So glad you are continuing work on this great game. I have started playing again, I had forgotten how crazy the real physics are sling-shotting all over the galaxy. I had a small problem switching between the star view and the solar system view, seemed to be a key sensitivity problem.

hy, atien, i've renamed the savefile, but under F3, commander's name remains 'jameson' all the time, how do i change this name, u know that? thanks.

i was trying to rename my commander's name on the game, and testing things on the WinUAE emulator running Frontier, and i've discovered some interesting things:

The WinUAE is an AMIGA emulator for windows, and the frontier running on it, is the 'same' game code of this port;

We CAN LOAD/PLAY/SAVE the game of PSP on Desktop emulator, using a resource of the emulator where a folder is 'mapped' like a HD, inside emulator, and this savegame file still compatible on PSP.

On WinUAE, is possible to SAVE an AVI/Xvid file from game, with sounds!!!

And... i renamed my commander's name of my savegame in the WinUAE, and worked fine on PSP.

IT'S AWESOME!!!

Thank you very much for your work. Frontier Elite II is one of my favourite games :thumbup:

The game is great (even today) and the possibility to play it on my PSP makes it even better
The Controls are nearly pearfect. Just some little improvements to the Framerate (to enable max details) and this port is perfect.

I´ve made some additonal Icons and Backrounds. If you´re interested just PM me.

Thanks !!
