Only now I had the time to try it. Nice game! It feels like a good old school game.

Since the game is all in a single ELF file, I tried to run it from a usb pen using uLE but it failed, leaving a black screen. I managed to run it using ps2link.

I only wished LlibPlanar would have a low resolution (at least a non interlaced) screen mode... I hate interlace on PAL displays.

Yesterday I saw that error. Today I was fixing it and adding sound effects :D

Hi,
I just wanted to say thanks for this. It´s good to see ps2 homebrew is still alive. I also apreciate the time you took to make a version that ran on
a ps2 compatible ps3 even though you don´t have one yourself. I thought you should know that ver. 1.3 is working on the ps3, if you use hermes psxloader to boot it. Select option D or F.
I noticed you can now use uLaunch.elf to boot it on the ps2. like cosmito had already noticed,you couldn´t with 1.2. That´s probably the same reason why 1.2 wouldn´t boot with psxloader on the ps3.
I was wondering if you could could explain the music selection off of the usb a little better. I tried to follow your guide with the config.xml but it makes the game crash at the start screen.
Well, anyways nice job with this.
bye

Thank you everybody who has used my tetris xD

I'm pleased to know that v1.3 is working on ps3. About music in USB, to test it I did the program to show the information on screen while reading on USB. With this method I can know where the program hangs. Perhaps I may to put that debug text in public version.

If you like it, send the config.xml content because the problem can be in it.

I'm working on a unified source for pc and ps2 (and possibly other platforms) when I have finished, I will publish it.
