The other day I talked to someone ( Sorry, I forgot your irc nick ) on #psplua ( irc channel on irc.rizon.net ) He said how a super mario brothers clone with a level editor could be fun. I thought about it, and got to work.


Image from super-lua-mario -level editor- version 0.0

Now this is just the level editor and it's very new but you can see how it's coming. The editor can do up to 26 screens per level. The biggest level in the original game is 13 screens ( world 8-1 ). More info to come.

-Update-


Editor can now add decals. It's starting to look nice.

Well I'm back from my very long vacation away from the PSP scene. Many things have happen and lots of great homebrew app have been released. All of you that know me and this site know I don't post anything I don't or can't test. Since most of the new homebrew and hacks have been for the PSP slim, I had to go and buy a 4th PSP. Now I can test releases, so watch for updates.



I've got some requests to repack PSP Duck Hunt v0.4 so it will be playable on the slim ( 3.xx kernel ). Ive been working on it so look for a re-release next week.

SanDisk® Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) and Sony Corporation today announced the development of the “Memory Stick PRO-HG” format expanded from the “Memory Stick PRO” format.



The new “Memory Stick PRO-HG” media uses an enhanced, 8-bit parallel interface in addition to a conventional serial and 4-bit parallel interface. The interface clock frequency also increases to 60MHz from 40MHz. This means that maximum data transfer speed increases up to 480Mbps, or 60MB/s (theoretical value), three times as fast as that of “Memory Stick PRO” media. The minimum write speed at 8-bit parallel transfer is 120 Mbps, or 15MB/s*1. These enhancements allow large data amounts of up to several gigabytes to be quickly transferred, as well as the real-time recording of high-resolution video and still images.



Licensing for the development of “Memory Stick PRO-HG” compliant host devices is scheduled for January 2007.
