LUA PlayerFrom our very own forums comes out today another build of an updated version of the Lua Player for Windows. One of our staunch members, Insomniac197, expressed the work and updates that has been done to support v0.20 functions. These things include so far, it being updated to Lua 5.1 and the freetype now being supported.

Also, the file System.rename is now working. Insomniac197 has put in Wlan functions and 3D GU functions, but mentioned not to do anything with it yet. As Shine already brought up the topic of moving Lua Player over to PSPGL, Insomniac197 wishes not to take the 3D any further. System.loadModule and anything to do with it on the other hand, are unlikely to be supported.

LUA Player makes development of games and applications easier and is non-coders friendly. At this point, download is available below for Lua PLayer v0.20. Feedback and bug reports are highly appreciated.

 » Missing DLL?

I'm excited to give this a try but I get an error when I run it:

"This application failed to start because cygfreetpye-6.dll was not found. Re-installing may fix this problem."

I'm going to try a web search for the DLL, but I thought I would give you a heads up.

yup looks like insomniac forgot to include one of the dll's for the freetype font rendering. looks like you better update your package

Not Exactly; it allows you to take native PSP LUA code an run it in windows. There is no debugger/editor/etc built in. When used with a tool like the ConTEXT editor, you can get pretty close though.
