Card Speed (Palm OS) tests the Read / Write speed of a PDA with any SD Card. You will be much happier with your PDA / Smartphone if it is responsive. An SD Card that Writes / Reads fast is part of a good experience. Any file movement to and from the Card is affected. Applications that are data intensive, like audio and video, are most affected
Control Tester
Every homebrew app has a story behind it and for the Control Tester v.5 this is developer Johnny McKinney's tale:
"I always go tired of going to play any of my games (mainly Syphon Filter) and noticing something was up with my controls
Control Tester
Johnny McKinney may have been accused of doing some not very nice things on the homebrew front but you can't accuse him of not keeping his promises. Yesterday he promised to update his app called Control Tester v0.5 and today he released v1.0

PAD Tester
A forum member who goes by the moniker "the unique warrior" also came up with his own pad and button tester. He says that he decided to make one in C++ since SuperbatXS's tester was in LUA. The result is PAD Tester, a non-LUA button tester that works with DA 2.71 SE-A.
It works pretty much like the LUA Button Tester
LUA Button Tester and guide
The LUA Button Tester is a piece of homebrew that actually works two ways.

Second, it can be used as a guide for new LUA coders
PSXReality Memory Stick Tester
PSP homebrew developer mavy has just informed us of the release of his new app PSXReality Memory Stick Tester (PSXR-MSTester). Based on MSTest from MIB42 (although, according to mavy, he could only find MIB42's .PBP), this app runs a standard batch of tests to test throughput and standard deviation from a memory stick
Oy vey. It seems our read and write speeds are slowing down today, as we missed this new app mentioned on the Exophase forums by a couple of hours (or a lot... we never got the hang of checking timezones)
Button Tester with LEET Graphics
When Tactical Penguin said, "Best. Homebrew. Ever. If this doesn't make frontpage, I quit QJ," on the PSP Development Forums, we knew we had to do something. Youresam released a rather large file for people to try out for the simple purpose of checking to see if your PSP's buttons work
The New PSP Game Maker (Gamma release)
It seems that there's an on-going friendly competition between two homebrew developers over at QJ Forums. A couple of days ago, Re_AnimAte released a fairly good version of the application known as The PSP Game Maker. In a nut shell, it is a working compiler and tester for Lua games made in C#
