Strmnrmn makes progress on PSP Media Engine

PSP Updates reports:
Remember StrmnNrmn's promise over the Media Engine for the Sony PlayStation Portable's Daedalus emulator? The PSP homebrew developer has spent some time reviewing the audio code. StrmnNrmn tried out a PRX incarnate of the Media Engine, thanks to PS2 Dev contributor J.F., and it proved worthwhile in making certain progress into the Media Engine development.

There are still hurdles to overcome, says StrmnNrmn, and one of them includes synchronization. Though the audio code has yet to be run on the Media Engine and tested, the possible synchronization issues are likely to be the main culprit to contend with.

To solve this issue, the developer is looking into testing the Media Engine code extensively to avoid debugging the ME code - a mountain of headaches in itself. The plan is to create a test model for the Media Engine, embodied by a recoded "job manager" program, to simulate the execution of code on the ME itself.

How will it turn out? We'll see when StrmnNrmn comes back from adventuring in seas of code.

Stackless Python 2.5.1 Released for PSP

News/release from Carlos Eduardo:

After working some time on it, I have updated the Stackless Python for PSP to version 2.5.1, the latest version released and made the application user mode tested on 3.71 firmware.

In this release, I have fixes the problem exiting the application (where it locked the PSP) and tested many other functionality.

Here follows changes between last version:

- The SSL has been removed for now because it was not working on latest release.
- Fixed time and datetime modules to display correct dates and times based on PSP timezones and DST.
- Fixed problems on sys and os modules
- Ported to user mode and 3.xx kernel.

I hope many people could test this release and post feedbacks about it.

The package can be downloaded from here: http://stacklesspsp.googlepages.com/...PSP2.5.1_1.zip

The installation is the same, put the "python" directory on your MS root and place the EBOOT.PBP in your PSP/GAME3xx or GAME dir if you set it to run 3.xx apps.
