Yes the original Was $20,000

This is what I've Found

In essence, she has agreed to marry you IF you present her with a diamond ring and $20,000 in cash (your mutual retirement fund.) "Anything less and I would be wasting my god given talents on just one man.", says she.

Hint of advice, don't play this in the car. There is a lot of reading involved believe it or not...

MinerPSP v1.1
-----------------

MinerPSP is based on the game Miner VGA released into the public domain by
Harrel W. Stiles in 1989.

You control a miner who's objective is to go underground, collect, and sell
valuable materials to win the love of Miss Mimi.  She likes rich men but
money is not the only thing that will win her heart....

Changes in V1.1
-------------------

Bugfix: Miss Mimi will no longer marry you as soon as you get into the bar.
Bugfix: The screen will no longer scroll without you if you hit a hazard off map.
Fix: Changed the pricing of torches and how long they last. Less $, more light.
Fix: Instructions are a little more helpful now, use d-pad right to scroll pages.
Fix: Slightly lowered hazard spawn rate and increased mineral spawn rate.
New: Sound.
New: You can now have up to 6 saved games instead of just 1. ***
New: Clover added! Always in first 1000ft. It is said to give the luck of the Irish.
New: Search the area button.  Press Cross while underground to check the area out.
     Doing this uses more of your torch/lantern though.

***Previous saves should work with this new system, the data was changed a little bit
   but the ones I tested were compatible.  You need to enter the saves directory and
   rename your miner.sav to miner0.sav for it to show on the list.

TIPS:
-------

There is only one clover, don't lose it.

Buy a drill as soon as economically possible, you could get trapped by caveins
with no way out otherwise.

Buy a bucket as soon as economically possible, you could get trapped by water
springs with no way out otherwise.

You will always try to run back toward the elevator when setting off dynamite,
a clear path helps you get out of the blast radius.

You can walk faster in town by holding down the d-pad than in the dangerous mine.

Light sources allow you to see minerals & hazards easier.

Digging tools reduce your mining costs.

Woody's surgical blade is known to give miners a temporary boost in hitpoints at
a cost.

Many rumors are to be heard in the saloon.

Sounds like a great update, i'll make sure to check it out tomorrow when i get a little time. Hopefully this will give a little longevity to the game.
I may even go find the original to help make sure it gets as close to the original as possible.

The Sound and the Saving slots Update Are really great! Now I can have six failure in my psp

Hello there. I have come here because i enter in the website of your sign, and i found that game! I dowloaded it, and give a try, it's very very nice, but i have one problem...i don't know what i do bad, but as i mine the rocks and that, i keep lossing money and i dead all the time...there isn't any way to stop the "fee" of money while u mine? i think you do a GREAT game without the original source.

[jsharrad]

It always costs to mine, the only thing you can do is lessen the cost by buying a shovel or pick (or both) at the general store.  To stop running out of money you need to sell what you mine and hopefully turn a profit.

Okay, i understand now better!
