PSP Kobo is a port of the popular single player action game XKOBO. The PSP version was orginally a quick port done by Rekless. The new version fixes some of the major bugs and adds a couple of new features like auto-fire and auto-saving.
Features
- Port of XKOBO by Akira Higuchi (later updated by Wolgang Jahrling).
- Originally ported to the PSP by Rekless in 2005.
- Requires Custom Firmware to run.
User guide
Xkobo is a single player action shooter where your object is to destroy all the fortresses.
There are 50 levels total. After completing level 50, the levels restart with a higher difficulty setting.
Of the 50 levels, the first 10 were designed by Wolgang Jahrling as replacements for the original first 10 levels.
The levels are left in the original order, even though some later levels are easier then the first ones.
Controls
Start - Begin a game, Pause
Select - Enable auto-fire (only saves completed levels+score)
L/R - Skip previous levels (only works from the home screen)
D-Pad/Analog - Direction
Circle/Cross/Trianlge/Square - FIre

Compatibility
PSP Kobo was tested on Firmware version 5.50 GEN_D3 on a PSP Slim 2000.
Changelog
V1.21
- Added code to keep screen from dimming during analog control use.
- Removed the clock speed limiting code to help minimize tearing (This was instead of going and re-coding to get full double buffering which would have taken a lot of time).
- Removed the bizarre score updating scheme that would make it blink during an update. Personally the blinking feels like a graphics glitch.
V1.2
- Fixed Start/Pause Issue
- Redesigned landing screen.
- Moved Score and Radar positions.
- Added auto-fire mode.
- Cleaned up some of the code and fixed other bugs big and small.
