Deniska, I thought I'd run this by you before I jumped in to the program since my C++ skills are only as good as a single semester of programming in university.
I'm thinking of making a 2.71 SE-C PRX that would parse and interpret the usbgps.prx output as serial input. That way I can use the sony gps in your MapThis program. I have been dying to use your program with GPS, but I never got around to buying a receiver. Now I just bought the sony version since it's a good $30 less than the PC versions. If this is successful then I could probably also do the reverse and make the PRX also accept serial input and interpret it as usbgps.prx output.
Now, as I said, my programming skills are pretty crappy, but I can't let my gps go to waste so I'm willing to install the toolchain and build the program myself if I have to. But I'm also wondering if you could pound out a program like that in a day or two? If so, it might be more expedient if you took up the task. Or if you're planning on implementing usbgps support in MapThis, I may just wait for that.
Please let me know what you think. The sooner you reply, the sooner I can decide what I'll do, be it waiting or programming or whatever.
Thanks!
If you agree i can send you the .psd layered file. And, if you want i can try to redisign logo, splashscreen, etc... of MapThis!.
I'd like to contribute to this fantastic project.
PS
it's possibile that the gpsf map are slower on my psp than the older, uncompressed, ones?
after you click "download the map" and you go into the preview screen with all the tiles to check/uncheck, is there a way to cancel that screen? or after if starts to downlaod. I just quit the program.
Sure thing, just attach your new versions to this thread (zipped) and 'll use them .. if I like what I see..
gpsfs may be slightly slower than open directory structure on really large maps (1024x+)... it would also take longer to startup since it's reading the indexes in to memory for faster access.. but it has it's benefits...
You can always "unzip" it and load the good old directory structure on your MS...
Well, that's the idea. This should be usable in devhook as well once it's finished.
The only problem is if I have to program it alone I'll have to take a crashcourse in PSP programming before I can start. I'm hoping the nature of a GPS unit will make it easier on me. Maybe only turning it on and off and parsing the stream of data.
If it's similar to the function calls that I found for the chotto shot it should take a minimal amount of time, but again, I'm not an experienced programmer, so don't hold your breath while you wait. It could be months.
ok, let's start from the beginning.
