Hey all, I’m releasing a port of Angband 3.0.6 for the PSP tonight. For those not familiar with the game, it’s similar to the recently released Rogue Clone II, but much deeper (IMO anyways).Screenshots of the PC version of the game are available here, though my version does not look exactly the same. It’s still just as addicting as the PC version however and plays better than I expected on the PSP.Please see the ReadmePSP.txt in the zip file for controls, known issues, disclaimers, etc. The zip includes executables for both 1.0 and 1.5 firmware PSPs as well as the source code. Hope you all enjoy.As a heads up, it takes about half a minute to load the game, but after that things proceed without delays.Feel free to leave bug reports or suggestions in this thread.-abszero

An early alpha version of Scumm VM for the PSP has been released. ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

cwbowron and his chess game again 🙂 Changes:

analysis mode option – when in analysis mode, RTRIGGER will make the next move in the analysis stack. Analysis stack will be moves up to the point of switching into analysis mode. Should also work with stored games.

button change: LTRIGGER goes back only 1 ply. This makesnavigating analysis mode easier.

analysis mode displays last 20 moves (plies)

“Chinese Flashcards”is a chinese learning program for the PSP.

Version 3: audio is non-blocking, so you don’t to wait for it to stop playing to keep going, the audio is compressed on the memory stick so it’s only 4meg instead of 11meg,”Corrupted Data”in PSP launcher avoided, settings file goes in PBP directory instead of root. Ready-to-run 1.5, and source code. If you’re upgrading from release 1 or 2, make sure to delete the old directories first as they have different names and will be wasting a bunch of space.
