Aliens vs. Predator is a science fiction first-person shooter computer game developed by Rebellion and published by Fox Interactive.

Like the 1994 Alien vs Predator game for the Atari Jaguar, Aliens versus Predator offers three separate campaigns, each playable as a separate species: Alien, Predator, or human Colonial Marine. Each player character has different objectives, abilities, and weapons. The single-player campaign presents the player with a conventional series of levels to progress through that are designed around the abilities of each character.

In order to play this game, data is required from an Aliens vs Predator installation, at present only Aliens vs Predator Gold edition is confirmed to work. In order to play you must:

1. Get data (AVP Gold works) from a previously installed version of game
2. Make all files and folders lower case
3. Copy data into pandoraappdatacom.pawprintgames.avp
4. Launch game

Changes:

1.5.1.4, some minor fixes: – starts fullscreen, can still alt-tab out of it. I stole (and fixed) code from an unmerged NET_WM_FULLSCREEN patch to SDL 1.2! – starts with mouse tracked, can still switch using Pandora ‘select/ctrl’ button – press Pandora logo button to quit

– built with gcc, optimized for OMAP3
– with Notaz SDL, for hardware scaling
– a few free disk images are included with the emulator

– the GP2X BeebEm uses 320×240, some scan lines are lost.
– the sound is a bit choppy sometimes
– virtual keyboard don’t work, not much needed on Pandora
– hard to type some keys in Basic, need a Basic key map / option?

Changes:

ptitSeb ported PPSSPP to the OpenPandora handheld. PPSSPP is an open source project, licensed under the GPL 2.0 (or later).

PPSSPP is a PSP emulator written in C++, and translates PSP CPU instructions directly into optimized x86, x64 and (soon) ARM machine code, using an efficient JIT compiler.

PPSSPP can thus run on quite low-spec hardware, including stronger Android phones and tablets, as long as there’s support for OpenGL ES 2.0.

Changes:

* A bit faster (again, but still not enough)
* A frameskip option (ingame menu). Doesn’t look compatible with “hardware transform”
