The Grey Matter modified his”Bejeweled”clone after some copyright issues… and here is”Polygon”.

1)for some of you it might seem that there aren’t many changes, and while this is is true , it’s mostly because most of the changes are in the infra-structure. these changes will allow me me to add more features faster, and shorten the time between the releases.2) the puzzle game type is a bit laggy, i’m trying to find a way to solve it without overclocking the CPU.3) in the next release — the long awaited jukebox.- sprite effects.- better fonts.- maybe a new graphic theme.4) and last but not least – i would like to thank to Steve Bisson for creating the audio tracks for this release. in this version there is only one background track. in the next releases i promise to include them all as part of the jukebox!thank you Steve, i hope there will be more great people like you in the homebrew scene.

Text taken from it’s original post at PS2dev.org. Thanks to wraggster for the news.

Hello folks… Using various pieces of code/art from many people (VBA Emu browser, pspsdk samples, pochi style backgrounds [http://pochistyle.pspwire.net/]), I wrote for myself a tiny file browser to : – Browse the memory stick – Enable the USB connection without exiting the tool (and so update the files) – Run 90% of the homebrew apps (emus, games, tools… located on the memory stick) available on the psp directly from the tool (I hate all those slow icons from the PSP OS + %, ~1 directory names, I prefer one then a browser 😉 ) As it is a”private”tool, it is not very nice, not very powerful, not very allwhatyouwant, but really saves time for me 😀 So feel free to use it…. the code is pspsdk compliant and available on request if somebody wants to improve it, fix bugs (home :D)… Keys : X : select, run O : cancel ^ : dir up R1 : USB on/off Home : direct exit 😀 the callback makes me mad…

abszero has updated his port of Angband for the PSP. Changes:

Fixed the slow loading. Now loads in just a second or two unless you delete certain files and it has to recreate them. [Gendal]

Expanded the view to be 80×33 instead of 80×25. Note: If you continue a character from v0.1 or 0.2, your town will still be the old size. The next time you start a character the town will be larger [Gendal]

The bottom line of the display is now reserved for the battery meter and the revamped macro interface. [abszero]

The macro ‘stars’ have been flattened to fit into a single line. They still behave the same way, just the five entries are all in a row. It’s a little less intuitive at first, but the macro commands are intended to be short enough to memorize anyway. [abszero]

For the time being, SELECT is mapped to ‘*’ (cycle through targets) and START is mapped to ‘t’ (choose target) [abszero]

Font changes (new PSP buttons) and additions (arrow keys) [abszero]

Code cleanup and commenting [abszero]http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=7856
