Mega Drops 1 & 2

[daaa57150]

Hi,

I just recently discovered PPSSPP, and since I developped some homebrews for the PSP back in the days, I had to try them. And they work great, it's so cool that I can play them on my PC and my Mac ^_^.

So I saw there is a Homebrew Store, maybe we could add them in it? They work perfectly on a Windows 7 PC and a recent Mac, with the latest PPSSPP version to date (1.2), that's all I can test.

The game is a musical puzzle game, I made 2 iterations, see the attachments.

There are also a few videos on youtube (played on a real device and low quality):


There are more of them but I'm not allowed to embed more than one, sorry...

Is this the right place to ask for my games to be in the store?

They can be downloaded here:
- daaa57150.free.fr/PSP/mega_drops.zip
- daaa57150.free.fr/PSP/mega_drops_2.zip

I also have a very old homebrew that worked on 1.5 firmwares, based on lua player, but this one just doesn't work. It's not surprising I guess since even on a real PSP with a firmware above 1.5 it didn't work anymore.

Mega Drops 2 works fine on my Android device Nexus 7 - Speed varies a lot though in game, laggy in places.
Sadly exiting out of the game crashes PPSSPP on latest nightly build - v1.2-11-g2a77ab7.
Tried all sorts of settings that I know that improve speed, but makes no difference.

Great game by the way, thanks for sharing. ?

Looks cool! I will add it shortly.

Thanks for testing, too bad there are places where it lags.

Added! Nice games!

If you know any other nice homebrew games that deserve a spot, let me know.

I tried to install them from the store but they both make PPSSPP crash, Mega Drops doesn't even load and Mega Drops 2 has weird sound issues and crashes when trying to play. I checked a few text files and they are weird, might be some unzipping issues?
For example: MegaDrops/res/i18n/en/PDR4C_menu.properties contains the text below. It starts with the real content, then a lot of gibberish and then maybe some clue. This is on my mac.

Code:

Huh, it worked correctly on my PC. I will have to take a look...

I hid the games from the store for now.

[Henrik]

So the problem is a bug in the ZIP extraction in PPSSPP 1.2.1 and earlier.

There will be a fix in 1.2.2, and when that has been out for a bit, I'll put the games up again

Mega Drops 2 crashed emulator on revision 1.4.2-266. Here's debugged logs.

Nice!
