New Code Contribution

it was great to see neiko implement the left/right shoulder button to jump poi by 10... i was wishing this to come since i have so many poi's for melbourne area, since i only just moved here... and thanks to gode's eboot for generic gps as well.. awesome guys... keep it coming.... but no rush... cos atm i'm so content with mapthis! as it is, i'm jumping for joy everytime i use it to go places... mayb the only thing is mayb fix the icons to a single pic instead of double... i've noticed that everytime it loads a single it crashes.. but using the default icons seems to be fine tho...

cheers guys...

Because Nieko said that vector data can be extracted from the open-source openstreetmap data.

vector data is still in development.. it is one of the reasons wy I am re-writing the rendering routines...

Hi Guys

I've finally managed to get a stable version of mapthis 0501 with hw mp3 player.
Did take some time, however I learned a lot about PSP dev and debugging.

So what has been done?

• Replaced the sw mp3player with the hw mp3player
  So e.g. all POI sounds is now played via hw mp3 player
  The hw mplayer should be working on "1.5fw mode" and 3.xx fw's
• I've fixed a bit on the GUI integration with mapthis itself. E.g. should not crash or lock anymore when you enter e.g the "option menu".
• For album picture it now takes the first jpg or png it encounters in the current song folder and show its (still noresize etc.)
  BTW: is there a de facto naming standard for album/song picture in a folder (except from being integrated in the mp3 file)?

As usual I like to share this with you and maybe get some feed back.
My main task is still to narrow out bugs, then add features.
I've only tested in on my "3.52 M33-4" firmware (fat psp) and I still need to go for a drive with :-)
It also seem to perform quite well in GPS mode and when scrolling/zooming the maps.

Deniska:
First of all I'm sorry that I added "MP3" to the EBOOT icon, but I needed a way to separate official and "modded" version on the psp :-)

And: sorry for the somewhat messy state of the source code, I'll be "tidying" up a bit a later stage.

GoDE: I've turned of the "beep" when zooming and in "mp3 mode". This should resolve the autozoom feature?

TODO:
- clean code a bit
- PRX ?
- better mp3 ID3 handling
- better album pic handling

Cheers

Does this E-boot work on the Generic GPS also or only the PSP GPS 290?

good stuff

I did some basic testing on the slim and it works with some minor problems..
You should probably check if the MUSIC folder is there or perhaps use more common /PSP/MUSIC

Also, it's probably better to re-use existing graphics for bars and windows (you can just cut or concatenate pieces of it to achieve any size you need.)
- using circle seems to interfere with path drawing function
the mp3 mode is a bit confusing (at least in the begining). I kept changing songs instead of rotating map and vice versa..

So I'll wait with incorporating this in to official version.. Anyway, now it's (official version) is a mess because of the rendering routines re-design and vector maps logic inserts

I'm very exited to get this to work.
Too bad I did not bring my PSP to work.
I never got IRShell to work with map this and the mp3 player.

Why should you have album art ?

Keep your eyes on the road :S

But very good addon anyways, don't get me wrong here, i like EVERY contribution so far.

No, it won't. However you can test the EBOOT attached to this post. I havn't really tested the this (generic) version, so feedback would be nice.

Good idea, I'll was thinking about actually using the config file for this. E.g via MUSICFOLDER key.

I'll look into that, I might have forgotten to "exclude" that key action when in "mp3 mode".

Yes, I know. I'm doing the same thing myself. It's easy to forget that one is in "mp3 mode". Basically, the logic is like this:

• Mp3 mode : song bar visible
• Mapthis mode: song bar not visible

The reason that I've use the "CIRCLE" button to enter "mp3 mode", is a lot easier to press than e.g. "start" or "tone" while driving.

Good point! Just seemed a bit more "pro" :-) I feel that "gadget/wow" factor is important when showing of to friends:-)

I'm trying :-)

I did a few tests yesterday in the car. It performed quite well, I noticed a few "irritating" things I like to fix up.
So maybe in a few more days, I might have a more "mature" version.

Thx for the feedback folks.

Cheers

Cool,
I'll try it today when I get home...
Thanx
