I’ve progressed a bit further in the RPG I’ve been making. The new things I’ve added are NPCs with basic dialogue, a basic battle system, and a few bug fixes. I have yet to find someone to make sprites for the game, but when I do, I’ll release a small demo. I would really like suggestions and feedback

Image provided by: jsharradjsharrad has released clone of MinerVGA for the PSP called MinerPSP. Here are his release notes:

Started working on a clone of an old dos game called MinerVGA, released as public domain in like 1988. Haven’t got much at the moment, below is a screenshot and a very alpha test eboot where you can control the miner, clear the ore (they spawn in same spot every game atm) and walk pretty much anywhere on the screen, even through the road. 😛

Snaff has released a test release of Vice2x. This is a port of VICE to the GP2x. Currently there’s no UI, you have to edit the startup script to specify what you want to load.

VICE is more accurate than Frodo so many more things will work, but its also much more CPU hungry – when Snaff ported it to the GP32 it was way too slow and he had to abandon it. Happily though Vice2x is already quite playable on the GP2X. Cauldron 2 and Mayhem in Monsterland are confirmed to work.
