piKey from Noobz - Image 1


Homebrew developers Cleanser23, Angelo, Lunix, Hells Plumber, Wakaru, and Joseph have teamed up to create a new piKey build with permission from Fanjita. The new program aims to address bugs in version 0.3 of the program, and to "finally" make it compatible with 3.71 M33.

The new program, called "Unofficial piKey 0.4" is still currently in the works and the team is looking for ideas and assistance in terms of programming. In their words, they need help with "simple tasks that only require a good knowledge of C and to be set up in a dev environment." Here are their notes:

We've done the following so far:
  • Fixed the 'x' button issue, not 'x' shows as the correct one, not the multiplication one.
  • Added new, improved and cleaner keymaps (added Targus and Palm) and have created our own custom Targus CTRLMap.txt
  • Found and created a small portal for the release. (Existing PSP Windows Portal and a created EBuddy one)
  • Made the installer better and cleaner.
  • Added 100% working Targus, Palm and Hama maps! (Hama driver I believe is still a bit funny Undecided)
  • Made a Targus expansion pack with a working Keymap and user friendly CTRLMap.
What we are working on:
  • Add key repeats for the Targus keyboard so you can hold down a key and it'll autotype instead of tapping it many times. (almost done.. pointless agreeing to sign up for this job)
  • Add a function so you don't have to press the 'select' key to have to correct character input. This will make the release perfect.
  • Add a function so a message is displayed when CAPS/Num/Scroll is on. (almost done.. pointless agreeing to sign up for this job)
  • Finally... make it compatible with 3.71 M33
Head over to the forum thread to know the full details of the program in development. And just in case you do want to share you coding talents to the UPK Team, then by all means...

"piKey is a keyboard driver, with the aim of allowing you to use just about any keyboard (or similar input device) as a natural method of input on your PSP."
