Release notes:

Just a little demo of the Jelly Physics library by Walaber, ported to PSP by Drakon.

Although only a demo, there should be some improvement to come. Thanks to Drakon & Slasher for giving me some tips regarding the Jelly physics library.

Torch has updated Hold Plus, it’s a Battery Saver Plugin for PlayStation Portable.

Changes:

Fixed a problem caused by a faulty Hold switch in some PSPs. This made the CPU remain underclocked even after turning off the Hold switch.

The problem is the Hold switch doesn’t consistently return a pressed state. It sometimes rapidly fluctuates between an Off and On signal. If this fluctuation occurs within one iteration of the main program loop, it causes problems. Its not humanly possible to toggle the Hold switch so fast, but a loose connection can 😛

Powernoid is a Breakout clone by Art.

Release notes:

This is one of the few GAME programs I have written, and by far my favourite. Powernoid V1 was written in less than two days. I always loved a particular Breakout clone that I played on the Amiga CD32, and that is the public Domain game that I found on a magazine cover CD which inspired this PSP Breakout/Arkanoid clone.

The sort of powerups in this game is sort of what I had in mind for “Power Pong”, a game I released way back, but I didn’t really implement any, so it remains an ordinary Pong game with pretty graphics.

iR Shell byAhMan is a shell replacement for PSP.

Changes:

New Features for PSP Slim:
– Added support to homebrews that are built with the option PSP_LARGE_MEMORY, that is, to use the extra slim memory. When running these homebrews under iR Shell, they will have access to another 26MB slim RAM. Pls note 2MB of slim RAM is reserved for iR Shell.
– Enhance the HTML Viewer (originally developed by Dark_AleX) to use the extra slim memory. These should help to reduce “Not enough memory” message when accessing larger web contents. The HTML Viewer can be accessed via predefined homebrew #1 icon.

Bug Fixes:
– Some homebrews weren’t correctly recognized by iR Shell and application names were displayed as garbage.
– When setting np9660 mode in iR Configurator, some homebrews failed to launch.
– Launching PS1 games via popsloader wasn’t working properly.
– Copying a large file from ms0: to nethost0: will crash the system.

Poustak released Blobby Volley for PlayStation Portable.

Release notes:

I have completely rewritten the code and can play against an AI. The AI is not very strong but should provide some difficulties for people who have never played on a PC Blobby Volley.
