The NeoFlash team has just released a demo program for their new PSP accessory, the PSP Motion Kit. For those of you who missed the release of the accessory, the PSP Motion Kit, as the name suggests, allows the device to become motion sensitive.

While it doesn't work with any retail games as of yet, nothing's stopping the homebrew scene from developing games and apps for the accessory. The new demo program from the NeoFlash team should give development a jumpstart. The source code for the program is also provided and can be downloaded below.

For those familiar with the series Legend of the Dragon by BKN, here's a treat for you. It's bit too late for the Chinese new year but hey, here's some new info about the Legend of the Dragon.

For the unfamiliar, the story starts with Ang and Ling Leung who happens to be twins. Ang gets chosen to be the Golden Dragon and Ling - in her disappointment, joins the forces of Woo Yin. Storyline centers on the 12 Chinese zodiac signs. In game, they have each have a temple and a temple guardian who turns into the zodiac they represent with the skills to match.

Legend of the Dragon from The Game Factory will feature 18 playable characters (each transforming into a temple guardian), three wireless multiplayer modes, four single player modes (quest being one), 18 battle arenas (completely destructible) and a responsive weather dynamic environment system. Also unique to this fighting game is a unique special moves system. Unlockable content includes a complete episode from the TV series' first season.

There's also the real time spell casting system, transformations, team and tag battles, total of eight game modes, WiFi multiplayer (for the PSP), and motion sensor controls (for the Wii). Ready to thwart the Zodiac Master's evil plans? Legend of the Dragon is set for release around March. While we wait, here's a load of screens.

Let's see: PSP-styled digital nubs on a DS, PS2 sticks on a PSP (heck the only thing missing is plugging the Xbox 360 guide button into either and we've got ourselves a three-way haxfest... er, forget I said that). And grandpasmurf of AcidMODS informs us of more cross-pollination going on in the control department. This time, he's plugging in a couple of motion sensors/accelerometers onto the DS and PSP so that they can be played like a SIXAXIS.

Yes, SIXAXIS. For those of you who want a Wiimote, find an IR sensor and bar to include in the package.

The demo unit is a DS Lite, but you will note that it plugs through a mini-USB port, so grandpasmurf says it can definitely be used with the PSP, too. Absent of any other details from grandpasmurf - hey, pay us a visit and drop us the 411, if you can - we can speculate that the said mini-USB port wires to the D-pad, similar to the Ghetto Joystik/Ben Heck PSP analog mods.

Other than that, well, we can offer little else in the way of detail. Like we said: grandpasmurf, anytime you want to drop a line, our Comments section is always open. And one other thing: we wonder if this means we've got some Wiidiots who're about to turn the DS (or the PSP) into Flying Game Controllers of Doom (TM). Oh noes.

Besides grandpasmurf, thanks also to luke for the heads-up! Now heads down! Flying handheld incoming!

Sony's Dual Shock 3 controller (or so it has been tentatively called) for the PS3 will feature motion sensor support - so why not have a motion sensor on the PSP? This video shows a motion sensor adapted to work with the PSP. From what I can tell it's running the PSP game Mercury, and works reasonably well., although it's not the most sensitive of motion sensor devices.

It could be a homemade motion adaptor for the PSP, or, most likely an early development version of the motion sensor accessory that was being developed for Mercury before it's release. What a great attachment this would make for the PS3 - Who needs Dual shock 3 when you've got a PSP to use?
