Tetris


Well, blame E3. joeySMiTH from our forums had released PSPTetris in our forums a few days back. But during all the E3 madness, it somehow skipped our radar.

Anyways, on to the news. He has released a flash based game specially for PSPs running the new 2.7 firmware. The installation is pretty simple:

Extract tetris.swf to the root of your Memory Stick. (Not the MP_Root Folder!)
Open your PSP Browser, and type in file:/tetris.swf in the address bar.


You also put it in a folder and enter the exact path in the browser. And bookmark it, so that you don't have to type it again and again.

The gameplay is very intuitive. Use the Directional Pad to control the pieces.

For a second there I thought 2.7 had been hacked XD

The root is the actual drive which you double click on in My Computer...
Dont put it inside any folder.

 » U have 2 have this 2.7

This game is the best game 4 2.7 flash so far. It is very addictive and shapes are very colurful. Worth downloading 2.7 ppl.

Games appear 2 be the only good thing that has come out of the flash player. Kepp them coming!!

 » Great!

2.7 really needs more games like this. This is an excellent game... very polished for a Flash game.

Anybody have any Lua games in particular that they'd like me to remake in Flash?

 » No thanks...

" It is very addictive and shapes are very colurful. Worth downloading 2.7 ppl."

Yes, what an I thinking, playing SNES on my PSP - I should be playing a flash version of Tetris. I'm going to download 2.7 right away!

Genius.

" It is very addictive and shapes are very colurful. Worth downloading 2.7 ppl."
Ya when I'm sitting on a 1.5 psp theres no what in hell im upgrading. Want to know why?
N64
Neogeo
Gameboy
GBA
Nintendo
Super Nintendo
Sega Genisis
All could be played on a psp.
Not to mention LEGALLY backedup iso's.
Lets trade all that for a flash tetris game when there is already a tetris for 1.5+!

WHERE THE HELL IS THE ROOT OF THE MEMORY CARD!

   by . (Unregistered) - 2006-05-14
 » .

the root is the base folder, like your hdd's C:

@6: yeah hhehehee its taking too long for someone to find some kind of security hole on any of the several new features...

iso emulation (or any kernel thing) might be near impossible, but i cant accept the fact normal stuff like emulators are not possible =`] only time will tell... hehehe

   by makarman - 2006-05-14
 » 2.7 has its advantages

There are a lot of great PSP games that are coming out in the near future that I'd happily trade homebrew for. I realize that there are a lot of systems that can be emulated, but I've played those games many a time. Personally, I prefer new games. Flash games provide a little extra when there's a drought of new official games.

I'M ANNOYED!!!!!!

I TYPE IN THAT THING IN MY INTERNET ADRESS BAR AND IT SAYS THE CONTENT CANNOT BE DISPLAYED!

"Worth downloading 2.7 ppl" I guess he is refering to 2.7 users. Like is worth downloading, 2.7 users.

 » questions

i think my last post got deleted or didnt send.
anyways, is there any way you could load an eboot loader like from flash, like a flash emulator of the computer one?

 » Eek

Although this isn't an exploit, I bet Sony will get annoyed at us playing non-internet Flash content and block it soon!
Either that or they'll find an exploit and beat us to it.
Either way, my 2.7 PSP likes this Tetris =)
