For more information on how to install this great TCG simulator, check out the author's discussion of the application at the QJ.NET PSP Development Forums that you can access through the Via link below.

Don't forget to read up on the installation process as well as the different file format the game needs to run by looking at the Readme.txt file that goes with the homebrew game.

Homebrew developer transce08 dropped by QJ.NET PSP Development Forum and released a game called Magic PSP Station. As some of you might have guessed already, this creation concerns itself with the successful TCG Magic the Gathering.

According to the coder, this specific build is compatible with solitaire play and two-player hotseat using any single card set from Magic the Gathering. transce08 added the following details:

Installing involves copying the MPS directory and all of its contents to your choice of GAME directory, depending on your flavor of firmware. MPS was tested on 1.50, 3.40, 3.52 and 3.71 kernels.

Needless to say, you will be needing the full set and themes from a Magic the Gathering deck in MPS format to enjoy this game. We have to remind you that we won't be able to share those files with you because they are copyrighted.

However, the forum link below will lead you to some of the QJ.NET Forum members who have already tried this game and have already found a copy of the TCG's 10th Edition. The coder also added a Readme.txt file with Magic PSP Station to help you get started.
