As pre-announced today morning, the author of PSP Weather released v1.05 with the following changes and fixes:
pspWeather v1.05 released! Source code is also included as promised (sorry it’s nothing special, looks sloppy).
It’s been brought to my attention that using menu to exit sometimes doesn’t work. Please use the ‘O’ button to exit the weather application until I pinpoint the problem. Menu button disabled in 1.05.
Do not rename the folders for pspWeather. It will not read the config file if you do so, this will be also looked at in a later time. Sorry about the inconvenience
Sorry for the extremely plain website, I’ll make something nicer later

Image provided by: PeterPeter sent me”Knot”which is: (author’s words now:)
This demo uses mode 1 and shows a flatshaded rotating knot with about 250 faces. It uses some fake lighting (triangle z-depth multiplied with some magicnumber used as color) and Z-Sorting. The glow at the bottom is achieved with an alphablended object. The 3D object is rendered first into an offscreen buffer, gets then converted into a tileset and directly stored in videoram. Everything is written in C. Hold -A- button for some special fx, heh. Tested with no$gba and on hardware.
