PSPWrite: A Text Editor for PSP v1.0.3 * UPDATE *

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 3.71-m33, and for the IR keyboard
part it has been tested using a Targus Universal IR Wireless keyboard.

What's new then in 1.0.3 ?

- Add option to change the font size (8x8 or 6x10)
- Use Analog pad to move faster
- New CPU clock (from 133 to 333)
- Two cursor modes :
. the cursor move only on already written text.
. the cursor can move everywhere.

** UPDATE ** The previous version was buggy, i've just uploaded a new one !

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.

Potential bug? I'm not sure, but are you supposed to be able to scroll around with the Danzeff keyboard open? If so, there should probably be an option to disable it... Makes it rather difficult for me to type.

Oops ! Yes you're right ! sorry, i've just uploaded a new version. I had tested this one only using Targus keyboard ...

Mm, cool.

I use my PSP for notes in school and such, and a keyboard could possibly get in the way having to carry it around there.

Another bug I'm not sure is fixable, but you can't put a 3.40 OE-A PSP into sleep mode with this running... Similar to the problem Notepad for PSP has.

And a potential feature idea, a BG image selector would be nice too, instead of having to load PSP Filer to rename the files to switch BGs... But it's not really necessary, would just be a neat thing to have.

Erk, forgot to bring up Word Wrap as a possible feature too...

I tried both versions of 1.03 on my M-33 3.71 Modded PSP and both versions wouldn't load up at all...

I take it this has been fixed in the updated version?

If you use pikey, you might disable it and give it a try ... btw, you can also try to disable all your plugin and see which one is incompatible with pspwrite,

...Another problem... the Danzeff keyboard can cover the cursor if it moves to the bottom right... perhaps slide it over, like Notepad for PSP does...? :/

Yeah, I'm picky.

Yes, that's a good idea.

Thanks

...Good god, what is with me and constantly coming up with ideas after I've posted others?

If I could edit previous comments I would, but since I can't... maybe having multiple files open at once, as can also be done in Notepad for PSP, wouldn't be a bad idea... :/

Sorry if the constant ideas are getting annoying, they're just suggestions to improve the editor - even if I wouldn't use the features myself, I'm sure others would.

Thanks for all those ideas

, don't feel sorry, the best ideas are always coming from end users

.

I don't promise you anything, since i'm working on other projects now, but why not when i will have little time,

Take care, Zx

This is a very useful,

And if u have time, other features for the future could be the undo, redo, copy, paste, cut functions.

Would be mad if the analog stick was a mouse cursor... and the L R tabs were the left and right clicks on the mouse. Also scroll bars, title bar, dictionary... but these aren't really that necessary lol.

Cheers, Zx
