PSPGGO changelog

If you love playing classic boardgames from all over the world on your PSP you should send Zx-81 a thank you note. Earlier today he released PSPMancala, an ancienty board game from East Africa. Now he has updated his other homebrew game, PSPGGO to v1.03. We posted a lot of info about the game Go and PSPGGO and you can review them here.

PSPGGO v1.0.3 is considered a minor update with the following changes:

• Support of SGF comments
• Bug fix
• New Game over handler:

o You can go back or save SGF file, even if the game is over
o You have to choose explicitly "new game" to restart a new game

Please read the readme files for details about PSPGGO v1.03.

Zx-81 has dropped by the forums to inform us of his new port for the PSP, PSPGGO. PSPGGO, which stands for PSP GNU-Go. GNU-Go is an ASCII command line GO game running on MacOS X, Windows and many Unix systems. Go originally originated in China and is very popular within East Asia. Having played Go myself (on my Pocket PC), I can venture for its extreme difficulty, and is best played on an electronic device for those impatient people. The object of Go is to remain with the most pieces at the end of the game (when no more pieces can be placed) while taking over your opponent's adjacent pieces.

Zx-81 has ported GNU Go v3.6 to the PSP with a new GUI for the PSP and has confirmed that it's working "fine" on the PSP. The picture above details a standard Go board with several pieces already placed on it. The PSP version of this "board" game interacts in the same way in which GNU Go does on your computer, just modified for the PSP. You can download this great port below -
