HaCKaH v1.0.0

[MadButch]

My PC Tetris game HaCKeR has been ported to the PSP under the name HaCKaH.


The game only contains the main single player part of HaCKeR, because I don't have the hardware to test out the network modes. So the excellent CoOp mode will unfortunately have to wait until a future update.
MP3 support is another thing on the MIA list. I did convert the game's music to wav, but it would be 25 Mb of music (and a 20Mb additional download), so I have postponed music support as well.

You can download the game here: HaCKaH_PSP.zip

Have fun with it.

Thanks for the mirror.

I just updated it to v1.0.1.

I had forgotten to re-align the text in the end screen.
That's what happens if I don't add something to my ToDo list as soon as I think of it

Sorry for the (quick) update already...

hehe, i made a eboot of the original release for v1.0 PSPs and took screens on the page linked above

new version posted and uploaded too

Did it work to just remove the %1 from the filename, and moving the Data subdir into the 1.0 dir?
I will have to make a seperate 1.0 eboot then, because the 1.0 version won't save the HiScores and game settings (pointing to the ________1 dir).
There's probably a trick to check the PSP's bios version nr, and then set the dir accordingly. But I gotta check the dev boards for that.

I can provide you with a PC exe if you would like to easily make a couple of screenshots. It runs with the exact same data, and in a 480x272 window (same size as PSP screen). Although I like the pictures you put up... gives it more authenticity.

Thanks for the work on it... It's really nice to see it up on your site already

The game has been updated to v1.0.2.

Fixed a bug that prevented the mirrored L block from appearing.
Fixed a big that prevented the 2nd Next Block display sound from ever being played.
Fixed a bug where the Settings and HiScores weren't saved on Bios 1.0 PSPs.
Added a download for people with the v1.0 bios (HaCKaH_PSPv10.zip)
(This still needs to be tested, so send me an email if you tried the game on a 1.0, telling me wether it works or not)

Enjoy!

works great on a v1.0, played for 30 mins this morning

what you do to make a v1.0 is use PSP brew to convert the 1.50 to v1.00 (eboot) that is. (its on the main site)

Thanks again for a great Stickied release.

When I compile the game without the flag to create the 1.5 version, it makes the 1.0 eboot. It just didn't make it in subdirs, like the 1.5 compile did, and that's why I overlooked it in the first place.

From now on I can just do 2 compiles and have both versions ready... Nice and easy.

I will look into the saving/loading mechanism next, but I don't have any eta for it.


And thanks for all the help with it, and the cool screenies
