PspIrda 0.0.2 Beta 3 changelog

Mat17 sure is one determined developer. If you'll remember, he's that guy who did the PspIrda 0.0.1. Well, he's back and working on new versions of his homebrew app, still determined as ever. Apparently, he got a good share of feedbacks from his first version.

Thanks to your participation, the compatibility tests based on your feedback from v0.0.1 revealed the conclusion that the app's compatibility with Nokia and Siemens mobiles are a-ok. But when it comes to Sony Ericsson phones, well, let's just say it ain't as smooth as with the other brands.

So, this is where he'll be focusing on before he finally releases v0.0.2. And in order to do that, he's again asking for your help by checking out his application and sharing your critiques or whatnot regarding it. He's sent a couple of beta versions (in debug version only) over at our forums, namely PspIrda 0.0.2 Beta 3 and Beta 4. Where's beta 2? He already released them to beta testers.

Anyhow, a litle explanation is required as to Beta 4. According to him, this is also a debug version, only, a more verbose one. This will produce two files, namely: dump.log and debug.log in the '/PSP/GAME/pspirda' directory.

The instructions for it are as follows:

• start the homebrew
• align the devices before starting the exchange
• do only one transfer (send for example)
• exit the program
• send me dump.log, debug.log at [email protected]
• repeat the operations for the inverse transfer (receive for example)

So there. The guy's pretty persistent on hearing from you guys, whether it's good feedback or not.

Mat17 stopped by our forums recently and shared to us his homebrew application, PspIrda 0.0.1. From the name of the app itself, you may have already have an idea as to what this is for. Basically, PspIrda is a file transfer program which will let you transfer files between your PSP, cell phone, Palm, PC and other compatible devices. This looks like a first release, so play nice you guys.

According to him, the Irda stack used in this program isn't from him, but from an anonymous author who wishes not to promote his work. But still, Mat17 extends his thanks to him.

Anyhow, the app has its share of shortcomings. For now, the only working configurations are file transfers between the PSP and a Nokia 6131. The other configurations (PSP-PSP, PSP-PC, PSP-cell phones, Palm-PSP, etc) are yet to be tested, so you're feedback would help a lot. The dev also divulged that the main problem with this release is the transfer speed. According to him, "It's slow, really slow; the speed is 9600pbs."

Also, the GUI isn't exactly to die for, but he said that his objective in creating this app was to release something functional to test it with other devices. With that, the download link is right down there. Mat17 included a debug version which has a debug.log that will contain the data exchanged between the two devices. View this release as a diamond in the rough and hopefully, it wouldn't take so long for this app to be one sparkling bling.
