[PSP]Release: PSPText Editor with IR Keyboard Support

October 5th, 2006, 07:29 Posted By: F9zDark

Background:

About a year ago, Agoln and DrPollo, were working and released (separately) an IR Keyboard Config/Driver program and a PSPTextEditor (called PSPTed). I, so enthused about the IR Keyboard bought it and gave Agoln's program a test run, and was amazed at how good it was.

Then I found PSPTed and immediately running it, contacted DrPollo(Source Forge name) to see about a joint venture, combining the two programs.

Well, a year later, I have finally held up my end of the deal (even though both parties ceased work on their respective programs).

Without further ado, I give you the readme:

Program Name: PSPTed with IR Keyboard Support
Credits: Logan Buesching and Alberto Cuesta CaÃ±ada

It is with great pleasure that I am able to release this. I had almost thought that all hope was lost. But alas, I was able to find to the IR Keyboard program from the days of old and put it to use.

Something to note before continuing: I take NO credit for this release. All I did was butcher the code (of PSPTed, Alberto's work) to integrate the Keyboard driver with it. So both Logan and Alberto deserve ALL the credit for this, since it was their work originally.

I do, however, plan to make this better as time goes on. Perhaps with a file system and mouse cursor, but we'll see. If not this program has some use for people needing to take notes on the go and has as a built in Load and Save function from Logan's original keyboard driver.

*Equipment Needed*

-IR Keyboard. MP-0118 Micro Innovations Keyboard was what the driver was programmed for and was tested extensively by myself and Logan. Other keyboards MAY work or they MAY NOT work. However, if a keyboard does not work, contact me at F9zDark@gmail.com and I'll see about getting support for your keyboard.

*Installation* (Supports 1.50 only for the moment; 1.0 might work but not tested)

1)Copy KBINIT and KBINIT% to the PSP\Game folder

2)Copy PSPTedwIR and PSPTedwIR% to the PSP\Game folder

3)Run KBINIT and follow the instructions on-screen for setting up your keyboard. It will save a Keyboard Config file to the root of the memstick. Exit when done. It may not exit with the home button, if it doesn't just hold the power switch until the PSP turns off or remove the battery.

4)Run PSPTed w/ IR Keyboard Support and give it a whirl!

*Controls*

In PSPTed you can Save and Load a txt file to and from the root of the memory stick. The file is saved as "savedData.txt". These controls are actuated on the PSP.

O - Saves File
^ - Loads File

*Known Issues*

-Keyboard Init may hang on exit
-PSPTed has no way to scroll down, change text lines (without hitting enter) or navigate through lines of text or across a line of text.

*Disclaimer*

You, the user, assumes all liability with using this program. It is safe, but heaven forbid, your PSP should blow up before, during or after using this program, it is not Logan's, Alberto's or my responsibility. Consider yourself warned

.

TODO:

- Add UP,Down,Left,Right support on keyboard
- Add scrolling and movement along and between lines of text
- Add more advanced Save and Load feature

Things to Dream About:

- A mouse cursor for instant line changes and highlighting
- Copy & Paste
- Change font color

*Bugs*

If you find any bugs, please post them here, or direct them to my email @ F9zDark@gmail.com

Insofar, the only bug I know is that KBinit does not exit properly and will need the battery to be removed.

Do not contact Agoln of DrPollo with support/bugs.

*Disclaimer (here it is again, in case you missed it)

You, the user, assumes all liability with using this program. It is safe, but heaven forbid, your PSP should blow up before, during or after using this program, it is not Logan's(Agoln), Alberto's(DrPollo) or my responsibility. Consider yourself warned.
