Yeah, there are many name conflicts. The easiest is to use .nspgk as the file name extension. 
This was specifically built to implement all calls needed by nBattleship 1.4 (in development/sources on Unna). Many other apps launch, but are unusable at this point. If there is sufficient interest in this tool, I can try to focus on another package that is worth supporting, increasing compatibility over time.
