Are you ready to rock? Or, more specifically, will you be ready to rock on December 18? That's the day (a Thursday, in fact) that Wii and PS2 owners will finally be able to call friends over for a Rock Band 2 party. That's right – before the weekend. Crazy, huh?
RB2 for Wii supports the download (and storage on SD card) of tracks via the in-game music store only; you'll have to add Wii Points through the Wii Shop Channel, per usual. PS2 owners ... sorry, but your DLC is in another castle.
Here's the package / pricing breakdown. Note that peripherals for the PS2 version are already on sale.
Special Edition Bundle (Wii) – $189.99
Standalone Software (Wii) – $49.99
Standalone Drums (Wii) – $89.99
Standalone Guitar (Wii) – $69.99
Standalone Software (PS2) – $49.99

After a really long period of silence,we're back with a bang!
Today we are announcing the release of Pcsx2 Playground 1.0.0395

SX has released today a new test build of Beats of Rage for the PS2, heres the release details:
Does anyone want to try out a build I've finally been able to compile. Its the same version as Pixel's Port 0.1b but I have managed to get it to compile using the latest SDK. Feedback required. Lets see if it runs since I don't have a PS2 to test with...... Just replace your working elf with this one.
Only existing users of Pixel's PS2 BOR Port are required to give me feedback since I don't know what the file layout is for Pixel's Port.

Finding themselves in need of a thermometer that could communicate with the computer, The Cheap Vegetable Gardener resorted to a bit of hacking. They created this PS2 controller thermometer by attaching some thermistors to the analog stick inputs. Each PS2 controller could collect data from up to four thermistors. There is an auto shutoff feature built into the controller that shuts off the analog signal after a period of non use. To overcome this, they simply taped the L2 button down.

SX posted a beta build of OpenBoR for PS2 at LavaLit.com:
Does anyone want to try out a build I've finally been able to compile. Its the same version as Pixel's Port 0.1b but I have managed to get it to compile using the latest SDK. Feedback required. Lets see if it runs since I don't have a PS2 to test with...... Just replace your working elf with this one.
Only existing users of Pixel's PS2 BOR Port are required to give me feedback since I don't know what the file layout is for Pixel's Port.
Here is a quote from Pixel's How-To from psx-scene.com on how to use Pixel's port. See if this helps:
The software will look for the file "bor.pak" on the same location it was booted. For example, if you use ps2link to boot it from host:, it will try to load the bor.pak file at host:bor.pak. It doesn't reset the IOP, so, it should be able to get benefits from any previously loaded irx, and thus, it should maybe load magically from hdd. No idea though...
Now, you can force the boot location by renaming the binary. If it starts with "cd" (like "cd_bor.elf") it will try to load the file cdrom0:\bor.pak, if it starts with "dvd", it will try to load the file cdrom0:\bor.pak, in DVD mode, if it starts with "host", it will try to load the file host:bor.pak, and finally, if it starts with "mc"... duh... forget about it
The options should be automatically saved on the memory card. Beware, it doesn't tell when it does... but just don't remove the memory card, the joypads, or switch off the console when it does, that is, when you exit the settings menu, or when you finish off the game.

The Gundam tap never runs dry at Namco Bandai Games. Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam came out like two weeks ago in Japan which means its about time for them to announce a new Gundam game.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Gihren no Yabou Axis no Kyoui V is a follow up to Mobile Suit Gundam: Gihren no Yabou Axis no Kyoui which came out for the PSP last February. Unlike Gundam vs. Gundam, the Gihren no Yabou branch of Gundam games are more like Risk.
While Mobile Suit Gundam: Gihren no Yabou Axis no Kyoui was only a PSP game, Mobile Suit Gundam: Gihren no Yabou Axis no Kyoui V is in development for the PS2 and PSP. Both versions will be simultaneously released in Japan and probably only in Japan on February 12. The PSP version is 1,300 yen cheaper and as a bonus anyone who bought last year’s Gihren no Yabou PSP game can load their play data to unlock 14 scenarios from the beginning.
This isn’t the only Namco Bandai game to get a simultaneous PS2/PSP release. They are using the same strategy with Soul Eater: Battle Resonance which comes out this January. It seems like only their anime games get this treatment, though. Still, it’s interesting to see publishers like Namco Bandai keep the PlayStation 2 going well into 2010 with PSP ports.

Sorry about the long silence folks. I know most of you must be wondering what's going on these days and wondering where has everyone gone. Some of you already know I've been busy with moving from the US to the UK and this has kept me quite busy with sorting out visas and then with the actual move. Of course, once I made it, I was far from being able to put much time aside to be active again. I had a marriage to prepare for!
Well, I'm happy to say that I am now married to a certain lady some of you may know as Raefraction. She is the sister of refraction, and so this now makes me his brother in law. Odd as it may seem, PCSX2 became a gateway to something more than I could have ever imagined. It's led me to my beautiful wife and great new family. I'm not sure if this is a first for emulation, but I'm sure anyone would be hard pressed to find another example quite like this.
All that said, I'm working my way towards getting back into the swing of things. I've still got just a few more quirks to work out, but the bulk of it is done. I'm also planning on egging on my new brother in law to get back into this with me as well. Give us just a bit more time, and I'll see what I can do. Thanks for bearing with us while things have been busy in our every day lives.
For those interested, you can see pictures from the wedding (which include myself, refraction, Raefraction and family) at General Emulation.
Also there is a video I've uploaded to youtube of the ceremony. Keep in mind that due to their 10 minute limits for videos, I've had to separate it into two parts, which you can view in the above post as well. Thanks again, and I'll be back soon.

news via french site jv247:
The disappearance of the PS2 backwards compatibility of the PlayStation 3 had caused the dissatisfaction of a number of players. It appears, however, it has not been completely abandoned. Indeed, according to our sources at a publisher of games, backwards compatibility should be part of a recent firmware update for the PS3. Withdrawn at the last moment, it could still be contained in a forthcoming updates. This addition would aim to facilitate the arrival of PS2 games on the PlayStation Store. Stay tuned ...

Who would have thought that this late in the console's life cycle that a PlayStation 2 game would make the cover of a major gaming publication? The latest issue of Play magazine features Atlus' upcoming RPG Persona 4, with a whole slew of special Shin Megami Tensei-themed features packed inside. It's really an odd sight to see, especially considering the other games listed in the top-right corner of the cover - Afro Samurai, Mirror's Edge, Resistance 2, Sonic Unleashed, and Prince of Persia - all big name, current generation titles.
I get the feeling this is a sort of swan song for the aging console, but what do you guys think? Is this the last time a PS2 title will grace the cover of a major multi-platform gaming mag, or does the little black box still have some life in it yet?

News via psx scene
Sorry about the late announcement on this one, EEUG slid this one in under the radar
Looks like we have a number of changes this time like an added JPEG viewr and bugfixes. Also noted is an updated language file.
Quote:
Changelog for Version 2.9 (Note updated language files)
- fixed incorect subtitle alignment when subtitle font horizontal size
is not equal to the default value of 32;
- slightly changed file autodetection algorithm;
- added baseline JPEG decoder (written from scratch) and rather primitive
JPEG viewer. Sequence of images can also be viewed using the same
button combinations as for audio/video playlists ("circle" for folder and
"R1-circle" for the current folder). While in viewer following gamepad and
remote control buttons can be used:
- left : previous slide;
- right/cross: next slide;
- triangle : exit;
- rectangle : zoom-in/zoom-out (only for images with resolution lower than screen one);
Note: decoder supports only baseline JPEGs at the moment. Progressive,
loseless and other "exotic" files are not currently supported.
Maximum image resolution that has been tested is 6912x4608 though higher resolution images should also be processed without problems;

News from LBGShi
Before I begin, I should note that Oobles gave the OK for me to make this thread, and the project on the PS2Dev.org main site as well. Given the atmosphere, and that some PS2Dev members are quite opposed to cheat/hacking systems, it would be a grave error not to mention that, so I hope Oobles doesn't mind my name-dropping 
For some time now (several years, off and on), GSHI.org administrative staff and several select members of the scene have been working, in secret, on something tentatively called Project Artemis: a hacking system for the Playstation 2. The primary goal of this project is to allow users to create, or hack, their own cheat and game enhancement codes, using RAM-dumping, dump comparison, constant memory writes for testing, breakpoints, and as many other tools as feasible.
The project is far from complete. There have been quite a few stumbling blocks, and some impressive progress has been made. Through several primary coders (Sang123, Hit n' Run Games, misfire, Shyam Narain, Xerxes Technologies, cYs Driver), it has been determined that...
A: Hiring a company to design such a system will result in either paying tens of thousands of dollars, or ending up with a company that cannot complete the project, and...
B: Hiring a solitary coder, such as a skilled member of the scene, will eventually result in the coder being overwhelmed.
Hence, lacking the necessary funds to hire a coding group or company adept enough to complete the task at hand within a reasonable amount of time, we have made the best decision possible, with Artemis, GSHI, and the scene in mind: to bring the project out of the darkness, and into the realm of open source.
If anyone is interested in contributing (even an indication of interest in the project helps!), feel free to make a post, if only to say so. We will continue to chronicle our progress, research, and thoughts here: http://gshi.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=56
...though I will be quite happy to respond to any questions or comments you have here as well. There is also a SubVersion repository for Artemis at http://gshi.org/svn/artemis/, with some of misfire's recent work, and quite a bit more source from various authors will likely be committed in the near future.

In North America and Europe Sonic Unleashed is exploding on every viable console on the market with a PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 2 version that Japan isn’t getting. Sega of Japan plans to release Sonic: World Adventure (renamed to better fit Sonic’s journey around the Earth and downplay the Werehog thing?) only on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. The PlayStation 2 port will be completed before Sonic: World Adventure launches in Japan so this begs the question why is Sega passing on it? It’s not like Sega Japan is abandoning the PlayStation 2 entirely. Thunderforce VI comes out on Thursday in Japan and unless Sega has anything secretly planned it will be the final PlayStation 2 game published by Sega in the region.
