Play J2ME games on your PSP


If you’re in the PSP homebrew community and have an unlocke PSP, a new version of the KVM J2ME virtual machine has been released.

This little software allows you to play J2ME games on the PSP, extending the core MIDP 2.0 API of J2ME with some vendor-specific libraries, like the Nokia API.

The mobile games scenario has its moments, so this little software will probably find a permanent place in my own PSP.

Old school beating


Today, while commuting, I started again Might & Magic: Secrets of The Inner Sanctum, with the idea to finish it. Since I deeply hate old-school western RPGs that don’t feature automapping, I opted for the NES version, using my faithful PSP with NesterJ.
What I found was old school beating! God, the NES version is insanely difficult with lots of new and powerful monsters and slightly different maps…

I’m not pretty sure if a steeper difficulty trades off with much better graphics and a streamlined interface (full of submenus, though).
