Pspsokoban 0.4
Over at the QJ.NET Forums, PSP homebrew developer shadow77340 is letting everybody know about the release of the Pspsokoban homebrew game. This game is a port of mariosokoban, and follows pretty much the same rules as traditional Japanese sokoban – the player’s objective is to push boxes (or blocks) into a designated location within a maze; players are only allowed to move one box at a time. As for the gameplay controls:
- Circle: View stat
- Triangle: Level restart
- R: Return to main menu
- Joytick and pad: Move
Now, in case you’re wondering what the past few tweaks have been as of late:
- Sped up the game
- PSP Clock speed is set to 111mhz during the game, but set to 333Mhz in the menu (for faster loading)
- Add 9 more levels
- EBOOT is now smaller
- Press CIRCLE to display game statistics (number moves, score, levels & characters)
- Press R to save the latest score in data/score/dernier_score.data.
- Be aware, it doesn’t save the best score, but only the last score.
- Home button works now properly
- Added a new menu (by Cloos)
- Sped up level loading
- Joypad is now fully supported
- In the option menu, the last score is displayed
This game will work on 1.00, and other PSP custom firmwares. Make sure to view the bundle’s README for full changelog details, as well as shadow77340‘s planned changes for version 0.5, which will be launching on March 23 – the same date as the PlayStation 3 launch in Europe. This should make for an interesting bit of gaming – especially since it’s been a while wince we’re heard of sokoban-style homebrew games on the PSP.
Additional credits also go to fellow homebrew coder Zx-81, who helped with various technical issues, and helped write up the English translations (originals were in French). Enjoy your download, guys, and don’t forget to thank shadow77340 for the work via the QJ.NET Forums release thread.
