Mapviewer:::WIP & screenshot
I paused my porting projects and desided to work on a portable map viewer for PSP (code name MapThis!)
Here is a shot from a current (very buggy version):
http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/images/mapthis.jpg
The application will allow to:
- scroll though 3100x2500 pix map, covering ~ 52sq mi area with city level details.
- zoomout (currently very buggy)
- access area's attractions info (currently just restaurants) with name/address/phone
- mapping to gps coordinates, allowing the posibility of external gps feed
- one map with attrcations data takes ~ 1Mb of space on MS
-application will come with a linux/cygwin script to generate map tiles and data from public sources for given address. The script can be wraped in to a cgi wrapper and therefore turned in to a web service.
Please contact me if you can lend a USB based GPS mouse for my experiments or want to work on the gps communication part (Ideally, I would want to create a USB driver, so it can be plugged in w/o soldering.. not sure yet if this is possible though)
deniska i love your work here your a gr8 contributer can i get some advice bro?
awsome stuff deniska if it helps at all ive got upstate NY mapped out a bit already ;)
i basicly made them home made with mapquest .com ...
i found my local area and saved the maps as pics now the ONLY WAY TO DO THAT ON MAP QUEST IS TO RIHGT CLICK ON THE MAP AND CHOOSE set as background.......so i save ALL my pics first and then i use PSP PHOTO FORMATER to shrink these to 480 x 272 then a place ALL MY MAPS IN THE PHOTO FOLDER...
this way you can actually zoom in and zoom out easily....so it was a quick way to get around in my state i have a few KINDS of maps as well...:D .for example i also saved a NY STATE RD. MAP ;)
so i know where all the major highways connect n such .so i think this is one of the best ideas EVER for HB!!:eek: :D ..im ALL ABOUT HOMEBREW MAPS GR8 IDEA Bro!!!!! your def one of my fav. here at dcemu ;) awsome work keep fighting the good fight i love your games and your site ....

Thank you very much for this message, but you need to know that the game was amde by using a game maker program for pc windows, called multimedia fusion.
A port on the psp would be awesome, but all you need is to find how to corectly emulate windows to run this game on your psp! (i know it should be very hard!)
our next mail chat

the game was made usng a game maker program, SO they don't are any C/C++ source file, only a Multimedia Fusion save file.
You can't port it to a PSP game without remaking all yourself in a C/C++ language, so it's like making a new game
and what the hell is multi media fusion well i asked that to actually ...heres that :
