In Epic FreeFall you have to fall down to prevent yourself from getting crushed at the top of the screen. Different obstacles bar your way, so you have to be quick in order to find a safe route down before it is too late. This game is all about getting the highest score. There is no end to the level, try to survive as long as possible. Also included is a two-player mode where two people can compete on the same console.

intraFont is a bitmap font library for PSP using the PSP’s internal font (firmware pgf files).

Changes:

added support for Chinese (gb3s1518.bwfon): now all of the PSPs internal fonts are supported! (thanks to Tong for his help)
added libccc (my Character Code Conversion library) for string parsing/conversion:
it currrently supports decoding of UTF-8 and the following codepages: CP437 (US), CP850 (Multilingual Latin I), CP866 (Russian), CP932 (Japanese Shift-JIS), CP936 (Simplified Chinese GBK), CP949 (Korean), CP950 (Traditional Chinese Big5), CP1251 (Cyrillic) and CP1252 (Latin I)
it’s required by intraFont 0.30+ (simply add libccc.o to the OBJS list in your makefile)
if you don’t need any codepages: add -DLIBCCC_NO_CP to the CFLAGS in your makefile, which saves around 140kB of size/memory.
finally, it can be used independantly from intraFont for your own character conversion needs

Some new UMDs are detecting files in the ms0:/seplugins and ms0:/iso folders and causing problems, even deleting files from these folders. This plugin will hide these folders in GAME mode so they can’t be accessed.

Changes:

– It does not activate in Homebrew.
