Kagato from our forums has released his first homebrew game, Electris, for the PSP. Electris is a Lua game in which you have to align the falling blocks in order to create closed circuits. Don't worry if you make a mistake and can't close the circuit, as large circuits will give you eraser blocks to clean up your mistakes! But beware: If you take too long to make a circuit, an extra row will be added as a penalty.


What's interesting about this game is that you play it with your PSP in the vertical position, making it a completely different experience from playing your run of the mill homebrew games. A great release for a first game. This is a public beta, so there may be some bugs in the game.

Electris works on firmwares 1.5 and 2.0-2.6, as long as you have a working version of Lua Player; which is required to run the game. And before i forget, don't take any advice from me on building circuits - I was hopeless at this game as you can tell by the screenshot!

Download: [Electris 0.1b]

Does it work on 2.0? I thought that the eLoader did not support .prx files? :(

LuaPlayer works, I think Lua Player 0.16 is the best version for 2.0+

It's the latest versions with module support (Thats the prx files) that the eLoader cannot load.

Well, you must obviously be afraid to reveal your identity if you are posting as an Anonymous Coward! Also, I did attempt to run the latest version of Lua Player, with no success.

It might be my copy, but if you press X to get help, it cant find the correct file. Other than that, good game. shows a lot of promise

 » Yes, it works on 2.0+

I left it a couple of months too late when I got my PSP, so I'm stuck with 2.01 (and I'm not upgrading until a better hack comes along!)... so for now at least, anything produced by me will definitely be 2.0+ compatible.

#8: I'll look into it. Check the help/ folder; there should be 10 png files. (This version isn't at all optimised.)
