Make quick installers: Homebrew Installer Maker |
Ó
The folks at KlmSoftware Network informed us of a new app they've got for homebrewers to check out. If you're a homebrew maker who wants to make his games and apps more accessible to new members of the homebrew community, then you might want to see how well this works with you.
The app is called Homebrew Installer Maker and it's supposed to do just that: turn the assorted files of your homebrew application into an installer that anyone can use. The instructions seem simple enough for a coder to do as well:
- Place all files in the root folder.
- Treat that folder as the root of the memory stick.
- Create/Modify the following files:
- installerappname.bin ---Edit with notepad and enter your application's name
- installerbgimage.jpg ---small 320x170 image of anything you want
- installerreadme.txt ---your readme file
- Zip the "install.exe" along with the "installer" and "root" folders and that is it!

first !!! yes always wanted to do this
pretty cool
Well, not that bad... but what about us, MacOS or GNU/Linux or BSD users ? Will we have to bear with those stoooopid .exe files ? Imagine the mess it will be for us if this ever becomes a standard ! Now standardisation for homebrew installation would be a good idea, but please don't forget that there is a life beyond MS Windows... cheers
Windows users are noobs, that's why they need such crappy things. I think that if you're running *nix you're able to transfer files to your PSP by yourself.
What? Proud to be the 1% of users who use a Mac, or the 5% who use Linux? Face it. Windows is the standard. And Microsoft owns nearly 40% of Apple.
lol, MAC users moan too much, almost as much as 3.03 fw owners
"shiny rainbows" "chocolate chip cookies" there goes that new year resolution :D
There is a standard for homebrew packaging, but it's not very widespread. Currently only Install-o-tron uses it. If you download some homebrew applications you see a "hbinfo.txt" that includes information about installation for different firmwares. Download installotron and you'll see a file about the syntax of hbinfo.txt files. This installer should make use of a hbinfo.txt to find how to install the homebrew. This way here isn't very flexible (you can't install things differently for different firmwares - i.e. kxploit for 1.5, single folder for other firmwares) and only works on Windows computers with the correct .net framework.
wow... how has this not been moderated after 16 hours of it being posted
If you on a mac, go virtual windows program
The point is not "How could you use one OS to be able to use one "yet-to-come" PSP homebrew installing standard". To me, it's more "How could we create a universally easy to use (i.e. easier than hbinfo.txt) PSP homebrew installing standard" Let's not play that which OS is "da-best'o-the-ooool-fu'in'-OSz-in-da-world" thing. Let's just be clever. We all love homebrews, we all love our PSP : let's find a way to let each PSP owner feed it no matter what computer he owns. @ KlmSoftware Network devs : congrats anyway guys, the very idea of making the homebrew installing process is a great step ahead.
:-x :eek: :zzz :P :roll: :sigh: yuy
