PSPWrite: A Text Editor for PSP v1.0.2

Hi All,

Here is a new version of PSPWrite the text editor for PSP

It permits to edit even huge text file, in both dos and unix mode, using iso8859-1 (8bits) characters encoding. All iso8859-1 characters are present in the "Danzeff like" virtual keyboard.

The IR keyboard support is based on the work of Harald Fielker (author of the PSP IR Keyboard Library) with a new patch from Craig to support Sprint PCS IR keyboard.

It has been developed on linux for Firmware 1.5 and 3.40-OE, and for the IR keyboard
part it has been tested using a Targus Universal IR Wireless keyboard.

What's new then in 1.0.2 ?

- IR keyboard is now active in all menus and the ENTER
key works fine (no need to press Ctrl-X in menus)
- file extention are now ignored so you can edit any file
- the last folder used to load a file becomes the new default
folder
- the last folder is saved in the configuration file
(so the default folder is not always pspwrite/txt/ folder)
- options are now saved on exit
- ask before to overwrite a file
- keys such as page-up or page-down are now working fine
in the virtual keyboard
- add missing key mapping in the help file
- option to specify the text and background color
- option to specify the width/heigth of the editor screen
(the screen will be automatically centered)
- tabulations are now supported
(and expanded in space optionally)
- Bug fix and code cleaning

How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file.

Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public license,
read COPYING.txt file for more information about it.

Hi Matthias,

You need to install a custom firmware (homebrew don't work with official sony firmware). The best is to use "pandora" battery and to install a 3.71-m33 firmware (google it).

Hi,

You need to install a custom firmware on your PSP to be able to run any homebrew (and this one in particular). There are many sites that explain how to proceed to install a custom firmware on your PSP (google it).
Then you will have to use the fw3x version and put it in game371 (if you have 3.71-m33 installed)

Take care,

Zx

Yes, if you have a fat psp, you can then buy a targus keyboard (see links on amazon for the exact reference).

I am really fond of PSPWRITE, quite frankly it was a big factor
in my purchase of a portable playstation in the first place. Thanks go out to the developers on this app!

Through modifying the original software and taking advantage
of this application and some others, the PSP becomes much
more than Sony had anticipated...

and thank God!

Back to the subject!

PSPWRITE is a truly good application but just like PSP-PDA it is not yet fully polished. PSP-PDA has a few more issues but that is entirely because it is a more complex app. All PSPWRITE really needs is the ability to auto-scroll/auto-backspace and word-wrap, and it's done. I am hopeful that it will be done before PSP is an obsolete platform, whereas PDA will probably not be perfect in time (I'll still use the thing as long as there is development happening though!). Shoot if we can get a HUD for the PSP it could last another 15 years! LOL

I wish we had some capability like microsoft's COM object model, even though COM sucks it seems that there should be some kind of 'glue' that would let us stick the applications together so that they can hybridized for our convenience... I suppose the PSP will probably get obsolete by then unfortunately... but I will keep using it until then!

Thanks guys can't wait for that final release! Keep up the good work! If I knew anything about the inputs for the drivers and that rooty programming stuff I would work on getting this done... don't get me wrong, I'm down to learn new stuff, but I got a feeling I'd throw my PSP against the wall trying to do something like fix a device driver... argh.

Thanks again guys! YOU ROCK!
