If you, like most of the QJ writers, find it hard to get out of bed in the morning waking up to a days work - whether it be administrative, physical, or school work - then why not wake up to something a little more fun. Mexicansnake has today popped by our forums to tell us of a new release of his - the PSPirate's Alarm Clock. The difference with this alarm clock is that you're not only greeted by a friendly tune, but a video game as well.

Not satisfied with just waking you up in the morning, this application/game hybrid wakes you up to a mellow song, then starts up a single player game of PSPirates! This version includes animations, an analog clock, digital clock, date, PSP version spoof, battery level indicator, and much more. You can download the alarm clock and game from via the DL link below.

Update: For those of you having issues with running this application on PC, this is because the application reads the flash0 of the PSP and therefore only works on the PSP. Do not try using it on Lua Player for Windows as you will just be greeted with an error message. And PSP users, this only reads the flash0 and does no flashing at all, so there is no chance of a brick!

Yeah, we were wondering about that quirky little detail. Apparently the previous version of PSPirates had a little bug in it. Good thing the PSPMex team was able to squash it out fast. They've released an update to their homebrew game, and as coder Mexicansnake says, it's pretty much the same version as the last, but now with the bug is fixed.

In PSPirates v5c, you can now access the awards that you get in the game and view them in the "Gallery" section. The previous release somehow wasn't able to show the unlockables, and now, it sort of works like a save state. That's how the they got around into tweaking it. Mexicansnake stresses that this is "just a bug fix release," but see, it's the type of little bug that when fixed makes the whole game that much better.

As for future releases of this insanely fun button-masher of a game, the team is planning to create a new story mode, complete with the ability to sail your ship through areas of a new map, a treasure chart mode, night mode, more graphics, sounds, and animations.

Merry Christmas, ye scallywags! Thought ye be gettin' by the holidays without another update by the PSPMex team? Anchors away and get ye dirty hands on the deck! Time for some button mashing! Team leader Mexicansnake just released PSPirates v4 beta over at our forums. Aside from correcting some code, they've also added two new game modes, new secrets (hmmm...), and a new screen at the credits menu. To access the new game modes, in the game selector menu:

• Select and down to play the new Sink Mode.
• Start and down to play the new Madness Mode.

The main goal of Sink Mode is to throw rocks until your enemy's ship sinks. You can dodge him to make him lose stability and just press triangle to recover stability. As for Madness Mode, all you need to do is shoot as fast you can, avoiding to hit your pals. They might seem pretty simple, but they get complicated real fast with all the button-mashing.

On behalf of the rest of the team - Rikardo_92 (gallery coder), Deanaw22 (artist), Xploren (artist) - Mexicansnake is taking your suggestions for future versions. He's promising more game modes, animations, and room for improvement.

Note: If you're looking for the usual download link, try again later. We're still working on downloading the file but the site just won't cooperate for now. Dont' worry, you can still grab the download by going to our forums as linked below!
