Wow I really wish I could try this, but I have the Darth Vader PSP

A note on Custom Firmware:
If you have a Slim PSP, you cannot install custom Firmware without a Pandora's Battery. A Pandora's Battery can only be made from a PSP that has Custom Firmware. Some people have cut their batteries open and hacked them into Pandora's batteries. This is not possible to do on new batteries.

Basically, if you want Custom Firmware, but have a relatively new PSP, you're screwed.

handicap... No...Your all WRONG.. I will pm you the link on how I did it (TODAY with my NEW god of war psp)
and yes it is possible to do on new batterys, just not sonys EXTRA ones...The one that come with the psp or are not made by sony are moddable... AND you can make a pandora bat without modding the battery, you can do it the software way....

Software way requires you to already have a PSP with Custom FirmWare (CFW).

I've been reading up on PGE Lua and it is 4 times faster then lua player.
I may switch to that later when it comes out of beta.

Right now I'm working on inputs for numbers for the menu.

fixed so far today:
both x and y collision freeze when touching a brick, now it is just x or y.
hitting a brick made you fall, now it doesn't.

Anyone have some good game menu music :S?
any format is fine.

~~both x and y collision freeze when touching a brick, now it is just x or y.~~
scratch that, doesn't work well.

plus pictures!

EDIT: new menu.

(MoA) Shaun · August 02, 2008, 11:27:16 PM

I added a "undo" function (start for now), and made it so screen shots will not override them selves (This will allow me to make the start up menu have sliding screen shots :D).
Fixed a collision issue were I used width instead of length :/
Screen shots save under "ms0:/PSP/PHOTO/Blockland" and creates the directory if it doesn't exist.

Still working on making my awesome menu.
I used that start up song from "mudkip mod" of half life 2 DM (I forgot the actual name of song :X)

I should be finished with blockland portable alpha 2 by 10:00 pm est tomorrow (Then I have band camp again).

also, System.listDirectory() is a bitch >:(

(MoA) Shaun · August 02, 2008, 11:35:53 PM

Heres the screen shot code if you want to add it to your own lua game.

Code: [Select]

function screenshot()
if System.listDirectory("ms0:/PSP/PHOTO/Blockland") == nil then
System.createDirectory("ms0:/PSP/PHOTO/Blockland")
end
local directory = {}
local counter = 1
filelist=System.listDirectory("ms0:/PSP/PHOTO/Blockland")
numfiles=table.getn(filelist)
for k=1,numfiles do
counter = counter + 1
directory[counter] = filelist[k].name
end 
local max = 0
for length = 1,table.getn(directory) do
for length2 = 1,table.getn(directory) do
if directory[length2] == "screenshot"..length..".png" then
max = length
end
end
end
max = max+1
screen:save("ms0:/PSP/PHOTO/Blockland/screenshot"..max..".png")
end

You can have multible size bricks at the same now.
anyone know if something bad will happen from having 1000+ tables?

To do before alpha 2:
1. Finish menu
2. bottom collision (I'm working on making it so after you hit the topside of a brick or walk on it to check if there are any bricks on top (I miss raycasting))
3. Simple sky cam without collision (will raise FPS)
4. brick saving (shouldn't be too hard since I got my screen shot script working)
if I finish the other four in time:
5. blockland importing (I got it somewhat working already)
6. blockland exporting ( Could be a problem with color sets, will think of something)

(MoA) Shaun · August 03, 2008, 11:25:21 AM

I did some math and every 1000 bricks is about 2.4mb of ram, there may be problems with loading more then 4000 bricks on a phat psp.
slim psp should easily get 16k bricks (not all in view of course)

I smell Alpha 2 coming out soon...

Not if I keep on getting distracted off the cursed menus. D:

I got distracted on culling all morning. Going to work on it for another hour then back to menus.

got some pictures too (the number is the camera rotation angle)

(MoA) Shaun · August 03, 2008, 12:41:12 PM

I'm just about to save, then BAM!
:(
I don't even know what caused it.
