Funky Kong is based off the classic barrel-jumping-hammer-bashing arcade game, Donkey-Kong! Except, Funky Kong is a side-scroller unlike the original game. This time around, you’ll have to hurry and make it to the top, but by avoiding any possible danger. That includes; Falling Barrels, Spinning Barrels, Flame Enemies, Flaming Barrels and finish off by a boss battle after a level.

So far, the game is in beta form. It is still very buggy, but is playable.

StrmnNrmn pulled out a new release of Daedalus PSP, a Nintendo 64 emulator for PSP’s.

Release notes:

I’ve just finished packing up R13 and uploading it to sourceforge:

Daedalus PSP R13 for v1.00 Firmware
Daedalus PSP R13 for v1.50+ Firmware
Daedalus PSP R13 Source

The most significant new feature is savestate support. You can now save your progress at any point, via the Pause Menu (accessed through hitting the Select button). Savestates are written out to the memory stick, and consume around a megabyte per slot. You can load up a savestate at any time from the Pause Menu, or via the front end (hit the right shoulder button to swap from the rom list to the savestate list.)

Other than savestates, the most significant change in R13 is a number of optimisations to the dynarec core which should give a 10-20% speedup depending on the title being played. I’ve tested these optimisations as much as I can, but if you find that roms which worked with R12 are now broken, try disabling ‘dynamic recompilation’ and/or ‘dynarec stack optimisation’ from the rom’s preferences screen.

I haven’t looked at compatibility at all in R13, so it’s unlikely that any roms will have started working in R13.

I’m interested to hear your feedback on both of these features. Let me know if you have any problems with savestates, or if you’ve found roms are no longer working in R13. I’ll try and keep on top of the comments pages over the next couple of weeks.

It’s taken a LOT longer to get R13 out than I had hoped. I can’t quite belive the last release was in June! I’m hoping now I’ve got this release out of the door I’ll be able to get back to making small, more frequent releases.

Chilly Willy updated his PSP Doom port:

Changes:

v1.2 – 2007/11/02: Added ability to access the OSK during the game so that strings can be entered. Slowed the OSK by half to make inputting characters easier. TRIANGLE can now be used as BACKSPACE when entering the game save description. Added network support for infrastructure TCP/IP (wireless access points). Also added a selector for 16:9 or 4:3 rendering to the LCD menu; that way you can have “normal” graphics in 480×272 mode. Optimized the rendering for almost twice the frame rate.
