Novità interessanti per PsiX e per il Firmware 2.00

Ivan · 15 Settembre 2005

Novità dal team di PsiX, Dashboard alternativa per PSP attualmente in lavorazione.
Fanno infatti sapere che lo sviluppo sta attraversando un momento di pausa in virtù di alcune questioni che il Team sta svolgendo in questo periodo; niente paura comunque, le immagini e le info rilasciate fanno ben sperare!
Previste infatti tantissime funzionalità tra cui un motore interno in grado di eseguire immagini ISO.
Di seguito potete leggere quello che l'autore ha voluto far sapere:

Currently, Psix is in a non working state, due to various implimentations and experiments with things i've wanted and attempted to include, there is a long list of features yet to include which are pushing me against a wall, so right now what im doing is working with a simple base (the osk/cursor) and making individual features for the base, and trying to work them into the current build, there are a few things which currently elude my grasp, the most notable being the ability to launch homebrew without completely removing psix from memory, as loadexec works fine, but only if you plan to simply quit the current process and start another, which isn't what we want!, i need to be able to hook the home key, or at the very least, have an ingame-reset style combination to return the user to the shell, without that, the point of the shell is pretty much defunct.
I've had a fair ammount of people say "But fastloader can do it!", but please understand, launching prx's and retail boot.bins, isn't the same as launching homebrew!, homebrew likes to take up lots of mem! and if you so code it to behave and not do so, for an odd reason it doesn't run.
A possible solution would be to ask developers to make their home buttons load up a universal eboot, which will do what it's told to in a config file, such as loadshell=/psix/eboot.pbp or returntoxmb=yes etc, however the chances of every developer out there doing this is very slim!
Also due to the nature of the animations and transitions im using with psix, if i try to include to much in the shell, i run out of memory, malloc errors are becomming very common due to the total rapage of system memory, so im working towards reducing the frame count of animations, and shaving off file sizes here and there, so yes, memory handling is a big headache for the time being, as you can see from the above image, psix is very eye-candy, and that eye candy takes up space, something which is like gold-dust to the psp.
Yet more problems!, i'm having a weird issue with the dropdown config menu, in that if you open the OSK or menu's whilst the animation of the dropdown is playing, the shell completely crashes!, ah well, for the sake of closure, i will now list current features and planned features, and features i've noted but removed for practicle reasons

Current features :

- Load icon image from homebrew eboot (currently loads the corner of the image , not very useful yet).
- Draggable icons with location's stored to conf.db (so it's like you left it when you restart).
- Renamable shortcuts.
- Changable icon images.
- OSK (Onscreen keyboard, see below).
- My PSP setup configuration (change psp settings such as region, button configuration, language, etc).
- Switchable background wallpapers, Background tiles if the image doesn't fit, will stretch too (from config) eventually.
- MP3 Player with fully working visual equaliser, though currently it goes out of sync/slows down unless you set cpu to 333 (needs optimising, crashes when large mp3's are played).
- UMD Config (to-do, will allow playback of any region umd video, bypassing firmware requirement).
- ISO Tab (This is NOT an iso loader, it will allow people to create homebrew iso packs, so they can easilly transfer different packs without moving multiple files, it also means homebrew developers can release single-file applications, and eliminate the need for specific file placement).
- Net tab (Not for browser, calm down!, it's for network updates of the psix shell, and for homebrew iso packs)
- FTPD (FTP Daemon, to allow ftp access to the psp via wifi

To do :

- RSS newsfeed reader, which will display the news across the bottom tab bar when active.
- Image viewer - Self explanitory
- Wifi configuration
- Email application
- Sound configuration (for menus)
- MS Duo tools
- Screensaver (So you dont have to switch it off of course!)
- Basic web browser (text based browser for various uses, not planning anything too fancy, i don't have long enough to write code parsers for all html, lol)
- Standalone mp3 player

Removed:

- Video player (Basically this was implimented as a test but would only play RAW video with poor sound quality and 2 second out of sync, it will be re-added in future when it's a more feasable feature, for the time being the video tab will be used to manage video files on the psp.
- Fullscreen Visualisation for audio (Wouldn't work at a decent speed, would cause malloc errors ALOT).

P.s. remember, it's my birthday! *hints at below donate button *

Altre novità, sempre dallo stesso team arrivano sul fronte del decrypt del firmware 2.00.
In un filmato rilasciato infatti si vedono tutte le voci menù modificate, così come la versione del firmware...
Questo non rappresenta nulla di nuovo sul fronte dell'hack ma lascia comunque capire che un passo alla volta si può comunque arrivare finalmente a comprendere del tutto (e quindi a modificare come ci pare e piace) il codice del 2.00.

ust a little video i made to prove that any future videos involving the psps original shell, and "hacks", are no longer a reliable source of proof, as you can see in the video my psps version number is "Version 6.66 internal Development unit".
Tthis was done by changing code in flash0:/vsh/resource/topmenu_plugin.rco for an edited version taken from the v2.00 data.psar, the version number was done by editing the version code from sysconf_plugin.rco, and extending the text to overlap the end by deleting the "internal error has occured" text, basically from the image below, you can write anything you want in this area, the wrap begins around the l of "internal" depending on the length of the word used, have fun but try not to brick your psp k?

Ce la faranno....

cmq metto il link http://www.naoneo.com/

nn aspetto altro per comprarmi la psp

tra l'altro non capisco l'ultima news nel loro sito

Psix filesystem 8:03pm, September 16th, 2005 ~ entry 10

Some more information reguarding the psix shell and its file system.

Psix\
Psix\eboot.pbp
Psix\Core\
Psix\Core\psix.dat
Psix\Core\Reg.dat
Psix\Core\xanxion.crx
Psix\Modules\.psi
Psix\Mplayer\
Psix\Mplayer\core.elf
Psix\Mplayer\core.psi
Psix\Mplayer\playlist.dat
Psix\Mplayer\sys.dat
Psix\Mplayer\Skin\
Psix\Mplayer\Skin\Default.zip
Psix\Music\
Psix\Music\\*mp3 or *.ogg
Psix\Skins\
Psix\Skins\Default.zip
Psix\Skins\TS_light.zip
Psix\Soft\
Psix\Soft\Games\\eboot.pbp
Psix\Soft\Application\\eboot.pbp
Psix\Xanxion\
Psix\Xanxion\Intro.elf

The modules folder will be used for 3rd party modules which will be run, enabled and disabled from the psix system configuration menu.

The structure of the ISO filesystem for psix is as follows.

data.ini contaols the following data

[config]
title= Iso Title (can be up to 12 chars, this sets the default icon title for the desktop)
icon= icon-name.png (only used for type=0, single file mode, in multple file mode, icon.png from each eboot's data folder is used.)
system= (100 or 150, this specifies which folder to read from)
type= (0 or 1, 0 for single file, 1 for multiple file, note that multiple file will retreive all eboot.pbp's from the set system folder)
version= (numerical value only, this tells psix the current version number of the iso file, to be used and stored in psix.dat, so auto-updater knows if a program requires an update)
upex (0 or 1, 0 lets psix know that it may update the software if told to, 1 locks the iso to prevert automatic updating)

Upon release of a beta, i will additionally release a windows program to create the iso files for you, though people may do them themselves.
Psix will support normal eboot.pbp files, placed in its game, or application folders, as well as the iso implimentation.
