problems with pikey on CFW 3.90M33-3

[H(a)iFlo]

Hello obicom,

if you use german as your favourite language at the XMB, it will break. pikey 0.4 doesn't support the german language.
I hope Angelo and co. will add some languages to pikey with the following versions.


Auf Deutsch:

Leider wird bis dato die deutsche Sprache von pikes 0.4 nicht unterstützt. Angelo und co. werden hoffentlich mit pikey 0.5 das beheben. Bis dahin entweder auf Englisch umstellen oder nix tun.

Gruß Florian

Hi ...

yes I'm the same obicom ... from pspsource ... nice to meet you here ;-)
I ask the same in your thread on psps ... have a look there .. (http://www.pspphoenix.de/...viewtopic.php?189864.last)
Ok ... thanks a lot for the advice .. yes my psp work with German language ...
after work I will check it ASAP ... and will change to English language.
I was confused that on different Keys are the German special characters like "ä, ö, ü ..." comes ...
but now I understood .... is there no work around for it?
German language in XMB (on PSP) and a special keymap for the keyboard layout?
I thinks thats only a adapting for ASCII Codes, isn't it?
My idea is, chnage the keymap handling from clear characters to ASCII Code ...
but this is a 'homework' for the developers.

1. Sample does now work... but that's for another release.

2. We'll fix the keymap issue trough email!

Thanks!

I changed my PSP language to english ... and now the OSK works fine.
For the moment it is fantastic but is there a a possibility to work in german language, too?
Do you planning a multi-language version for the future?
I can't understand why it is possible PSPwrite, but not with pikey in XMB.

Ah! Yes I forgot to mention. Your PSP must be in English!

Goodness! You probably know as much about piKey as I do!

We DO have plans for a multilanguage release, but we plan on getting piKey perfect first.

There are still a few bugs.

To answer your question as to why it works fine in PSPWrite has to do on how piKey runs.

When the "SHIFT" + "a" key is pressed on the keyboard, it doesn't tell the PSP, "Press the 'A' key!".

No.

Instead it's tells the PSP to:

-  Press DOWN x3
-  Press LEFT x3

(Now we are at the far bottom left of the OSK)

-  Press UP x3
-  Press RIGHT x1
-  Press CROSS x4
-  Press R-Trigger x1

That's how piKey works in the OSK.

It's mapped for English characters, but not for other langauges.

Like I previously said... we want to get it perfect first!

Infact, I might write up a document on how piKey works and put it in the next release!

It'll satisfy inquisitive minds.  

You're a very cleaver person!

You should start programming!

Have a good day!

Thanks!

Angelo

Awesome work !

I just installed the IR enabler, and then used the pikey 0.4 installer, and works perfectly, I will start my first homebrew code as soon as i get my processor (I have a low end computer right now). I wish to give the scene a contribution. I plan to connect the phat to the TV.

For the compatibility record:

I have 3.90 M33-2, 1.5 kernel V2 and phat psp

If you need help on how to get started, let me know!

Don't try and install CYGWIN and all that rubbish!

To install a full dev environment using CYGWIN will be over 1GB.

I can get you an environment with everything included all under 150MB.

Tell me when you wonna get started.  

Oh! You may also wonna try a new OS instead of Windows. You can completely format your C:\ drive and install an Unix based OS. Examples are:

Linux
Ubuntu
Xbuntu

Give me a shout if you need a hand!
