While waiting for someone heps me with graphics, i remade whole 2 first levels. I know they are not good enought, but gives you an idea about what i'm looking for.

Best regards

I wrote a little paint/sketch program.
Here a first version
It has 3 modes: keyboard, stylus and Stylus-DragAndDrop(click for the startpoint and release for the endpoint of each line.)
To run, drag the "Drag" of the mode you selected and drop it to the "Drop" of "Drop here!".
To return to the mode-screen, press START.
To quit, turn the power off.

It doesn't support saving, but i hope i can add this feature (i dont know how).

This is an important news. The release of the next version of nd will arrive in few days, and it will be correlated with new applications and a better documentation for all developers.

In this time, you can try this version of Nanodesktop Blind Assistant 0.1.

Blind Assistant is a tecnology developed in Visilab Research Center of University of Messina - Italy, by Filippo Battaglia.

It is a program that uses PSP for help blind children or blind men. This program is able to recognizes the name of the people that are present in that moment in the room. In the future, we'll release more complex version of the program, with a better speed of recognition and with network support, and support for GPS and collision avoidance.

The program uses new tecnologies that will be available in nd 0.3.2, the next version of nd, as the engine of Vocal Synthesis ndFLite, developed by Carnegie Mellon University, the tecnology PentLand PCA EigenFaces developed by Intel (ndOpenCV libraries), the NanoC, the NanoTile accelerator and the EMI mathematical acceleration developed
by Filippo Battaglia.

The homebrew is available here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/64246242...POC01.zip.html

It is only a proof of concept of the program: some menu items don't work and it is normal. The speed is not optimized yet. It is only to understand
what the program is able to do.

If you want to use Blind Assistant, you have to download Eyeserver from Visilab website:

http://visilab.unime.it/~filippo/Nan...ver%20main.htm

Install Eyeserver on PC with a webcam (this is a temporaneus solution, we are working on GoCam support for PSP), and copy the driver
ndUsbDriver.Prx on your memory stick.

After, copy the directory BLINDASSISTANT that is in the zip BlindAssistant-POC01.zip in the root folder of the memory stick. Install also the application (EBOOT.PBP) in your PSP.

Remember that Blind Assistant requires a PSP-FAT with fw 1.50 or a FAT with CF and 1.50 emulation.

After, run Eyeserver on PC, connect a webcam to the PC and connect the PSP to a second USB port.

Start BlindAssistant. The BA-core will reconfigure automatically your memory stick. If it says that it is unable to connect with the camera, you can try to detach and after attach the PSP USB connect to PC,
and after you can choose Retry in the error wizard.

If it is all ok, you could see your image on the screen of PSP. Choose a slot. It will appear a wizard that will guide you in the training of the system. Blind Assistant needs 4 faces for person
to do a good analysis of the features of a face.

Try to do training with two people of your family: when you complete, Nanodesktop will generate the new vocal samples and it will register them on your memory stick. After, you'll hear EAS (Envelope Audio
Support) that executes these samples without using of CPU.

The PSP could be able to recognize where the people that are subjects of the trainings are in the room and it could say where are.

Remember that, if you stop the program and if you restart it, Nanodesktop will recall automatically all informations you have registered during the training phase.

Good, now I'll return to work with the next version of nd. You'll have other informations soon.


***
N.B. This version of Blind Assistant is released **ONLY** as proof-of-concept. With the next version of our site, we'll release an official version that is fully working
***

Thanks for the attention.

Webcam Client and Server Suite for the Sony PSP

I am proud to announce the release of the skyPSP Webcam Client and Server suite for the Sony PSP.

What is it?:
The skyPSP Webcam Suite is a pair of applications which transform your PSP into a mobile webcam studio.

These homebrew applications are written in C and do not use HTML or the PSP's web browser.

Server Application - Controls and Other Information:

The server application turns your PSP into a mobile webcam, using the GoCam!/ChottoShot camera for the Sony PSP.

FTP server and the GoCam!/ChottoShot camera ARE REQUIRED for the SERVER application.

Edit the skyPSP.cfg file and add your own ftp login information.

Run the program, it will connect to the first network.
Once it has connected to the network, it will prompt you to connect the camera and press X.
Upon doing so your memory stick and wlan LEDs will flash wildly (saving the cam image, uploading it).
Visit your FTP via whatever url to your domain: the image will be saved as www.yourdomain.com/skyPSPcam.jpg

Video of Server Application:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh7cks5SawQ
Client Application - Controls and Other Information:


The client application allows you to view webcam streams on five of the seven continents, in over ten countries.

You DO NOT need an FTP server, or the GoCam!/ChottoShot camera for the CLIENT application.

Snapshots will be posted to my own FTP server and can be viewed at:
http://www.califrag.com/skypsp/

Holding the L button when the program starts will save EVERY image to the ms0:/PICTURE/skyPSP/ folder.

Otherwise, if you would like to save a picture, press R anytime to save a snapshot into the ms0:/PICTURE/snapshots/ folder.

The folders will automatically be created so don't worry about that.

If you set up the FTP server information in the .cfg file, the snapshots will automatically upload to your own server.

If not, you can view snapshots at:
http://www.califrag.com/skypsp/
Note that everyones snapshots will be posted here and you'll have to browse through them.

Press R Trigger to take a snapshot (as described above)

Left and Right will change to previous or next webcam

Up or Down will enable webcam auto-cycle which will either go to the next or previous webcam after each refresh.

Press Triangle to stop the webcam auto-cycle.

Press X to enable "Theatre Mode"

Press O to switch between grayscale and color mode.

After startup, pressing the L Trigger will toggle between 1 and 2 second refresh.

There are over 40 webcams included in this release:
(and more to be added in future releases!)

This uses pgeFont engine by Insert_Witty_Name, which I've modified slightly (and released the modified source at psp-programming).

The graphics aren't polished as this is a BUILD 1 (alpha) release.

Also, due to the varying nature of the internet, when a webcam goes down and does not post images, it will

As of right now, only nforce and VIA chipsets are supported in 100% software read/write of the BenQ drive with DosFlash(info). Success varies dependent upon which motherboard you have (intel (ICH) seems to be problematic combined with VIA)

- BenQ optimization in unlocking the flash chip, it should now be possible to read/write/erase the flash without any soldering or wire tricks, the drive is polled for the correct mtk unlocking status after power on, this only works for VIA cards and NForce boards atm
- DosFlash32 has one additional parameter, if you start it with the parameter "EnableDrives" all the DVD-ROMs are enabled in device manager after flashing, this could give BSOD on some systems, therefor you need to create a DosFlash32 link and add that parameter manual to use it
- DosFlash16 has one additional parameter "Send ATAPI Device Reset" in manual mode, this could give better chances for soft flashing on some VIA - motherboard combinations
- better support of Intel chipsets, drives can now be flashed if the controller is not set to native mode in the BIOS
- the following controller list includes vendor and device IDs that are hardcoded to identify the controller type (IDE or SATA), this is needed if the BIOS uses IDE ports like 0x01F0 or 0x0170 as SATA and not as IDE channels, this list is NOT related to soft flashing

NOTE: This is a *BETA*. It is being released to help fix any problems within the program, and to hopefully increase compatibility. Your *constructive* feedback is wanted! So please post in either the XBH or the X-S threads below with your success/failure and specific steps. Use at your own risk!!!

Also, there is NO 'xtreme' firmwares for this drive yet, so as of right now this tool is only useful for getting your key, and using a different drive as a replacement. ixtreme for benq is nearly complete, and in testing stages. No ETA given for release.
