Bookr Updated to 0.7.1

Bookr


Carlos and Edward have updated their popular homebrew PDF and text file reader to version 0.7.1, adding bug fixes and a new feature that Korean and Japanese readers will be pleased to hear about whilst increasing stability and fixing a few notorious memory leaks. Bookr is a document reader for the PSP that currently supports plan text (.txt) PDF, and new for this release, text-only basic HTML files. Here's a rundown of all the improvements you can find in this release:
  • Added support for PDF files with Chinese, Japanese and Korean text
  • Added a memory usage counter
  • Added single line scroll for the analog pad in the text viewer
  • Bookr will now try to block images from loading in PDF files when it is running low on memory
  • Fixed many memory leaks in the image loader for PDF files. Bookr can load and display PDF files with more images than before.
  • Fixed memory leaks releasing the PDF viewer singleton Restored full page scroll with cursor buttons
  • Fixed font corruption for large font sizes in the text viewer
  • Fixed page positions in the text viewer after changing the font size and/or font rotation. Bookmarks for text files are not compatible with older releases.
Thanks for the tip Humbertox!

Not a lot of new stuff to it, but still one of the best homebrews in my opinion.

# I think...Guest 2006-08-18 15:22
I think you only have to convert it to a 1.00 Eboot and you'll be set :-)

# 0.6xGuest 2006-08-18 15:37
for me, 0.6x is still better than this version. because i can zoom to a much larger font and fit width. with 0.7x, it uses too much whitespace or margin on the left or right, and if you try to zoom and adjust using the left and d-pad buttons, you just cant because it jumps like half an inch when moving the text.

# Wicked APP!Guest 2006-08-18 19:01
THX! i can't appreciate how much this application helps!



being a student and not using the psp lately (too lazy to install cough cough isoz)



i can use this to get ahead on my readings... i just hope they fixed the really bad .pdf memory bug, kept crashing after 10pages with zoom~ otherwise it was stable for far longer...



i wonder if .txt is better?... anyone else with experience?

# IRSHELLGuest 2006-08-18 21:47
You can make it work with IRshell, you simply replace the IRSHELL eboot file in one of the IRSHELL folders (i forgot which one, go look for it yourself)



But anyways, WOOHOO!!! BookR is one of my favorite homebrews, and I'm so glad they fixed some of the memory problems!
