The PSP already has a big stock of homebrew music applications, but there's always room for one more! In this case, it's homebrew developer Jum's PXDrum Drum Machine, a simple sample-based drum sequencer for the PSP. PXDrum Drum Machine can be used to compose drum tracks and then playing them back as a backing track for other instruments or as a learning tool if you're a drummer.

A new update has been released for Jeff Lait's Powder, and this one's now release 10. There are two useful UI improvements, as well as the spell icons now marked grey if you are unable to cast them. The inventory slots have been recolored as well, depending on the known curse status of the items. This should reduce the note-taking required to start playing an old character again. More changes after the jump.

With Miriam bidding farewell to the PSP homebrew scene just a few days ago, we find ourselves with another well-known coder leaving the building. Red Squirrel of Alternative VSH Menu, RSPsar Dumper, and CTF Manager fame has announced that he will leave the PSP scene for good. *teardrops* His reasons for leaving may not be to the taste of some, but we'll take it nonetheless. Here's a toast to your legacy, Red Squirrel!
