Now here's one good way to spend idle time with a PSP. Homebrew developer littlevish just came up with Pocket Gambler, a "cross between a casino game, and a text-based Grand Theft Auto." It may sound a bit simple at this point, but check out how a QJ forum poster's exploits turned out when he tried Pocket Gambler:

"First I stole the windows source code and got away, I went to jail for stealing a psp, broke out, then went to jail again for stealing a car!"

Pretty colorful, eh? Well, it may lack colors for now since all you can see in Pocket Gambler is text, but littlevish will eventually release an update with graphics in the near future. Until then, we can fiddle with this awesome text-based game. For more information, do go over with the game information as enumerated by littlevish below:

Buy lottery tickets and play slot machines
Out of money? Take a risk and steal things to gain money, but you might get sent to jail.
In jail? Try to break out by yourself or by using special items. You can also behave well and hope for parole.
If you have a lot of money you can buy items, and then sell them later when you are low in money.
