File Assistant v1.0 for PSP |
Listed in: Homebrew Applications, Homebrew Development Tags: psp homebrews

The TiTAN Demo Division have released a new version of their very nicely polished File Assistant program for the PSP, version 1.0. File Assistant is a file management program in which you can transfer files to and from the assistant, run .pbp files, play many formats of music, view images and much more (including flash!) From the authors: ?
As usual, FileAssistant++ is totally FREE and OPEN-SOURCE (GPL)
We've spent a lot of time developing, debugging and improving it (ask our wife/girlfriend!) and as I'm sure you'll find it useful we've given you the option to donate us a few bucks or euros which we'll have a drink of beer with!
Thanks in advance, and enjoy FA++ !
Please take care, the code source is quite huge and relies on many 3rd party libs not included :
- ffmpeg
- sc68, sid player, nofrendo, libmad, oggvorbis, st sound, sap...
- png, jpeg...
If you have any problems finding them or recompiling them to work with FA++, please post a message in the forum [here].?
Changes in this release include:
1.1 Various File support
- Lua Interpreter v0.12 supported (LUA files)
- ASCII file basic reader (TXT files)
- Built-in Flash support greatly improved (SWF files)
1.2 Video
- Video files support : (AVI, MOV, MPEG)
1.3 Core Functionalities
- FTP client support thru wifi
- Run any PSP executables (ELF files and fake EBOOT.PBP) and go back to FA++ when exiting
- Run any UMD (umd:/SYSDIR/EBOOT.BIN) and go back to FA++ when exiting
1.4 Music:
- Support for C64 SID chiptunes (SID files) Grab tunes here
- Support for Atari ST and Amiga (SC68 files) Grab tunes here
- Support for Atari XL chiptunes (SAP files) Grab tunes here
- Support for Nintendo NES chiptunes (NSF files) Grab tunes here
- Spectrum analyser
- DSP effects (spatial, echo)
- Music information (author, title) in the scrollbar for some music formats

Well, lets start =)

Me descargé el File Assistant 1.0, lo metàen el directorio correcto, corràel programa en mi PSP (USA 1.5 no downgradeada) y hasta ahàtodo bien. Pude navegar por mi Memory Stick sin problemas, visualize unas cuantas fotografÃÂas, cambié el skin del programa al OSX y después de eso me salàdel programa, sincronizé la PSP con mi PC via USB y pasé unos trailers del videojuego "Dungeons & Dragons Online", estos estan en formato .mov, hasta ahàtodo iba perfecto, pero cuando volvàa entrar al File Assistant e intentar reproducirlos, en la PSP apareció como una pantalla de debug con muchos mensajitos de error, la pantalla no paraba de parpadear de color blanco a negro, blanco a negro, y como dije muchos números y mensajes de error aparecÃÂan en el fondo hasta que la PSP se quedo congelada por completo, la reinicié y al momento de reiniciarla intenté acceder a mis aplicaciones en el Memory Stick pero OH SORPRESA, la PSP ya no me detectaba ningún MS, después de eso intenté entrar en modo USB y accesar al MS por medio de mi PC pero tampoco pude hacerlo, la PC me detectaba el dispositivo de almacenamiento pero al momento de querer accesar a este me decÃÂa que porfavor introdujera un disco en esa unidad (en pocas palabras, la PC tampoco detecta el dispositivo).
También intenté formatear el MS con un programa para formatear dispositivos USB pero no funcionó, también intenté accesar a el MS mediante el Partition Magic y con la herramienta Disk Management que trae integrada Windows XP, pero tampoco me detecto nada.

No, it wont. No it will probably never run on 2.0 firmware. Unless something unexpected happens ;)

mm no, I never ejected my MS when it was being read.
After the PSP crashed, I turned it off TOTALLY and took the MS out.

I downloaded File Assistant 1.0, put it in the right directory, ran the program on my PSP (USA 1.5 non-downgraded) and up until then it was fine. I could navigate the Memory Stick without problems, viewed a few photos, changed the program skin to OSX and then I exited the program, synchornized the PSP with my PC via USB and put on some trailers for the "Dungeons & Dragons Online" video game - these were in .MOV format. Up through this, it was all perfect, but when I returned to File Assistant and tried to play them, the PSP went into something like a debug screen with lots of error messages. The screen kept flashing black and white, black and white, and like I said, lots of numbers and error messages appeared at the bottom until the PSP crashed completely. I restarted it and at the instant that I rebooted it I tried to access my applications on the Memory Stick but OH SURPRISE, the PSP couldn't detect any MS. After this I tried to go into USB mode and access the MS by way of my PC but it couldn't see it either. The PC detected the storage device but when I tried to access it it told me to "please insert a disk in the unit." In other words, the PC does not detect the card either. I also tried to format the MS with a program for formatting USB devices but it didn't work. I also tried to access the MS with Partition Magic and with the Disk Management tool that's integrated into Winows XP, but they didn't detect anything either.

ok, now that I am done gushing and sucking up, I would like to request that the ability to play flash games is somehow implemented (with the ability to map buttons on the psp to keypresses and mouse emulation) in the near future, this is one of the few features I am waiting for either sony or homebrew developers to add to psp systems. Also, perhaps adding more features will be a bad idea until the existing features are perfected, many programs go from being very functional to becoming a bloated and buggy waste of space by not perfecting the features they originally have and focusing on being a jack of all trades and I would hate to see such a nice program go to waste in that manner.

Large pictures (jpg, for one) will crash FA++. This has always happened, and still does in 1.0.
The NSF playback is a very cool idea (I was damned happy to see that in the changelog), but it needs a bit of work. For one, it plays at about half speed. Second, you can only listen to the first track (since NSF files are like playlists). Other than that, they seem fine.
Copying large files also crashes FA++.
