About Extreme Tux Racer

Version 1.0 has twenty-two mountains and up to five computer penguins to race in Practice and in cups. The menus are lists made for the PSP's buttons, the game is in twelve languages, and saves go through the PSP's own save dialogs.

- D-Pad or analog stick: steer
- Up or R: paddle
- Down or L: brake
- Cross: hold and release to jump
- Square + direction: trick
- Triangle: back onto the course
- Start: pause

The data and config folders must stay next to EBOOT.PBP. The author ran it on a PSP-1000 at 333 MHz and in PPSSPP.

Extreme Tux Racer on a real PSP-1000

⭐ What's in 1.0

  • Race five penguins. Choose none or one to five in Practice and in cups. They drive by the slope, the best a little quicker than you; they bump into you, and the result lists everyone's time.
  • Made for the PSP. Menus as lists for the PSP's buttons, a controls picture with a real PSP, the language asked at the first start, everything in twelve languages.
  • Smooth on real hardware. About 58 FPS in clear weather; heavy snow runs at an even 30 instead of jerking.
  • Saves through the PSP's own dialogs. Progress and settings are kept on your Memory Stick.
  • Quick to start. The first menu after about 6 seconds, a race about 12 seconds after launch.
  • Right in your game menu. Icon, preview film and background in the XMB.

🐛 Tons of bugs fixed

  • Trees, flags and herring stand where the courses have them; on most courses they were misplaced or outside.
  • No crash on Triangle (back onto the course) any more.
  • Penguins neither drive into each other nor stop with a gap between them.
  • No trench of snow on ice, no slope that turns from ice to snow in one frame, no wind dial over the screen's edge.
  • Saving works on a real PSP; the clock and every menu text are right.

Tested on PSP-1000 (6.61 + ARK, 333 MHz): 1,486 automated starts with races, menu walks, random keys and resets while loading. Measurements and limits.
