Beup 0.3 Rev2 Unveiled

Posted Jul 28, 2006 at 8:53PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: Beup, GUI, kevinc, MSN

If you aren't familiar with kevinc and his work-- Beup-- well, let us refresh your memories. Homebrew developer for the Nintendo DS, kevinc, has made this promising app called Beup which runs an MSN-like instant messaging application for the DS. When we first featured this app, it showed tremendous potential and the developer has been working hard for that potential to somehow materialize into reality. Now, the guy has released v0.3 rev2 of the app which is leaps and leaps better than the previous version. Here are the new things you can see in this update.

ChangeLog:
New features:
- Selectable avatars from card.
- Shows typing users.
- Shows date of last message (and a clock!)
- Emoticons on display names / text.
- 302 xfer for @msn.com accounts.
- Select presence before logging in.
- Option to auto connect.
- Stand by when lid is closed.
- Scrollable text in chat tabs.

Fixes:
- Overall GUI revamping.
- Reducing socket reading delay from 500 ms to 200 ms because of a more stable wifi lib, making the overall connection speed about 2.5x faster. (reducing it further doesn't change much, most of the times sockets are empty).
- Fixed avatar sending / receiving (read incorrect session id in some cases).
- Fixed listboxes, text areas to reduce constant flicker.
- Text fields are now edited in another window, so as not to cram textboxes in the same window as the keyboard.
- Added a clearing button to text fields.
- Fixed lots of bugs related to closing windows / opening windows that caused random crashes.
- Fixed "invisible tabs" bug.
- After closing tab, previous tab is selected, instead of the contact tab.
- Fixed bug where garbage was present on some principal descriptions.
- Fixed bug where the program was likely to crash if a principal was selected and then left.
- Selectable bigger brush on Inks, bigger eraser.
- Wider color selector.
- Removed START button as logoff, replaced with a button in contact tab.
- Added check box to invert RGB subpixel alignment on top screen for DS Lites.
- Fixed Ink transmission, caused incorrect messages if resulting GIF was too big.
- Fixed keyboard inaccuracy issues (I hope).
- Added support for Caps Lock.
- Remapped buttons:

A for Accept / Update / Send / Open Tab
B for Cancel / Back
X for Close window
L, R for Move to Left tab, Right Tab
(in textbox editing, L is still backspace)
Left, Right for moving cursor left, right

Known issues:
- Beup will refuse to open downloaded avatars if their size isn't 96x96 (the standard).
- Beup will refuse to open inks if they are wider than 256 px (can't present those).
- The official MSN client will refuse to send avatars if the last one was sent less than 5 minutes ago. That means that if you chat with somebody, disconnect, and then open the tab, avatar download may fail. (wait a few minutes, then try again).

kevinc would also like to extend his thanks to HtheB for helping him debug the program. He also released three types of the app -- with no fat lib support (for people using WMB, or who just don't want their card to be touched - saving is done in SRAM); With normal fat libs (most cards); and with rein-patched libs (M3SD, SCDS.). As always, you're constructive opinions, criticisms, suggestions and other what-nots are always welcome in the comments section, so don't hesitate to speak up.
