PSP Pandora Deluxe Updated to v1.3


Hack (or recover) your hand-held real good and proper like with DJB’s updated version of PSP Pandora Deluxe; dubbed PPD for short. I once described PPD so wonderfully; I’ll just reiterate that –

Conveniently handle all your Pandora needs with DJB’s all-in-one solution… PSP Pandora Deluxe prepares your — preferably second or extra — memory stick to be used with a Pandora Battery. This program will not convert your battery; however, it does include the necessary support tools to do just that.

PSP Pandora Deluxe v1.3 changes:

Fixed the Installer (wasn’t installing to specified path).
Added Windows 98SE/ME/2000/2003 Support.
Added an option to use MSPFormat to format the stick.
Added an option to inject the Time Machine IPL Loader.
Added more XMB Support Tools:
FuSa screenShoot
JoySens 1.42b

Sackboys build the Joystiq logo



So LittleBigPlanet is complete. You know this from our interview at Leipzig. We've been covering the game pretty closely since its reveal at GDC 2007, so we wanted something a little special for our PAX 2008 coverage. What could be more special than building the Joystiq logo and stickering the thing to death, before riding off in a fully-functional tank? We've sped it up and added some music you might be familiar with, to give you a bite sized, level building experience. Hopefully, for the LittleBigObsessed, we'll have the full 15 minute video available for you to check out soon.

Last day to vote for Battlefield: Bad Company conquest maps


Today is the last day you can head over to EA's Battlefield: Bad Company site to vote for which two maps you'd liked to see modified to become a Conquest battleground in an upcoming map pack. You can choose between Acta Non Verba, Crossing Over, Par for the Course, Ghost Town, Welcome to Bad Company and Crash and Grab. It looks like Par for the Course is at the head of the pack, with Acta Non Verba at a distant second. In addition to the two maps selected in this democratic manner, two will be dictated to us by DICE. Make your voice heard by casting your vote here.

Make outstanding LBP levels, land a job at Media Molecule



It's slightly ironic to be writing an article about 'getting a job' on Labor Day; however, the work we speak of is probably one you won't want to take a holiday from. In an interview with CVG, Media Molecule's Pete Smith spoke about the possibility of recruiting top LittleBigPlanet community designers to join the Britain-based team.

"We will be aware of who those awesome designers are and certainly there's the potential to get them building levels as part of the dev team," said Smith. With LittleBigPlanet coming out on October 29 in Europe (open October date for other regions), that gives starry-eyed, yet Hotpocket-breathed gamers just about two months to start planning out those designs a curriculum vitae.

Resistance 2 ARG sites halted


Looks like Project Abraham, getawarjob and America First America Only, three of the four Resistance 2 ARG sites, have been met their ends. There is nothing left on getawarjob, while Project Abraham left us a few clues. A letter in the inbox shows the Project has been stopped and moved from Alaska to Bryce Canyon facility, as well as an end letter from Dr. Aklin summarizing the work she has done. The last test subject, Kenneth Danby, was apparently released as well.

At America First America Only, a letter declaring "They've been on to us!" has been left behind. They are moving "further underground" and the last issue of their news letter, volume 7, is hidden away in their archives.

The only site remaining is SrpaNet, but we haven't had any luck figuring out the new login. Is the Resistance 2 ARG over until the release of the game in a couple of months? Or will there be more? Luckily for us, there is a Resistance wiki over at Wikia, and almost all the documents on the site can be reviewed there. Check it out.
