Disclaimer: Please note that the homebrew modifies your file ur0:user/00/np/myprofile.dat without much of a warning. It is also a homebrew that requires “unsafe” access enabled given that it touches a file on the ur0 partition. I have not tested the software yet at the time of publishing this article. Use at your own risk, however the source code is available as well for those who’d rather confirm things are working as designed.

##Key mappings

CROSS - confirm / drop block
RIGHT TRIGGER - cancel / exit game

D-PAD - move block / select character (hall of fame)

SQUARE - rotate block around X axis counterclockwise
SQUARE + LEFT TRIGGER - rotate block around X axis clockwise
TRIANGLE - rotate block around Y axis counterclockwise
TRIANGLE + LEFT TRIGGER - rotate block around Y axis clockwise
CIRCLE - rotate block around Z axis counterclockwise
CIRCLE + LEFT TRIGGER - rotate block around Z axis clockwise

START - pause / resume game

##Online score database

The game has a strong user community and an online world ranking of user scores.

Currently you can play against / compare your score to an online score database, but you cannot upload your scores.

Please look at TODO section, regarding score uploading.

##TODO

The game has an option to upload user scores to the game server, but that option is only included in binary releases for pc.

Reverse engineering of 'reply file' content and communication protocol is needed in order to upload user scores from PS VITA port of the game.

##Disclaimer

There are some minor graphical issues due to TinyGL limitations.

Enjoy!

* As far as I know

- Reverted removal of APPE command.
- Added some additional standard FTP commands.
- Rewrote server engine to be able to compile on Linux, CELL, and PSL1GHT.
* This makes for easier debugging, so this release should be expected to
perform much better (and hopefully bug-free) than earlier versions.
* With the new codebase, developers can now easily add their own commands
without having to worry about affecting the server engine. The command
system is now designed to be "plugin-based".
- Removed asynchronous IO. No real benefits were found after thorough testing.
- Vastly improved stability of multiple connections.
* 10 simultaneous connections in FileZilla is tested to be stable!
- Fixed a bad bug in 4.1 causing connections to drop when downloading files.
