[Release] PSPalatro v0.7 - Native Sony Save UI, Spectral Cards and New Sound Effects!

Hi everyone!

A while ago (litreally one day) I shared my fork of **PSPalatro**, the PSP port of Balatro, after the original project went offline. Since then, I have been working on improving the port and keeping the project alive with new fixes and features.

I’m happy to announce that **PSPalatro v0.7** is now released!

GitHub release:

https://github.com/Luxotick/pspalatro/releases/tag/v0.7

## What’s new in v0.7?

The biggest change is that the game now has a working **native Sony PSP Save Utility UI**.

Previously, the save system used a custom background save method because the native PSP save screen was causing crashes. With this update, saving and loading now works through the proper PSP save interface.

This version also adds:

- Native Sony PSP Save/Load UI

- Spectral cards

- New sound effects

- More audio improvements are still planned

- General fixes and improvements

Not every sound effect is implemented yet, but new ones have been added and the audio side of the port is improving step by step.

## Contributors / Special Thanks

Huge thanks to **Sérgio / internalregister**, the original author of PSPalatro, for creating the foundation of this port.

Special thanks as well to **Bitter_Cry7001 / OniMock** for helping a lot with this version of the project.

Full instructions are available in the GitHub README.

## Looking for contributors

The project is still in development and open to the community.

If you are a developer, tester, PSP homebrew enthusiast, or just someone who wants to help improve the port, feel free to open Issues or submit Pull Requests on GitHub.

Feedback, bug reports and suggestions are very welcome.

In the end, I wasnt expexting this much attention to be honest.. Thanks for all!

EDIT: too many of you were asking for release of the pspalatro so i've just uploaded it to github i don't know what ill do if it got dmca but we can find a solution i guess. https://github.com/Luxotick/pspalatro/releases/tag/v0.7

Hi everyone!

As some of you might know, the amazing PSP port of Balatro (PSPalatro) created by Sérgio was recently taken down. Luckily, I managed to fork the source code before it went fully offline so we can keep the project alive!

One of the biggest missing features in the original release was that it didn't have a save system. You lost your progress as soon as you closed the game. On top of that, trying to implement the native Sony Save Utility UI was causing kernel crashes (at least when i tried it if you know any solutions im open for that).

I've been working on the code and I'm happy to announce that I've implemented a fully functional, crash-free Save/Load system!
I built a custom Pause Menu and a stealthy background saving method, meaning your deck, stats, and game state are saved instantly in the background without triggering any PSP UI crashes.

You can get the source code from my fork here:

Looking for Contributors!
I am completely open to collaboration. If you are a dev or a tester and want to help improve this port, please feel free to open Issues or submit Pull Requests on GitHub. Let's make this the ultimate PSP port together.

Huge thanks to Sérgio for the incredible foundation.
