PSP Chess v0.21 (PSP Game)

Regular as usual, another update of PSP Chess. Changes:

cleaned up evaluation code a bit – easier to understand what’s going on. If anyone wants to write up another evalation function for a new personality, feel free to do so and send me the code. I would like to have selectable opponents in the game. (if you modifiy anything outside of evaluate() please use different function names so that I can drop it in without name conflicts)

  • passed pawn weights
  • removed clear tables options
  • opening book changes (probability of move proportionate to frequency) – better opening book utilization
  • removed load book key and menu option
  • added book loading to reset game

    MikMod (PSP Application)

    Jim ported MikMod a program which plays various module formats over to the PSP. Thanks to self0 for the news. Author notes:

    I’ve ported MikMod module player V3.0.3 to PSP. I think this about the last version released before the player GUI was split from the actual player, c1999. I can’t find any current maintainer to submit changes to. It will play most MOD, XM, IT, S3M, STM, MTM, 669, FAR, DSM, MED, ULT and UNI tracker files (while other things are happening). An example app is included. I built it with cygwin and beta 1.0 SDK. The modules I used are hardcoded in the source.
