PvP Pong - Image 1 PvP Pong - Image 2

If you're an avid reader of our PSP blog, you probably have stumbled across BlackShark's homebrew game, PvP Pong. The game got really good responses which made another coder by the name of Ricz make a football version of the game. So anyway, if you liked the Background Changer in v3, you'll be glad to know that BlackShark has added yet another cool feature to the game...online multiplayer!

Oh yes, v4 now comes packed with NetPlay, along with a bunch of new themes. Just a few notes on the online play though, BlackShark says that he hasn't implemented an online settings "chooser" yet so the only way you'll be able to connect is via the first router that appears on your WiFi settings. Not to worry though, he says that this should be fixed in his v5 release.

Changelog:
  • Added ONLINE MULTIPLAYER
  • Added more backgrounds and Themes
  • fixed menu up a bit
  • Better Credits page
  • and as BlackShark says, "some other stuff im sure"
BlackShark also wants to give a shout out to the following people who helped him in PvP Pong v4: PinkTank and pspfreak9 for the graphics, Evil-Dog (for the eboot music), the Mod Archive (for the Background Music) and Doom 2 (for the menu music), AI for right paddle in single player mode, courtesy of GuitarGod1134, and pspgamer81 for getting him started in Lua. Also, Youresam for most of the Online code and NetLib 2.02 and to Zack Attack for the ideas and suggestions, without whom BlackShark says he might not have updated PvP Pong. And as usual, make sure you check out the readme, alrighty?

Played against the computer for a bit... I can't connect to other people online... it just says connecting - maybe you can't play 'online' as opposed to just over a network connection like ad-hoc? If you can play online... please let me know

nice, glad you guys like it, Im working on a fix for the online code, so don't be worried if the online does not work just yet...

 » no online

Gave me an error...

"Error: No script file found."

So therefore, I cannot play online... sucks.

 » Nice dude!

You should allow people to set the points, to set control sensitivity, to use the analog stick instead of the d-pad (for more control), and to set the computer strength.

Also, the online doesn't work yet.

But this is very cool and shows TONS of potential! Nice job dude.
