SnakeSP v7.1

SnakeSP has made its rounds awhile back, but its one piece of homebrew that still holds its own. Everyone remembers the classic Snake games that came on cell phones where your goal was to make your "snake" grow as long as possible without dieing.

SnakeSP takes the old concept of the Snake games and updates it. It has a clear influence from flOw, which is seen in both the snake's looks and the fact that the creature can grow in two ways, regular segments and fast segments.

It is unfortunate that the game development was ceased as it had a lot of promise and a few quirks such as too many "size reducers" that you can acquire, which dampens the challenge at times. Regardless, it is definitely still a fun and nice looking game that you can pick up from time to time and waste some hours away.

PSP Content Manager v1.8

June 26, 2008

PSP Content Manager is one the best computer applications you can have on hand to use with your PSP. It basically is a complete organizer for your PSP. It can change the order of anything including homebrew, save data, photos, isos, rss, and bookmarks. This is particularly useful when your homebrew list is getting long and you want to order them in a certain way so you do not have to always go scrolling or searching for certain ones.

One thing to note is that when you download this the homebrew folder may not be setup for the custom firmware that you are on. It will always recognize the GAME folder, but if for instance you want to change the firmware specific folder like GAME380 you have to change it manually.

Follow the steps below:
1. Connect your PSP to your PC.
2. Open PSP Content Manager
3. Go to the Custom Firmware tab.
4. Right click on any of the homebrews
5. Left click on Custom Firmware Setting
6. Change the name and folder accordingly

Now the manager can work with any firmware and can be updated as such. This is definitely a must have application, so waste no time in getting it and start organizing!

Orbid v2

June 11, 2008

Orbid, created by Slasher from Team Duck, is reminiscent of the game flOw, with players taking on the role of a a small orb struggling to survive.

In order to do this, players must eat the smaller orange orbs to gain points. Take note that you must avoid anything larger than you or the process will be reverse and your orb will be their dinner.



Here are the game modes:

  • Normal Mode: Level based, in which each level will become increasingly harder for you to survive.
  • Survival Mode: Survival of the fittest. Survive for as long as possible before you become the enemies dinner.
  • Time Mode: Beat the clock. Eat as many helpless orange orbs as possible. For each one you eat, your timer will +1; and for each set of orbs you eat, you'll recieve a 15 to 20+ random amount of time.
  • Mine Mode: Avoid the mines! Your goal is to eat the helpless small orb each round while avoiding the various scattered mines throughout the map.
  • Dodge Mode: Avoid the roaming orbs! Try to survive for as long as possible.
  • Multiplayer Mode:
    • For playing online against a friend.
    • It uses netlib, so you must set up a netlib server in order to use it. Just change the IP.txt in the data folder to the IP of the server you want to connect to.
Slasher added that the multiplayer mode is still in its early beta stage. As such, the coder cautioned that it may not always work. If you are interested, be sure to read first the documentation that comes with Orbid v2 to know about its controls and more.

Rythm Engine: Rythm Box Mod V2

This here is another great homebrew that mixes a rhythm based game with a shooter. It's a "rhythm shooter" so to speak. The author, Brick, initially started out Rythm Engine: Rythm Box Mod as a DDR clone, but eventually steered away from a conventional key-beat instruction concept and introduced "wall-beat" instructions. You bounce your cube off the flashing walls while keeping in sync with the beat, while also have to deal "shoot" the enemies out to get you. The game comes packed with different degrees of difficulty with enemies, AI, and power-ups.

The game might be a little difficult to play at first, but keep at it and you'll be a pro "rhythm shooter" soon enough.

CTorrent PSP

This one is for all you torrent freaks out there. Danzel, created a port of CTorrent for the PSP. For those of you who don’t know what CTorrent is, it’s a torrent client written in C++ and intended to run on Unix systems.

The functions should work well but Danzel notes that some bugs might be due to the PSP’s limitation. The features supported are fairly minimal (No protocol encryption, https support, peer exchange, etc), so this is good to note if you plan on using it. The PSP networking stack really isn't designed for running torrents, so Danzel has limited peers to 20 to attempt to alleviate this, but it can still cause problems sometimes.


This has been tested and works fine. As mentioned due to the limitation of the PSP it isn't recommended to download any large files.
