Hi all,

Here is a new release of AFKIM (Away From the Keyboard Instant Messenger),
the instant messaging application for PSP written by Danzel !

My contribution to this projet is still MINOR, all credits should remain to Danzel
(see http://localhost.geek.nz/)

What's new then ?

- Add iso 8859-1 font/characters compatibility (useful for french, spanish, german etc ... ;))
- Add modified version of Danzeff Keyboard with iso 8859-1 characters
- Code cleaning

Have a look to the file README-irkbd.txt for mapping informations etc ...

The IR keyboard part has been tested using a Targus Universal IR Wireless keyboard.


Enjoy, Zx

Yeah man!

Spanish fonts! I needed this. Awesome!

I'm latin and I'm always trying to type as perfect as I can, and without the á, é and such on AFKIM I couldn't type very well. Now with this I will.

Thanks.

Hi I'm new here, but this messenger is for? As in connecting to msn or?

[zx-81]

yes, msn, yahoo etc ... all protocols supported by bitlbee :


BitlBee currently supports the following IM networks/protocols: XMPP/Jabber (including Google Talk), MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, AIM and ICQ.

Oh, thanks, by the way, I have heard that you need a homebrew loader to run it, erm, for a psp slim, any loaders in mind? :)

EDIT: Ok, I think i'm asking a stupid question, its included with the new customise firmware i can download.

I've got a blackscreen problem...
I'm using the 3.52M33/4, and whan I launch the app, the memstick justs stops running, and the psp reboots 20 seconds later... can someone please help me?

Hi, I have a problem with AFKIM 3.3.0 fw3x.

I am on PSP Slim 3.71 m33-4 fw. When I try to connect to the afkim service, I get "unable to resolve host" about 5 times, then it proceeds to turn off my psp.

What is the issue?

[St33L_Di9iTaL]

I really wish I could use AFKIM and PSPIRC =(. They both would serve me very well.

Could it be because I'm running 333mhz? Would that affect it?
I know (as I posted in the other PSPIRC thread) the guy that had problems with PSPIRC connecting, he had network setting issues or either the way you handle the networking on program for psp.

He set his settings to auto, which resolved his problem, could be something easy as he just didn't have his settings right, but I know for fact that my network settings are right. They are done as manual, and I can not set to auto as the psp won't register my dns correctly.

i've never tried to run afkin at 333 Mhz (i see only drawbacks to proceed this way).

You may try to specify static settings for your wireless network configuration (static IP, static DNS etc ...) and see if it works better ?

mine just says connecting for ever

mine just says connecting for ever

does any homebrew using network work with your wifi network ? (pspirc ? pspssh ? sce browser ?)

[archer991103]

This is a great program, thanks for this please relay my gratitude to the other contributors to the project.

I have one problem though. When registering an account, I get a time out in resolving, and when it fails the program just hangs. Do I have to configure something in the firmware? or in the wifi network? I'm not really familiar with irc. btw, i'm on 3.52 m33/4. Thanks in advance.

[zx-81]

you may try version 3.3.0, because the resolver function is not blocking (but it fails more often than the simple one of version 3.3.1)

[archer991103]

I'm already on version 3.3.0 fw3x. There's a 3.3.1? Thanks.

Argh! After I upgraded to 3.90 M33-2, the AFKIM keyboard won't work! I'm using the Targus universal wireless and have tried enabling and disabling pikey, and also deleting pikey altogether.




Does anyone know whats going on?



Thanks!

[zx-81]

I know there are issues with 3.90 and IR keyboard, that's why i'm still using 3.71-m33 ... btw i really don't know what is going on ...

[zx-81]

Afkim doesn't work anymore due to a minor change in the authentication on bitlbee server (thanks to LegolasFett for pointing out this issue).


I will fix it ASAP
