Gendal comes up with an improved version of abzero’s Angband port for the PSP again. Angband is a BBS style looking RPG game. Changes:

v0.4 (07/21/2005)

Loading and saving should be much faster now, as well as responsiveness in the help system [Gendal]

Removed overclock during loading, no longer necessary with general speed improvements [Gendal]

Removed all fixed path’s in code. Should now be possible to rename directory to whatever you please. Note older versions are unable to operate inanything other than an”Angband”directory [Gendal]

PSP bmp screen dump will now ask for a filename. Loading screendumps will not work however. [Gendal]

If an error causes Angband to call it’s quit function, pause and let the user see the error, as well as exit more gracefully. [Gendal]

Fixed local mktime implementation which would sometimes result in regenerating the template files when it wasn’t really necessary. [Gendal]

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! Beta 3 for the PSP is out now…http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=2550

The demo uses all 4 layers, parallax-scrolling, dynamic-tile-reloading any heavy tileanimation, plus a few SpecialFX like rain and a rainbow effect. The ZIP archive contains both, ROM and sourcecode!http://www.console-dev.de/

Gendal has released an update for his PSP game Angband, With those included notes :

This is just the eboot files for 1.5 in their respective directories. It should include Abszero’s screenshot function I left out earlier and it doesn’t overclock the cpu now. Abszero is pretty busy atm so not sure when a real release will come out so if you are adventerous you can try this out. I suck at packaging things up and getting them ready for mass consumption, so be warned =p
