3D Virtual Globe v0.51

[wraggster]

News/release from mifki (http://mifki.blogspot.com/2008/12/3d-virtual-globe-for-psp.html)


My virtual globe homebrew application for PSP. Not so many features for now, just explore beautiful places of our planet with 3D terrain and several layers to choose from. Your comments and ideas are welcome.


Hope it's obvious that data is downloaded from Internet on demand and you'll need active WiFi connection. After downloading images will be cached and loaded from memory stick next time so make sure you have enough free space too.

Controls
Arrows - move, L/R - zoom
cross/triangle - tilt, square/circle - rotate
start - menu

Known problems
Not sure how it will work on PSP-1000 (fat) because of less memory available, it may crash. I think next versions will be Slim-only, sorry, I'll have to drop support for older PSPs in order to implement great features I'm planning. Also not that this is still beta version and some problems or crashes may have place.

Hmm, it trys to download more maps, but instead seems to fill up all free available space on the ProDuo instantly, which the PSP then shows as having no space, but I cannot find what files its been allocated to. Deleting the app seems to restore the free disk space again.

It runs very fast, might slow down once it has downloaded textures properly.

This shows massive promise :D Keep up the good work
