So official firmware 6.00 is here. As with every OFW release, there's bound to be speculation about what steps the homebrew community would counter the new protections it puts into place, and who do we all turn to but Dark AleX? Those hoping for a 6.00 M33 release will likely end up waiting in vain, however.

After translating the official theme creator to German language, homebrew developer Lektor came up with a new mIRC script for the Playstation Portable. Even though this is the first time we're going to cover this, the release has just brought the program up to version 2.0.

Called mIRC-PSP, Lektor said that the script comes with an RSS feed for some of the most known websites dedicated to the Sony handheld like QJ.NET's PSPUpdates. Aside from that, the script also provides users with applications like Query Blocker and a German version of the said theme creator.

Aside from the already mentioned, links to several PSP-dedicated IRC channels were also provided. mIRC-PSP v2.0 comes with an Info.txt file containing useful details about the program. It was written in German so for our English readers, take the time to translate it to avoid causing problems to your Sony handheld.

PSP homebrew developer zx-81 has just released a new version of PSPIRC. This spanking new version, 1.0.5, is bringing a couple of changes to the said application, both for support and aesthetics.

In case you haven't the slightest idea what PSPIRC is, it's basically a chat client for the PSP. It sports a virtual keyboard, IR keyboard support, courtesy of Harald Fielker's work, and works both for firmware 1.5 and 3.40-OE. Anyway, here are the changes for version 1.0.5:

• Support iso-8859-1 characters in IRC console for West European languages (characters such as à, é, è ... are now printed properly instead of a white space)
• Bug fix in console display
