Break out those USB/mini USB cables again. Raf has updated his portable audio streaming solution PSPRadio to 1.18.1365, only a week after having released the previous version. Here's the list of new features, new fixes, and fixes yet to come:

"All releases are for F/W 2+ with OE (tested on 3.03B); no more static/dynamic mumbo-jumbo. All releases are what was formerly known as dynamic; i.e. plugin based."

NEW FEATURES

• (raf) TextUI: After a configurable amount (default 10 seconds) during playback, the visualizer goes into fullscreen.
• (raf) Core: Use PSPRadio.cfg PLUGINS:VISUALIZER_FULLSCREEN_WAIT to set the wait before going into visualizer fullscreen mode. (Set to 0 to disable).
• (raf) Core: This fullscreen config wait parameter is now configurable from the PLUGINS Options menu.
• (raf) Core: Added kiss-fft routines, and now provide frequency data to visualizer plugins if requested.
• (raf) Plugins: Added a spectrum analyzer plugin (based on finespectrum.c for XMMS).
• (raf) Core: FFT and VIS_Spectrum use vfpu for some calculations, to get a speedup. (Thanks to MrMr[iCE] for his helpful vfpu library pspmath).
• (raf) Core: Removed VBLANK message across the core and sent to UI. UIs need to do it themselves.
• (raf) TextUI3d: Updated to use a renderthread instead of vblank message -- Good speed-up.
• (raf) Core/Plugins: UI Plugins have versioning now, and won't work across versions of PSPRadio that don't support the same interface.
• (raf) Core: Clean-up.
• (raf) CScreen: Using GU for clearing screen and background copies. This makes rendering (TextUI) MUCH faster; especially during fullscreen visualization!.

• (raf) TextUI: When switching skins all the text will disappear. Corrected.
• (raf) Choosing exit from option menu is much faster, and less prone to crashing.

• (raf) Core: Static IP connections don't work correctly. Seems the gateway is not used as it should. (Also, make sure CPU speed is 222 when establishing a WiFi connection).
• (raf) Core: Module unloading doesn't free up all memory correctly. Even though plugins can now be loaded/unloaded, the PSP can eventually crash as it runs out of memory (after loading/unloading enough times; even though I switched back and forth between the text and 3d UIs over 20 times, and everything worked fine).
