DTMF Dial changelog

We're letting you guys know that developer Art has updated the DTMF Dial homebrew for the PSP to version 3. This application, in case you're asking, is a auto touch tone dialing phone book that allows you to make calls and navigate touch tone-based menus with pre-programmed DTMF sequences.

One of the biggest changes to this new build is a feature that will allow users to swap skins. As for the rest of the changelog:

• Added support for an external skin file so the end user can provide their own main program graphic.
• Changed default skin to that provided by Jomann of QJ net forums.
• Various small fixes, including better text formatting in the editor window.

Full details on using this application are available in the file bundle's readme. We've also posted DTMF Dial v3's source codes here in case you're interested in compiling your own version of the app. Be sure to visit Art's release thread at the QJ.NET PSP Development Forums to provide your feedback.
