Can anyone confirm whether it works on 2.0? it looks awesome!

[SamuraiX]

I highly doubt this will be 2.0 compatible until I have completely removed all traces of SDL code. Looking at how SDL is supported/implemented on psp it requires Kernel mode. So once SDL has been removed, I will post 2.0 compatible.


Update... It seems people have been able to run this on 2.0 and up. Maybe a few tweaks to the eLoader configuration file is needed?

Thanks - can't say fairer than that! Like I say it looks awesome, going to try it out with my xbox in the meantime, though was a little confused as to where to get the bor files - the ps2 version is cd image but can I rip it from that?

[SamuraiX]

You can use any pack that was designed for the BOR engine (to the best of my knowledge). That means PC, dreamcast, ps2, gp32 and xbox.

I had good luck with the AVP file from this site. It's the only one i've tried. Get ready to Button Mash! :D http://aliusweb.dyndns.org/bor.html

This are great news! I recently started working on my BOR game again. We are going to release a new demo soon.

[wraggster]

Theres some Beats of Rage Mods here --> http://www.dcemu.co.uk/dreamcastbeatsofrage.php

It's good to see this is being worked on again...so far all I can say is that it looks as if it's running smoother...Any chance the loading times can be tweaked down? Keep up the good clean work, I'm cheering for ya.

Hey guys i downloaded the bor.pak and I put MS:/PSP/GAME/BOR withe eboot.pbp

The game boots up

Then exit with a black screen and says something about fonts...

[jangosolo]

I can get it to load the game but it crashes when you start the game, looks awesome though

I am using 2.0 with the 1.0 eboot

[J-Kwon]

I forgot to mention that I'm on 1.5

I downloaded the pc BOR pack

It just crashes(back to the menu), Ive tried again and again

Any advice :)

[SamuraiX]

In the game engine It requires that all fonts are there. I could be more easy on requirements but if the official DOS source code uses it then I think we should use it as well. I could always try and see if there are any negative effects if I make it optional. List the location you downloaded the game from.

This is looking good. I´ll have to try some of those mods. The thing i would most like to see improved if possible is the load times. Anyway thanks for the update.

for some reason I think people with 2.0 psps need to try no less than 2 methods with every piece of homebrew before giving up thinking they don't work. The first one is obvious... try the 1.0 eboot. If there is only a 1.5 eboot, pspbrew can turn it into a 1.0 eboot for you. When that doesn't work, you should extract the 1.5 folders DIRECTLY to the PSP memory stick SEPARATELY. First extract the regular forder, then the % folder AFTERWARDS. I don't know why it makes a difference, but I just fixed my NesterJ with that method...

this sure does look better in widescreen mode than the original version did.
after playing the Zodiac version full screen it was a bit annoying to have a poxy window on psp and regular crashes.
still it looks and play pretty darn good.
all i need to do is find my bor mods now blinkin disc could be anywhere. :(

I'll try that later on - is this something you have had success with? I can launch the games,go through the menus and start playing but after about 3 secs it locks up

Got some of them working on the xbox though - very good!

[Zaine]

[J-Kwon]

[JTHM Z?]
