News from Torch:

What does Hold+ do when the switch is enabled?

* Switches off the LCD backlight.
* Switches off the actual LCD screen. (This is important because the backlight and actual screen are two different things. You can have an image being displayed on the screen while the backlight is switched off, such that you can see the image if you use a flashlight. You can also have the screen switched off while the backlight still illuminates the powered off screen.)
* Underclocks the CPU to 61MHz (Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitary values will result in the CPU simply running at the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 61MHz.)
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.

PSPCAP32 is an Amstrad CPC emulator based upon Caprice32.

Changes:

– Bug fix in CRTC emulation (games such as Prehistorik II just couldn’t be launched)
– Two drives (A & B) are now supported, but only drive A can be used to automatically start a game.
It might be useful with symbOS to put the OS disk on drive ‘A:’ and application disk on ‘B:’

This is a game based on the game “four-square” played all over the world. If the ball goes to your square, you have to hit it so it first bounces in your square and then in someone else’s. If you make a mistake, you are out, everyone who was in a lower square moves up, and a new person enters the game in the lowest square (on the bottom-left). The highest square (top-left) is the king square, and if you make a mistake here, you only move to the lowest square, instead of going out.

You are the blue player. You earn points for staying in and playing fast shots. You earn double points when you are in the highest two squares. When you go out, your game ends.

Changes:

v2: Added highscores and smashing.
