Thanks for downloading my Space Invaders conversion for PSP.
Please note that this is a Work In Progress and work is still needed.
To install, place the SpaceInvader folder in your GAME folder if running fw 1.50 or in GAME150 if running a OE firmware.
Other custom firmware and devhook emulation is not known to be compatible but it generally should be.
As for a licence or anything like that....I don't care...reuse and abuse the code or what not however you wantthats why I included it here

Any questions or bug reports, please mail me at shatorikiriyama[at]hotmail[dot]co[dot]uk

Controls -
D-pad = move ship left and right
X = fire/enter
Select = Return to main screen (note,this does not mean the XMB)
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
Themes -
As of version 0.6, space invaders now supports themes.
A theme is basically two images which frame the game screen and make it look nicer.
There is support for custom themes kinda...
To use a custom theme, just replace theme1.png and theme2.png in the theme folder with
two 90x272 24bit .png image files named theme1.png and theme2.png
