- New game mode 'Survival' - keep the ball in play for as long as possible (score upload and database upgraded to cater for changes).
- 'Arcade' mode to replace previous Vs. CPU mode.
- MP3 files of a large size should be avoided, as they will crash the PSP on attempting to load them due to RAM shortages.
