Gnarly Pong - Image 1


Oh, no, it's not just any kind of Pong. It's Gnarly Pong. And how different is it from the bajillion homebrew Pong clones we've seen out there? Well, for one, Gnarly Pong isn't much a game as it is actually more of a demo.

Gnarly Pong from a_noob (who we know from the past has made some other trippy homebrew projects) doesn't have any function, really. You can't play it. Launching it on your PSP simply gives you lots of pretty images. Umm, sorry, gnarly images, I mean.

See, it's a demo of a Gear Works Engine, showing it in action. The pong paddles on the screen are controlled via AI vs AI, with saturated colors stretching around the screen. Yeah, definitely gnarly.

For all intents and purposes, you can use it as some sort of screensaver if you want (I'm thinking... it could probably work with Art's XMB Screensaver tool, though I haven't tested this idea out yet). But for now, just check it out and see for yourself.

Yes this works great as a screen saver!! except you have to press Home button to exit, no big deal...

Can't it already? Press Triangle and I'm sure there's a repeat function in the video menu.

i should have been more specific. I meant an eboot file like PMF player that can be used with the screensaver plugin. i cant seem to find one. pmf player will run a PMF file one time but then reboot the system... :(
