Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it allows you to run 68k MacOS software on your computer, even if you are using a different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II. ChaosKnight ported Basilisk II over to the PSP. The download is available in the PS2dev.org release threat.http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=3741http://basiliskpsp.blogspot.com/

I just can’t hold myself back but there are a few things which have to be said right now.Recently the PSP and now the DS are affected by malicious programs, which are able to break your handhelds. The sense of this action is just right beyond my understanding and the understanding of most developers I know. People who are new to homebrew might be tricked to run a program, which will destroy their hard paid off system. Not everyone can afford a new one – and it’s not clever to trick new people into running code which is really doing bad things. Many people will get a wrong opinion about homebrew software and this is what i don’t want.The PSP is affected in two ways:

ReboNDS is a puzzle/action game in which you have to fill a playgound area isolating balls. To reach the goal, you have to draw horizontal or vertical lines. Any closed area without ball inside it will be automatically filled. Hence, this game is another version of the various X-bounce, K-Bounce, Win-Bounce, and so on… Some of the graphics wre created from scratch, some others use parts of icons from the Linux world. Relase notes:

Currently, highscores are again not recorder and microphone is not yet available. However, some sounds have been added and numerous bugs have been fixed.

This application was written so a File Manager could be kept in a non-executable area of the memory stick and launced externally using a 4-digit pass key. That way you can keep certain images/music hidden from friends/family and view at your leisure. Another use may be to keep rename/copy/delete commands away from very young users who may be randomly pressing buttons on your psp.
