Jafe's Hike

Hardhat has another game on his site, heres the info:

<blockquote>Welcome to Jafe's Hike where you become Jafe, and need to catch butterflies but avoid the bee sting and gopher bites. Well, for this version you only get to catch butterflies. I'll add the bee and the gopher later.

Installation

Just copy the psp folder onto your PSP. I've got a 2.6 PSP so I use the GTA Beta exploit by Fanjita to run it. I don't know if you have to do anything special to make it run on 1.5 PSP, but if you're running 1.5 I feel confident that you can figure it out.

1. If you're using a recent PSP-OS (2.01 - 2.6), currently you need to buy Grand Theft Auto: Libery City Stories, make a game save with the end of the first section (I downloaded a 100% complete game save from one of the portals). Note that there are three versions of GTA: US, EU and German, so find or make a gamesave for the version that you run.

2. Download the latest eloader --> http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...threadid=19318

and follow the readme in it.

3. Try Penguin Scramble -- at least it seems to be the easiest homebrew to get working. "Ready Go!" :-P

4. Start GTA. Let it run for a few seconds of clock time (10 seconds is enough maybe). Load a saved game. Choose the Fanjita save game. Choose Jafes Hike from the eLoader menu. If all is well, the intro screen will display. I have about a 1 in 6 success rate getting to this point.

Features

This version does not include sound. Despite the fact that Penguin Scramble is full of sounds, I haven't manage to get any of the pspsdk examples to work and I haven't managed to get the mp3 player library to do anything but crash. It could just be the flakey ETA Beta. So for this version you can bounce (with "X"), catch butterflies (with square), turn on/off the targeting rectangle (with triangle) move left and right (with the arrows), and control the number of butterflies (with up and down arrows).

Butterflies are attracted to Jafe's hair. But can get distracted when they come close. To get the lingering ones, run away, and they'll run straight to you.
