PSP Revolution v0.2


DeNitro and Devin923, from our forums, have released the latest version of one of the greatest PSP homebrew games, PSP Revolution. PSP Revolution is based off the popular Stepmania game, and received outstanding support and positive remarks from the community. The first release was revealed back in November, and about half a year later we received the next great installment of this game! As the famous saying goes, better late than never! This long break in development came when time was tight for the developers, but the resulting product is outstanding.

PSP Revolution v0.2 features theme support finally, something which many have been wishing for since the first release. The new theme support is the focus of the new version, and hopefully we will see some outstanding themes by our users! When you fist play the game, you will be greeted by the same look and feel as the first version allowing for easy adaptation into the new version. However, it is recommended that you do a complete install (do not just copy the new files over the old ones) of this game due to a new file structure.

One great thing I liked about this version was that I saw a song I recognized from my High School French class - Un Monde Parfait (A Perfect World). It was my teacher's favorite song, and the animation in the music video was excellent as well. However, it happens to be one of the hard songs to play, which left me disappointed, seeing how I am horrible at these games.


The entire change log for this great game is below -


(NEW)
  • Added theme support for loading custom graphics
  • Added an options menu to the song select screen (accessible by pressing SQUARE)
  • Arrow Speed Modifiers available in the song options menu (see above)
  • Preliminary support for song Freezes (Like in Sandstorm)
  • OGG Music files are now supported
  • JPG Background files are now supported
  • Beginner "feet" color added
  • Music preview plays for selected song at song select screen
  • Marathon songs are now supported
  • Letter grades are now awarded at the song score screen

(CHANGE)
  • Song difficulty selection is now sorted easiest(left) to hardest(right)
  • Holds are now active a little longer after button release
  • Song select screen now scrolls the list with more than 18 entries
  • Missed steps now are now counted as soon as they go out of "boo" range
  • Combo numbers are now outlined for more definition
  • Top arrows are lit up to match the song's beat
  • Game now runs at the default CPU speed (222mhz) (reduces battery usage)
  • Graphics mode now 32-bit
  • Combo counter during gameplay now displays up to 4 digits
  • Putting the PSP into suspend mode during a song will return game to main menu when resumed
  • MP3's (along with OGG's) are now streamed from the Memory Stick during play
  • Speed improvement when flipping through song lists
  • Much improved error handling throughout the game
  • Support for a wider variety of song banners (will rotate/resize them into place)
(FIX)
  • Increased Song Compatibility
  • Changed how arrows are synced
  • Arrow's should no longer "drift" slightly out of sync during the duration of a song
  • Fixed reading of interlaced PNG files which would previously crash song select screen
  • Fixed rare cases of broken hold notes
  • Fixed rare case of songs missing the first couple of steps
  • Fixed bug where holds very close to a step on same column being hit with the step hit
  • Fixed missing difficulty text during game and score screen
  • Pressing several buttons at once no longer crashes song select screen
  • No longer need to change the folder name for v2.0+ Eboot Loaders
  • Fixed a small memory leak which could cause crashes after numerous songs are played.
  • Fixed a bug where arrows would stop coming up during gameplay
  • Other minor bug fixes

Thanks a lot! I've been waiting for a new release! I especially like the song grades now, so I can show off to my friends =P. I also like the JPG support, most of my song BGs are JPG (Too lazy to convert xD).

I hope the developers are reading this.

Maybe eventually you will be able to implement different arrow colors so you can tell the difference between 1/4, 1/8, etc notes? That would be fantastic!

 » Not that hard

That's not that hard to do. I can do it and I've had only 2 months practice. Just keep trying. If you set your mind to it, you can get AAA on everything. I usually play 10 - 15 step and get AAA.

Also, this is great! Keep up the great for this this. I have been playing stepmania for a long time, and on the psp my hands hurt so much more. >_>
Please keep the updates coming, maybe different noteskins so this can be much more DDR-like, and also some more mods (like up to 3x) and also the C mods would be great! Thanks again for this.

 » Dancing Monkeys

Does anybody know how to get steps generated by Dancing Monkeys to work on this? I've downloaded songs others have made and they work. But when I tried a song in mp3 format with the sm file made by dancing monkeys, it froze. It always does. Do I have to have backgrounds or something?
