    Features :

    - "Spear Of Destiny" Full & Trial support --New!

    - Full Music Support (works great )
    - Full Screen Support (as default, can be enlarged more however)

    - PSP Slim Support
    - PSP Phat Support
    - Configurable Controls (See Read Me!)

    Known Bugs :

    Saving/loading buggyness is still there. I didn't even get chance to look at it yet. It's on the todo list for v5.0

    Changes In This Version :

    - Added support for "Spear Of Destiny (full version) & "Spear Of Destiny (Trial Version). Both work great
    - Added Analog support. Analog support has been added to both the menu and ingame.
    - Exit/Quit bug fixed. Game no longer crashes your psp upon exit.
    - Re-wrote Parts of the menu code. Now is more console specific. Some pointless options removed, lots renamed.
    - Quit messages fixed. Remember been insuled every time you wanted to quit Wolf3d? well the messages have been fixed now, so you can be!
    - Change screen size option removed from menu, pointless. (why would you want it smaller?)
    - Code cleanup. (quite a bit of it )
    - Fixed typo in Game title on release, icon0 and pic1
    - Various other fixes/clean-ups.

    Summary :

    So yeah, a nice few changes . Hope you all enjoy Spears Of Destiny. I am working to get the full version of Wolf3D working. It's fighting me but I will get it in the end . Version 5.0 will include support for it, so look forward to that!.

    Q : Why is each game a separate zip file?
    A : The way the game is made means they have to be separate. I am looking into a way to select which game you want on boot however.

    Thank you all for your kind words and warmness toward this project. It makes it fun to work on. :thumbup:

    I hope you all enjoy it

    Here are some screens :




    NOTE : To run the FULL version of Spears Of Destiny you must find/purchase its .SOD/.sod files & put them into the wolf3d folder. I can't include them due to them been under copyright. More info in readme. Google is your friend.

    Hi everybody,

    I have just finished the new version (version 4.0) of my prx called prxutility++
    This prx allows you to know several information about your battery (time left, charge level, temperature, voltage, ac adapter, ...) , cpu/bus speed, your mac adress, the motherboard model of your psp...
    prxutility++ also allows you to shutdown, reboot or sleep your psp, to set brightness to maximum (or minimum)...

    CHANGELOG:
    - Compatible with the 4.01 M33 or higher
    - You can now take screenshots with L + HOME saved to "ms0:/PICTURE/prxutility++shot"
    - When you are in the Help menu, this prx suspend the xmb to avoid that the xmb is decelerated
    - Fixed some bugs

    CHANGELOG:

    - One of the hollows follows you with automatic displacement

    - System of collisions ameliorated with addition of the superimposing of the elements of the decor
    - Fixed some bugs in the battle
    - Modification of some element of the decor (the colours of dialogues being not changed through lack of time at this time of hollydays)
    - Better precision of the attacks of the hollows: consequently hollows would not miss you any more

    Jf has posted a release of the Mac Emulator for the PSP, heres the release details:

    Here's a test build. It's not meant to be used, it's for feedback on the GUI mainly. That doesn't mean it doesn't work - it boots my 8.0 CD just fine. It's just not usable yet due to limitations.

    Ignore the crappy refresh routines - I'll be replacing them entirely in the next few days. I just used enough of a stretch blit to be able to see something to be certain the emu is running.

    Currently, the analog stick is the mouse, with LTRIGGER/RTRIGGER as the buttons. The d-pad is the cursor keys, and X is ENTER. I'll eventually have denzef keyboard and pspirkeyb support, as well as the ability to remap the buttons when in that mode. As I mentioned, this is just a test.

    The only volume you can select is the cdrom. You can select hardfiles, but they aren't remembered or used (yet). I'll put a floppy selector in there as well tomorrow or the next day.

    The default directory for roms is "roms", the default dir for floppys is "disks" (and floppies should all have an extension of .dsk), the default dir for cdroms is "cdroms", and hardfiles is "hardfiles". It doesn't mean they HAVE to be in those directories, but that is where the file requester will go first.

    I allow three Mac resolutions - 512x384, 640x480, and 768x576. You can select four different depths - 4bit, 8bit, 16bit, and 32bit. At the moment, the video is also hardcoded to only display on the LCD. I'll change that when I change the refresh routines.

    The binary here is currently set for small memory so I could check how it would work on a phat - you can get up to 16M on a phat and 44M on the slim (not with this build - with a build set for large memory).

    Anywho, here's the current test build and src arcs.

    News/release from jimmikaelkael

    Free MC Boot is an 'exploit' that allows a user to install it on official 8MB Sony MC's as well as 3rd party cards. (with the exception of those needing a boot disc to be recognized or cloned Chinese cards)


    1.5

    Now there's a Free McBoot Configurator (made by suloku), see links.

    Loader side :
    - OSDSYS Hack, by Neme (You can reload FMCB from OSDSYS, great work Neme ).
    - Added Rescue loading (tries before all things to boot "mass0:/RESCUE.ELF", "mc?:/RESCUE.ELF", passing to another if the previous is not found)
    - Added third entry (LK_???_E3) for each key in cnf file.
    - Added entry for Skip-HDD in cnf file.
    - Fixed 1st controller problem with slims ps2.

    Installer side :
    - Compatility with scph-10000 by loading X-modules (XSIO2MAN, XMCMAN, XMCSERV, XPADMAN) from the same folder where installer is running, by Coolaan.
    - Config folder renamed ("SYS-CONF/FREEMCB.CNF" --> "FMCB-CNF/FREEMCB.CNF"), and icons added, by JNABK.
    - The file to embed must now be "EMBED.ELF", and placed in same folder where installer is running (This option is only useful for developpers as ffgriever's cdvd init and multilanguage fixes are not applied to the embedded elf).
    - You can modify your FREEMCB.CNF before install and put it in same folder where installer is running, If the file is not existing on MC, it will be copied as config.
    - You can put a BOOT.ELF in same folder where installer is running, it will be copied as mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF (if the file is not already existing on MC).
    - Modified default config, more noob-friendly.
    - Install with Cross-Linking available.
    - You can exit installer by loading "mass:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF", "mc?:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF", "mc?:/B?DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT.ELF" (passing to another if the previous is not existing)
    - Fixed bug in custom embedding process.

    Thanks to TnA for all useful ideas.

    If your memcard was holding a cross-linking version of FMCB, Format it before to install.
    Multi-Version Install checks for dummies and Uninstall it (means it unlinks the cross-linking), so FMCB 1.5 and higher will not require to format your card each time you reinstall.

    In FMCB Installer :
    - CROSS : Normal Install
    - SQUARE : Multi-Version Install
    - TRIANGLE : PowerOff PS2
    - CIRCLE : Load BOOT.ELF ( try to boot these file in this order : "mass:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF", "mc?:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF" , "mc?:/B?DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT.ELF"), maybe you will find a better name for this one.
    - SELECT : Format MC
    - START : Uninstall Multi-Version (this perform the Uncross-linking, to unpatch dummies, not like to just delete them).

    Normal Install creates only your osdxxx.elf file.
    Multi-Version Install uses cross-linking to make your card compatible with all ps2 versions (of the same region).
    Uninstall Multi-Version properly unlinks the cross-linked dummies and revert back to normal install.

    You can optionnally put in the same folder that the installer :
    - "DVDELF.BIN" file to replace your rom dvdelf taken by default for inject (It must be encrypted,
    so just taken out from rom).
    - "EMBED.ELF" file to be injected in dvdelf and replace the Free McBoot loader.
    - "FREEMCB.CNF" file to be used as default config (is it is not already existing on MC).
    - "BOOT.ELF" file, it will be copied as mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF (if the file is not already existing on MC).

    The BOOT folder is intentionnally empty, place on it your boot files.
    Don't delete any FMCB file (essentially dummies or uninstall file), unless you know what your doing !

    The installer creates a mcX:/FMCB-CNF/FREEMCB.CNF config file if it not already exist.


    Config options:
    - for boot from usb use for example : mass:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF
    - for boot from memcard use for example : mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF or mc1:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF
    - you can use too for example : mc?:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF it wills check for the file in the two slots.
    - LK_???_E1 entries are first boot attempt, LK_???_E2 entries are secondary boot file, LK_???_E3 third boot file.
    - All LK_???_?? can either be set to a path or to "OSDSYS", in the second case if no key is pressed you will be
    rejected to the browser. If you set a path it will be booted if no key pressed.
    - AutoBoot_Disc option allow to check if a ps2 disk is present (Close the tray !!!) and boot it, set it to 0 to avoid this.
    - Debug_Screen set to 1 allow to keep the Green debug screen if no boot file is found, if set to 0 reject to browser

    By default, config file is set to boot like that (if you press R1) :
    - mc?:/BOOT/BOOT1.ELF
    - mc?:/BOOT/BOOT1.ELF
    - mc?:/B?DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT1.ELF
    - mc?:/B?DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT1.ELF
    BOOT2.ELF if you press R2.
    BOOT3.ELF if you press L1.
    BOOT4.ELF if you press L2.
    BOOT.ELF if no key pressed.
    Rejected to browser for others keys or no boot file found.
    AutoBoot_Disc is set to 0.

    You should not see Red screen if the CNF is readed, if you experience red screen check that you have config file in valid path

    If you don't want of this config file, delete it ! (Just the FREEMCB.CNF, Not all the FMCB-CNF folder !!!)

    If no config file is found the loader boots like 1.4 :
    If you not hold any button,
