Here is a farely simple way to connect your PSP to a GPS receiver:
You'll need:
- Holux GPSlim236 (~$100)
- Intec G6704 PSP Remote Control (~$11). Alternatively you can rip the connector of your original remote control.
- USB (Mini B) cable ($5-10) (don't use the included USB power cable)
- 1K 1/4watt resistor (>$1)
- Electric tape ($2 roll)
Tools:
- Soldering iron
- Multimeter (for checking the connector pins, alternatively you can use just a circuit made out of a low voltage bulb and a battery)
- Razor blade (to cut and clean stuff)
Basically, you just need to cut the USB cable and PSP remote plug, figure out which wires go to the connector pins, listed below, and connect them according to the diagram:
Use caution when connecting the wires, make sure all of them are carefully insulated. You don't want to short any of them, since this may brick your PSP or GPS device.
Also, GPSlim 236 spec says that the TXD voltage may range from 3.2 to 5 V, so 1K resistor may not be enough to lower the voltage in some cases. So buy a few resistors: 5k,3k,2k,1k and see if your circuit works with a bigger value resistor first..
Once your cable is finished, test your setup with a little GPS viewer program that I wrote:
http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/bin/gps_viewer.zip
The source code is included in the zip...
Note, the program is written to work in kernel mode, so I doubt that it will work on 2+ fw..
Perhaps someone can look in to how to adjust it...
Here is the screenshoot:
So, waht's the point you ask? I am planning to plug this in to the upcoming map viewer applcation, which, of course will be able to point your gps location on a google-like map in real time... and scroll the map as you move along...
Special thanks to Art and futaris for helpping me out with serial port comm problems...
Almost forgot a disclaimer: As always, I am not responsible for any damages...
[EDIT]
The setup, described above, should also work with some older (and therefore cheaper) holux models: GR-230, GR-231. You can get those for ~45-60 bucks.

First heres the info from NeoFlash:
The first photo release for NEO MD 3in1 flash cart, it can support up to 1Gb neo2 serial.
In fact the NEO MD 3in1 flash cart is one USB Slim loader IV + MD interface,so it can burn any MK3/MD5/32X rom to the neo2 serial through the USB link cable,and play the MK3/MD5/32X rom on your SEGA 16 bit console immediately.
And of course you can burn the GBA/NDS roms to it and play on any GBA/NDS console too,just like the MGD2 idea,but it's more easy to use and can support different console directly.
That's why we call use neo2 serial flash cart on MD/SNES/N64 is NEO MYTH project.
The MD cart will sell under us$100.

We're trying to overlook the glaring irony in "Phantom" Entertainment, especially since year after year this company has been the most prominent vaporware hit since Duke Nukem Forever, but we just can't ignore the latest bit in their Phantom's comedy of errors that now has our favorite gaming company officially changing name in hopes of "invigorating its marketing approach." The path forward as of a few months ago had Infinium getting ready and set to change their name, the Phantom Lapboard set for release in Q2 of this year (wait, that's right now), and their Phantom Game Service to follow suit, but in a recent blurb from CEO Greg Koler, he astoundingly couldn't provide announcement dates for either. Previously blaming the annoyance of lawsuits and an inability to come up with $11.5 million, we've yet to hear a more recent excuse as to why we should still put faith in the powers at Phantom, but they did accomplish one thing: changing that name, and issuing another six hundred million worthless shares of stock. Regardless of the never-ending delays, we're keeping our fingers crossed, because the new and (potentially) improved Phantom Entertainment could seriously rattle the gaming market, erm, someday. And in the mean time, let the pumping and dumping begin!

- Sound is now played at 22Khz instead of 11Khz (i can play it up to 44Khz, it's better but slower  ).

- Snapshot files are now in PNG format (instead of BMP)
How to use it ?
Have a look to the README.txt file !
Two binary versions (for 2.x and 1.5 FW) and sources are included in the zip archive.
This package is under GPL Copyright, read COPYING file for more information about it.

It has been awhile since the last blog update. A few people inquired on the status of this development, so here is the info:
The project is still very much active.
I desided to re-write it from scratch since the previous version was too buggy and limited in functionality. I went away from SDL graphics libs - they exibited very unpredictable behavior and switched to custom graphics lib, mostly borrowed from lua player.
Furthermore, I desided to dump yahoo as the map donnor (with it's US & Canada only coverage) and start milking Google maps.
Google has worldwide map coverage, better map graphics and more of less open API for map manipulation.
I am pretty much done with scaling, xy <==>lat/lon conversion, basic attractions display, NMEA sentences parser, scripts to acquire maps
The new version has support for regular, satelite and hybrid maps...
I was able to load and display a farely large map:
40000sq km at street level resolution with 8 zoom levels. The size of it got pretty big: ~550MB.. but memory sticks are getting cheap nowdays :-)
The map interface and behavior are very similar to Google maps...
I am still waiting for my GPS order (Holux GPSlim236) to arrive, so I could start working on GPS connectivity...
If everything goes well I should be able to release a more or less stable version in a week or two, so keep checking the site :-)

Calling all Nintendo 64 fans with more money than sense: a prototype cartridge for never-released game Echo Delta has appeared on eBay.
As you can see on the auction page, Echo Delta sees you taking to the ocean floor, collecting resources and raising sunken vessels.
According to the seller, "It is addicting and has really great sound, awesome animation and control.
"Starcraft 64 and maybe Ogre Battle can sort of be compared since that's all we got but... The underwater element is really unique and unexpectedly surprising, giving way to its own whole world and genre."
The game has a Buy-It-Now price of $1520 (just under £825), but the seller will accept offers. And, er, postage is free.
"The game plays flawless, free of bugs," apparently; "It is amazing that it is finished but never came out."
Echo Delta was in co-development at Clever Trick, who don't appear to have done anything else, and Marigul Management, who developed Custom Robo, Doubutsu Banchou and Hey You, Pikachu! "If all goes well," the seller reckons, "We'll see another unreleased game by the same group or parent company that produced Echo Delta." Hmm...

Hi All,
Here is a new version of PSPAtari the emulator of Atari 800, 800XL, 130XE and 5200 series.
*** First i would like to thank you Cyphre for his help on the sound issue ! ***
What's new in version 1.0.3 :
- Improve the sound, it's now much more better
- The percent of battery left is now displayed in the emulator window
- Add a watchdog to automatically return to the emulator menu when the battery is very low (< 5%)
- Enter directly in the emulator menu on startup (instead of the ATARI screen)
- Bug fix in smooth image algorithm (resulting in wrong color display)
- Add keyboard change skin option (you can add your own virtual keyboard images in the graphics directory).

PS For those who wonder how to use 5200 Roms :
You have to load them using the original atari800 emulator menu (the yellow "Atari800 menu" option in the emulator window ).
Then select "Cartridge management" then "Insert cartridge" and specify your disk image file,
then choose the cartridge type 5200, and go back to the emulator using LTrigger.
