Hi all,

Here is a new release of AFKIM (Away From the Keyboard Instant Messenger), the instant messaging application for PSP written by Danzel !
(see http://localhost.geek.nz/)

This version fix graphical glitches under xfw 4.01-m33 on PSP SLIM
(If you have cfw < 4.01 or a PSP FAT, then no need to install this new version).

You can find it here : http://zx81.zx81.free.fr/

Enjoy,

Zx.

The fix does not work for me. It asks me to choose the connection, and after I do so the screen gets filled with messed-up letters.

Spoiler for Screenshot:

I replaced my old version, v3.3.3 with this one, could that be the reason? I didn't want to lose my accounts and settings. :/

**zx-81** · 07-01-2008, 05:46 AM

You just have to copy the bitlbee config file in the new folder (do a backup of the afkim folder before

).

btw this fix works for me, but it seems that one still encountered graphical glitches with this version ... It's a bug that appears in the SDL library with alpha blending stuff ... work still remain to fix it definitively,

**JaX3RiR** · 07-01-2008, 06:16 AM

I re-downloaded the files, unzipped the AFKIM folder at my desktop, copied my bitlbee.cfg inside it and put it on my PSP. I still get messed up letters

I'm using a PSP Slim 4.01 M33-2 without any custom themes etc.

Anyway, I'll still be able to use AFKIM with Time Machine and 3.60 M33, but of course it is more hassle to launch it.

**zx-81** · 07-01-2008, 06:33 AM

i've tried it using my psp slim FW 4.01-2 m33 and everything was going fine ... i will try to fix this issue asap. but i don't understand why it works with all cfw but not this one ...

**maxexcloo** · 07-01-2008, 10:42 PM

Thanks for the update!

I really love this application

EDIT: I have the text drawing error as well

help pls ... i installed it but when i select the wifi connection it says connection failed... but when i use an older version of afkim , namely afkim-v3.2.1 it connects to the wifi network but gets stuck at the Identifying part

what to do ?

Camshaft · 07-17-2008, 10:48 PM

I keep getting the "timeout while resolving" problem.

I am using a psp slim running 4.01 M33-2.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem because I would really like to use the program.

Thanks

**Sullivan** · 07-17-2008, 10:56 PM

Goto the XMB, and try loading google. If it loads then there is a problem loading the homebrew most likely due to a wpa encrypted wifi router.

iddark · 07-18-2008, 03:28 AM

tried a bunch of other afkim versions but still the only one that get`s me past the connecting to wifi part is v3.2.1 ... but it still remains blocked at the identifying part ... i tried them all using the 1.5 kernel and the 4.xx kernel ... i have 4.01 m33-2

Was it working with 3.90-m33 ? many of you encountered name resolution issue, and i can't fix it because i just can't reproduce that bug with my router ...

Only version 3.3.4 and earlier will work with the new bitlbee server (that might explain your "identifying" connection issue).

Can you try this new version i've bundled for you :
http://zx81.zx81.free.fr/public/psp/...3.5-3-fw4x.zip

In the afkim.cfg file you can specify a timeout value that would be used in several part of the afkim code (mainly in polling loop). The default value is 1000, but you can try several values between 100 and 10000 and see what is the one that work for you.

Please report me if it works or not, and with which timeout value, i will then package a new official version and explain how to proceed etc ... Thanks.

Camshaft · 07-18-2008, 12:45 PM

Still Getting the
Resolving
Timeout while resolving ( 10 times)
Failed to resolve

I tried getting the latest program you just posted above (no luck)
I tried to shut off my wep encription (no luck)
I tried adjusting the value in my afkim.cfg file (no luck)

I am at a loss

Any ideas?

In latest program above you have to try several different values for the timeout parameter (you have to edit the file afkim.cfg using wordpad or any other ascii text editor). Try with several values such as 1500, 2000, 3000 ...

iddark · 07-18-2008, 06:33 PM

dang it still doesen`t work ... connection state 2 of 4 ... connecting to wifi failed

tried several timeout values from 100 to 500 to 5000 and 10000 but still same problem

LE: Finally got it working.I downloaded the 3.3.3 release and installed the fw1.5 version running on 4.xx kernel and it works like a charm

tks a bunch

Camshaft · 07-18-2008, 07:30 PM

I tried using several different values in the afkim.cfg file and here's what I got:

100 timeout
200 timeout
400 timeout
800 timeout
1000 timeout
1500 timeout
2000 stuck on identifying
2500 timeout
3000 stuck on identifying
3500 stuck on identifying
4000 timeout
4500 stuck on identifying
5000 stuck on identifying
5500 stuck on identifying
6000 stuck on identifying
6500 stuck on identifying
7000 stuck on identifying
7500 timeout
8000 timeout
9000 timeout
10000 timeout

Still no luck.

Any ideas?

Ok so let's keep 2000 in the afkim.cfg since it works for the name resolution. About the identifying that failed, it is as if your router prevent output connection to bitlbee server ?

nickdudego3 · 08-30-2008, 11:17 AM

i cant delete accounts and it's getting annoying having 50 of the same name
-=Double Post Merge =-
it says invalid account then disappears but it comes back 2 minutes later

**zx-81** · 08-30-2008, 01:17 PM

you can connect to bitlbee using any irc software and then delete your account manually ...

Nil3E · 08-31-2008, 12:16 AM

Ohh,this homebrew is awesome!! But i have "Failed while resolving" error message

I try it on various firmwares but same error messages..

**zx-81** · 08-31-2008, 03:03 AM

And if you try with this version :
http://zx81.zx81.free.fr/public/psp/...3.3.6-fw4x.zip

If you still have any name resolution error, you can modify the afkim.cfg file and modify the timeout_dns parameter. If it works for you, can you please give me your feedback ? I plan to release this version soon to fix name resolution issue ...
