Homebrew developer Uberjack has released a maintenance update to fMSX, an MSX series emulator for the PSP that supports both MSX and MSX2 cartridge files.

Previous versions of the emulator contained two mislabeled configuration settings. In the updated release, both MSX Music and MSX Audio now correctly refer to FMPAC/YM2413 and Y8950, respectively. As such, the author notes that users should make sure that MSX Music is enabled if FMPAC-based titles were previously freezing.

WiiWare has been out in the states for a couple weeks now and those who frequently download Wii content are already lamenting about the lack of internal storage space. In a recent interview, Tom Prata, senior director of product development over at Nintendo of America, was asked if the company had a solution in the works to remedy these woes. His response?

Consumers have the option of either deleting the game and downloading it again for no additional Wii Points, or transferring the game from Wii to external SD memory card.

Keeping true to its promised May release date, the Ninja Gaiden II demo was released on the Xbox Live Marketplace today — but only in Japan.
