Homebrew developer Cooleyes has come out with PMPlayer Advance (PPA) build 20071027 which cleans up the source code and adds video output for PSP Slim & Lites running Custom Firmware 3.71 M33.

If you've been using a previous version of PMPlayer Advance, you will probably be happy to know that this application now has a new audio decoder which supports 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz and audio channel switching. Here are the rest of the patch notes courtesy of Google Translate:

• based on the PMP AVC MOD 102M improvement, some minor amendments to the original BUG
• PSP using built-in decoder engine, re-support PMP2 (XVID+MP3), but at this stage decoding efficiency is not high
• new audio decoder core, abandoned the PC Transplant from the ffmpeg library, and the application of the latest research by the PSP internal hardware decoding module
• support multicast function. set up in the corresponding window playback mode (single individual player, group multicast, all)
• support around channel switching function
• can set as low as 66 mHz frequency operation (and in the use of nethost, usbhost time, the proposed use of 133 mHz Operation)
• supports 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sampling rate for audio
• support AAC audio interface
• support standby, in the main interface can be manually standby, if more than five minutes without operator will also automatically enter standby;
• when players do not support standby, please do not try to, it may lead to erroneous or even crashed
• fw3xx version of the idle (or even when the player interface standby)

Considering that the instructions on the official site are in Chinese, first-time users might want to do a little research before using the application. To help you on your way, here are the instructions for using the PSP-200X Video Output:

• Connect video output cable to PSP.
• Video-out settings in XMB are ignored, run PPA from XMB.
• In PPA, press [SQUARE] for settings menu.
• Change Aspect Ratio to match your TV (16:9/4:3).
• Change video mode to match your cable/TV (Whatever your cable/TV supports). (Composite/Component. -Int./Component -Prog.)
• Play video after screen is re-directed.

We got word from QJ.NET reader Yufina that homebrew developer cooleyes just rolled out an update for the PlayStation Portable application PMPlayer AdVanCe (PPA) bringing it to build 20071002. Unlike the previous versions, this update is rather short and focuses on a bug found in the earlier release.

For the unitiated, PPA is a program that plays PMP files with AAC support. It also sports other nifty features like standby, TrueType fonts, and skins including ones for English users. You can access the latter by changing the current parameter for the skin from "default" to "normal-en" in the CONFIG.XML file.

Take note that this update only affects the build for firmwares 3.xx. What happened was the bug causing 48k broadcast delay has been detected and corrected. Other than that, PMPlayer AdVanCe build 20071002 is essentially the same as the previous release. The download package below contains both the full version and the Eboot update kits.

The latest update to cooleyes' (or cooleyes_lf) homebrew application, PPA (more officially known as PMPlayer AdVanCe), is build 200070930 (20070916 for 1.50 and lower). It sports compatibility with any 3.xx firmware including 3.71 M33 custom firmware. This fact has been confirmed by tipster Yufina, who also gave us word on the application's availability.

PPA is as English-friendly as the previous build, but it doesn't come with instructions to translate all the text into English (see images above). You could try changing the current parameter for the skin from "default" to "normal-en" in the CONFIG.XML file to get the results we've happened upon. It worked for us, and it might for you, too.

Now the changelog is as lengthy as the previous build, and unfortunately it's just as cryptic. We've "babelized" the list to little avail, though many of those familiar with the application might pick up an idea or two in the jumbled context.

Installation would be easy, as cooleyes puts it. The developer hasn't included documentation, but the changelist has a cryptic version. Take care to follow it, lest you wish to cause harm to your PSP. The program does come in EBOOT format, however, simplifying execution by several folds.

Once again, thanks to Yufina for the tip! The changelog appears at the full article.
