Deal or No Deal?Pick a suitcase!

This is the US homebrew version developed by ADePSP. While there are other versions of this game out there, the developer decided to take all the good stuff from those other versions and concocted his own. And this version that he came up with has quality graphics and nonstop background music for nearly every action in the game.

For those who haven't heard of the game show itself, the mechanics are simple:

There are 26 suitcases that contain various amounts of money... You pick one and then open various others revealing what you could have won until the banker phones up and tries to tempt you out of what "might" be in your suitcase with a cash offer... You can choose to accept that or carry on opening cases until you are offered another deal... If you get to the last case then you can choose to keep yours or swap and get the cash in the remaining suitcase instead... The idea is to walk away with the most money you can (obviously)...

This little game works well with FW2.0, 2.01, 2.5 and 2.6 with eLoader and FW1.5 and below. And to install, you just have to take the game folders into your PSP-Games folder.

Controls:

START: Start the game
D-Pad: Move between suitcases
X: Select a suitcase / Skip sound effect
Left Shoulder: "NO DEAL" or "NO SWAP"
Right Shoulder: "DEAL" or "SWAP"
Hold Triangle:Show Highscores

Of course, the game show is not the same on your PSP than it is on the tube. But still, this is one of the better homebrew games we've seen: clean code, clear button configuration, faithful to the game show mechanics. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to work this game out. And it gets addicting, too! If you win the $1,000,000 jackpot prize, kudos to you! You're virtually a million dollars richer! Wo0t!

Yay i loved that show. I have this game for my graphing calculator too. Is the show still on anymore I used to love watching it.

I suggest you hurry in getting this.
PC versions of this game have been taken offline by Endomol, sending developers Cease and Desist letters.

Endomol are creating their own game of it, or something like that. And they say it's in breach of copyright rights.
I don't agree with it, I'm just saying what I've seen happen.

Thank you for developing it though, I do love the game myself. I get to play the US version! ^_^
(Only played the UK one before)

Like the readme says... I made this game because I wanted to play a cool version of Deal or No Deal... If NBC take this long to make it, then they need to know that the PSP is a fan based console and we just might beat them to it...

What the hell, I made no money from this so they can't ask for that back because there wasn't any...?

this game doesn't work on my 2.6,
only 25% of these __SCE__ games work.
they crash my psp after the eloader loads the list....
Why is that? and what is __SCE__ for anyway?

   by BULL3TPR00F - 2006-08-23

the SCE is just another method of renaming the folder so it doesnt show corputed icons. try renaming it with another no corrupt icon method.

I really like this game. Nice and simple. At first I thought there was something wrong with the randomization because for 5 picks in a row, case 17 was $750. But on the 6th try it was .01.

 » For 2.6

I got a member of my forums to confirm it worked with eLoader so it is probably the version of eLoader you are using... Try some different releases maybe...
