History:
A few weeks ago there was a guy who requested a alarm clock (yes, I know, it was a request...). Althrou it was a request I said that I would give it ago. But I never even started working on it, instead I made PSPAHI. But yesterday I decided to pic up the project again and it turned out that it was even easier to make one than I expected. It took me about an hour to finsish the program from scratch...

Info (from the readme):

Code:

PSPAlarm v0.1
by SodR

Plattform: PSP
Coded in: C
Version: 0.1
Icon Graphics by Kos (Thanks!)


What is this?

This is just a simple tool called PSPAlarm that have the
same function as a regualar alarm clock. In other words; you
select what time it'll ring and it will. The alarm sound is
a ordinary .mp3 file so you can easily change it to your favorite
sound/song.

Functions:

- Gets the time from the xmb clock

- Refreshes the clock once a second

- The user can use his/her own .mp3 file as the alarm signal

ToDo:

Currently there is no GUI but I plan to implent that in the next version

Install:

Just install it like any other program on your psp.
Then copy the mp3 you want to use to the same directory as the eboot.
If you don't know how to do that I recomend you check out my other program
called PSPAHI 2.0. It's available at http:\\hem.bredband.net/kalsod.
It'll help you install homebrew to your psp.

Note: The mp3 you want to use must be named "wakeup.mp3"
(without the "") and placed in the same folder as the eboot.

Regards, SodR

Thanks goes to Kos who created the nice eboot images (the pics are only in the xmb, the acctuall program has no "real" GUI yet).

Pic:

Download it here!

EDIT: I forgot to tell you that this doesn't work with 12 hour time (it got to be 24 hour time). You can change this in the "Date and Time Settings" in the xmb.

EDIT2: It seems that a coulpe of you have problems using the app. So before you use this program for real make sure that you test it; set to ring in one minute and see if it does. If not, make sure that:

- You have named your mp3 to "wakeup.mp3" and nothing else (I don't even think "WAKEUP.mp3" works)

- You have properly installed the program and placed the wakeup.mp3 in the correct folder.

- Your mp3 have a bitrate of 128kbs or lower (yes, I have used libmad).

- That your clock in the xmb uses "24 hour time" and nothing else.

- If it still wont ring, try with another mp3 file.

Regards, SodR

Opps, I accidentally forgot to say that you have to name your alarm sound to "wakeup.mp3" (without the "") and place the mp3 in the same folder as the eboot. Sorry.

EDIT: Now it's fixed.

hehehe, I personally use "beautiful day" by U2. It gives me a good start in the morning.

**Ralan** · 05-24-2006, 05:11 PM

Finally i can wake up to a violent array of music

**Dan!** · 05-24-2006, 05:13 PM

does any1 have any good sounds like a normal alarm clock??? cuz i like that better?

**PSPHax0r9** · 05-24-2006, 05:14 PM

Wonderful! "Jukebox Hero" to wake me up in the morning!

Hmm.."Beautiful Day" is also a good option....

AND "Eye of the Tiger".....

You should think about adding support for a bunch of music files, and have a rndom one wake you up. Because, what also happens is that you get used to one thing waking you up in the morning and your body learns to sleep through it. Just a future progress idea...

Good job on this

**SodR** · 05-24-2006, 05:14 PM

Another thing I forgot to add into the readme (it isn't really important so I wont bother to update it) is that the app runs at 1MHz (makes the it drain less battery). But if your sleeping more then 5 hours+ then I recomend that your haveing the AC charger pluged in (at least my PSP didn't wake me up when I tested it...).

05-24-2006, 05:23 PM

Nice work with this!
It's neat, i'll use it if I buy a PSP screen.

**Dan!** · 05-24-2006, 05:24 PM

cant wait to try it tonight!!!!!!!!1

**FreePlay** · 05-24-2006, 05:25 PM

Nifty. Dunno if it's been done already. I'm grabbing it now

**DJShrimpy** · 05-24-2006, 05:31 PM

Here's the % EBOOT for 1.50 users.

EDIT: Why the hell can't I attach anything??? Oh well.

**Mr_Stanley_Dudek** · 05-25-2006, 02:05 AM

I recieve an error when the alarm is scheduled to go off:

Quote:

0 kb/s audio MPEG layer (unexpected layer value) stream at 0Hz

Any idea why I might be getting this?

CriX · 05-25-2006, 03:19 AM

Does this homebrew work on 2.xx PSP?

**Realn0whereman** · 05-25-2006, 03:57 AM

It's probably based on that you have a "bad" mp3 file. Try with another one.

It should. If not, please tell me and I'll see what I can do.

It will not work in sleepmode but you can however trun off the screen by holding the screen button (near the select button).

Sorrry that I forgot to tell you but you got to set "Time Format" under setting in the xmb to "24 hour clock" since the program doesn't work with "12 hour clock" (yet).

Hey could you send me the 1.5 eboot please!

**TeamOverload** · 05-25-2006, 04:36 AM

Just use PSPBrew or KXploit tool if he cant attach it. They are simple enough to use.

**SodR** · 05-25-2006, 04:42 AM

Gimme a sec and I'll upload a 1.5 version for you.

**Southparkmaniac** · 05-25-2006, 04:43 AM

Thankyou!

**SodR** · 05-25-2006, 04:44 AM

Done. See two posts above for the file.

I guess that means he is using libmad. Your MP3 cannot be above 128kbps.
Or, your MP3 was encoded wrong?

**PSPHax0r9** · 05-25-2006, 07:37 AM

Didn't work this morning. Probably because I ahve a 12 hour clock and the mp3 file is 320kbs.

**manaox2** · 05-25-2006, 09:41 AM

I don't know how much code there is put into this (if you use something like the pspsdk mp3 player code, it would likely be pretty small), but I want to see this as a PRX made for IRShell so that I can multitask on my psp while this is running. I'll ask Ahman if he wants to maybe make his own, but let me know what you think.

**XSonic** · 05-25-2006, 11:22 AM

Is there any way to change the icon and the background mneu when you hover over the icon?

**Siouxsie** · 05-25-2006, 11:28 AM

Nice idea. Me likes

**XSonic** · 05-25-2006, 11:29 AM

Can anyone answer my question?
