Playstation Portable News
danzel has updated his IRC and Telnet client for the PSP.
Changes:
Did some additions to get connecting to cygwins telnetd working. Some big changes to the renderer, now it is called directly instead of with message passing. This gives some big speed ups (libcaca mplayer is almost compeletely smooth at default speed). I was hoping to hold this for the next version, but as my CVS server machine has died I’m including it now. This may lead to a crash as I haven’t thread safed it yet, but malloc/free is called much less, so there shouldnt be crashes related to that anymore.

Another port of Quake for the PSP has been released by Peter Mackay.
Thanks to psp-news for the news.
Release notes:
This is a port of id Software’s Quake to the PSP. There’s already an excellent port out there by PacManFan, but I wanted to code something for the PSP and it was a good project. I also wanted to port from the original id source, instead of the PocketQuake source.

StereoMike has been hacking away at the source of Doom PSP and added a lot of new features.
Changelog:
Music now works fineUses samples from the opensource freepats.opensrc.org Needs these placed in the inst directory. This is included in the package. The library libtimidity that is used is included with full src for others to add midi music. Just take a look i_sound.c in the doom src for an example of using it. -Added Selection of PWAD to load in addition to the main (I)WAD. PWADS should be put in a directory below the WAD directory for example PSP/GAME/DoomPSP PSP/GAME/DoomPSP/WADS –put the main wads here PSP/GAME/DoomPSP/WADS/PWADS –put the PWADS here Select with triangle. Can also view txt-files, scroll with Square button.
Can now load IWADs that are not named correctly. Just assumes that it’s a Doom 2 wad. This makes for example DUKENUKEM.WAD load and run without having to rename it to DOOM2.WAD
Compiled against latest PSPSDK
Changed key usage to cross for selection in wad list and circle to go back.
Changed exit screen to say”press x to exit”instead of”press y to exit”
Fixed going back one directory by using circle button.
Rearranged a bit in the code.
