[ejv21]

hey just curious... when is .5 going to be released? just anxious

[Codaz]

Hmm Deniska said 1,5 weeks ago that it'll ready in a week. So i'm expecting it soon. Deniska hasn't got all the time of the world haha.

Hi just found about this whole psp gps just interested if anyone has any feed back from the maps in australia???

[webznz]

this is a pretty killer app.
the earlyer version's where great but really lacked that nice finishing that we aer starting to see! very cool interface etc, starting to get the most out of the (well n my case) PSP-290 cause of the ability to lower the clock frequincy down to the 111Mhz.

But yea nice stuff guys this prog is growing on me more and more.. its jsut a pitty Google dont suport New Zealand mapswith there GEOdata... that would be cool.. i jsut have two questions thos.

when is version 0.5 comming and what new features might we see in this? and

anyone know how to make a usb psp-290 extention cable? please give me a better referance than that other guide floatnig around here :P

ok - I am not part of the crew..
but look at things this way:
#1 this is a free product
#2 Deniska may not be a billionaire and only works on this project
#3 despite how cool this is - you need to wait..are you asking Bill Gates for Windows 3000?
#4 if you crave something in this that you truly cant wait for...why not try and add it yourself?
- I had a blast and realized I was throwing random code (with a cool guess I will add) to a complex project. It did things I wan ted...and made me aware of more things
(MIB.42 -more of a delay before calling read//write routines with a cachedelayinvaliddateall) appears to stablize a lot (not all) io access...I know you are looking at mp3 player capabilities)..this might help
*also compilling with -o1 vs -o2 based on a psp read of fread anomolies

#5 I found the right thing to do by removing my unofficial build ( see my gracefully finished episode) however those that like to look at and adjust can ALWAYS speek your mind in the code contribution section


okay- enough being the principal...


ok here is a thought...since the WIFI mechanism is in the code...how about:
#1 a personal server that can do google map downloader based on requests
(I am sure a simple username/password thing can be used) to find out where I am and where I need to go...use your own computer with a static ip address (ok not so simple -but brains are not on PSP)


#2 MIB.42 (clap when you see him) has got a hankering for an MP3 player - personally I'd like to see him lock onto video stuff (driving on the highway with nothing happening would be cool for a show)

#3 a request thread on there forums vs a wish list forum might be cool
If you ask for .5 now that makes .5.1 longer down the road



and as always...THANKS MIB.42/DENISKA/in7ane and friends - you folks rule~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cool, make the changes, mark them as we discussed and post your source for deniska to pick up...

video stuff? Can you elaborate?

[atari800]

Yeah - video - as in is it possible to play an MP4 from the ms0:/video or /MP_ROOT/100MNV01 or /MP_ROOT/101ANV01 directories?
I mean I could switch of Mapthis then watch a video - the start Mapthis back up. Just driving in a car sometimes takes quite awhile to lock - so keep mapthis running. Since no heavy math is being used for drawing - all we need is to just read the basics and do nothing. When done with the video - redraw the map

*I've been Googling for video PSP programming - but nothing yet.


Thanks for confirming the source code is the latest here - I'll start porting my changes once I compile and see what is already in place

Not sure what you mean...
Current code PSP code attempts to get maps from google w/o proxying it through any other server..

You can probably extend it by adding a request for directions too...(porting some of in7anes .Net code to C...
Proxying POI/directions inquiries through a web server may in theory lead to some legal problems with google/VE/etc... so unless you find a "brave" web master and reliable host this path is not worth proceeding..

Right. It is not an easy topic. Base ports of ffmpeg based players all failed to keep the framerates even at 333MHz. It is not a trivial task, as one MUST utilize the media processor in the PSP. For this task the amount of work is plain insane ( for a weekend coder like myself ), as it involves synchronizing between several processing units with plenty of assembly tuning...

*I've been Googling for video PSP programming - but nothing yet.

... for a good reason... There is a thread going on with some prop. format, keep searching...

Cheers,

NO video in mapthis !

Think about road security ! You have to keep your eyes onto the road, not onto a movie !

Why do you think the build in DVD players in BMW cars ONLY work if switched into Neutral gear ?

So give your dev time to something more map related.
