Installation

Unzip the archive following at the root of your MS (ie. PPG must be in the directory GAME):

PPG v0.2 (for Flat or Slim in custom FW 3.xx)
(Does NOT work on FW 1.5)

Configuration

By default, the configuration file (ppg.cfg) is created with the following values:

Code:
ConnectionTimeout = 30
ConnectionIndex = 1
RepositoryURL = http://sebdelestaing.free.fr
RepositoryPRGList = TNT

ConnectionTimeout: Time maximum of establishing the wireless connection (in seconds).
ConnectionIndex: Number of connection to use.
RepositoryURL: site address providing programs.
RepositoryPRGList: Type of desired program ( "tnt" or "freebox").

If you want the programs of the Freebox, use the deposit 6Sick6 member who devsgen
Volunteered to provide Freebox programs each week. Thanks to him.

Code:
ConnectionTimeout = 30
ConnectionIndex = 1
RepositoryURL = http://6sisk6.free.fr
RepositoryPRGList = freebox

Notes sur la mise à jour:

-- If you have no Internet connection, you can load the file programs since my deposit (tnt)
Or that of 6sick6 (freebox)
Http://sebdelestaing.free.fr/tnt.prg.gz
Http://6sick6.free.fr/freebox.prg.gz
... Then paste it into the repertory of the EBOOT.

-- When update?
The file is regenerated every weekend in principle. And if we do that not too bad eh ben!

Mode d'emploi

In the first mode, PPG will connect to the Internet (with the config file cfg) and download the file programmes for the current week.
