This application is compatible with the Rosetta Stone language sets without any conversion needed. Unfortunately it seems some of the audio files from Rosetta Stone are not perfect. They play fine on the PC, but the PSP audio libraries are not able to play some without distortion. Copy your Language Set lessons to the Language directory in the RosettaShard installation folder. If your Language Set has much distortion, it will need to be repaired. This will be done with a PC application which will be released as soon as it is completed. Until then, you can repair them yourself by the following:
Rename the files so the extension SWA becomes MP3.
Encode the files to MP3 at 22khz with a bitrate of 80kbits.
Rename the files so the extension MP3 becomes SWA.
What’s new in version .8.5?
The HOME button is fixed. It now brings up the HOME screen and works as normal.
In Choose Setup -> Available Card Sets: Only Units and Lessons which are present on the memory stick are available to select.
In Choose Setup -> Available Card Sets: Lesson Descriptions have been removed as they were not exceedingly useful. In fact the whole menu system has been replaced.
Skins have been removed for now. This will be a feature in a later version. Currently the Skin can only be changed by replacing the images themselves. The entire interface can be skinned this way.
