Yeah and for a two posting Noob that cant understand that Deniska is doing this for free and donations and maby he had to take a day off programming a freeware for reasons unknown!?
( He may be sick, or just needed a break. ) is it hard to wait just a couple of days more than two perhaps ??

Or do you suppose that people that work for free always hold their deadlines ?
Give him a break, Geeez...

Actually, I did get a bit sick, but that is not the main reason for the delay..
I was getting mixed reports from some of my testers so I wanted to investigate more.. Apparently some of the comm problems were due to a faulty cable that pc-mobile.com folks donated to me... since it was an early prototype, there was a small short in the cable, which would occur whenever the cable is moved/bent..

I had to put together a new cable myself and do some extra testing to rule out the software fault.. plus i want to patch some small memory bug in the new zoom algorithm which causes occasional lockups... so hand on for a few more days.. it's coming..

Well, I decided to post the test version (with bugs mentioned above) so people can start testing and giving feedback..
It must be ran under 3.xx kernel and should work on both thin and phat psps..
- set HOLUX4SLIM=1 to use with generic gps receiver (holux gpslim236-240, M1000-1200, etc)
- set HOULX4SLIM=0 to use with psp-290 gps unit.
Note that you need to restart the program after changing the state of this variable, as it loads the required modules on startup.

when used with generic gps unit, you can control the sound output following way:
if the serial port plugged in AFTER the program is started - the sound will be routed to internal speakers. if the serial port plug is in during the program's startup then the sound will go to headphones..

have fun..
I'll post more stable version in a few days..

Hello Deniska! If you would be so kind,please post images of both slim and fat psp serial plugs,and mark on them which pins are the same so I can solder my Neoflash Motion Kit to Slim serial plug and use it

I will be very happy if you do it :thumbup:
