Sony PlayStation Portable homebrew developer zx-81 just released another update to one of his many PSP homebrew applications, this time giving love to PSPIRC. After the flurry of new features last update, PSPIRC version 1.0.7 addresses a handful of bugs that surfaced.

As some already know, Zx-81 picked up the IRC engine originally made by Danzef then added IR keyboard support based on Harald Fielker's work. Now, the PSP homebrew developer constantly updates PSPIRC for the best chat experience on the Sony handheld. This version eliminates a couple of bugs users encountered, and added a line edit mode. Here are the changes:

• Bug fix in Danzef keyboard (characters ? and # weren't mapped properly)
• Bug fix on fw-3x, the PSP freeze when more than 7 tabs were opened simultaneously
• New line edit mode in IRC console

Two versions, one for firmware 1.5 and another for 3.xx OE CFW, are available. For those who haven't tried the app before, there are helpful Readme files in both downloads with enough instructions that should help you to get started. If there are any bugs, or if you want to send your suggestions, just visit zx-81's release thread at the QJ.NET forums.

PSP homebrew developer zx-81 dropped by the QJ.Net Forums to tell us all about his latest update for PSPoste, an email client originally made by David Cummings, Ben Biron, and Sajeeth Cherian. PSPoste: Email Client for PSP Beta 6.2 has added keyboard support for a more convenient PSP email experience.

Like the last update, zx-81 made both FW 1.50 and FW 3.xx versions available. In this release, PSPoste has been linked with the latest IR keyboard library that PSPIRC also uses. More IR keyboards, which the developer previously credited to Harald Fielker, are now supported.

If you've been itching to use your Palm IR keyboard, and is not running on CFW 3.71-2 which has been reported to be incompatible with PSPoste, then grab the version that suits you from the links below. The homebrew dev has also made the source code available below for those interested.

Thanks to numerous contributions from other PSP homebrew developers, dev Zx-81 has stepped out with PSPIRC version 1.0.6, an update to PSPIRC v1.0.5. This program will let you connect to Internet Relay Chat servers and chat while on your PlayStation Portable. It's got support for the Sprint PCS IR keyboard, and if you don't have one, it'll let you settle for the old-fashioned on-screen keyboard input.

The homebrew application, coded with Danzel's IRC engine, was combined with Zx-81's UI for PSPSSH. IR keyboard support was added after referencing Harald Fielker's PSP IR Keyboard Library, and tested with a Targus Universal IR Wireless keyboard. So far only two versions are out: one for firmware 1.50 and another for 3.40 OE CFWs. Additions to version 1.0.6 include:

• Add all iso8859-1 characters in danzeff virtual keyboard
• All text fonts are now compatible with iso8859-1 characters
• Bug fix in IR keyboard .ini files with UTF8 specification
• (for example mapping string such as "u+c3a0" didn't work properly)
• New Targus [keyboard] mapping with French characters mapped from ALT 1 up to ALT -

We've provided both versions below, as presented in the homebrew author's blog. With it comes an archive which holds PSPIRC's source code. In order to install either version of the application, you will have to refer to the included readme texts for instructions.

PSP homebrew developer zx-81 has just released a new version of PSPIRC. This spanking new version, 1.0.5, is bringing a couple of changes to the said application, both for support and aesthetics.

• Support iso-8859-1 characters in IRC console for West European languages (characters such as à, é, è ... are now printed properly instead of a white space)
