This is a limited fan-recreation of the game Balatro for Sony's Playstation Portable console. I will keep this up as an archive.

The project is for <ins>legitimate owners of a copy of Balatro</ins> who wish to experience a partial demo of the game on the PSP.

<ins>Project Description:</ins>

I did this for fun in whatever free time I managed to get.
<ins>There is no roadmap and no plans for future updates, they may come or not, I will try to fix bugs whenever I can.</ins> Not all implemented rules match the original game exactly, some of them I couldn't find information on (i.e. the probabilities of certain events).

<ins>Features Implemented Now:</ins>

• Main in-game loop
• Shop (singles and boosters)
• Card enhancements
• Card editions
• 80+ Jokers
• Consumables (except for spectral cards)
• Full and remaining deck view
• Experimental background music implementation, works ok when overclock is enabled.
• Natural negative jokers

Refer to the Balatro Wiki for better understand of card effects and game features:

<ins>Build Instructions</ins>

1.) Install the PSPSDK (link here) 2.) Check if the following packages are installed for the PSPSDK (using for example psp-pacman): - libzip - vorbis - liblzma - stb 3.) run make

<ins>Run Instructions</ins>

1.) Copy EBOOT.PBP and the files in the assets folder to a folder for the game in your PSP. 2.) Copy your official Balatro copy executable to that same folder. 3.) Modify the settings.ini file (see below for details). (optional)

<ins>Configuration</ins> (settings.ini file)

The settings.ini file can have the following entries:

• archive_file_name (string) - the name of Balatro executable

• audio (boolean) - turn audio on or off (it is advisable to use with overclock)
• move_cards (boolean) - turn card oscillation on or off
• overclock (boolean) - set the CPU and BUS clocks to 333Mhz, which I believe it to be fine for the PSP, it may however drain the battery faster

• speed (int) - how fast scoring is (values from 1 to 5)
