I have a question for all the modders out there
The problem with all the mods that seem to be going on on this board are the switches to make them work. If you do more than one mod we all seem to have a problem on what functions to delete or what goofy keystrokes to create.
I want to add functions to my PSP not eliminate some.
I have been working on the multi - memory stick mod. The problem is you have to tell the controller chip how big each memory stick is so that the controller knows when to switch to the next chip.
To be able to use 1,2,4,8,16 gig sticks each memory slot will require three dip switches for a total of 12 switches. If I could add to the m33 control menu so that I can select them on the screen I eliminate all of the switches. My mod will allow up to 64 gig of storage space inside the PSP.
Now if I put in an amp for louder sound,
The 4 memory sticks
LED pulse mod controller
LCD back panel display
I will need to add 16 switches and two adjustment trimmers that will take more space than the mods and what will I give up to get them..
Not a good solution.
I have figured out a way for the mods to talk to the CFW AND the interface screen you could program in an xml text file so you can just select your mods on the screen of the PSP.
No one does that yet that I know of.
No programming required you create an XML template and that determins the background, The graphics, the color, and the options on your screen.
We should get together and create a standard that everyone can use there could be 65,536 different mods and if you create a mod that uses the interface you would be assigned a mod number.
The interface is so simple people have overlooked it.
A pic can talk to and get data from the irda interface and the custom firmware already supports the built in irda interface !
We can not only send data to the PSP firmware we can receive data from the firmware.
Instead of pressing the single button twelve times to select the type of led blink option you want you could just have the modes on the screen and select the one you want. NO EXTRA SWITCH MODS ANYMORE !
So if a person wants to use the idea for interface to their mods they will just request a number and no one else would use that number but them. That way no two mods would interfere with each other.
The setup interface for their mod would just be a template, you would not have to reprogram the CFW. When you upgrade the CFW your interface to your hardware mod still works.
The outside of your PSP would look stock. No funky switches
I looking for input from other people on creating this standard
