PSPTetris - Play Tetris on your 2.7 Firmware PSP!

Tetris


Well, blame E3. joeySMiTH from our forums had released PSPTetris in our forums a few days back. But during all the E3 madness, it somehow skipped our radar.

Anyways, on to the news. He has released a flash based game specially for PSPs running the new 2.7 firmware. The installation is pretty simple:

Extract tetris.swf to the root of your Memory Stick. (Not the MP_Root Folder!)
Open your PSP Browser, and type in file:/tetris.swf in the address bar.


You also put it in a folder and enter the exact path in the browser. And bookmark it, so that you don't have to type it again and again.

The gameplay is very intuitive. Use the Directional Pad to control the pieces.

» root folder

so where exactly is the "root" folder? Does the browser actually have to be connected to the interent for the game to work? thanks

For a second there I thought 2.7 had been hacked XD

The root is the actual drive which you double click on in My Computer...

Dont put it inside any folder.

probabley a good job i sent the tip or QJ wouldnt have noticed it



It looks like such a cool game but im using 2.6 : )

by Sim - 2006-05-14 05:25
» U have 2 have this 2.7

This game is the best game 4 2.7 flash so far. It is very addictive and shapes are very colurful. Worth downloading 2.7 ppl.



Games appear 2 be the only good thing that has come out of the flash player. Kepp them coming!!

by makarman - 2006-05-14 06:04
» Great!

2.7 really needs more games like this. This is an excellent game... very polished for a Flash game.



Anybody have any Lua games in particular that they'd like me to remake in Flash?

by psxer2600 - 2006-05-14 06:06
» No thanks...

" It is very addictive and shapes are very colurful. Worth downloading 2.7 ppl."



Yes, what an I thinking, playing SNES on my PSP - I should be playing a flash version of Tetris. I'm going to download 2.7 right away!



Genius.

» Hah,

" It is very addictive and shapes are very colurful. Worth downloading 2.7 ppl."

Ya when I'm sitting on a 1.5 psp theres no what in hell im upgrading. Want to know why?

N64

Neogeo

Gameboy

GBA

Nintendo

Super Nintendo

Sega Genisis

All could be played on a psp.

Not to mention LEGALLY backedup iso's.

Lets trade all that for a flash tetris game when there is already a tetris for 1.5+!

WHERE THE HELL IS THE ROOT OF THE MEMORY CARD!

by . - 2006-05-14 07:06
» .

the root is the base folder, like your hdd's C:\



@6: yeah hhehehee its taking too long for someone to find some kind of security hole on any of the several new features...



iso emulation (or any kernel thing) might be near impossible, but i cant accept the fact normal stuff like emulators are not possible =`] only time will tell... hehehe

by makarman - 2006-05-14 07:13
» 2.7 has its advantages

There are a lot of great PSP games that are coming out in the near future that I'd happily trade homebrew for. I realize that there are a lot of systems that can be emulated, but I've played those games many a time. Personally, I prefer new games. Flash games provide a little extra when there's a drought of new official games.

I'M ANNOYED!!!!!!



I TYPE IN THAT THING IN MY INTERNET ADRESS BAR AND IT SAYS THE CONTENT CANNOT BE DISPLAYED!



WHERE DO I PLACE THE ****ING FILE? I TYPE THAT THING IN TWICE AND IT DIDN'T WORK! IT'S ANNOYING TO TYPE IT IN SO I'M PISSED.



WTF DO I DO! : |

"Worth downloading 2.7 ppl" I guess he is refering to 2.7 users. Like is worth downloading, 2.7 users.

» questions

i think my last post got deleted or didnt send.

anyways, is there any way you could load an eboot loader like from flash, like a flash emulator of the computer one?

by J to the J - 2006-05-14 08:26
» Eek

Although this isn't an exploit, I bet Sony will get annoyed at us playing non-internet Flash content and block it soon!

Either that or they'll find an exploit and beat us to it.

Either way, my 2.7 PSP likes this Tetris =)

Its loaded up but nothing happens, it shows the screen but not tiles start falling.

After seeing this I am now considering upgrading. More flash based homebrew will come out in the future. If I upgrade I will be able to play the latest games and Tetris!! Cool, keep it up guys :)

you can play this from your computer, you don't need to be connected to the internet to play (except to activate flash player)

» omgz0rz!

omg WTF!!11111111111111111111



So we HACKED 2.70 ALREADY? can I use eLoader to run more homebrew or is just this tetris game for now.

btw its strange i always tought Hello World would be teh first homebrew.



Anywayss keeps it up all hax0rz!

Great progress so far.

by Abdullah Rathur - 2006-05-14 12:46
» I have a question...

I have a question to ask. Before I ask, I just want to say that I know NOTHING about how to make homebrew programs for the PSP. My question is, is it possible to make ISO loaders (only to play games you legally own) and emulators (like snes or n64) using nothing but flash, making them bootable on a v2.7 PSP? I'm very sure homebrew makers have already thought of this and tried it, but I was just wondering.

by nobody - 2006-05-14 12:48
» read...

Read something but the headline. It's just a flash game that is playable via the browser, as the 2.7 browser has a flash player built in. This doesn't take advantage of any exploits whatsoever. This has nothing to do with eloader or any other PSP homebrew.

by joeySMiTH - 2006-05-14 12:51
» #39 and #40

to #39 and #40, this is not a hack, its just a flash game. #40, u just made me think of sumthing! ill try it and let you know.

by Abdullah Rathur - 2006-05-14 13:00
» This is to joeySMITH

I just wanted to say that I understand that this is NOT a hack, but just a Macromedia Flash-based ".swf" game. I just wondering if it were possible to use just Macromedia flash to make some type of emulator. Again, I know this is not a hack, but just a flash GAME. Also, what did I just make you think about, if you don't mind my asking?

by Wow - 2006-05-14 13:05
» r

Thanks....

I couldn't get Homebrew to work, so I upraded my PSP, and then I figured out how to download Homebrew so I was really pissed off.

Then I found this, so, yeah!

I still get to play Homebrew games with the upgrade!

Thank you.

I hope you can make some more games.

» txt files same way

you can read a txt file like a book in the same way the only difference is instead of an swf you save your book or word document as a txt in the main folder then enter file:/___.txt the underscore being your txt file name

» Competition, big.

Hello everybody out there. Or maybe under current circumstances "Hello World" might be more appropriate. At this very moment I have decided to hold a competition to see who the best coders out there are. I would like everybody who knows *2.7* coding to compete. So far I have 11 people competing. The winner will be declared the current best psp coder. The games will be judged by everyone who wishes to join in.

i dont have anyway of getting online with my psp and i was wondering if u play this game without a wireless intrernet connection?

by joeySMiTH - 2006-05-14 14:03
» grr. READ THiS DANG iT!

Yo, a few things im going to say after reading these comments.



1.) YES you can play this offline.

2.) You put the .swf foile directly to your memory card, not in ANY folders, hence this is called the "root" folder.

3.) Im working on PSPSolitaire, but i stoped working on it starting to day because im trying to find an exploit.

4.) It's posisble to run external files from flash, so im working on getting that to work before i come out with PSPSolitaire.

5.) Does anyoen know what operating system the PSP uses? this will be helpful in a few ways

6.) thanks for all the compliments

7.) if you can't get this to work and you have a 2.7 PSP then try activating your flash player in the system menu (note: you need wireles sinternet to activate it.) If you still can't ge tit to work, then im very sorry that you have a mental illness.





Thanks.

refer to this post (http://forums.qj.net/showpost.php?p=643770&postcount=53) by .EPixx. or whatever. my response to that is as follows:



lol hows it feel to be wrong? that game is similar to mine, yeah, i used some of the code from there, but only a minute bit. If your going to call me a cheat and a liar, i sugest you download that source code and try to remake my game. i bet you find it impossible.







PS- the only code i took from that dude is the animation when you get a line. Its nto as simple as just moving the blocks around. LMAO. i ask ANYONE to download that source code, and if they can recreate the program i made, then ill give them $50 via paypal. (and ill have however many people veiw this comment as witnesses)

Oh and I totally agree with Abdullah Rathur and joeySMiTH, i'v been thinking there has to be an exploit or something in the browser or the flash eversinse it came out.

by dtom2444 - 2006-05-14 22:24
» sharing with y'all

yea u could save the .swf files onto the root of the mem card and access them through the browser even when offline. i already have like 200+ files saved on my mem card. anyone know how i could upload the files to share the games and movies with all you guys? email them to qj.net maybe and have them link the files???

by Tom - 2006-05-15 04:11
» Use circl0 or square to start

Dont know how hard this would be but is there any chance you could make it so that it uses the circle buttong to start and pause or even square, as with a japenese psp pressing cross causes your psp to ask if you want to close the web browser and I really want to play it.

Thanks

what button does a japanese psp use as a mouse click when using the browser? whatever button that is, it sevres as the x-button in this game.
