Sony PlayStation Portable homebrew developer zx-81 just released another update to one of his many PSP homebrew applications, this time giving love to PSPIRC. After the flurry of new features last update, PSPIRC version 1.0.7 addresses a handful of bugs that surfaced.

As some already know, zx-81 picked up the IRC engine originally made by Denzen then added IR keyboard support based on Harald Fielker's work. Now, the PSP homebrew developer constantly updates PSPIRC for the best chat experience on the Sony handheld. This version eliminates a couple of bugs users encountered, and added a line edit mode. Here are the changes:

• Bug fix in Danzef keyboard (characters ? and # weren't mapped properly)
• Bug fix on fw-3x, the PSP freeze when more than 7 tabs were opened simultaneously
• New line edit mode in IRC console

Two versions, one for firmware 1.5 and another for 3.xx OE CFW, are available. For those who haven't tried the app before, there are helpful Readme files in both downloads with enough instructions that should help you get started. If there are any bugs, or if you want to send your suggestions, just visit zx-81's release thread at the QJ.NET forums.
