MSX one of our forum members has released a new app for the PSP made via Lua, heres what he says:

I've been coding and testing all night in Lua, and I've come up with something that's somewhat useful, well, I guess not useful, but this is my first PSP app .

Basically this will output whichever button you press to the PSP screen, except for Home, Vol +/-, Display Brightness, and the Musical Note buttons. It isn't too hard, but if you put too much power into it, you can turn the PSP off instead of turning Hold off (if you press it to show the output on the screen).

You can go into and out of USB mode while still in this program. Read the readme to see the controls for clearing the screen, starting USB mode, and exiting USB mode.

I think that covers it...hopefully I'll release a more advanced game soon

Shiaoran: Yeah, it's not very useful, but it's a good starting point for someone that's getting into Lua programming...almost all of the buttons are used, so you can check the source and see how they were used to output text.

I'll release a commented source tonight or tomorrow.
