How To Make A PlatFormer Tutorial by cmbeke

cmbeke has posted a nice tutorial in our forums about making a platformer with a tile engine, using LuaPlayer Euphoria (LPE).
The tile engine itself is made by osgeld.
Here’s a statement from him:

Hopefully this will be the first in a series of tutorials about making a platformer. If you have any questions, comments, or see I am doing something wrong or inefficiently please by all mean post your opinion. This tile engine was made by Osgeld and I take no credit for it in its state now.

You can view the tutorial in the forums HERE

Also, I would like to add that most of the main evilmana tutorials are converted over to the new layout. Snippets and codebase are not. Soon, these will get an update. dan369 has worked on this some already.

5.00m33-6 last of the CFW?

If you haven’t noticed Dark Alex has yet to crack the official firmware 5.55 fw provided by sony. Which doesn’t really matter unless your a hard core GI Joe fan, which happens to be the only game needing this firmware. but from the looks of things other games coming to US will be needing this fw such as shin megami tensei(persona).

No one has heard of anything from Dark alex or anyone from the m33 team on the usual breaking of fw. Lets hope this changes soon. Maybe he is just waiting for the PSP go to come around or maybe he is done, what ever it is, lets hope something changes.
Which if your running 3.71m33, do not update your PSP with network, it will auto put 5.55m33
