FRONTIER 1337 is a port for PSP from the Atari ST version of the 1993 game FRONTIER - Elite II.

I used Tom Morton's sourcecode of his GLFrontier PC port. The whole merit goes to him. I learnt C language only to be able to play this game on the go, so everything is not optimised. For a better framerate result, set the level of shape detail to 'low' in the setup screen (start button), and disable things like 'Space dust, clouds etc' and 'Background stars'...

Don't try to change commander's name when you are saving your game !
If you want to change it, rename the file in the savs folder.
