ptitSeb ported PPSSPP to the OpenPandora handheld. PPSSPP is an open source project, licensed under the GPL 2.0 (or later).

PPSSPP is a PSP emulator written in C++, and translates PSP CPU instructions directly into optimized x86, x64 and (soon) ARM machine code, using an efficient JIT compiler. PPSSPP can thus run on quite low-spec hardware, including stronger Android phones and tablets, as long as there’s support for OpenGL ES 2.0.

Changes:

* In sync with git sources
* fixes for PowerVR, enjoy more compatibility.

Primrose‘s gameplay is deceptively simple: You’re given random pairs of colored tiles that you must place on a 7×7 grid. When you surround a group of one color with another color, the surrounded group clears, scoring points. The surrounding tiles flip to the color of the tiles that were cleared. When tiles flip color, chain reactions are possible. Larger groups and longer chain reactions are awarded more points. As the game progresses, more colors are added to the pool, making the grid more and more constrained. Ported to Pandora by mcobit.

Old school chase action game ‘A7Xpg‘ by Kenta Cho, ported to Pandora by M-HT.

Control your ship and gather golds. The ship accelerates while holding the boost button. A boost power runs out about 1.5 seconds, so you have to push the boost button again to maintain the speed.

The gauge at the right-down corner is the power gauge. The power increases when you take a gold at high speed. When the power gauge becomes full, your ship becomes invincible for a while. Attack enemies and earn the bonus score.

Changes:

* added nubs support
* minor fix: all 4 button (A, Y, X, B) can be used as Boost
