A “Game of Life” game by maxthebest for PlayStation Portable.

Changes:

– Added a couple of themes: by pressing Triangle, you can switch from one theme to the other. There are 3 themes for the moment, you can change them by editging the images in the game directory (each cell is 8*8).
– Added 4 brand new patterns: “The Queen Bee Shuttle”, “The Pentadecathlon”, “The Pulsar”, and the “Diehard”, which is special because it entirelyè dies after exactly 130 generations (you can check the generations by pressing L).
– When you press select, the menu pops up, and you can release the select button, which you couldn’t before. It might help you navigate through the menu. To make the menu disapear, just press Circle or select an option.

davex released an unofficial version of the Neo Geo emu MVSPSP with cheat support.

Release notes:

Strictly speaking, since NJ added support to the Universal BIOS (UNIBIOS), MVSPSP has been with cheat support. But UNIBIOS support requires raster effects enabled, which may cause graphical errors and performance issues in some cases.

This Unofficial Work in progress MVSPSP version adds cheat support without requiring UNIBIOS. Also adds support to UNIBIOS version 2.3 if you prefer.

The UNIBIOS 2.3 used must be downloaded from The Universe BIOS Official Homepage (google it), because other UNIBIOS modified won’t be recognized.

Alex the Allegator 4 is a true jump’n’run, just like the old classic ones. Guide Alex through the jungle in order to save his girlfriend Lola from evil humans who want to make a bag of her.

Alex the Allegator 4 is a very small game. It runs in a very low resolution with only four colors and will not provide you with any real time video or 3D effects. Nor will it snare you with a compelling storyline. It’s only a short platform game with a few tricks up it’s sleeve.

Release notes:

Tim “Argh!” Wright released a color edition source and data mod for Alex the Allegator 4. So here is the PSP port of Alex the Allegator 4 Color Edition.

Thanks to the author MK2k himself for the news.
