I presume the PBP loading is only for 1.0 machines, though, as I can't get it to work on anything on a 1.5...?
/edit - sorry - /some/ stuff runs.
Cheers, |
You still need to use the Kxploit method of ----, ----% folders, running the PBP in the % folder first. The 1.50 PSP cannot run unsigned elfs, like all the other PSP aside from 1.0, you still need the kxploit trick to make them run. |
Thanks for the reply. I didn't mean to look stupid - I have tried the usual % etc method, but just couldn't get anything but the NES emulator to run. |
I havnt tried using this particular app, but I have built an app to load a file (the .pbp file which is created when you compile something). You shouldnt need to use the swap trick/kxploit. |

Update - the source has been greatly improved. If I can, I would like to help out get a basic text editor using the p-sprint methods into this shell, so that you could use it to make notes, edit config files and so on. Let me know if I can do anything to help. (I'll have a look at the source later - just completed a lot of work into the latest version of p-sprint and its documentation)
EDIT: I also did some testing and I really like the File Assistant right now. For renaming, you really need a '.' character in that alphabet. Also, when I try to run .elf files that work in the Launcher, my PSP shuts down. But Eboots seem to run fine, very nice! |

Excellent work Arwin!
I'm just in the process of setting up a source control server which will allow people to make their own additions to the project.
I'll post the server settings etc. once it's setup correctly.

I've got the new bottom pngs here, so that they won't cut off the text.

Cool :)
Yup, GIF support is definitely on the cards, as are playlists.
I'm in the process of setting up a bug/suggestion database where people can log all their requests (and I can keep track of them all).
Wath this space!

thanks, i think this is the most useful psp run app yet. definately happy i didn't update.
also thank for the heads up about executables might just change my folders back. i don't have any elfs.
i know you intend to use psprint but is there any chance of including a qwerty keyboard like the one in psp reader as i still can't get the hang of psp print
ps: about the text reader i like the black background with the white text. |

would be nice if you could add
T-9 support with p-sprint
just like some cellphones use
T-9 displays commenly used
words as your typing your text
i believe if p-sprint would implement
this feature then text input would
be much more easier
right now i think the idea of
including a qwerty keypad like
that text reader would be excellent for
this file assistant ....seeing as p-sprint
needs a little getting used to
but if T-9 was implemented then
i think text input would be more
simplified......71M great work
this is already replacing my older
versions of file assistant
also i could not find a battery gauge
or menu similiar to these older versions
if you could include this feature would be great
also ftpd NEEDS to be included
this is a must as usb is a pain to
use everytime i would need to make
very simple minor changes or need to
transfer highly used files
keep up the excellent work
bug: when pressing home (exit game
screen is shown like usual but only for
a nanosecond!!) or select
or start the app crashes then returns
to psp menu
just my 2 cents

Oh yeah, sorry, that is a debug button that I left in!
Useful for reloading a newly compiled PBP :)
Hopefully with the next release I'll have had time to write up a proper user guide. Sorry for any confusion.

Killer App!
However, one small bug i noticed. Moving or Copying large files crashes my machine.
Within CFileSystem.cpp, in CFileSystem::CopyFile
u8 * p_buffer( new u8[ src_length ] );
Attempts to create a p_buffer as large as the source file.
Could this be the reason it crashes when I try to copy/move large files?
It has been a while since I did any programming.
Thank you for your excelent contribution to PSP homebrew. |

No, thank you for finding bugs for me :)
I'll take a look at that when I get home tonight.

I agree it takes a bit of getting used to, but I'm starting to actually become faster than I was with automatic word lookup functions before! The keys aren't very hard to memorise, as there is a certain logic to how they have been mapped. I will have to finetune a few of the keys ( the normal brackets '(' and ')' and the ! and ? keys need to be accessible easier, they will probably come where '[' and ']' are used).
I'll do my best to make some software and perhaps graphics to help people get used to this system quicker though. |

> Finally somebody releases code on how to enable USB!!!
As mentioned, this is not new. See the SDK sample "usb/storage"
NOTE: this is not general USB support. This is only USB Storage mode, like running "Drive Mode" in the background.
Very easy to add to your own programs to reduce the stick swapping needed. |

If you have a v1.5 PSP then extract the 1.5 rar file into your PSP/GAME folder. Or if you have a v1.0, extract the 1.0 rar file into PSP/GAME/FileAssistant.
That should install it.
Cheers,

Downloaded the rar, extracted it and copied the 1.5 files to the psp, but I get the "Game cannot be played" error.
Do you have to add irx files or something?
-edit-
hmm. Turns out it didn't like the way the folders were named for the hide of the corrupted data. I removed the ___1 etc. and it starts up.
Very very cool app. |

When you press SELECT, does the screen go black and the app restart?
If so, then yes, it is running a PBP, itself! :)
I'm sorry if you're having problems running executables on a v1.0, I only have access to a v1.5 PSP so I can't test that functionality.
The next release should hopefully have these problems solved, just need to be a little bit patient :)

The screen just goes black, for about 4-6 seconds then machine turns off.
And it's not my app, cos it works outside your file assistant, and if i try to run the file assistant from inside itself it does exactly the same :(
PS, I'm not dissin ya, or anything, just trying to help by feeding you with problems i'm having with it, and yes, i'm gonna be patient and wait for another update, as I think this is gonna be a great app :) continue the good work. |

No worries Bagger :)
I'll do my best to try and fix this feature as it'll probably be the most useful part of the application.
Can anymore crashs, bugs or suggestions be posted in the new thread that I created, thanks.

This is great, but do you think you can add a picture slideshow option, that plays of all images in a specific folder, and maybe add video playback? That would really make this app complete :) _________________ Fly you fools... |

Hopefully I'll be releasing a new version byt the end of this weekend, and a slideshow option will be in.
I did experiment with video playback earlier on in the week, but I'd need to do a lot of work to get it properly integrated with FA.
Thanks for your support,
