Hi Guys,
Pointless Pacman is written in C, with the free PSP SDK (thanks to ps2dev.org).

I thought about calling it "Pacman Portable", but I don't think the PSP should take the insult!

As pointless as it may be, I wrote or stole every part of this program myself,
and did it in around 36 hours, including preparation of graphic, and sound resources.
