Screenshot for yPaint Anniversary Edition - Image 1 


Here's an application that's bound to make graphics fans smile. Yongobongo recently released the latest version of his PSP image editing application known as yPaint. Now known as yPaint Anniversary Edition, the application seems to have had a lot of big changes, most notable of which is the ability to edit your configuration settings to tweak almost any variable in yPaint.

The full list of current features can be found below:
  • Save
  • Open
  • USB Mode, for transferring created images
  • Pencil
  • Zoom (up to 4x zoom, with no quality loss!)
  • Brush
  • Custom Brushes (by Haxxblaster, these are from version 5)
  • Text Input Tool
  • New Enhanced Keyboard (based on Danzeff, originally by Fuzzie 360)
  • Rectangle Tool
  • Circle (Ellipse) Tool
  • Random Spray Tool (Like the spray in MS Paint!)
  • New redesigned interface
  • Size selection
  • RGB Colour Editor
  • Quick Colour Selector
  • Full Colour Selector
  • Eraser (Now transparent, not white!)
  • Transparency in canvas (NOTE: Save as PNG if you want to keep the transparency!)
  • Line Tool
  • Scroll Tool (To move around canvas)
  • Fill Bucket (Fill areas of the same colour, NOTE: This is a little buggy.)
  • Completely recoded from the ground up
  • PDF User Manual
  • 'settings.cfg' for editing settings
In related news, Yongobongo has also set up another round of bounty hunting for fans of the application and fans of QJ.net. Here's his comment on the original NeoFlash post: "There is an Easter Egg in this version of yPaint. If you are the first to find it, I'll give you 8 million points on QJ.net forums if you PM me!" He hints that it's in the settings.cfg, though as to what it is, we have no idea.

Feel free to check out the readme for additional instructions on installing and using the different functions of yPaint, and don't hesitate to vote for yPaint in this year's NeoFlash Summer Coding Competition if you like yongobongo's work, alright?

There has always been problems with getting this to work on some firmwares this is because yongo uses hen and not a 1.5 or custom firmware. if you have troubles running it you can always go download lua player and use it that way. i believe it runs of lua player mod 4.

Nice layout, best paint tool I've seen yet, keep up the progress.

I thought for sure I'd be able to tell these noobs how to run it but I'm on 3.52 M33 and I can't find a way to do it..I even tried a lua player.. XD

Needless to say, somebody will figure it out and tell us. Thanks!!!

 » I got it to work!

I am on 3.4 OE A, and just like you guys, it wouldn't work. I tried game 150, game 340, game, nothing would work.

So I booted up irshell 3.1, went into my memory stick directory, and selected the eboot and ran it. It gave me an error, then started right up.

It's a lot better than that other paint app, but the controls are a little confusing. Time to read the readme! :)

I hope they post a patch or something, because I hardly ever use irshell, and now I have to boot it up just draw a picture...

 » Attention!!

Dark_Alex quoted that the 3.40 LE is a cheap creation or his own. So I believe you ppl should just upgrade to M33 CFW.

found on maxconsole forums.
