different fish monsters – but no one actually knows. There is new trailer on the official website. It actually doesnt look to bad at all.

The growing list of things your PSP can do has gotten bigger with their new fuction Skype.
The PSP version of Skype appears to match the PC version in functionality. Users will be able to make and receive free calls between other Skype users. SkypeOut and SkypeIn, offering call service to and from cell phones and land lines, will also be supported, although you’ll have to make sure and have the required Skype Credits for these paid options. Also included with the PSP software are contact management tools and “Skype Presence,” which alerts other users about your online status. You will need to have the Skype service, an internet connections, a Memory Stick Duo and a Microphone device.

And another thing you may need to get if you have the old PSP is a new one. Skype doesnt work on the old PSP’s basically the only downfall for the people with no money in their pockets.
