New OpenBOR Mod: Golden Axe - Remake by uTunnels

[SX]

Author: uTunnels

Description
It's a full remake and enhanced version of the arcade game - Golden Axe. I've done last frame editing jobs, think it is a completed version.

Difficulties
There are 3 modes in this game.

STORY MODE
Just like the orginal game, fight through 5 main levels to hunt down Death Adder. It supports 3 players.

SKELETON MODE
Your character is a black skeleton who loses its HP per second. There's a countdown under your character's HP bar, if it reaches 0, your character will lose more HP per-second, and will die if it loses all HP. You can hit enemies to drain HP back, those gray thieves will drop skulls that rewind your countdown. This mode supports only 1 player, and you have only 1 life.

THE DUEL
In this mode your characters will be in an arena, you must kill all enemies to survive. This mode suports 3 players, and all empty slots will be filled with npc characters, no continue.

How do u get this working on fat psp?  I tried removing one of the prx's and it still reboots my psp. 

[kbandressen]

Testing it out on OpenBOR lite, it uses about 23.5 MB of ram in the first level while the PSP fat has only 20 MB.  So unless utunnels releases a lite version or something, us PSP fat owners can't play it.

so i guess i am not the only one with problems running this... i was just about to ask the same question about running it on Phat PSPs....
anyway... seems like no helping it for now
