This is my very first public demo of anything involving the GBA or DS, and it is just a simple test of Rigid Skinning of a mesh with bones. I'm just assuming this is considered Rigid Skinning because each vertex is linked to a certain bone, and are manipulated that way (I've been taking close observations of how Maya did skinning). All matrix calculations were done by manual code, though I'm hoping to figure out the problem I'm having with trying to use the DS's matrix registers (could just be an emulator thing, since I have nothing to get testing on real hardware).

Everything was entered by hand (bones, vertices, etc), but I hope to learn a bit of Maya scripting so that I could export a model (and maybe animation) in the format I use to be used. I also hope to some day find out how Smooth Skinning works, since Rigid Skinning has it's limits.

Here it is everyone, I'm so excited to be releasing my first game. It seemed only yesterday (because it was) that I was confused as crap by C++ on the psp, so I decided to use Lua .

Now, mainly to get myself acquainted with the language, I programmed a simple running game similar to those track and field and olympic games for the consoles which I love and can't wait for a psp version.

It is only text based at the moment, partly because I was having a hard time making simple running animations or images, but with time, I'm sure they'll some together and I'd really love to slip them in there as soon as possible. However, there are a few things I want to do first, as outlined in the readme.

Please give me feedback as I would love to know how to make my programming better and if you actually like playing the game(I would like to know if you do!), what should be on my future improvement list?

Anyways, This is the most exciting thing to happen to me in a long time, so I'm really proud of myself right now. Hope you like it.

Changes Since V0.6 Mod

-Index.lua is now system.lua in system folder

-Thumbnail path is now no longer fixed

-Fixed a mistype which caused the script to crash when adding a folder to playlist

-Removed that annoying sound that played everytime you pressed a direction key

-Button to play DVD (option to automatically switch to remotecontrol after pressing)

-Button to restart XBMC (By using new left shoulder button modifier)

-Fixed the play timer so it gives you a very slightly inaccurate position of music\video

-Fixed the issue with getcurrentlyplaying with a Time of nil

-Left shoulder button modifier
holding the left shoulder button in combination with others will trigger alternative actions
Currently (holding left trigger)
Left and Right (Previous and Next, (for music, videos or picutures))
Up and down (on shutdown button will cycle though 2 available options, restart or shutdown xbox)
Cross (sync with the xbox)

-Static writing which were drawn at runtime
Writing which remained from V0.2 in the remote control screen
Writing at the top of the main screens
Have now been moved to the background PNGs
A mild performace increase

-neatened code (well in my eyes anyways) and reorganised functions and made less use of variables
A mild performace increase

-Reduced the length of the now playing scroller which caused most lag and timeouts if it were too long
A HUGE performance increase
--

Known Bugs.
--
--Controls are now extremely responsive. I am currently thinking this is due to the performance increase
unless I broke something elsewhere. I played around with the delay settings in settings.ini but no
change. Having spent a few hours dribbing at this problem Ive given up

--If you have a playlist playing already before you logged on using the PSP. Next and previous functions
dont work untill the script makes its own local playlist (eg by playing a file)

Ideas (May need a whole redesign for these and might beyond my reach)
--
"viewing picture of pictures" display (Eg Picture 5 of 13)
--RSS feeds
--getting screenshots in remote controls and for displaying pictures
I have that almost working
--using getsysteminfo to get more information (EG Weather)
sounds\looks easy...now a matter of doing it
--playlists for all media
current problem is depending on which screen your under (video, music, pictures) it will attempt to play the
first file using the command it that screen requires (eg displaypicture for an MP3)
A way to distinguish between video, file and pictures is nescessary and (like xbox) a list of extensions will
need to be kept locally and updated
--play whole folder without viewing it
kinda like pressing select on a folder to add them to a play list
--unicode or a way of converting characters to a more readable form

The Ushell is out now :
It play's mp3 located in ms0:/ushell/mp3.mp3
It has a Background changer that remain were ever u go Exept The PSP Counter
TODO:
Fix The Background for counter... and mp3 changing ... USB Actvation and a lot more
U can see the readme file 2....
It can be started on DA 2.71 SE-A
Update v0.11 :
fixed the bug for black backgound on mp3 start.
////// and it takes less memory on cash..

BEFORE ANYTHING, I WOULd LIKE TO THANKS AND GIVE MOST OF THE CREDIT TO Sorin P. C who make the pmfplayer AND THANKS TO DARK_ALEX FOR MAKING THE CUSTOM FIRMWARE!

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?
This is almost like HelloPRX by Sousanator except it plays PMF files instead of displaying ascii.
This program will play a PMF (length does not matter now! you can make your pmf how ever long you want!) file after you do a hardboot. During the movie, you can press X to skip the movie...However, the movie will freeze and if you press X right when the movie is about to be over.

THIS SHOULD NOT BRICK YOUR PSP SINCE YOU HAVE ALEX'S CUSTOM FIRMWARE OR HARLY OR ANOTHER CUZTOM FIRMWARE INSTALLED!!!

You can see an example here

NOTE: YOU CAN ONLY USE .PMF MOVIES

Requirements:
