New prerelease of PSP radio:

Raf posted this news on his forum:

<blockquote>New version is out: 0.38.06.

This is really a WIP version, please don't complain if it doesn't work for you. It's more of a test build. I really need feedback from users willing to try it.

This release is divided in two:
-There's a static release (static means its a monolithic application, like it's always been until now). The main difference is that this version is 100% user-mode code, and to the point that it doesn't even try to load the network or usb drivers (so it won't have network/usb under f/w < 2).
What I need to know is if this version provides network/usb to eloader users. (Also if it works on f/w 2.6)
-Then, there's the dynamic release (dynamic means modular, plugin based, based on PRXs [like dll's for PSP]). This is the kind of release I expect to keep on publishing from now on, but many things changed, and needs to be tested heavily. Under f/w 1.5 (or lower), this release has an EBOOT.PBP file which is really a loader. It loads all needed drivers, then starts the application. The UIs have also been converted to plugins. I want to start writing more plugins, and also allow more developers to create their own plugins). The static version won't be able to take advantage of any of this.
This release (dynamic) will only (currently) run on 1.5 or lower. But still, feel free to test it with other f/w releases, loaders.

Other than this, there's no other new features or bug fixes(other than the home button exit option always working) in this release. So if you're not into testing, then please stick to the latest official/unstable release. Thanks!

Raf.

What's new:
0.38.06 (r881) (2006-03-02)
NEW FEATURES
(raf) Core/All: Added plugin system - this will only currently work under f/w 1.5. UIs have been converted to PRXs, as well as PSPRadio. A Loader starts PSPRadio now (on 1.5) (r817-861).
(raf) All: Reorganized hierarchy of files. And enchanced build system.
(raf) Now build generates dynamic and static releases. The dynamic release will currently only work with f/w 1.5 The static release (won't support plugins) should work on all f/w's but won't attempt loading usb/wifi drivers, so it won't have networking/usb unless provided by a loader (needs to be tested under eloader).
BUG FIXES
(raf) Using the home menu option to exit should always exit pspradio (even if it crashed) now. *update*</blockquote>
