PSP333 has updated his painting program written in Lua. It was formerly known as PLP.http://dl.qj.net/…

Description: Inspired by the funny Linux game Kolf, PSPGolf is a minigolf game completely rewritten in Lua for the PSP. The”maps”can be drawn in any MS-Paint-like program, which supports the PNG-format and all the”bouncing”from the walls, slowdown in sand, water is calculated”on the fly”while playing. Therefore there is no need for a tile-based editor, because the ability of”painting”maps is much more flexible. Please note, that this is the initial release, and therefore it looks quite”cheap”, so stay tuned for the next releases!http://forums.qj.net/showthread.php?t=37972

Zelurker has released another update to his continuation of NeoCD PSP from YoyoFR. NeoCD is a NeoGeo and NeoGeoCD emulator. Changes:

This fixes a stupid mistake in 0.9 which was breaking many games using the raster interrupt like aof2 at any speed other than 100% and viewpoint intro.

The goal of the game is to reach the highest possible score. Shapes fall from the top of the screen. You can move them sideways and rotate them in order to get the best fit when they reach the bottom. When you manage to complete a horizontal line, it disappears. When screen is full the game is over. The game speeds up whenever the lines are full. Therefore, it’s better to fill as many lines you can at once. That way you can reach higher levels with the same speed.http://elligre.tk/madelman/index.php/gp2x/games/
