looking great, could I suggest transfer rates on usb transfers or memstick read/write speeds. of course it'd be purely eye candy imo. maybe estimated times for transfers and what not.

another timer for eta on charge time?

just tossing out ideas sorry

as for the comic book have you considered when in zoomed in have a pop up showing a mini version of the picture showing where you are currently zoomed in. i don't know if i'm explaining it right but ereader1.6 (psp homebrew) does it.

thanks for reading.

HmongGuy: i already have this transfering display
look at abstract

as for zoom idea i thought about this ...and comic book reader is
something that well i dont use :P but i highlyl think about

Wally: actually flash space is not highly used as module / format
support is entirely done off memory stick ...so for example
the AUDIO PLAYER if you wanted MP3 support and WAV support
you would put the PLUGINS into the

X:/MODS/AUDIO/OX_AUD_MP3.POX and..
X:/MODS/AUDIO/OX_AUD_WAV.POX and so forth..

another example would be VIDEO supported formats like..

X:/MODS/VIDEO/OX_VID_PMP.POX and..
X:/MODS/VIDEO/OX_VID_MP4.POX and so forth..

and if you just wanted to take some support out say you only need
PMP but not the MP4 then all you would do is use the included
plugin manager to handle removal (which really is just deleting and then
editing XML file that holds all entries installed)

and xml would be used to track plugins as its much more faster
than using parsing with DIR ENTRIES and reading thru the entire
directory

i hope this is clear for most and easy to understand and useful
i understand that this method would tie this support to certain
memory cards ..but the trade off is not having the plugins using up
valuable flash space ...also note that POX are just PRX renamed :)
this is so that nobody can confuse

cheers

++ Added ALAC support (Apple Lossless)
---- Played a couple tracks i converted from WAV into iTunes
---- and ALL decoded to PCM wonderfully so you should not have
---- a problem using iTunes for encoding into ALAC ...In Theory of course :P

---- Support for 16bit Sampling ONLY ...i look into this more
---- Support upto 44.100 Hz Sampling Rate
---- Support upto Double Buffering Streaming
---- Support upto 2 Channels ...i also look at this but PSP limits
---- so nothing i can do really :P

---- Support for Mono, Stereo ONLY, JOINT STEREO
---- shouldnt even exist in my very honest opinion so dont use JS (iTunes doesnt)

---- ALAC throws up any bitrates between 750 - 950 kbps as its adaptive
---- so bitrates do not matter ...after all its a LOSSLESS format and decodes
---- perfectly back to PCM format just fine

---- Support for M4A and ALAC extensions ...anything else is useless
---- Support Seeking thru ALAC file
---- Support FFT with ALAC as decoded PCM goes first to FFT so its all good

---- TAGGING support is not yet finished ...i also look at this
---- NO AUDIO GAIN is NOT Supported !

FLAC support is NEXT LOSSLESS format that i like so i look at this after
working some bugs out and finishing TAGGING support but note that
I do not intend to support any other LOSSLESS formats like MONKEY AUDIO
or BONK or WAVPACK or whatever other obscure crap formats are out there
my goal is just support the most common and most useful ...to ME ! :)
so please no request for these above or otherwise

cheers

another idea came up! A screensaver/clock alarm/slideshow that comes on only when psp knows it's charging. I've got the case/cover for the psp which allows it to stand up right and figured if it's charging why not put on some eye candy or something useful while it's just sitting there. maybe for kicks idle time since last usage, christmas countdown timer, birthday countdown timer and don't want to miss out on them anniversary days. if i'm suggesting to much let me know i'll stop :)

no no ideas are what stuff are made from :)
i do like some ideas you mention and i actually
thought about charge animation pops up and fills
screen once user has AC adapter connected and
also has not touched psp for a couple seconds and
the LCD screen has dropped down to lowest brightness
basically you stop touching psp during when you are
using dotOS menu (BUT not during UMD Games and such)
as this can be annoying i know ...but say you are using
audio player or a homebrew or otherwise you might
lay down psp and plug AC adapter in and then the power
system would detect no use and then drop LCD power
as well as pop up this full screen status BATTERY / CHARGING
info ...similar to maybe ipod or iphone or some cellphone
lcd screensaver animations ...i hope this conveys the idea
and i believe it is what you had in mind

as for birthday counters and such ...ooo well i dont know thats kinda
pushing the info thats needs to be printed to screen when CHARGING :P
after all your not suppose to be around PSP looking at it when screen is
at lowest power and your not using :P so kinda doesnt fit the bill

I just thought of an nice idea.

What about have the wallpaper change itself every so often as user specifies (as seen on OSX)

Have it set so it can change on the week / day / hour / minute / every time you turn the PSP on


Sounds good so far :)

Wally: that is an OK idea and i will look into and setup
** but really it sounds like people shouldnt even be
** staring at PSP wallpapers to begin with :P ...also
** waste of battery to just leave screen on so you can
** look at some wallpapers ...PSP is not a PC to just stand
** around and chill ....so this idea is pretty USELESS to me :P

** in either case ...i will add options for this in Advanced Settings
** just to make it hard for people to find and use :)

++ Constant bitching Made me support

++ Improved Standard set slighlty
++ Modular Font System Beginnings needed
---- Basically a SET of chars would be contained per Font Module
---- All sets UTF-8 Native encoding, Conversions from
---- UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE -> UTF8

---- With there being 6 SETS :
---- STANDARD (ASCII + SYMBOLS + DING BATS)
---- LATIN (STANDARD + LATIN EXT.)
---- GREEK (STANDARD + GREEK)
---- CYRILLIC (STANDARD + CYRILLIC)
---- JAP_GOTHIC (ASCII + JAP_GOTHIC + JAP_KANJI_GOTHIC)
---- JAP_MINCHO (ASCII + JAP_MINCHO + JAP_KANJI_MINCHO)

---- Plugins Based, can be added / removed by simple Font Installer
---- for user to add/remove on a needed basis ...this to save RAM/MSDUO memory space

++ Full Latin Set Extension
++ Added Cyrillic chars set
++ Added Greek chars set
++ Added Some Misc. chars and symbols

++ Remove display of Katakana Gothic (V*) chars
++ Remove display of Katakana Mincho (V*) chars

* And now that i Feel more secure with Font System and 73 hours of
* Localization Issues and Filename Displays ...i now sleep till SEPT :P

++ 私はガラスを食べられます。それは私を傷つけません。

++ Learned a bit more about Vertical Japanese
---- now i know these are vital for Notes Taking Tool (Jap)

++ Added Wakisen ( | )
++ Added Wakiten ( `) // would be displayed on right to affecting char(s)

++ Added Namigata (〜) // in Vertical Mode this would rotate 90°
++ Added Maru (。)
++ Added Ten ( `) // go on its own grid space
++ Added Nakaten ( · ) // for decimals, links, compounds etc..
++ Added Nakasen ( | )
++ Added Tensen ( … ) // in Vertical Mode this would rotate 90°
++ Added Kagikakko (「」) // in Vertical Mode this would rotate 90°
++ Added Futaekagi (『』) // in Vertical Mode this would rotate 90°
++ Added Murakakko ( () ) // in Vertical Mode this would rotate 90°

++ Added Futaegakko ( (()) )
---- // these are just double Murakakko
---- // in Vertical Mode this would rotate 90°

++ Added Yokogakko ( () )
---- // would be displayed on lef and right to affecting char(s)
---- // in Vertical Mode this would NOT rotate 90°

++ Improved Notes Taking Tool GRID system for char display and organization
---- this is now 16x16 grid blocks with 8x16 immediately each block
---- this is to allow marks and chars on sides of Vertical text for things like
---- Yokogakko and Wakiten, this also serves as more spacing between
---- rows for clearer Poetry / Notes in Vertical Mode for Japanese chars

ex. of GRID :
Image

I hope this is Clear to ANY japanese out there
sorry but i know chotto of Jap and am Novice in the
Language as a Preschool student :P ...so if anyone
catches mistakes / typos / imperfections ....please i am
happy to know why i caused these errors ...and if there
is ANYTHING that i could have misinterpreted or just plain
out forgot or did not implement then please post a comment
or PM me

cheers

* ufoz, Ok i answer your question as best i can

NOTE: my japanese sucks so this i am guessing what
your asking

Hiragana is not the only input method, Katakana Range is supported
As for the Kanji (Chinese Characters) that you need for your words/chars
they are supported for the Joyo Kanji and Jinmei yo Kanji ...but these
i cannot possibly do each character in the 2000++ chars that are in this
range so i will have to use a open source already created font for displaying
these

as for Chinese / Korean ...out of the question Japanese is all i Like :)
if that is unfortunate then im sorry but font would grow in excess and plus
i am just learning japanese and chinese i will NEVER learn or Korean
so they are shit out of luck

PS: i take it w w means haha ? like laughing ? please clarify if im wrong

I was just asking about kanji display + input/conversion. Making an IME is no trivial task, but japanese input support isn't complete without one.

Also the 。 goes in the top-right when writing vertically.

somehow it seems as tho its too quiet, if u rly plan to finish this somehow then it seems to ne the projec should be more known around the psp sites...
anyway, do u have any of this running on the psp at all yet? how is the speed?

and will you support IR keyboards? will there be a wifi adhoc file transfer? ano... i always keep thinking that the psp should have like an office suite, or at least a word processor of some sort so u can create txt or rtf files, and maybe print them over wifi? or at least save them.

did i mention that if you could get the psp to act as a usb host then ppl could use huge harddisks as storage media? that wud rock cuz ms pro duos are still expensive...

** Ge64
** OK i answer all your questions

** somehow it seems as tho its too quiet ...
- And now that i Feel more secure with Font System and 73 hours of
- Localization Issues and Filename Displays ...i now sleep till SEPT :P
- that sleep is over now so i continue, next time really listen to these perceived
- jokes as they are most likely gonna happen :P ...was great sleep ahhhh

** the projec should be more known around the psp sites ...
- PSP sites suck and are only of use to pspkiddies who care of such things
- like fame and recoqnition in the psp "scene" ...not my cup of tea mate

** do u have any of this running on the psp at all yet? how is the speed? ...
- I Have a reballed NAND psp frankenstein beast for my dev :P so testing
- and flash corruption / problems are never a problem ...you can do this easily
- now with pandoras battery now so no need for reball, but yea all run on
- psp only, no pc side implementations or such, as for SPEED ...there isnt
- anything to speed up :P an interface is just an interface ...but for like the
- simple tools i optimize always more and more as i see fit

** and will you support IR keyboards? ...
- Ive had Irda keyboard support since Notes Taking Tool creation ..using piKEY
- so whatever pikey support i support i guess ...if pikey adds more compatibility then that would trickle down to dotOS

** will there be a wifi adhoc file transfer? ...
- Yes for any type of file from all sorts of areas, ex. Photo Viewer has Photo Sharing for just image formats
- so you can send to a friend with dotOS in photo mode ...or you could always
- transfer ANY file from your memstick when using the file browser to another psp with dotOS

** i always keep thinking that the psp should have like an office suite, or
** at least a word processor of some sort so u can create txt or rtf files,
** and maybe print them over wifi? or at least save them.
- this is utter BULLSHIT and has no place in a portable device ...stop being
- cheap and just get a laptop or pc or pen and paper ...out of the question

** psp to act as a usb host then ppl could use huge harddisks as storage media? ...
- THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH USB MINI B !!!! so end these thoughts
