So, what's Dark AleX been up to these days? A quick trip to his site - and a tip from sinX - reveals that the developer's just finished work on a new flashing application, dubbed nandflasher 0.1 beta.

This PC-based flasher app is built as a tool for executing advanced operations on PSP nands, and will work for the Undiluted Platinum and PSP-Devolution modchips. Not so much on Devolution, though, since DaX doesn't own a Devolution.

Future updates for nandflasher include a GUI fix, improved Devolution codes, bug fixes, and the capability to let the nand logical flash be detected by Windows as a storage device. Usage instructions are available in the file bundle - we strongly advise users to head there before doing anything else.

The ever-innovative DickyDick1969 has once again updated his PiMPStreamer homebrew application. If you aren't familiar with this app, it is actually a mod of another mod - the popular PMP Mod, and DickyDick1969's creation features wireless streaming of video to your PSP.

According to the homebrew developer, he managed to get rid of a few pesky bugs and tested the infinite stream stuff...and yes it did not work in 0.55, but now it properly picks up the file. And also he says that it "now also 'minimize to system tray' and support for >1000 mp3 files in a directory. For the new features be sure to install both psp and windoze software…"

And of course, there is always room for improvement. According to DickyDick, there is still a bug to solve- "if you want to time skip it, it has to be in original frame rate mode." So since he is not planning on abandoning the PiMPStreamer project soon, constructive opinions and even criticisms are always welcome.

Thanks, sinX, for the heads up!
