[Angelo]

Hello everybody! It's been a while since you guys have received any piKey news! Now that it is Christmas, it's about time we made another release.

This is the full release for Unofficial piKey 0.5. It contains, the documents, source code and the application itself!

Here's the changelog

Unofficial piKey 0.5 is a release by the Unofficial piKey Team. (Unofficial.piKey.Team@Hotmail.co.uk)

Any part of this software may be used by anybody for experiemental and educational purposes. Parts
of the piKey code may be copy and pasted into other projects, however please state so in the release
notes. piKey is a usefull piece of software that uses a lot of the PSPSDK and is a shame if not used to its
full potential.

Unofficial piKey 0.5 Change log. (Quick notes)

##########################################

-  Doesn't require "flash0:/kd/IRDA.PRX" in "ms0:/SEPlugins/Game.txt" for piKey to work
   with IRDA. (Which means the IRDA patcher isn't needed)
-  Works with the latest custom firmware.
-  Built with the latest PSPIRKeyB Lib. (Includes the new drivers.)
-  Key repeats have now improved. They are now not too sensitive.
-  Now piKey allows the PSP to enter sleep and power saver mode.
-  PSP wakes from power save mode if a key is pressed.
-  Removed SIO. This is now taken over by another project.
-  Improved Danzeff plugin. Now supports two maps for certain homebrew applications.

   symbol and Pound symbol.

-  Application Loaders have been added:

   -  CTRL + ALT + D = Launch UMD disk. (If exists)
   -  CTRL + ALT + 1 = Launch "ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/Applications/App_1/EBOOT.PBP". (If exists)**

   -  CTRL + ALT + 4 = Launch "ms0:/SEPlugins/piKey/Applications/App_4/EBOOT.PBP". (If exists)**
   
   **Will only load official and homebrew EBOOT applications and games, not PSX games.

-  Hotkeys have been added:

   General: (Work anywhere and assigned by keymap)

   -  F1 = Quit Game.
   -  F2 = Power Off.

##########################################

Bugs to fix:

-  None so far.

##########################################

Things to maybe add in next version:

-  CTRLMap.txt switcher
-  Perfect the OSK including more language support. (Focus on EU languages + new OSK
   layout maybe differant OSK.PRX)
-  Homebrew launcher with config file:
   -  Homebrew and official EBOOT loader with 10 slots.
   -  PSX EBOOT loader with 10 slots.
   -  ISO/CSO loader with 10 slots. It loads the UMD driver from the
      CFW configuration. (If Fanjita agrees)

##########################################

Things to do:

-  Add the 2 missing cases in OSK. (Lines 620 - 646 oskout.c)

##########################################

Just a few extra notes incase you guys were wondering:

Keymap:

I've set the keymaps to this so you guys get some hotkeys. They can be adjusted if you want via the keymap:

   -  F1 = Quit Game.
      (Default = CTRL + Q)
   -  F2 = Power Off.
      (Default = CTRL + P)
   -  F3 = Standby.
      (Default = CTRL + S)
   -  F4 = Restart.
      (Default = CTRL + R)
   -  F5 = Screen backlight toggle. (Backlight mode 0 -4)
      (Default = ALT + S)
   -  F6 = CPU speed toggle. (133Mhz, 222Mhz, 266Mhz, 300Mhz, 333Mhz.)
      (Default = CTRL + C)

Expansion Pack:

   -  I've added a Targus and Hama expansion pack to get the most out of your IR
      keyboard. Both have docs and dead easy to install.

PSPWrite:

   -  I've compiled a version of ZX-81's PSPWrite 1.2.0 in the package. This has been
      compiled with the latest drivers and with key repeats. The driver you may have to
      set up but the key repeats are near perfect. It ios just a proof of concept showing
      that it can be added to any IR application.

      NOTE: The piKey key repeat parameters will vary to the ZX-81 parameters.[/b]

Devpack:

   -  I've added devpack to this version to piKey to help people get straight into developing.
      it has all the latest files and is dead easy to install. It also includes the latest PSPIRKeyB lib.

I just want to thank everybody that has been part of this project. It's been very fun and educational. Thank you again Fanjita for the opportunity, WaKaRu and Loonix for moderating this glorious forums and I wish everybody a very Merry Christmas.

Enjoy

Doesn't work for me I'm afraid. Phat psp1000, 3.90 M33 firmware. Installed pikey 0.5, copied over supplied version of PSPWrite. Went into recovery mode and enabled pikey plugins. when I leave recovery the "pikey installed" message doesn't flash up and IR keyboard doesn't work ;(

[Angelo]

I've seen that before, I think it's a memory stick problem. Here's how to fix it:

1.  Download and unzip piKey 0.3
2.  Find piKeyIR.PRX in the package.
3.  Replace the (0.5) piKeyIR.PRX with the (0.3) piKeyIR.PRX
4.  Test piKey. It should now work.
5.  Try PSPWrite again.
6.  Try replacing the (0.3) piKeyIR.PRX with the (0.5) piKeyIR.PRX and it may work again.

The 0.5 version of piKeyIR.PRX has key repeats and the latest drivers.

The piKeyIR.PRX is quite odd and has been causing problems for some users. I need to speak to Fanjita to see if he knows anything that I can do to fix this. The code is identicle!

Angelo

[EasyLay]

followed your steps but still not working ;(

some other info: formatted my mem stick and upgraded to 3.90 M33 before I tried pikey and also installed firmware 1.5, so it was a fairly clean install. no other plugins installed. pikey0.3 still works fine (could never get pikey0.4 to work)

I have a fake memory stick, but even after reformatting with FakeCard v1.5 Pikey still doesn't work.

[Angelo]

Copy over the 0.3 modules and one by one replace them with 0.5 modules.

The important 0.5 modules are OSK, CTRLOut and piKey.

Hello forums!
After having exactly the same problem with 0.5 that obicom and others had with 0.4, I'm finally running "piKey 0.5" on 5.00 M33-4 cfw with 1.5 kernel addon. Why's this in speech marks ?
Because I had to change the infamous piKeyIR.prx to the 0.3 version !!!  
You see, I would be even more delighted having key repeat, mainly for gaming interests. Would you mind taking another look on the 0.5 piKeyIR.prx
to find out what's causing the trouble?  
thx in advance

ps: I would find it totally AWESOME to have multilingual layout support someday, for I'm from Germany.
But you already do so much! How can you handle school, developing AND watching over the forums? I don't quite get it  

[kebramar]

I was thinking about that too, the multilingual layout support, but about other homebrews, that I'm having that prob. I never noticed that w/ pikey, because I'm always typing in english, despite being Portuguese.

[Angelo]

Yes, having piKey with multi language support os one of my main things I want to do. More over it's easy to code.

Instead of putting all languages in one piKeyOSKOut.PRX, I'll make differant PRX's for differant languages.

piKeyOSKOut_English.PRX
piKeyOSKOut_Deutsch.PRX
piKeyOSKOut_Francais.PRX

Then you can choose which one you want to install in the installer.

As for piKeyIR.PRX, I have no idea why that isn't working. It works fine on my PSP and fine on other's too. O_o

I haven't even edited any of the code in it! I'm still waiting on Fanjita's replay from my email.

I heard that if you install the piKey 0.3 piKeyIR.PRX over and it works, you can then just copy the piKey 0.5 piKeyIR.PRX over again and that should (apparently) work again.

Try it out... it's a bug I wish to work on.

[kebramar]

Angelo, instead of naming it "Frencais", you could name it as "Latin" (several languages use the same letters/symbols (ie. the "~" and "ç" are very used in portuguese). I dunno where u from, but if u need help doing it, tell me (u m8 not need it, I know ).

[Angelo]

I can't because the French keymap is differant from the Spannish which is differance to the Portugese...

I need to make an OSK plugin for each language.

It's really easy, but just finding TIME!

I handed in a 40 page essay on the electrolysis of copper in copper sulphate and how it's affect by voltage!

I can't wait to go to college so I can do DECENT science topics!  

Angelo

[EasyLay]

For myself I'd say the key repeat is the most important feature. Weird that 0.5 works for some people but not others. I tried it with a legit magicgate memory stick (my 4GB stick is a fake) but it still didn't work ;( This is with 3.90 M33 on a US psp1000

Keep up the good work Angelo!

[Angelo]

Hmmm... try upgrading to the latest CFW. There's no reason why you shouldn't!

Angelo

[carbon14c]

Is it possible for someone to re-upload this package?

I just got my keyboard and i am dying to get it working!


I will make a mirror on my website, if only someone can hook me up..

[Loonix]

kloplop321's download still works mighty fine

[carbon14c]
