Okay, I guess I should go ahead and show off the ColecoVision project that’s had me grumbling about the TMS9918 lately.

Yes, the text is just stupid engrish filler right now. I’ve been mostly working on the map stuff so far. My next plan is to try to get items working. Thanks to the limitations of the TMS9918, items will probably have to replace the entire map tile that they’re on, since I’ve used three sprites (actually four, but the fourth wasn’t needed) just for the wizard at the middle of the screen.

The house graphics were the most recent thing I did. I used to have”better”looking river tiles, but then I looked at a screen dump I had of a FF1 town and realized it was simpler to just make the river a full tile wide. It helped a lot with the 2-color limitation, and with the bridges, too.

Don’t anyone get your hopes up on seeing this finished any time soon. There’s a LOT of work involved in getting one of these things together.

When running on MESS, for some reason the game graphics will sometimes glitch. One character cell of the border lines will get the wrong color table information, and sometimes it won’t draw half of a tile. I’ve never seen these glitches happen on the real hardware.

You can zoom in and out using the dpad up and down. Displayed on the cube is the x,y,z, and zoom values. If you press X, the stuff displayed on the cube will change to battery info. and back.

The PSP Trainer for”Liberty City Stories”has been updated. Release notes:

v0.3 release notes:While you have a vehicle spawn line selected, just press the last button of the cheat code, either CIRCLE or L1, to spawn things. Check the instructions at the bottom of the screen for which button to press. CheatDevice copies the rest of the cheat into the button history buffer to trick the game into thinking you entered the whole cheat.Screenshot saves a BMP of the screen to the /PSP/PHOTO directory where you can view it from the PSP’s photo viewer. The files are numbered sequentially. The numbering starts over at 1 again when you restart CheatDevice, so be aware it’ll be overwriting your previous screenshots. The screens were coming out much too dark originally, so I added an automatic brightness adjustment.To take a picture, go to Screenshot and press X twice quickly and carefully. You may have to press it a third time if it doesn’t trigger. I needed a trigger that you wouldn’t accidently hit easily, but also wouldn’t use a button that would reset the camera or make you jump or move orchange anything on the screen, which most of them do. I tried to slow down the game as much as possible while it’s copying the screen, but you still need to hold still to keep from messing up the snapshot.You can edit the colors of the car you’re driving. The stripe color only applies if the car has a stripe or two tone second color. Special vehicles like taxis and gang cars that do not change colors when resprayed can not have their colors changed.Toni was never as good with motorcycles as CJ. He just falls off too easily to have any fun. Problem solved.Thanks to:Lloyd for help with finding car colors.J?mie Blanc for finding car speed at offset 0x0124.GFCC for the Vice City never fall off bike cheat, it was instructive.ADePSP for testing.

IchigoKurosaki has updated Deflect. Release notes:

This release was meant to feel more like a game than an example. I have added a Health bar that will gain once you deflect the ball and lower if you miss the ball. I have also added random ball movement and smoother paddle movement. The point of the game is to deflect the ball and not to drain your health bar.

This Version

Random Ball Movement

Smoother Paddle Movement

Health Bar

Game Over Screen

Upcoming Versions

Multi Player Game

Music Selection
