Well here is a version that fixes fileio problems, which means saving/loading is now working, there is still too much work to be done in the gui. Im releasing this as playing without saving is a pain, and now i can continue porting more relaxed.

Also note that now there are 2 openttd packages, one for 1.50 and the other one for 1.00 & 2.00, i hope this simplifies the installation and also to avoid the language issue.

The ChangeLog:

Fixed fileio problems, this enables
- Save/Load scenearios
- Save/Load scenearios
- Play any of the four landscape types
- Save ingame modified settings
Triangle deleting main screen fixed
Some debug messages added when missing files
Added screenshot support presing select button

NOTE FOR 2.00 OR GREATER USERS
For those having issues with the game here is the explanation, so please be patient and dont ask twice for the same thing.

The problem is the following, openttd keeps by default 8 opened files
and PSP just allow 10 opened files a as max, then it just have 2 files
to open left for save/load, screenshots or any other fileio
operations.

Looks like fanjita loaders keeps 1 or even 2 files opened, so it will
produce malfunctions on openttd, i will try to contact fanjita to see
if he can free those 2 precious file descriptors in his loader.

NOTE FOR THOSE SUFFERING THE BRAZILIAN ISSUE
The release is on good working condition, it works fine for me uncompressing and copying files from a unix box, so i dont know if winzip or windows xp integrated zip is truncating files or what...

If you are installing this over an old release, just delete the old one and install the new one.

If you are still suffering the language issue, just delete the "brazilian_portuguese.lng" file under "/PSP/GAME/ottd/lang/" and rename your desired language to "brazilian_portuguese.lng".
