Play Infinite Loop on your computer

Want to give the upcoming PSP game, Infinite Loop, a try? Well, you can on your computer through a brand new Flash demo. Watch out! The game is primarily a text adventure game ... in Japanese. Unlike you're proficient in nihongo, you probably won't get much benefit from the demo. Give it a try here. (Note: There is no load screen. You will simply wait a very long time for the demo to download.)

For something everyone can enjoy, you can also download the new Infinite Loop theme for your PSP. It features cute anime girls and ... well, bread. Download it here and install it on your PSP in the folder PSP/THEME.

Monster Hunter 2nd G gets even more downloadable content

It's quickly becoming one of those games whose life gets extended further and further thanks to downloadable content, but we're not complaining because Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G deserves it. Their latest downloadable quest is going up tomorrow. It's called "Challenge Quest 05" and allows hunters to get dressed up in chef outfits (muffin hats and all) and battle against some Dosfango for slabs of meat. Look for this content tomorrow and let us know if you found it most scrumptious!

Six PS1 games hit Japanese PSN

Several PS1 games have hit the Japanese PSN today. Six in total, actually. One of them was the previously announced Metal Gear Solid. It's a pretty diverse set of games, here's the full list:

Atelier Elie
Crash Bash (aka Crash Bandicoot Carnival)
Dezaemon Kids!
Master of Monsters: Disciples of Gaia
Metal Gear Solid
Pro Mahjong Kiwame Plus II

That makes: one tactical espionage thriller in MGS, one RPG in Atelier Elie, a strategy adventure in Master of Monsters, Mahjong Plus II speaks for itself, Crash Bash is a party game, and Dezaemon Kids! is some sort of art title for children. Pretty nice list; however, MGS is top dog this week.

Four new PSN games for Japan

It took forever to translate the names of these new Japanese PSN games, but we finally got them. Recently hitting the PlayStation Network over in the land of the rising sun are four PlayStation classics: Ide Yosuke no Mahjong Kyoshitsu, Baroque Syndrome, Wai Wai Bowling, and Um Jammer Lammy.

Three out of the four games were not released outside Japan; the only one that was seen in the west was Um Jammer Lammy -- a rhythm game spin-off of PaRappa the Rapper. The Ide Yosuke game is yet another Mahjong game, while Wai Wai Bowling is, um, bowling. Lastly, Baroque Syndrome is a prequel to the PS1 RPG Baroque (which is also available on the PSN, at the same time ported to the PS2).

While there's really only one or two titles that are worth getting on that list, it still is quite annoying that the Japanese PS1 game library is way better than ours. When will our library start flooding with more and more PS1 games?

Not a bad week for PC Store content. The American store gets the same two demos as the Europeans have along with a full PSP game, Twisted Metal: Head-On. No doubt a timed cash-in considering the PS2 port was recently released. Here's the full release list:

MLB 08 The Show demo (free)
Patapon demo (free)
Twisted Metal: Head-On full game ($14.99)
Twisted Metal: Head-On Behind the Scenes video 3 (free)
Twisted Metal: Head-On Behind the Scenes video 4 (free)
Twisted Metal: Head-On PSP Wallpaper (free)

Have you started downloading the Patapon demo yet? Why not! Get it started.

Umihara Kawase playable in Flash demo

What is Umihara Kawase? It's a platformer "starring a nineteen year old Japanese school girl of the same name, who has somehow become lost in a world of mutated salt-water and fresh-water creatures." And it's coming to PSP.

Considering a release stateside is unlikely, you can try out the Bionic Commando-styled gameplay by playing the online Flash demo. Use the NUMPAD to move around, and press Enter when you want to swing around. If you enjoy it, you may want to consider importing it.

Square Enix is offering two new themes for your PSP, in celebration of today's release of the PSP-exclusive remake: Star Ocean: The First Departure. Not only is the game available today, but a new limited edition version of the system. Will the Japanese gaming populace flock to it just as they did the Crisis Core bundle? We'll wait and see.

To download the themes, click the following links:
Star Ocean First Departure official theme 1
Star Ocean First Departure official theme 2

Save it to PSP/THEME on your Memory Stick. Then, go to Settings -> Theme Settings to change your system's theme.

Media Manager software now free to download

Sony is offering their PSP Media Manager software ... FOR FREE. This nifty bit of code allows you to easily transfer files, such as photos, music and videos to your PSP. Most readers of PSP Fanboy should already know how to use PSP's file system, but for those that are new to the system, this is a definite must-have. You'll have to download the program from the Japanese site, but rest assured -- as Kotaku found out, the program will run in English.

A Pro version is also available for those that want more. Who thinks that Sony should bundle this kind of software with every PSP? We certainly do. Sony should make it easy to get the most out of their hardware.

The official Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida theme

Filed under: Downloads, Yuusha

We love this brand new official theme created for the anti-hero RPG, Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida. The retro pixelated look for the icons are great, and a lot of character to the standard PSP XMB. A wallpaper is also included with the theme, but we wanted to focus on the great pixel design.

To download the theme, click here. To install it to your PSP, connect your PSP via USB. Then, go to the PSP folder. Create a THEME sub-folder and copy the file there.

The Wipeout Pulse European website is open, and it is filled with a ton of goodies to download, such as screensavers (for both Mac and PC) and wallpapers (for your PSP and computer). Most exciting are the placeholders for the upcoming game's expansion packs. There are four packs planned, it appears, all adding new tracks to what looks like an already-impressive game.

[Thanks, Damian!]

Official theme creator released

Posted Sep 28th 2007 11:00PM by Andrew Yoon
Filed under: Downloads

Sony has released a tiny application that allows you to create your own themes. Although the instructions provided on the page are in Japanese, the program actually runs in English. It's not a very intuitive GUI, but it'll allow theme artists-to-be the tools they need to get started. Granted, it's a lot of work -- there are a surprising number of buttons on an XMB menu.

Get to work on your theme -- we'll love to see your creations. Who knows? Maybe we'll give away a prize for the best one ...

[Thanks to everyone that sent this in!]

[Update: A great tutorial has been made by reader Jay Lee. Check it out!]

Unfortunately, we've distributed as many downloads of the soundtrack as we could. We didn't expect this to be such a huge success! Thanks for checking out PSP Fanboy and remember ... PaRappa the Rapper for PSP is now available in stores.

PSP attempts iPhone-esque makeover

Portals are quite popular on PSP systems. They utilize the system's internet browser to allow easy access to internet applications, such as mail clients and online messengers. The latest takes the design of Apple's popular iPhone, and attempts to transplant it to the PSP. While it certainly looks sleek, the vertical alignment makes the system awkward. Still, easy to follow instructions and a great self-installer makes this one of the better portals to pursue.

Check it out here.
