[BelmontSlayer]

I love you deniska!

[Rbman]

This is awesome thank you so much, any chance for this to be compiled to 3.XX? I don't have a slim but I'm trying to get all my fav apps in 3.XX kernel. thanks again

[siulmagic]

amazing i was paciantly wating for this to be released

good job

[havoc_012]

never heard of this, but it looks pretty cool

thanks a lot deniska.

[philiphili]

Deniska, you are number One. Thanks a lot. Great work and great game.

[Aryn]

For the first released version this game is pretty smooth. I have not found a glitch in the game so far and it is still fun to play even by today's standards.
Thanks a lot, Densika.

[arlaken]

Dude, youre the bomb, I've spent so much time in this game in the days of the 486 (and beyond...) still playing it on DOSBOX.

I'm having trouble running it though. It says game could not be started instead of the black screen you metnionned. Tried all of the alternate eboots.

I am currently running M-33 3.71-3 on my fat psp in 1.50 Kernel mode. Tyrian folder in GAME150. Tried changing ISO modes.

Thanks a lot.

[titch.ryan]

looks great

[hiddensphinx]

does not work on mine..tried all eboots in PSP/GAME340 folder :?

JAP PSP running 3.40OE-A

[MK2k]

Great idea to port that game, really enjoying.

[aminkr]

thanx!! this game doesnt jus look great!

the game is awesome!!

[helmutkemper]

which the programs necessary to develop for psp?

[E.J.]

Time to play!

[NightRaven]

Cool thanks for another port Deniska!:thumbup: been watching for this. :D

[chris-007]

Nice!

Maybe the aspect ratio can be switched in a future version?

Vsync seems to be disabled.

The standard eboot only shows a black screen with one white pixel on the top left.
The alternate eboot 1 is identical to the standard eboot file (bit by bit).
Alternate eboot 2 is working :)

Using 3.40 OE-A firmware on a (probably) TA-79 board.

[DarthPaul]

Oh yes baby! Yes! Give it to me!

[Bestwick]

An excellent port! Any chance of support for "Wild" detail support (usually accessed by pressing "w" over the detail setting in the pause menu)?

[cyberscorpi0]

Awesome! I will give this a try when I get home tonight.

Thanks

[Boots Megamix]

First of all, I just want to say I love you for doing this.

Second, I need to report a crash. I was on "Stargate" level in Episode 3 and right as soon as the boss came, I got a blue screen that reads like this:

"I regret to inform you your psp has just crashed"

Exception details:
Exception - Bus error (data)
EPC - 0890B20
CAUSE - 1000001C
STATUS - 60008613
BadVAddr - 00000000
zr: 00000000 at: 089B0000 v0: 00000004 v1: 00000000
a0: 08BBD280 a1: 0038350 a2: 00000000

[... ... bunch of other numbers, if they're important I'll list them.]

The offending routine may be identified with
psp-addr2line -e target.elf -f -C 0x890b2d0 0x0 0x890b290"


This was using EBOOT 2

Also, another issue I found is that the you can't scroll down when reading the data cubes. It just shows whatever is on the first page and that's it.

Thanks again

[yuriks]

That's a known issue with our code.

[psp411]

ive been looking for this kind of game for the psp(dont like gradius=P)
Looks crisp... Im gonna keep it as a permanent on my memorystick :D :cool:

[Anger]

eboot 1 - white pixel then crash to xmb.
eboot 2 - success.

a VERY hard game, but still absolutely amazing. well done porting it over. :) :thumbup:

[deniska]

Also, another issue I found is that the you can't scroll down when reading the data cubes. It just shows whatever is on the first page and that's it.

Thanks again
This ine is fixed already in my local version..
I'll post it once I correct a few other things..

[deniska]

An excellent port! Any chance of support for "Wild" detail support (usually accessed by pressing "w" over the detail setting in the pause menu)?
This will be supported eventually once OSK is implemented.. not sure if psp will have enough cpu power to support it at full speed though...

[yuriks]

Btw, about the STARGATE crash issue. Can anyone tell me if it always happens, and when, and if you need anything specific to reproduce it?

[deniska]

normally I could have debugged iut using the info from the blue screen of death.. but I already recompiled the executables. so there is not way to trace it back the the exact line..
I'll try to rebuild it again based on the attached source and see if it brings up anything.. but it is a long shot..

[Boots Megamix]

Btw, about the STARGATE crash issue. Can anyone tell me if it always happens, and when, and if you need anything specific to reproduce it?

I did it twice just to confirm that it wasn't a fluke or anything, but there was nothing specific going on, it was just right before the boss is supposed to come, it says **Large mass detected ahead**, then goes to blue screen.

[deletethisaccount]

which revision is OpenTyrianPSP based off of?

edit: this bug should be fixed as of OpenTyrian revision 625

[NightRaven]

Two questions:

1. Can you fix the fullscreen option in the menu to where it doesnt require closing\restarting the game? Not really needed the option works and thats what matters, to me at least :D.

2. When its full screen and theres a bunch of stuff going on on-screen there is a little bit of slowdown. Any way to fix this or is it as fast as its gonna get?

Thanks again for the very nice port :) :D

[deniska]

Alternatively, you can select less detailed mode in in-game setup menu (select)

I checked out the source on friday morning.. don't recall the revision though...

[Pawell]

thx for this game

alter. Eboot 1 works perfectly on my 3,40 OE A'

thx again ... I love this game

:thumbup:

[anms]

Great!! Thanks a lot deniska.

Could you make sure that BGM can be replaced to an optional ogg file if it exists?

[Thargalt18]

Thanks a lot :)
Will it work without the eloader ? on slim ?

[deniska]

I did it twice just to confirm that it wasn't a fluke or anything, but there was nothing specific going on, it was just right before the boss is supposed to come, it says **Large mass detected ahead**, then goes to blue screen.
I was able to replicate it too.. it seems that there is a problem with following code chunk:
loudness.c: void JE_multiSamplePlay


for ( ex = 0; ex < SAMPLE_SCALING; ex++)
{
channel_buffer[chan][(i * SAMPLE_SCALING) + ex] = ((SAMPLE_TYPE) ((Sint8) buffer[i]) << 8);
}

[deniska]

Thanks a lot :)
Will it work without the eloader ? on slim ?
I am sure it will.. the reason I did not release 3.xx kernel version is because of compatibility..
All PSP users should be able to run 1.0 kernel versions (through some tricks) while not all psp users can run 3.xx kernel version..

[The_It]

OMG THANK YOU... i have been waiting for this moment since I got a PSP! You don't know how happy this makes me XD

Very nice :thumbup:
It runs very well on my PSP Slim 3.71 M33-3 under eLoader v1.000 from Team Noobs :)

I just downloaded, unrared and tossed the Tyrian folder into PSP/GAME and ran E-Boot and selected Tyrian an Presto ;)

just making sure you're patching in the latest revisions and bugfixes ;)

Edit: Disregard this entire post. It won't work if you try running it from under iRshell thru eLoader :P


PDG, how did you make it work?

I did all the same things, ran eLoader 1.0000, then the Tyrian folder thru it...

All it does it freeze on a black screen, only taking the battery out helps. Tried all of the alternate eboots also.

I believe I have spotted the same sort of bug. It may be the same one but it also saved the coordinates of the bug. I'll post them here they may help.

Are you still talking about Stargate? Because that was fixed as of revision 625, and the error was in tyrian2.c

Assuming you didn't find a completely different bug at the same level too.

[deniska]

well, my exception handler points to the highlighted line.. so this seems to be a different bug.. I'll see if I can replicate it in the windows build..
This could also be something, specific to psp architechture

It seems to happen only on episode 3, story mode on one of the bonus levels. I haven't been able to get through the level, as it has crashed there every time i try to play. But damn this game is outstanding. It's probably the longest I have ever played a psp port. I really have to thank you for porting this.

[Alree]

v0.6 seems to works fine, no BSOD in the entire Full Game mode, i just finish him.
Good work Deniska :thumbup:

[Jumbo]

THX deniska!

[Alree]

:(
well I just try a new game (with 0.6). When I finish "Episode One" level "Torm" load and there is another BSOD:

http://ambyans.free.fr/screen1.gif

But if I re-launch Tyrian and load my saved game that's run.

i have same problem with many levels

[griff14]

Not sure if this is firmware specific, but since the patch, it's no longer full screen (maybe 3/4 the size now) and I've got this really weird tricked out arrow cursor blinking at the top left of my screen. I'm running 3.52 m33-4. Weird!

set full screen in main menu : open tyrian

[donperwerso]

Congratulations on the great port!!

I'm just waiting for some functionality on the keyboard (at least "Enter" key) as I beat some high score and I'm now hung up at the "Enter your name" screen and I'll have to power off PSP, because I can't go any further :)

Edit: I can't get to episode 4 because of that :/

[Robert_Hamburger]

Same as Donperwerso, is there a way to emulate keyboard or just the enter key ?
I can't save since you have to enter a name, too... :(

Anyway, thanks a lot for putting Tyrian on PSP, I've loved this game since it's DOS release... thanks! :D

[MK2k]

Robert: the Game actually Autosaves, so you can always load from the last autosaved Point.

Deniska: Bummer that in the 0.6 the Fullscreen Mode is replaced by a non-scaled mode. And could you please turn off the SDL Mouse Cursor it's a bit useless and in 0.6 i got it flickering in the upper left corner of the screen (SDL_ShowCursor(SDL_DISABLE); could do the trick).

[MK2k]

Ok, now it seems something odd is happening on 0.6 (which didn't occur on 0.5):

After loading an autosaved game, playing through a level, upgrading the ship and starting the next level I get a BSOD with following information:

Exception - Bus error (data)
EPC - 08939FA4
Cause - 1000001C
Status - 60008613
BadVAddr - 00144000

identify offending routine with:
psp-addr2line -e target.elf -f -C 0x8939fa4 0x144000 0x8939d90

This didnt happen in 0.5 for me.

[The_It]

how can I save? I cannot press anything to save or to get out of the save window. I have to exit the game entirely. Its not a crash, It just won't let me do anything.

[Safari Al]

thanks a lot man ;) keep it up

[NightRaven]

Thanks Deniska for tweakin the controls so they're less touchy, the speed increase(btw no noticeable slowdown now even on turbo mode w/ fullscreen), and for fixing the fullscreen option for no reboot required. This is running very nicely for me v0.6 PSP phat 3.71 m33-3 w/1.50 addon. :thumbup:

I got this same BSOD after loading a save game thats from v0.5 in v0.6 and dieing a bunch of times(like 10 or so) just kept hitting the play next level button till it crashed. Home button still takes ya straight back to the XMB tho :).

Deniska thanks for this port!!! I'm loving it!

[yobdc]

cool

[Bestwick]

I see Tyrian 2000 had an extra episode (ep 5), but the source for that version was not released. Would there be any way of using the content from 2000 with OpenTyrian?

[Charfan]

I found a fansite talking about that Tyrian 2000, it seems great, more ships, weapons, episodes, etc.

http://members.iinet.net.au/~vannevar/tyrian/index.html

anyway thanks a lot for adapt That wonderful game on a psp.

PS: is a two player version of this game on one psp possible, using the cross and the stick to move, and useless buttons to Player 2 shoot?

[tiosolid]

man, this game rocks!!
Thanks for the update

[donperwerso]

For now let's just wait for "Enter" key support to just get through the hiscore dialog :). I want to play the 4th episode so badly, but I can't get past the hiscore dialog, because I can't enter my name :). There is really no need for full keyboard support in Tyrian. Just an "Enter" key would be fine.

Thanks Deniska! I've loved this game since I was a kid!!!

As people have said, support for the enter key and a 3.xx version of the program, and it's perfect.....

I get the same error.
Usually happens when I start playing a new game.

Using 3.71M33-3 if its of any consequence.

BTW, thanks for the port.
Last time I played with was about 7 years ago.
Addicted to the PC version for weeks and weeks.
I fear the same will happen again.

Top marks!!!

[azfargh]

I am just waiting for a more refined version of Tyrian Port.

When it going to be released Deniska? Don´t make me beg for it...

Other than support for some extra keys the port is pretty much top notch. Certainly worth playing already.

Edit: Disregard this entire post. It won't work if you try running it from under iRshell thru eLoader :P

PDG, how did you make it work?

I did all the same things, ran eLoader 1.0000, then the Tyrian folder thru it...

Well i just downloaded the first file "theres another update now you could try" from the first post: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=551715&postcount=1

I followed the instructions and copied TYRIAN folder to my PSP/GAME folder, Installed e-boot and ran it, then loaded TYRAIN on my Slim :)

Quite nifty :)

[donperwerso]

I am just waiting for a more refined version of Tyrian Port.

Man, what do you mean by "refined version"? This one already works perfectly on the PSP, it just requires the "Enter" button support for which I'm waiting for in anticipation!
Deniska: Any ETA on that one? :)

It crashed twice for me when I tried to load other levels. So it needs a refined version ;).

[getenet]

The game looks really sweet! I downloaded it to my computer and I really am not sure where to put it. what now! HELP!!!

[AshTR]

I can tell it's a rendering bug because after I've run either the credits or the jukebox then try to go into a level, it crashes on load up.

[dier_cire]

Running 3.40-OE

Using alt eboot 2, I played it up till mid Ep3 and in one of the bonus zones (red with lots of little bubbles) it'd crash everytime I got to the boss.

Tried v0.6 and it crashes when loading the saved game. Started a new game and it seems to be ok, though I need to get back to that point. Also, Select exits to the XMB when at the main menu. Kinda weird.

Otherwise, cool though.

[Takalangha]

You guys are my absolute fugging HEROES.

I will love you forever for doing this.

Tyrian is my absolute favorite game of all time and I have been dreaming about this (hand-held Tyrian) since I got my first Gameboy Color.

If I weren't a broke college student, I would pay you MASSIVE money for the amount of joy this is going to give me.

0.7 is working fine for me :)

Continuing a previous savegame I was able to play through the full game mode.

No crashes. Just once began stuttering. Quitting the game and loading the savegame solved the problem.

Is there a way to enter "backspace" ?

[kavayo]

Thanks for this awesome port! I never get tired or bored of playing Tyrian.

(PSP Slim v3.71 M33-3, eLoader 1.000)

0.6 works awesomely though! Thank you! :D

There might be a bug in SLD_sysmutex implementation for PSP, which triggers this particular problem...

Thanks Deniska !

[deniska]

Attaching the source code for the latest revision..
I'll post the binaries later once I tweak a few more things...

[Bestwick]

Yay for 0.8! Anything interesting or mostly just bug fixes?

[chris-007]

Tyrian 0.8

Old savegames are broken.
The first one works. The second has its name shifted 4 characters to the right, the following former empty states show things like episode 32.

Maybe there were some characters introduced(unwanted?) in the 0.8 savegames so that only the first one works.

I think the newest PC version loads old savegames correctly.

[kavayo]

Thanks a lot deniska! I have a black screen when running the game with no text at all that I think is the screen for activating christmas mode, like the pc version. Just pressing a key makes me towards it but as chris-007 said, the savegames from version 0.7 don't work. Don't think I'm just complaining. I like this port very much and it's gaving me lots of hours of fun like when I was younger. Thanks again to the intense seriuous coder Deniska!!!!

[deniska]

I think the latest official revision changed the save/load game logic a bit.. they mentioned on their forums that old save games might stop working..

[Izowiuz]

Great job! Thanks ! Fully working Tyrian for PSP and updated port of ToME and I need no Crisis Core x) \m/

Hmm... File "OpenTyrianPSP_v05.rar" produces 4 CRC check errors, maybe the download is broken ?

[endinion]

Great work. Thank you for the nice port :thumbup:

[chris-007]

Played a bit around with different revisions (569/627/647/648) from http://yuriks.nonlogic.org/opentyrian-svn/ and saving/loading between them.
I could not reproduce the savestate problem.
In the Opentyrian forum this posting http://tyrian2k.proboards23.com/index.cgi?board=opentyriangeneral&action=display&thread=1196917818
says something about savestate problems, but both PSP and x86 are little-endian. Maybe the bug is not always triggered.

[Cap'n 1time]

I wonder if it would ever be possible to recreate this games brother Raptor: Call of the Shadows. I wasted many hours in my youth playing that game.

[MariusFlieh]

Didn't get it work on 3.71-M33-4

[smeky]

the tyrian v5 rar is corrupted any one else gettin this problem ???

[Cap'n 1time]

the tyrian v5 rar is corrupted any one else gettin this problem ???

I had that problem. I went to exophases blog and he linked me back here. I redownloaded it from this site and it seemed to work. Strange, huh?

[Firehawke]

Any chance we'll see a bit more volume in the next version? The port is absolutely great-- the only complaint I have at ALL is that I can barely hear the music even with max volume in-game and on the PSP itself. It actually had me convinced I'd blown the speakers on my PSP somehow until I'd loaded up some other games and got much more audible volume on them.

[ForteMP3]

Just an FYI, the 05 build has corrupt/bad CRC errors abound.

Opentyrian.elf
tyrend.anm
tyrianc.shp
voices.snd

All of these files gave me bad CRC errors when I tried to extract.

I have been able to get the game to boot despite the bad .elf though (I used a tyrian21.zip to get all the files aside from the elf)

Anyway, my thoughts so far on .08

Looks great, plays great for the most part, but like Firehawke said...Music is WAY too quiet, it needs a volume boost!

Also, for some reason the Triangle button is acting as Joystick Button 1 instead of Space/Fire, just an FYI on that (Unless it was intentional, which is fine).

So far, so good...However, I would like to make a couple suggestions...

-While R is currently reserved for the Onscreen Keyboard, would it be possible to change this to another button? I ask this because personally, I would LOVE for L and R to be Sidekick buttons, they're perfect for it really. Since a game like this really doesn't control well with the analog stick, perhaps that could be used to call the onscreen keyboard? That or Start (Select already works for pausing anyway.)

-Increase the music volume output, this is a must please. :)

-If the idea of making Start call the keyboard flies...A crazy idea for the analog stick...How about letting it emulate the mouse? Any Tyrian player will tell you that some levels were even more fun using the Mouse to move due to the cheat potential (You can move faster using the mouse, and even go through unpassable areas due to the massive speed)

Anyway, these are just suggestions really, and feel free to take them with a grain of salt. Overall, this is a FANTASTIC port, it has earned a permanent spot on my Memory Stick. :)

[deniska]

The dcemu web server has been acting up recently.. anyway, I have re-uploaded the 0.5 version archive...
As far as buttons assignments- I wanted to stay as closed to the original sdl port as possible. I'll look in to boosting the music volume part..

[Jumbo]

thx for port

[kavayo]

I'm glad to see that you are even improving this nice, wonderful tyrian port wich took most of my free time when I was 15-16 years old (and is taking so much of my spare time right now...). Thanks a lot!!!!!!

[johoo]

.. anyway, I have re-uploaded the 0.5 version archive...
..

downloaded 0.5 today and still corrupt
tryed it twice to download

i've got the working version from eXophase now

thnx johoo

[Wobble]

thanks for the great port. i noticed with the latest version .9 sometimes the audio is crackly. also that the ship movement is tied to the joypad interface. i would love for it to be tied to the mouse input. as there are certian tricks you can only do with the mouse in tyrian. like whipping the ship through some of the repulsar barriers. anyways thanks again and keep up the great work! oh and i dont know if this helps but im running the game through eloader 1.00 on 3.71 m33-4

-Wobble

[kavayo]

I can't access any of the special arcade modes with the new OSK, WEIRD, TECHNO, STEALTH... Is there any way to make them working again? Thanks!

It works on my slim with 3.71 M33

[kavayo]

Thanks!!!!

[ChronoDog]

Deniska, thank you so very much for the 3.xx port, works awsomely! You're my hero :D

[azfargh]

Deniska... you have NO IDEA how much I wanted this game working on my brand new psp slim...





When I grow up, I wanna be just like you

all hail deniska!!!

[DarthPaul]

Yeah! For Slims finally! deniska marry me.

[radulle]

Thank You... This is THE GAME of my yougth.

[Codaz]

Game, lol it's an app. But hey it works :)

[arlaken]

Just noticed a little thing, is it normal... that some songs play weird in v1.0, maybe i didnt notice them in older versions. The 2 songs I heard that was weird was "Assassin" and "Rock Garden" . Havent check if it was the case for other songs.

[pranuk]

Thank you Deniska!!!! This game rocks!! Installed Tyrian today on my Phat PSP 3.53M33, perfect!
:thumbup:

I have downgraded the sound quality to get more cpu juice for the rendering of the game.. It's mostly unnoticeable except for a couple of places..

[monchito_yeyeye]

is it working on 371 m33-2 i want that game it looks great accrding to them. pls help how to install it im noob. thanks

[monchito_yeyeye]

dude i installed it a while ago but when i try it. it cames with a black screen. i try to update the eboot theres also have an error. i want to try the e loader but is it harm my psp or it get me brick? im noob pls help. i got my psp 3 days ago. im using 3.71 m33-2 somebdy can help me? thanks

[ic41213]

Just registered to show some love and affection for deniska for this awesome and long overdue homebrew!

One question, can you activate the Impossible and Suicide difficulty levels somehow (Shift-W, Shift-] in the original game)?

What about the "Wild" detail mode, Destruct minigame and all those other hidden features (see Tyrian @ gamefaqs)?

[deniska]

wild detail mode is definitely working.. (use right trigger to toggle letter entry mode then needed)

You should be able to enter most of the arcade modes the same way.. keystroke combos are not yet supported... I dont see too much demand for it...

[deniska]

dude i installed it a while ago but when i try it. it cames with a black screen. i try to update the eboot theres also have an error. i want to try the e loader but is it harm my psp or it get me brick? im noob pls help. i got my psp 3 days ago. im using 3.71 m33-2 somebdy can help me? thanks
you should be more specific about what and how you install. So far, i did not hear any complaints about the 1.0 version..

[monchito_yeyeye]

Deniska i really want that game pls help me to work it on my psp slim 3.71 m33-2 my question is if i install an e loader w/ my psp is it harm my psp or not? coz i wanna try to run it by an eloader but im not sure if im gonna do it coz i dont have any idea about an eloader. what thats mean? is it downgrade or not? TIA

[TheDark]

Hello all!

First off, great work deniska and all the people involved in this port!

Now I have a problem. Whenever I start a new full game, either in easy, normal or hard mode, the first level plays at the correct difficulty mode, but the next ones will play at suicide (I think) difficulty. Any idea why this might be happenning? In arcade mode this doesn't happen. I've tried all the episodes in full game and it always happens.

I'm using a Slim with 3.90 M33, and PSP Tyrian 1.0.

Also, I was using 0.7 before and all of this didn't happen.

EDIT: After looking at the code, and doing some "debugging" with CWCheat, I found out that the game is going from the chosen difficulty level to "Nortaneous". Which is the hardest visible in the code...

[marzsyndrome]

Been enjoying playing a full episode of Tyrian on my PSP today. :) A couple of gripes however....


1) Maybe this is a general OpenTyrian related bug, but I've noticed during the shop sequence that the game seems to keep losing memory of what levels your front and rear weapons are at - when you wraparound the list from top and reappear at the bottom, both guns are reset to their initial debut levels and you get your money back (it made me think at first there was some bizarre bug where the game randomly gave me more credits to use). Not a serious problem, but it can be annoying to have to occasionally re-upgrade your weapons back to where they were at initially.

2) Is there any way at all to implement command-line parameter codes? Things like "loot" to give you more cash and "yesxmas" to unlock the Christmas textures mode. These were entered at a command line prompt - it would be nice if there was a way to implement this in the PSP port somehow. Maybe have a little pre-boot menu where you can use the OSK to enter a code (or more) of your choice before properly starting up the game? Just a random suggestion I guess.


Apart from that, everything else is good! PSP seems to handle Wild mode impressively well.

[marzsyndrome]

Bumpity-bumpo.


Is this still going to be worked on in the future I wonder? It seems all ports of OpenTyrian I see materialise get quietly abandoned after one or two versions. :(

Xmass textures are already supported - you need to change the calendar to activate them...

I'll look in to the latest SVN changes in the opentyrian code and if there are significant bug fixes - I'll merge them in to PSP version..

[marzsyndrome]

LOL, I was hoping it'd be possible to unlock them without having to physically change the system date on my PSP every time - the Windows port allows a shortcut - but oh well. :p


And thanks for responding!

[Jadiinnnnn]

thanks so much for this! I'm having lots of fun.

now if only someone ported commander keen to psp I'd bet set :>

There have been quite a few. There's also internet play support in OpenTyrian via command line but I'm not sure how you'd set the PSP up to do it.

[Randomness]

First of all, thanks a lot to Deniska for porting OpenTyrian to PSP. It's really awesome to be able to play Tyrian anywhere, and the game runs great.

Are you planning to develop Tyrian 2000 for PSP? This version included Episode 5 (which doesn't appear to be in the current release of your OpenTyrian port)

Also one minor bug I've noticed. When going to the weapons menu, the weapons seem to be automatically downgraded to level 1 when browsing. It's not a critical issue. If you press Triangle (or the cancel button you've designated) it exits fine without resetting the weapon level, but going to the bottom exit option resets the weapon to the lowest level. :confused:

marzsyndrome noted this bug on the last post of page 13 (post #130)

[deniska]

the bug that you describing is probably fixed in the latest snapshot of OpenTyrian source code... I'll try to update the PSP port whenever I find time..

[AshTR]

I know this is old but...I'm assuming Tyrian for PSP has been dropped for updates, correct?

The OpenTyrian guys seem have to come to a bit of a standstill on the Classic source. Hasn't been that many updates on it recently.

They seem to mainly be focusing on the Enhanced version.

[dark_avenger]

thanks for this awsome port. keep up the good work.
