MinerPSP is a mining simulator based on the game Miner VGA released into the public domain by Harrel W. Stiles in 1989. == User guide == You control a miner whose objective is to go underground, collect, and sell valuable materials to win the love of Miss Mimi. She likes rich men but money is not the only thing that will win her heart.... === Tips === *There is only one clover, don't lose it. *Buy a drill as soon as economically possible, you could get trapped by caveins with no way out otherwise. *Buy a bucket as soon as economically possible, you could get trapped by water springs with no way out otherwise. *You will always try to run back toward the elevator when setting off dynamite, a clear path helps you get out of the blast radius. *You can walk faster in town by holding down the d-pad than in the dangerous mine. *Light sources allow you to see minerals & hazards easier. *Digging tools reduce your mining costs. *Woody's surgical blade is known to give miners a temporary boost in hitpoints at a cost. *Many rumors are to be heard in the saloon. == Controls == Start - Main menu, Close menu, Cancel Save & Load Cross - Select menu item while menu open, Search area while underground D-Pad - Move miner D-Pad Up - Enter building R+Up/Down - Elevator up/down 100ft Circle (Hold) - Inventory window Triangle+D-Pad - Drill granite at direction Square+D-Pad - Bail water at direction L+R - Use dynamite (requires a torch) Select - Take a screenshot == Screenshots == https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/psphomebrew/minerpsp3.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/psphomebrew/minerpsp4.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/psphomebrew/minerpsp5.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/psphomebrew/minerpsp6.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/psphomebrew/minerpsp7.png == Changelog == '''V1.2''' * Fix: Changed random function to be more random. * Fix: Resampled some of the sounds for better size and compatability. * Fix: Included images into the executable for faster transfer to psp. * Fix: Tweaks to the game mechanics that aren't readily apparent. * New: Install-o-tron compliant HBINFO.TXT included. '''V1.1''' * Bugfix: Miss Mimi will no longer marry you as soon as you get into the bar. ;) * Bugfix: The screen will no longer scroll without you if you hit a hazard off map. * Fix: Changed the pricing of torches and how long they last. Less $, more light. * Fix: Instructions are a little more helpful now, use d-pad right to scroll pages. * Fix: Slightly lowered hazard spawn rate and increased mineral spawn rate. * New: Sound. * New: You can now have up to 6 saved games instead of just 1. * * New: Clover added! Always in first 1000ft. It is said to give the luck of the Irish. * New: Search the area button. Press Cross while underground to check the area out. ** Doing this uses more of your torch/lantern though. (* Previous saves should work with this new system, the data was changed a little bit but the ones I tested were compatible. You need to enter the saves directory and rename your miner.sav to miner0.sav for it to show on the list.) == Credits == * Harrel W Stiles for MinerVGA (the original game). * Folks over at ps2dev for the PSPSDK. * Brunni for the Old School Library. == External links == * Author's website - [https://web.archive.org/web/20080318230805/http://www.psp-programming.com/jsharrad/minerpsp/ http://www.psp-programming.com/jsharrad/minerpsp/] (archived)
