Shallan joined our forums to lets us know that he has set up some cool flash games for our 2.7 users at his site.

One of these games is a rather well made cross word game called Xword.

Play Xword and 2 other interesting flash games on your 2.7 psp's at Shallan's site.. Thanks Shallan!

Update : Just tweaked a few things with the crossword...gave it a random choice of 3 backgrounds everytime it generates a crossword... Addedd a check button to check your answers, and fixed the "invisible" clear button bug i noticed.

And a quick peek at some retro games im remaking in flash:

Creatures (c64)

SuperSprint (arcade)

o this doesnt make me want to upgrade to 2.7 but it is good for people who are stuck with 2.7

Hey if the games for this 2.70 mini-exploit are using .twf files or whatever the extentions were why dont you guys make emulators and such through them too? My guess is that it would not work though due to file sizes, storage for roms, saves, etc. just curious though.

And I dont know a whole lot about flash. But I do know that it is only able to do so much within the limatations of what flash 6 can do.
I would say a real shot at emulation through flash is an impossible dream

The problem is two-fold...

Firstly theres simply not enough memory to hold most emulators + roms. The psp flash player is limited to the browser memory (around 1.5mb)

Secondly the flash included with the psp runs so painfully slow that interpreted roms would run incredibly slow and even a dynamic emulator would still have problems refreshing the screen at playable rates.

This is why I am working to develop a range of retro games specifically tweaked for the psp version of flash. The final outcome will be a set of core game engines for simple 2d games which i may eventually make editors and scripting engines for and release them as SDK tools for people looking to make games for 2.7+

My biggest challenge at the moment is getting a tile scrolling engine built so we can make games like Mario, Sonic or Creatures as shown above. However even a usually easy task such as this runs into complications on such a slow platform. Hopefully Sony will realise this and give us a little more speed/memory like they did with general browsing in the last firmware update.
