The previous release of the homebrew application LuaPlayer HM for the PlayStation Portable had the dev asking for help from anyone who knew how to use adhoc. Another homebrew coder, PiCkDaT, offered a helping hand, and so LuaPlayer HM version 5 has now been released.

This version now has Adhoc function courtesy of PiCkDaT. Aside from this very promising development, homebrew developer Homemister has also added WiFi ability to the player. You can now select and add new wireless networks.

Wireless Functions

• Wlan.init() Enables the Wireless and lets you select the network
• Wlan.term() Disables the Wireless.
• Wlan.getIP() Gets IP address after wifi is initiated eg ipadress=Wlan.getIP()

Adhoc Functions

• Adhoc.init() Enables the Adhoc
• Adhoc.term() Terminates the Adhoc
• Adhoc.connect()
• Adhoc.send()
• Adhoc.recv()
• Adhoc.getState()

Socket Functions

• Socket.connect()
• Socket.createServerSocket()
• Socket.isConnected()
• Socket.accept()
• Socket.send()
• Socket.recv()
• socket.close()
• Included test file

But if these new features still don't impress you, then maybe you'd want to wait for the next release of LuaPlayer HM. The homebrew dev is planning to include a built-in LuaPlayer Updater which will automatically check for and install new versions of the homebrew app. The next build will also have better Eboot support. Homemister also informs us that starting from this version, the dev will be working with PiCkDaT and they'll be releasing the homebrew app for the Sony PlayStation Portable as a team.
