Help with Pikey

[random123]

I sort of have a similar problem that obicom has and I need a bit of help. I have a Targus PA870 wireless keyboard, and running 3.90 M33-3 with the original 1.5 kernel add-on. I have aldo got the IRDA patcher as well. Pikey 0.4 does not work but with pikey 0.3, I can control xmb, web browser but not games. So i was wondering, how can i play games with the keyboard using pikey 0.3. I can't seem to get pikey 0.4 working. Any help would be appreciated.

Could somebody send me a ready-made 0.4 pikey SEplugins folder so all I have 2 do is just delete mine and replace it. Thanks a lot.

I know how to fix the issue!

There was an piKeyIR.PRX issue, so I fixed it and now it should work with all PSP regions.

Download this:

http://pikey.kloplop321.com/Release/piKeyIR.prx

Replace it with the one that's already on your PSP. It should be in:

ms0:\SEPlugins\piKey\InputDrivers\

Hope that helps!

Still cannot get pikey 0.4 working at all in game or ×mb even with the changed plugin. I have been resorted to using pikey o.3 as it works in ×mb and internet/ browser but not in a game. All i wsnt is for pikey to work in PSPWrite,×mb,imternet browser and game and at the moment this is seeming impossible

Grr...

Our initial Unofficial 0.4 release appeared to be more buggy than 0.3 despite it's improvements!

I'll send you my version of the PRX's via MSN.

Sorry Akash.

With the pikey you sent me and replaced files, i cannot do anything, no xmb, or pspwrite even with IRDA patcher. The only pikey that works fully with me is 0.3 but only in xmb and web browser, 0.4 works just in pspwrite and 0.4(5) nothing at all. Anyone got any ideas? I just reflashed my psp but still no difference. No other plugins running either.
Posted on: June 09, 2008, 07:17:55 PMAny chance that somebody on 3.90 M33-3, with the normal 1.5 kernel add-on can send me their already working SEplugins folder so I can just delete mine and replace it and see if it works. I think is my last shot.

[Angelo]

Damn! So much for a perfect release!

Hmmm... I suggest you do this:

Have installed:

3.90 M33 - 3 + 1.50 addon kernel

-  Install piKey 0.3.
-  Install the IRDA Patcher

Test it with everything.

-  Change each PRX one by one and see what PRX is the fault.

Names of some PRX's that may be causing you troubles:

piKey.PRX
piKeyIR.PRX
piKeyCTRLOut.PRX

I hope that helps.

Any chance of getting a ready set up seplugins folder?
And do you mean change each plugin from 0.3 - 0.4?

[Angelo]

Yes... install 0.3 and copy a 0.4 plugin one at a time and test.

So do this:

-  Install 0.3
-  Copy piKey.PRX (0.4 version)
-  Test

If fails, tell me. If works:

-  Copy piKeyIR.PRX (0.4 version)
-  Test

If fails, tell me. If works:

-  Copy piKeyCTRL_Out.PRX (0.4 version)
-  Test

You get the picture. The point of this is to try and find the PRX file that isn't working correctly.

It's the only way to fix the issue!

This problem isn't uncommon. Let's just hope you're the last person to suffer from it!  

Have a good evening!

I managed to find a short term solution that might benefit some people. Running 3.90 M33-3, and the 1.5 kernel add-on, I have managed to get pikey 0.3 working in both PSPwrite and xmb. I did this by using IRDA patcher, but do not enable the plugin, just enable pikey in "vsh" and "game" and it should work in PSPwrite and xmb, now I am going to go step by step to see whats wrong with 0.4. Hope this helps a few people
Posted on: June 10, 2008, 07:00:20 PMAfter starting to replace the files and testing them in GAME,XMB and PSPwrite my first error when I replaced the ctrlmap.txt and I could not do anything, i then replaced the files back to normal and replaced the pikeyconfig.txt and I still couldn't do anything either. I am still testing every other file so I will get back to you.

[Angelo]

The .txt and .ini files will not be the problem.

Install 0.3 and copy over, one by one the PRX's.

[random123]

Fully got pikey 0.3 working in game,xmb, and other applications, make sure you have installed 1.5 kernel add-on V2
NOT VERSION 1, yes, it does make a difference

[Angelo]

Let's fix the 0.4 issue now.

[random123]

Anyone got any ideas how I could try get it working?

[Angelo]

Well I'm busy these last two weeks with exams and musical grades, no I'll be out of action for a while.

To be honnest there is no differance between the piKey 0.3 version of piKeyIR.PRX and the the Unofficial piKey 0.4 version of piKeyIR.PRX

The ONLY differance you'll find is that you'll have no key repeats.

All I can say is that you'll have a working version of piKeyIR.PRX as soon as possible. It's my no. 1 priority with piKey.

Sorry Akash!  

Have a good week!

Ok, thanks for all your help. Is it possible for you to add the line of code to the pikeyIR.prx in 0.3 so instead when you press "x" it inserts the letter, not the maths sign?
