Homebrew developer Zack has released Snes9X Euphoria R1, an SNES emulator for the PSP based on Ruka's Snes9xTyl. This release deals mainly with speed, so if you're running into framerate problems on your old SNES emulators you might want to give this a try.

Thanks to Thrik for the tip!

The US PlayStation Blog recently asked for some reader questions to be fired off to Gran Turismo PSP's US producers Chris Hinojosa Miranda and Taku Imasaki. Well, they've got the answers back, so let's take a look at some of the stuff they've revealed in the full article.

GlennNZ and the Code Tactics team has released a quick update for Apollonia, their airstrike-style homebrew game for the Sony PSP. The code optimizations done in this update have sped up and smoothened out the game, and while the framerate tends to suffer a bit when the action gets too intense it's still a definitely improvement over earlier releases.

It's not quite that uber cool "advanced multi-tasking" iR Shell just yet, but here's a new version coming straight from AhMan. Think of this as an interim update. iR Shell v4.92 paves the way to incorporate support for Dark AleX's LEDA tool and RemoteJoy improvements.

Thanks to Fadil for the heads up!
