Aleph One ( Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity ) ported to PSP

December 13th, 2008, 16:44 Posted By: PSPdemon

Mk_BS has released port of Aleph One ( which plays Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity! )

Here's the release notes:

================================
Aleph One PSP 0.1
================================
Ported by Mk - BarrySoft

----------------------
Info
----------------------

This is a PSP port (1.50 kernel only at the moment) of Aleph One I made, sadly it
actually seems to work only with Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity but not with Marathon.
I'm releasing this anyway as Marathon 2 and Infinity should already be fully playable
and I'll try to fix the Marathon issue as soon as I can.

Installation
----------------------

I've included all the required data files
as they are now freely distributable so you should
be ready to go, just copy the provided folders in
your GAME150 folder on your PSP

If for any reason you want to get the data files by yourself
just download the package from http://alephone.cebix.net/ and
create a folder called "data" in your EBOOT directory to put
the files into.

Be aware that without the font resources file that is not included
in the package the game will not start, but you can get the font file
from any package at http://source.bungie.org/get/ just rename the
font file to "Font" and place it in the "data" folder

Thanks

To Bungie for creating such a great game and releasing it free and opensource

To the Aleph One community that made my dream of playing the Marathon Trilogy
without a mac possible

To Jonn Blanchard from RG Softworks for porting Aleph One on the GP2X, the GP2X port really
helped me a lot to understand where i should start

To the whole PSP Development scene for being so active and full of skilled devs

To my girlfriend that managed to avoid to kill me every time i wasn't answering the phone
testing the new Aleph One build

Source
----------------------

I'll add more info on how to compile the source soon, you can get it from:
http://www.barrysoft.it/products/A1PSPsrc.zip

I used some very dirty makefile hackery to make it work so maybe you'll have
to edit some things by yourself to get it work for you.
