Laying some groundwork for potential homebrew dopeness is MK2k with a Chipmunk Physics port.

This PSP demonstration is ported from Slembcke’s chipmunk physics library and the included demos that showcase its capabilities. For graphics and user input, MK2k uses the JGE++ Engine by Dr. Watson.

Step into Po-Han Lin’s AgenaWorld — a “Homeworld”-type game supporting Ad-hoc multiplayer. Command your spacecraft through other galaxies while visiting all nine planets, including the sun.

To quote Po-Han Lin:

In Agenaworld 1.6, the major fixes are double buffered FULL 720×480 24bit color output to the TV (when run on your slim). Note that this release requires that your set up the game folder to be running the firmware 3.x homebrew code (as opposed to firmware 1.5). It should run fine on both the fat and slim versions of the PSP.

Another update is the ability to output proportional fonts! What this means is that character sizes are not fixed width (like in Agenaworld 1.5). If you press the left trigger or right trigger button, you should get a screenful of text that shows off how nice it looks in proportional font. You will notice this for words that contain wide and narrow characters (characters “i” and “w” are at the extreme points of narrow and wide characters).

Also, this version fixes the problem people may have reaching earth if you are running on Slim output to the TV (the spacegate cube was off screen). This version moves many gates on the maps. The algorithm for calculating the location of the gates so they are fixed at the same place whatever the screen size will be fixed in the next version, but basically, in this version you should be able to reach every place in every galaxy. Also the starting point is now at Earth, this way you can see familiar planets before venturing out into the different galaxies.

I tidied up the code, and the game resembles more and more like a game engine rather than a game. Soon, it will be able to load in a file with all the map and gate info. Gates are like teleporters to different places on the same map or to different maps when you press the Triangle button when touching them. You enter one gate and exit another gate (looks like cubes on the map). In the future it should be easy for people to place gates on their own custom maps.

Weltall with CWCHEAT 0.2.2 Revision “A” — for Awesome!

Some God of War cheats…

– infinite double jumps by dc4
0×6033614C 0×00000001
0×00020002 0×000002C8
0×30000060 0×00000000

CWCHEAT 0.2.2 REV. A:

• [ALL] fixed a bug in the difference search which could lead to an evaluation error making the difference function unusable in the case that the game allocates more than entire user ram – 50kbs
• [ALL] Removed allocation of user ram for the difference search. This should increase compatibility with never games and reduced the plugin size of about 200bytes.
• [ALL] Various optimizations in the controller management in the menus, additionally some menus now auto repeat just like most. This allowed to reduce the size of the plugin of 632bytes
• [GAME] Added multilevel pointer codes. This will allow you to track a point in ram by going trough a series of pointer like those seen in god of war. this is the code type:
  • 0×6aaaaaaa 0xvvvvvvvv
  • 0xqqqxnnnn 0xiiiiiiii
  • 0xSwwwwwww 0xSwwwwwww
  • a = the starting pointer
  • v = the value to store at the found point at the end
  • q = the offset to add to a each loop(x4) most probably you want this to be zero in this case
  • x = pointer type (check the normal pointers)
  • i = offset to add/subtract (depending to x) from the last pointed area in the pointed chains to find were to put v
  • n = number of times to point (you must start counting from one, so if the level of pointer you want to do is 2 you put here 2 if it’s 3 you put 3, the first pointer is considered first level, so if you put two offsets in the third line the value you need is 3)
  • S = offset type to find next pointer (2 for normal offset(+w), 3 for inverse offset(-w))
  • w = offset from the last pointed area to find the next pointer
• [GAME] some performance optimizations to avoid unnecessary repeated loops and assignments in the pointer codes
• [ALL] reworked, yes again, the db downloader now the 3.x version is libhttp based so it should work better. Plus various enhancements were added and some additional checks and functions. No changes for the 1.x version.
• [ALL] removed some repeated code this reduced the size of the plugin of 916bytes
• [ALL] now last text file opened is reopened when you go to the text reader
