GAMEPLAY

You're a pilot of a B-17 bomber in 2nd World War. After you're shot down by German fighters,
you crash land through some sort of time hole in a strange world, where both dinosaurs and humans
live. The first thing you have to do is save a princess; she's your companion throughout the game.
The game itself is a mixture of jump and run and adventure; on most screens you have to think and
watch first before you do anything.

GAMEPLAY
-------
The sequel to Nicky Boom; this time Nicky must find out who has been removing ladders and
blocking off caves in his homeland. The gameplay is essentially platform, with multi-directional
maze-like levels. Beating the obstructions requires occasional brainwork – hidden ladders
are easy enough to uncover, and there are lots of hidden sections to look for. The levels are
colourful, and the game has a cute look making it appear suited to younger players. Mirrors are
placed around the levels, which transport you to a random place.
Although, save-game / level codes are currently not implemented, there are "secret" button combos,
which enable a player to jump to next level and get bombs as well as other goodies.

GAMEPLAY
-------
The player controls 'Nicky', a little boy who embarks on an adventure through a fantastical land to
find an elixir to save his grandfather from a spell cast on him by the evil sorceress Zoldrane.
Nicky can walk, jump, and in an original theme can throw apple cores to defend himself against
the monsters occupying the levels. Aside from throwing apple cores, the player can pick up other
items to throw at enemies such as bouncy balls and logs. The logs can also be used to build bridges
at certain parts of the levels.
Nicky is able to jump on enemies to defeat them, which is often more difficult but lets the
monsters drop point items to collect. When jumped on, some enemies such as giant snails will
split into multiple smaller versions of themselves.
The game consists of 8 levels based on 4 separate themes including a swamp, dark forest and a castle.
Although, save-game / level codes are currently not implemented, there are "secret" button combos,
which enable a player to jump to next level and get bombs as well as other goodies.

Art has released a modified version of Map this, heres the full details:
Hi Guys,
Here is a slightly modified Deniska's MapThis! 0.5.20.
First of all, this package is only the replacement EBOOT.PBP file.
Download the full program with support files here: http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/mapthis-0...sps-79825.html
Then you can use this by swapping out the EBOOT.PBP file with that provided in the package attached via comments:
The modified version is the 1.00/1.50 version.
Modifications by Art are as follows:
- Startup Splashscreen is not shown.
- Map named "_Default" is always auto loaded at startup reguardless of config setting.
- HOME button can be used to exit.
The startup map option appeared to me to be broken, so the auto load for this version is always on, it is not optional, so make sure you name your most often used map to "_Default", then you can select other maps later as usual with the SELECT button. Lastly, it's always annoyed me that the HOME button has never worked. The HOME button will instantly exit.
BINIAX2PSP v1.0
---------------
This is a PSP adaptation of BINIAX2,
a fast-paced puzzle game by Jordan Tuzsuzov (http://www.biniax.com)
GAMEPLAY
--------
Biniax-2 is a game of logic and reaction. The 3 game modes allow you to play against the time,
pure tactical play or challenge with a friend in a multiplayer game.
GAME RULES: The player moves a single element around a field of pairs of elements. You can take a pair if it
contains your element. When a pair is taken, player's element becomes the other element of the
taken pair. Sometimes the field is scrolling down (the scrolling elements can push you down)
and the goal of the game is to stay as long as possible on the board.
You play as a 9 year old boy in a game about his absolute dream: a world made of candies!
Your role is to guide Nikwi through all the 30 levels, eat all the candies in each level
and avoid the monsters and the hazards that each level has. Nikwi has a talent on jumping
high - although his falls are not as good as he would like - and this is his only armor
against the monsters which try to turn his dream into a nightmare.
INSTALLATION
----------
The game will only work on 1.0,1.5 and custom PSP firmwares.

Some people reported problems running this game through eloader on slim PSPs and requested a 3.xx firmare version, so here it is...
This is a PSP adoptation of Hex-A-Hop, a great puzzle game, based on hexagonal tiles, by Tom Beaumont.
The objective is simply to destroy all the green hexagonal tiles on each of the 100 levels. As you progress through the game, more types of tiles are introduced which makes things more difficult and interesting (hopefully).
Update: [01/18/08] OpenTyrian_PSP_1.0 released. - support for 3.xx FW & slim PSPs
- based on the latest (689) revision of OpenTyrian
- latest source code included
Update: [01/04/08] OpenTyrian_PSP_09 patch released.
- music volume increased
- Christmas mode activation dialog added
- based on the latest (674) revision of OpenTyrian
(Download via comments)
Update: [12/27/07] OpenTyrian_PSP_08 patch released.
- some tweaks in music emulation code resulting some speedup
- based on the latest (647) revision of OpenTyrian
- better OSK support
Update: [12/12/07] OpenTyrian_PSP_07 patch released.
- basic OSK support. Hit [Right Trigger] to enter key entry mode. Use UP/DOWN to change the character, then press Right Trigger again to exit.
Now you should be able to access super arcade modes and some additional texture modes..
Update: [12/06/07] OpenTyrian_PSP_06 patch released. (download via comments)
- ~10% speed increase due to new rendering routine.
- better smoothing/scaling in full-screen mode
-original size mode fixed
- data cubes text scroll fixed
- black screen on startup bug hopefully gone
- fixed the startup title screen animations
- slightly better key handling in main menus.. still needs some work
To install, just overwrite the EBOOT.PBP from 0.5 version with the patched one
