Well, here it is, the first non-flash homebrew game for v2.70-v2.80. It's that old favourite, Tetris! Here's a picture of it in action. Now that might seem exciting. But it's not all.
This Tetris was built with our other new announcement of today - a mini-SDK for programming simple homebrew on 2.0 - 2.80. Which means that the door is open for more simple homebrew applications to be written for 2.70-2.80.
Non-programmers can download the Tetris game by clicking here. Programmers can download the SDK here. Full instructions are included in the SDK, that should allow experienced PSP coders to develop their own TIFF-based programs.
Please be aware that this is a restricted environment, due to the extra security in 2.70+. The README.TXT in the SDK explains the implications, but basically the number of available system calls is limited, so only fairly simple programs can be made.
We will follow up with a more fully-featured eLoader in the future, but for now, we thought it would be nice to release this so that 2.70+ users would have something to do while they wait!
UPDATE: Some people have had problems running the TIFF homebrew. Here are some tips that may help: - Make sure that you unzip the package so that the 3 files (.tif, .bin and .jpg) are all in a single folder, called 'tetris', within the /psp/photo/ folder on your memory stick.
- Reboot your PSP completely (by holding the power switch for a few seconds until it switches off) before opening the TIFF.
- Instead of opening the TIFF directly, try opening the folder as a slideshow, by pressing TRIANGLE.
