pspthemes: psp themes - Here's an update to Bitmap Hunter for devices

Gamers will no doubt be interested to see that their favorite consoles -- the Nintendo Wii, Microsoft's Xbox 360, and Sony's Playstation 3 (just to name a few) -- are just as beautiful to behold on the inside as they are on the outside. A courageous enthusiast named Reintiji's uploaded a whole set of x-rays to Flickr, and we have to say they turned out pretty artistic.

Rumors of a major PSP hardware redesign have repeatedly bupsp themesled to the surface over the last several months -- some claiming the removal of the system's UMD disc drive, and others pointing to a second analog stick and sliding screen. According to sources directly involved with the new system, we have learned that Sony will quell those rumors by unveiling their revamped PSP at this year's E3 conference in June.

Hi Guys,

Here's an update to Bitmap Hunter for devices 16 bit graphics.

Bitmap Hunter is a homebrew program for Sony PSP designed to hunt,

and directly edit monochrome, 256 colour, or 16 bit bitmaps within firmware files

for electronic devices so they can be user customised.

Bitmap Hunter has now been tested with Apple Ipod firmware,

although I don't own the ipod hardware to try loading it.

Video is of Bitmap Hunter V4 with 256 colour (8 bit) graphics.

This definately marks my retirement from the PSP scene (the programming side at least).

I've moved on to my first Windows program, and would like to look into the Apple iphone later on.

It would be safe to say this will be my last public PSP program unless I happen to need something

for myself in aid of some project that may also suit others.

Many have speculated that the update would be called either the PSP 2 or PSP-4000,psp theme, but our sources claim Sony will forgo a numerical moniker in favor of a subtitle. We've heard various rumored code names for the project (including PSP Slide, PSP Flip, and PSP Go!), but given that Sony has introduced the Go! brand of add-ons (the Go!View video on-demand service and 1.3 megapixel Go!Cam) for the European PSP, it seems likely that the new system will in fact be called the PSP Go! Our sources further confirm that this redesign will be available in two SKUs, with either eight or 16 GB of built-in flash memory. The system is set for release in Japan this September with a U.S. debut coming in either late October or early November.

In addition, since the UMD is going away, Sony will have over 100 classic and new PSP titles available for download at launch (Gran Turismo Mobile is said to be one of the premier launch titles). As for the hardware itself, the redesign will include a d-pad, analog nub, and face buttons as part of a sliding unit sticking out below the screen (as seen in our mockup above). Unfortunately for those looking for twin-stick shooter controls, the new system will not have a second analog stick, but instead will remain consistent with the current control configuration.
