MinerPSP changelog

It's seems like jsharrad finally dug out of his tunnel of projects by releasing an update to his MinerPSP homebrew game. His last release was months ago, but despite being swamped by this and that project, he's still managed to take a break for some fresh air. And you know what that means...

He's done some reworking to bring his homebrew game to MinerPSP v1.2 now. Here's the changelog:

• Fix: Changed random function to be more random.
• Fix: Resampled some of the sounds for better size and compatability.
• Fix: Included images into the executable for faster transfer to psp.
• Fix: Tweaks to the game mechanics that aren't readily apparent.
• New: Install-o-tron compliant HBINFO.TXT included.

Jsharrad s has released v1.0 of his homebrew game for the PSP, MinerPSP. MinerPSP is based on the game Miner VGA released into the public domain by Harrel W. Stiles in 1989.

You control a miner who's objective is to go underground, collect, and sell valuable materials to win the love of Miss Mimi. She likes rich men but money is not the only thing that will win her heart....

MinerPSP doesn't really fit into a genre, but I would categorize it as an RPG at a push. V1.0 includes all the basic functions of Miner VGA, but jsharrad still has to ad sounds and refine the instructions; which will be released in another version at a later date. Here's a tip for anyone playing MinerPSP: Many rumors are to be heard in the saloon. More tips on MinerPSP can be found here.

MinerPSP comes in 2 versions: One for PSP's with 1.5, and one in 1.0 format for eLoader users.

Jsharrad has released his MinerPSP version 0.0.4. This is a clone of the old DOS game "MinerVGA" back in year 1989.
As a miner, you start out with 00 and can dig as much as you'd like as long as you can afford the earthshaker fee and don't die or run out of cash. The bank and surgery are the only 2 working buildings at the moment, use the bank to cash in your minerals and the surgery for healing. Here are some more details:

Controls:

• Start - forces a restart
• Select - takes a screenshot
• Dpad - move miner (up enters a building)
• Cross - exits buildings
• Triangle - respawns mine at a cost of 00
• Analog - move left/right faster in town

There's still alot to do, like get the rest of the buildings up, add in the inventory for your tools, add the tools, add more mine depth.

I'm interested to know whether this works on 2.xx if someone could test that and let me know, that'd be great. I also welcome comments on spawn rates & walk speeds - too slow? too fast? not enough spawns? let me know
