Defence Station Portable

August 20, 2007 on 12:51 am | In DSP, PSP |

Voting is up!
http://www.neoflash.com/forum/index.php?topic=4601.0

Update:
Fixed PSP executable
What was up?
Windows capitalises some of the folders when putting it on the PSP, this made the game bug out when loading towers and enemies.

Digg This!

For my neoflash entry this time, I’ve made a fully customisable tower defence game for the psp.
It runs on the PSP, and also linux and windows to assist in creating new levels :-)
The level creation guide is included, please make lots of levels! :D :D :D.

Oh yeah, the points counter is broken, known bug. I’ll fix it tomorow >_>

  7. Aaaah I’m happy to see a very good PSP homebrew !!! Congrats Danzel !

    I hope some talended graphists will create some levels and nice sprites to go with it !!! A StarCraft level may rock

    Some suggestions :
    - why not using tiles for the background and so the possibility to have bigger maps, you can try http://tilestudio.sourceforge.net/ which is easy and very cool (and can produce your own format) ?
    - background music (mod, mp3…)
    - high scores
    - XML level format (some opensource C++ XML libs are available like tinyXML : http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml/)

    Continue !!! That roxxx !

  10. A friend of mine did a little level sample to mimic St*rcraft FA 3 flash game, get it there and unzip it to the levels folder :

    Comment by shazz — August 21, 2007 #

  11. @shazz - I thought about going tile based, but stuck with the current format for simplicity of coding.
    You don’t event end up using most of the map usually :)
    Definately will work on some of the other parts though :-) Thanks.

  24. cant get to run on v3.9 update

    Comment by something new — February 13, 2008 #

  25. I Assume you are on Custom Firmware? It’ll never work otherwise.
    It might not work on 3.9 CFW anyway, try the 1.5 addon?

    Comment by Danzel — February 13, 2008 #

  26. thanks

    Comment by something new — February 14, 2008 #

  27. r u developing any more games

    Comment by something new — February 14, 2008 #

  28. Yeah I’m working on something totally different.
    There are heaps of other free PSP games around, just have a google and check out some sites.

    Comment by Danzel — February 14, 2008 #

  29. hi is there any way to put bg music on the game

    Comment by craig — February 15, 2008 #

  30. You could use irshell to play music at the same time i think.
    Otherwise no.

    Comment by Danzel — February 17, 2008 #

    Comment by buhumith — April 13, 2008 #

  35. i really like TD, so i want it on my psp. the only problem is that i’ve the custom firmware 3.9 so when i put it in one of the 3 game folders (only works in ‘GAME’ and ‘GAME150′) it opens and it says it cant be opened. need help on this.
    who has a custom firmware where it works?

    Comment by pelladir — May 29, 2008 #

  36. Have you made sure youre running the 1.5 kernel in the recovery menu… just double checl you are and i you are, then make sure theres nothing causing a collision.

    Comment by Althor — June 1, 2008 #

  37. i have tha came problem as pelladir. i dont think it works on 3.90m33 3

    Comment by nic — July 1, 2008 #

  38. Can it be played on Windows Mobile 6? That would be cool to have on my phone :)

    Comment by Steve — January 8, 2009 #

  39. Not currently. Might look at porting it in the future.
    I do a fair bit of Windows Mobile development at work, so I have some experience in the area…

    Comment by Danzel — January 8, 2009 #

  40. Nice game. I like it. Waiting for new maps…. =)

    Comment by Criser — January 13, 2009 #

  41. i like it but not really

    Comment by 253 — February 18, 2009 #

  42. Could you do a port for the open source Android G-1 Phone? That would be awesome!

    Comment by mrbuckaroo — March 12, 2009 #

  43. Buy me an Android G-1 Phone and I’ll do it.
    Will require shipping it to New Zealand ;-)

    Comment by Danzel — March 12, 2009 #

  44. Ive put a copy of the game in both GAME and GAME150. I am running 3.71m33-3/1.50 addon, and the 1.50 kernel is activated, but whenever I try and start the game it comes up with “The game could not be started” Any ideas?

    Comment by Madpassion — March 19, 2009 #

  45. Only put it in the GAME150 folder.

    Comment by Danzel — March 20, 2009 #

  46. Hmmm… Still coming up with “The game could not be started. (80020148)”. I’ve got the dsp and dsp% folders in GAME150, with 1.50 kernel activated. Do I put the dsp% folder inside the other dsp folder?

    Comment by Madpassion — March 20, 2009 #

  47. Are you running the right menu item? It might be adding 2 items to the menu.

    You should have:
    PSP\GAME150\dsp
    PSP\GAME150\dsp%

    Otherwise, I’m not sure…

    Comment by Danzel — March 20, 2009 #

  48. Yea, that’s what I’ve got put in there. There’s only one item on the game menu: The Tower defence logo and the background, but as I said wont start up.
    Thanks for the help anyway, I’ll keep working on it and see if I can work it out.

    Comment by Madpassion — March 21, 2009 #

  49. Hey, any chance you released the source code to this?

    I’d like to take the graphics for Crystal Defenders and import them into this game =D

    Comment by Zero — April 29, 2009 #

  50. You don’t need the source code to do that.
    The levels are all customisable, you can create your own.
    Wait till the new version comes out before you start on that, the level format has changed alot.

    Comment by Danzel — April 29, 2009 #

  51. How do you install the thing onto the psp!?!?!

    Comment by Alex — May 5, 2009 #

  52. It saysa the game cannot start because the data is corrupted

    Comment by Alex — May 5, 2009 #

  53. I have the same problem, i think it might be the firmware version but i’ve recently updated and would really like to try this game :)

    Many thanks

    Comment by Another alex +.+ — May 22, 2009 #
