Snake Ported to Firmware 2.8

Snake for firmware 2.80

Ever since Noobz's firmware 2.0-2.8 SDK was released, there's been a slow and steady trickle of homebrew games coming in for firmware 2.70- 2.80. We started with Tetris... Then TIFF Pong... Then TIFF Tron. Now, let's add another one to that list. Youresam just ported Shine's Snake game to a compatible version for 2.80 users and it makes also use of the TIFF exploit.

You guys can download the file below. Inside the .zip folder are two folders: one for the game, another containing the source code. To install and play the game, here's one way to do it:

copy the SNAKE folder into your memory stick under PSP/PHOTO/
while the photo icon is highlighted hit the TRIANGLE button
then launch SLIDESHOW

Seems like these homebrews (or home"ports"?) are getting better and better as we progress. Soon enough, who knows how far we can all go with our own games for 2.8 firmware? Keep it up, guys! Whether you're brewing a game or porting it, it's still progress!

i mean, i was just wondering why you guys are making pointless games? we already know the tiff exploit works from the previous one but why not just make an eLOADER? Downgrader persay? i mean come on.. its not just me whos wondering... its all those other people too.. im just saying what they cant say.

@7

read the info that was released with Noobz mini SDK. (Just for you lazy people I'll example) Its not that eazy, an eloader is going to take a lot of time for 2.71-2.80 and since Noobz are so kind to use all 2.71-2.80 users get little fun too.

The SDK was released so devs can give some FREE gifts to 2.70-2.80 users. since they will have a long wait for an eloader. already 3 games released way better then nothing.

# Number 7 is right but — Guest 2006-09-15 20:02

These little homebrew games are still cool but yes an eloader is needed...

# typeo — Guest 2006-09-15 20:06

since Noobz are so kind to us all, 2.71-2.80 users get a little fun too. *

PS: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

# Yo know.. — Guest 2006-09-15 20:32

it would be so cool if they started a devhook program for 2.8 that way we wouldnt have to make all these games ^_^

# i have something coming... — Guest 2006-09-15 20:44

You can expect a Mini-Game pack that will include classics such as these, among others, in a single pack for 2.8 users via the TIFF exploit, all coded from the TIFF SDK up. So far:

- Bricks (Breakout)

- Road

- Space Invaders

- The Matrix (created myself)

- Snake

- Worm

- Labyrinth

- Ogre Chase

- TextTris

- Pong

All by myself at hte time being... So far, they all run on 1.5 via an EBOOT for much faster debugging purposes. Than Ill port it over to the TIFF SDK once I find what library to use along with it (gfx.c/h, graphics.c/h, pg.c/h, all use the GU and the TIFF SDK supports the GU). If anyone is interested in testing since Devhook may prove unrealiable as to compatibility, my AIM is: sg57pimp

# Good Job! — yongobongo 2006-09-15 21:58

Sweet, I wanted this game!

Now all we need is an eLoader!

PS Any expert developers - Could you port a GBA emulator? That would be awesome! =)

# @12 — Guest 2006-09-15 22:04

an sort of eloader of little menu would be fine with your games

# Guest 2006-09-15 22:05

yay

more hb for 2.8

keep it comin

an good luck with ur minigame pak no. 12

# Guest 2006-09-15 22:21

There will be a menu no doubt, since having to restart your PSP just to play another one is inefficient.

# Owwwwwww — Guest 2006-09-16 00:03

Ta chegando a hora de aparecer os primeiros emuladores...

# just keep working — Guest 2006-09-16 01:06

5 games (including pong update) in what... 4 days!

That's a lot... we 2.80 users really apreciate what everyone is doing for us, so just keep working like that, and we will have an eloader really soon.

By the way, good luck with your pack #12.

# good news for 2.8 users — Johnny C 2006-09-16 01:35

well this good news for 2.8 users it shows than more hombrew can be run on this firmware i have to agree with number 4 please stop the first post thing it doesnt prove anything and besides we can already see that your first because your at the top of the list and the number one is next to it anyway 2.8 users keep your hopes up and you may see more soon and hopefully most of you that upgraded have learnt your lesson and wont upgrade anymore (except maybe for the ps1 emulator) and if you ever get to use 1.5 you will treasure it like most us 1.5 users do anyway keep up the good work on developing games for the 2.8 users

# Fun? — Guest 2006-09-16 03:44

Flash games are more entertaining than this, seriously.

# tiff ... Menu? — Guest 2006-09-16 04:12

could it be that to create a combinations of all current tiff games including pong .1 and .2 (i like multiplayer!) and all the other ones in some sort of a menu?

# yay keep up the good work! — Guest 2006-09-16 05:31

Psp 2.8 homebrew has come a long way in just 4 days. hopefully next we will see galaga, frogger and an eloader!

~I am Sigless~ :(

# Guest 2006-09-16 08:29

Thats Great NEWS 'sg57' can't wait!!! Great job on this homebrew! It's the most colourful yet! Works fine :)

# i want this — Guest 2006-09-16 08:36

Galaga would be GREAT :)

# m too — Guest 2006-09-16 08:55

i want galaga and some other games.. i wish i knew how to DEV ... :(

but is a GBA emulator possible through this exploit?

# @#22 — Guest 2006-09-16 09:08

good idea, frogger would be the best. i dont know why but i find it fun. to everyone else: quit talking crap about these games just because they are old. if you were around in the 80s when these games were brand new, everyone would like to play them. sure its been 25 years but it dont change the fact that theyre fun

# Thing — reptie7 2006-09-16 10:41

Well i was looking at psp3d.com and THAT WEBPAGE SUCKS.There games don't work like peguien scramble for 2.80.

# NO PAUSE BUT EASY SHUTOFF!!! — Guest 2006-09-16 11:16

This game have no pause!!but if you press the select button the PSP automatically shutoff!

# ... — Guest 2006-09-16 11:27

Hmm cheese I dont know, uh... MAKE AN eLoader OR DOWNDATER I HAVE WAITED TO LONG

# Snake? — Guest 2006-09-16 11:28

SNAKE? SNAKE?! SSSSSSSSSSSSSNN NNNNNNNNAAAAAAA AAAKKKKKKKKKKKK EEEEEEEEEE!

etc.

# lol — Shadownet 2006-09-16 11:42

Man, the QJ "blogers" are so biased

"hopefully most of you that upgraded have learnt your lesson and wont upgrade anymore "

I come to this site for psp news and realeses. I do care about homebrew, but i care more about real games. Yea people will say that "there aren't any good games" or "i would have sold my psp a long time ago if it wasn't for homebrew" ect. but come on! Are you really going to tell me that super mario ports, bomberman ports, sudoku, and all the other 2d games are anywhere near as good as Wipeout, GTA, Valkyrie Profile, and MGS? I dont think so. I will admit that the emulators are very good (for the ones that are full speed) but i believe i bought a NEW system not a more expensive GBA. I know that people are going to flame me to oblivion, but thats MY opinion and im entitled to it. Its just that im tired of these idiots with 1.5 going "1.5 OWNZ!!!!111 2.8 iS teh SUXXORZZZZ". Yes homebrew is a nice addition, but it should be just that, an ADDITION. An addition to the great games, an addition to a media player, and an addition to a web browser. Yes, if an e-loader comes out for 2.8+, ill use it, but not at the expense of better features. FYI, i have 2 psps one black 2.8 (from 1.5) and one white (jp) 2.71 (from 2.0). So yea when 3.0 or whatever comes out well see what happens to the "scene" when people realize they would rather play a full speed PS1 emulator than waiting for another update for their N64 emulator that work with half the games.

# 31 — eoj711 2006-09-16 13:08

i agree

# Huh? — reptie7 2006-09-16 15:04

Mabey people should add sound to games if it is posiblle

# HMM — Guest 2006-09-16 15:30

i cant wait to see when the eloader will come i have 2.60 and my cuz has a 2.71 im really praying the next release will have kernel mode or some other feature like that uh can some one give me any clue as to when the next verison will come out or IF it will come out * rofl i hope they dont release anything for a month and make us not take them for granted * WELL any clues to when it comes out will help me ;p

# man you need to at least know the material first — Guest 2006-09-16 16:14

The SDK is limited. it might not be possible to put sounds in it or even an e-loader, but dont dout (and dont update to 2.81 or ur a sucker!)

# Guest 2006-09-16 16:19

does this work on 2.81????

# l0l @ 31 — Guest 2006-09-16 22:29

you dont understand and have not seen homebrew. homebrew is far more then emulators. examples

1.) sony limited the video formats and even the format they gave us. With homebrew (PMPMOD AVC) we can encode using the AVC codec @ 480X272 far better then sonys sad limit.

2.) Streaming video need I say more sony lets you buy an over priced streaming server or with homebrew(pimpst reamer) you can stream your videos with no cost.

3.) Streaming music/mp3's sonys rss is very limited as well with homebrew (PSPRadio) we have a great way to stream internet radio. (Sony needs to make some nice free apps since the psp can do so much more then they let it).

4.) Ports - Ports rock and are free and open source. nothing wrong with open source. (Quake1&2).

You don’t understand and have not seen homebrew because of Sony‘s limits. Homebrew is far more then emulators. 5 quick examples

1.) Sony limited the video formats and even the format they gave us. With homebrew (PMPMOD AVC) we can encode using the AVC codec at 480X272 far better then Sony’s sad limit.

2.) Streaming video need I say more Sony lets you buy an over priced streaming server or with homebrew (PiMPStreamer) you can stream your videos with no cost.

3.) Streaming music/mp3's Sony’s rss is very limited as well with homebrew (PSPRadio) we have a great way to stream internet radio. (Sony needs to make some nice free apps since the PSP can do so much more then they let it).

4.) you mentioned Sony’s sad web browser. You know homebrew (link2) has a far better browser.

5.) Ports - Ports rock and are free and open source. nothing wrong with open source. (Quake1&2 / decent / rott / openttd - and many more coming)

6.) PSPToolChain / Luaplayer / Python - learning to code (for some people) is much more fun then playing a new game for a week.

So many others things like devhook emulating Firmware is far better then getting stuck with it. I could go on and on but you don’t care and I don’t blame you, I blame Sony for over limiting all of US.

I could go on and on but you dont care, since you never even got a chance to see homebrew because of sonys limits.

# number 36 — Guest 2006-09-17 04:22

# Huh? — reptie7 2006-09-17 08:27
