Homebrew developer PSPdemon recently made an interesting discovery regarding N64 game Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and N64 emulator for the PlayStation Portable Daedalus. The video clip below shows how he was able to access the test or debug areas.

PSPdemon wrote, "I mainly wanted to see if it could run at all, and what would the framerate be. And to my suprise, it ran pretty well on the debug rooms. I tried sound with it. and i was shocked - a framerate between 15-24 fps with sound and the sound wasn't even half that bad!"

The developer also added that room 125 is also accessible on the said emulator. Lastly, PSPdemon mentioned that he will be looking at a few other games and try to find out the same. In the mean time, just enjoy the video clip!

 

We're betting the moment you said more, you didn't actually think it would come this soon. Exactly one week ago, we announced the release of ThrottleX Mod v.2. And what do you know, PSPDemon comes out today with v.3! This time, PSPdemon adds orange glows and vibrant greens, aptly calling the release Neonic World Texture Pack.

ThrottleX v.3 is very easy to install. Just place the images into the resource folder and you are ready to go. The pack contains the following as well: Tiles, Car Skin, Tire Skin, Power Up images, Jet Gauge, Jet Particle and Numbers. Though the game is working a-ok already, minor issues with the sound files are sometimes encountered. According to PSPDemon, the next upgrade would take a while because of this.

ThrottleX v.3 is available for download below. Also, developer PSPdemon wishes to thank everyone for their support and would be delighted to hear comments and suggestions for future improvements.

How much did you enjoy playing with Zion's Legend of Hyrule: Linkens Quest v1.0 when it came out last month? Double that, and that's how much you'll enjoy v2.0. How about, how much you can't believe it's coded in LUA? Double that as well and add boisterous shouts of "LUA Represent!" everytime your character moves an inch, and that's how much you'll be in awe this time around.

Changelog:

• New Chat/Conversation window
• Cutscenes/story is in
• Attacking Animation
• Enemies With Ai
• Ability to kill a enemy and be Killed by a enemy yourself
• Rupees
• Ability to Purchase things from the shop
• Dungeon level added
• Fully Functional Menu
• More Sound Effects
• Animals

• Object Collision

  

As you can imagine a project like this needs a skillful crew. Zion extends his warmest thanks to PSPDemon for the amazing graphics, Soulkiller for providing the dramatic fade during the storyline's presentation, wolfpack for the sprites and sounds, RPG Maker for the additional sprites, and what would developers be without devoted Beta testers? Our hats off to Videofreak and Malkster.

PSPdemon has released ThrottleX Mod v.2. With this latest update, fans of the homebrew game will be delighted with several changes, which include: a new Editor interface look, a new Replay interface look, 3 new maps which are called TheClimb, LuckyJet, and MazeofTrouble. 

Those who'll find the MazeofTrouble quite difficult, the key is to know how to properly spin in mid air. With lots of practice, you'd find yourself thinking that the map is really easy. He also added that TheClimb and LuckyJet are two basic maps where proper way of jetting into corners and climbing can be mastered. These are the techniques needed to survive the MazeofTrouble.

PSPDemon also added more choices between car skins, wheel textures and tile textures. More changes will come later on in the mod. We can look forward to music, different sounds, more maps, and more choices between tile textures and wheel textures. They will come in packs later on, unless ThrottleX creator Anonymous Tipster comes out with a new version.

PSPdemon has released a texture mod for AnonymousTipster's popular homebrew racing puzzle ThrottleX v0.3. This makes no modifications to the physics or actual gameplay of the original ThrottleX v0.3 (which to be honest is near perfect), but it changes the graphics to make them look a little snazzier. PSPdemon's ThrottleX mod includes new textures, a new menu and a new eboot to change the graphics you see in the PSPs XMB. Just take a look at some of the screenshots and you'll see what we mean.

 

If you can't remember the full list of features in ThrottleX v0.3 we suggest you head over here and take a look. The list is so big we don't think we'd fit it into this article. Remember, this mod changes nothing relating to gameplay so you can still enjoy your original ThrottleX v0.3, just with some different textures. In the future releases of ThrottleX mod you will see:

• More Car Skins
• More Level Textures
• More Wheel Textures
• Maybe a revamped editor

Future-Resurrection by Zion has undergone a lot of significant changes since he came out with version 1.3. The game is now a 2D sidescrolling hack and slash adventure instead of an RPG type of game. Overhaul is an understatement eh?

First in a series of changes, we now know more about the storyline of the game. Previously referred to as "the character in a coma," Rick Valentino, will awake in the year 3000, finding out that everything he once knew has been changed by the evil Tanra Corporation. He vows to stop Tanra and restore the world to how it was once. Second are the graphics. If you noticed, Rick has also been made over to a sword-wielding-chap compared to the just-standing-chap. Also the background has changed from a countryside villa to a haunting dark castle. Even the menu has been given a face-lift.

Changelog:

• Entirely different game (lol)
• Animation
• AI
• Character interaction
• Character deaths
• Music
• Menu
• Enemies

Huge changes there. I suggest if you liked or hated this game, you give it a go, because its not the same game anymore. And its playable (To an extent). Most of the menu gfx was done by crimson lotus pspdemon edited it for me.

We previously mentioned that zion has the potential to be one of the better developers out there. While some may have met this prediction with skepticism, he's determined to make these doubting thomases give him a 'thombs' up. We hate to brag but it seems the foresight we've concocted back at the QJ's halls of alchemy is slowly materializing as he released this very promising game - his first version of Legend of Hyrule: Linkens Quest.

Perhaps motivated by people downplaying the wonders of the lua platform, zion said this project is a "prime example of what can be achived in lua coding if you put the time and effort in" it. And boy did they put "time and effort" in this one. According to him, he and PSPDemon (gfx designer) worked for '6 all-dayers and all-nighters to get this done'. Considering it took two and a half weeks to finish, these guys really must be tired; another reason why they deserve our gratitude as this is all done for us - free.

The role-playing homebrew really flaunts the quality of a 21-day project. Link's interaction with the other characters are notable, graphics are crisp, sprite's movements are fluid, words are well-thought off, and it even has some functional stores for Link to purchase weapons and other goodies. We wouldn't have thought it was created in lua if zion hadn't said so himself. If this is just the first level, we're very raring to try the upcoming stages.

For someone who codes full-time and still manages to create simple yet fun games during a fifteen-minute break, zion really is fast becoming someone. So we here at the Kingdom of QJ dub thee, zion, as the "Master of Motivation"; arise and follow the path you're set to take - the road to respect and recognition.
