Chromium PSP changelog

Those who liked Chromium PSP (the homebrew PSP port of the Windows and Linux shooter) should get ready to start cracking with updating their copy of Chromium, now that homebrew developer Royale just released a patch for the port, with some bug fixes.

Just like the previous release, you have to do some file tinkering in order to make game run on your PSP. Just follow the instructions below to help you get started:

• First you need the PSP toolchain installed with libraries.
• I had to recompile SDL_Mixer with the following options to fix linking: --disable-music-libmikmod --disable-music-ogg --disable-music-ogg-tremor --disable-music-mp3
• Download Chromium B.S.U. version 0.9.12 here.
• Untar src and data archives.
• Apply my patch: cd Chromium-0.9; patch -p1 < ../Chromium-PSP-0.2.patch
• Build the glpng library: cd support/glpng/src/; make -f Makefile.psp
• Build the game: cd ../../../src/; make -f Makefile.psp
• Copy the data folder in the SCEChromium folder.
• Copy the SCEChromium and %SCEChromium folders to the PSP 1.5 firmware folder and enjoy//

PlayStation Portable homebrew developer Royale has just released a new build for Chromium PSP, bumping it up to version 0.2. This particular game is actually a port of Chromium B.S.U. originally released on Windows and Linux.
