Does anybody remember PspIrDA? For the guys who don't, the homebrew application allowed you to transfer files between your PSP and your cell phone, PDA, PC, and pretty much any device compatible with the application's protocol (nope - no DS here). With that said, author Mat17 has just released version 0.0.2.

Major changes include improved device compatibility and transfer speed, although the application's GUI has been kept sparse. Mat notes that version 0.0.3 will carry improved transfer speed, and (it is hoped) an improved GUI.

Included in the bundle is a debug version of the app, along with this note from the author:

I've included in the archive a debug version which outputs a debug.log and dump.log files in the pspirda directory. So if this release does not work for you, try a transfer (send or receive) with this debug version and send me the corresponding debug.log and dump.log.

As always, we recommend a thorough viewing of the app's README, along with a trip to the release thread for any further details. We thank Mat17 for the effort, and hope you guys enjoy trying this application out.

Mat17 sure is one determined developer. If you'll remember, he's that guy who did the PspIrda 0.0.1. Well, he's back and working on new versions of his homebrew app, still determined as ever. Apparently, he got a good share of feedbacks from his first version.

Thanks to your participation, the compatibility tests based on your feedback from v0.0.1 revealed the conclusion that the app's compatibility with Nokia and Siemens mobiles are a-ok. But when it comes to Sony Ericsson phones, well, let's just say it ain't as smooth as with the other brands.

So, this is where he'll be focusing on before he finally releases v0.0.2. And in order to do that, he's again asking for your help by checking out his application and sharing your critiques or whatnot regarding it. He's sent a couple of beta versions (in debug version only) over at our forums, namely PspIrda 0.0.2 Beta 3 and Beta 4. Where's beta 2? He already released them to beta testers.

Anyhow, a little explanation is required as to Beta 4. According to him, this is also a debug version, only, a more verbose one. This will produce two files, namely: dump.log and debug.log in the '/PSP/GAME/pspirda' directory.

The instructions for it are as follows:

•   start the homebrew
•   align the devices before starting the exchange
•   do only one transfer (send for example)
•   exit the program
•   send me dump.log, debug.log at mathieu17@gmail.com
•   repeat the operations for the inverse transfer (receive for example)

So there. The guy's pretty persistent on hearing from you guys, whether it's good feedback or not.
