Very nice work, zx-81. Chess is one of the best board games in history, and the PSP has lacked one. Thanks!
zx-81, thank you so much for all your development. I use many of your applications and today was delighted in seeing a game I was long wanting. Nice release and looking forward to the updates.
I beat your chess game, when i won it said game over and below that it had said computer has lost. Very good game i enjoyed it alot.
Nice start. Some points:
1) It needs an opening book obviously. It doesn't by any chance read one if it exists in the game directory, does it? 2) Bug: if you choose the option to put black on the bottom of the screen, the king and queen and the letter labels are backwards! 3) A way to adjust the difficulty/time-per-move. 4) Undo. Lots of other things, as I'm sure you know, but those would be the top for me. Keep up the great work.! Hi,
Thanks for your comment. I plan to add those features soon (and fix the bug of backward labels), Thanks, Zx Hi, is there any way I can install this on my current version PSP. So, it is not downgraded.
Any help or answer will be appreciated... Hi,
You need to install a custom firmware to enjoy homebrew stuff ... http://alek.dark-alex.org/pspwiki/index.php/Installing_Custom_Firmware#Installing_M33_Firmware You will need a pandora battery (you can buy one on ebay or on datel site), Zx I have the 4.01 M33 2, now what?
The files in the GAME371 folder under PSP folder does not seem to do anything... I made a folder named GAME401 under the psp folder and put the pspchess folder in there. It does not work...
