Pre-Installation!
Step1: Back-Up your micro-sd card!
Step2: Make a new folder on the root of the card called “Homebrew”
Step3: Put homebrew into the “Homebrew” folder.
Step4: Do the the following for what is suited to you to use with the below instructions.

Installation for Regular Users
Take the HWOS folder and put it on the root of your cart. Thats it. Make sure everything copies over though. Then navigate to it and boot “HW_OS2.nds” from inside the folder. If for some reason the updater fails or it no longer works, just use “RecoveryMode.nds” to update it again.

Installation for R4 Users
Do the same thing as you would for regular users, but this time copy the “bootme.nds” and “bootme.txt” to the root of the card and boot that.

Installation for R4 Users with autoboot OS feature
Do the same as you would for R4 users, but this time take the “_DS_MENU.DAT” and copy it to the root of the card. This will over ride your old one so make a back up.

Your goal is to escape, to dodge some asteroids to join your planet: It seems the Earth because you recolt a lot of important information about the possibility of traces of water in an unknown planet. For this, use the joystick (or the D-pad) to move your spaceship and if you have enough munitions you can press cross to send asteroids touched in a black hole.

Ragdoll cannon is a PSP clone of the flash game with the same name.

Shoot the ragdoll guy from the cannon. Hit the target to go to the next level. Try to make as little shots as possible, like in golf. When new levels are unlock in campaign mode, you can replay them in “play” mode. Levels are lua scripts so new levels can be make easier.

Changes:

– now levels can be make with xml files
– 13 levels added (11 in “campaign” mode and 2 in “play” mode)
