[RELEASE] PS-CoverFLow 3.0!!!!!

[animefreak345]

Its been awhile since my last release but its finally here.
it has a BIG change log of coarse. its becoming more like a shell with a nice media player now.

installation:

copy all contents of the .rar archive into the ms_root. the game has to be in ms0:/PSP/GAME or else it will not work properly.



IMPORTANT: you must have at least on image in ms0:/PICTURE/covers/ folder to run the coverflow or else it will not work.
and you must have your music under ms0:/MUSIC



!!!!!!!!!!!!TO GET COMPATIBLE ALBUM ART:!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you may get album art images from amazon.com and search for your album of the song of you want. then save the bigger image of it, which should 240x240 in size. NOT the small thumbnails.

or you MUST have .jpg or png images with the size 240x240 for it to look nice or else its all glitchy.


your album art MUST be the same name as your .mp3 file. (eg. test.jpg for your image if your song is test.mp3)

your welcome, and thank you. i hope you'll enjoy it.

just tried it out, i like it, just if you could make it so more albums are shown at a time, maybe custamizable?

[animefreak345]

i can make more show up. i actually thought about making it customizable before with the theme config maker thing but if i ever do that i'll do it in a much later release. im sorry.

[animefreak345]

there might be another release here soon with some bug fixes and minor changes. maybe tonight maybe in a couple of days. depends how minor the changes i want to be.

just copy the update.lua script that came with LuaPlayerHM7 and change the http address to your server and copy the updater.lua file from my server and use it to download your coverflow.

sweet! thank you very much for that.

[Mraellis]

Homemister is da bomb ;)

[Nielkie]

Beh. Bytecode. Gah.

[animefreak345]

Homemister is da bomb ;)

yeah he is.

[Nielkie]

yeah he is.

Not really.
This still uses a lot of code from sony_psp_player's Coverflow, so he really shouldn't have bytecoded it.

Also, this uses code from Yongobongo's id3lib, who isn't credited.

[animefreak345]

i was was almost 100% i wrote yongobongo. i remember crediting him before.
...checks first page.
nevermind, my bad. thank you for pointing that out.

EDIT: hes now added. i dont want to leave people out.

He didn't make this animefreak did...

I said homemister was good for the update script he was offering to animefreak.

[animefreak345]

i dunno what he was saying the not really to but i think he knows that im the maker of this. i dunno what he meant exactly now.

[Nielkie]

So how about releasing a non-bytecoded source?

[animefreak345]

i was advised by my friends to compile it, and i kinda trust them. thats why i did.

[tanman37]

love the app, my only problem is that the pictures won't go through sub-folders to play music, and it doesn't seem to want to play my higher quality music (320 kbps)

[animefreak345]

i can try to get subfolders compatible. not sure but its worth a shot.

and the music problem would be something with the luaplayer i would think. ask homemister about that. what does it do exactly?

[warninproject]

thanks to cool
i am using it since the first release.

[animefreak345]

your welcome, im glad to hear that you like it.

[tanman37]

[tanman37]
