PSP homebrew developer Royale, the mind behind the PSP-Maps app, has released a PSP port of the popular open-source game X-Moto.
Royale says that this release is based on version 0.4.2 of X-Moto, as the latest version uses dependencies not available for the PSP. This release is also still very experimental, but the dev wanted to at least share how it was coming along.
X-Moto-PSP runs, yes, but it does have some issues:
- It is very slow. I did not have the time to profile the game yet, so I don’t know why, but I fear it might be because of the physical engine, so it might be difficult to optimize.
- There is no sound. Since it is not a big downside for this game, I did not investigate on this yet.
- No menus: currently, the menus are crashing the game on the PSP, and anyway there are too big for a 480×272 resolution. So the game is launched directly with the level you choose (like –level X on the PC).
- No network support: you won’t be able to download new levels and upload your high scores…
- Hardcoded controls: you cannot change the buttons configuration for now.
If you wanna give it a go, feel free to download it below.
