Links 2.1pre22 Release r1206 – PSPRadio Plugin and Standalone Browser for FW 1.5

The juggernaut that is PSPRadio gets another update in the form of an updated Links2 plugin. In case any of you have just downgraded to 1.5, I’m sure you haven’t heard much about Links2.

Well, Links2 is THE best homebrew browser if you’re on 1.5. Now I know you can already use FW2.5 browser using DevHook, but for those who don’t want all that hassle of dumping firmware, Links2 is what you should be using.

There are two files for download. One is a PSPRadio plugin, and the other one is a standalone version of Links2. I’d personally recommend the standalone version, simply because of that fact that you get a little more usable memory, which PSPRadio would’ve eaten up if it was running.

Finally, let’s go through the changelog.

New features:

• New driver based on the linux framebuffer driver. This new driver access video RAM directly. Most of the graphic problems with SDL seem to be gone; but theres some new problems (the menus don’t clear correctly. by raf.)
• Using direct VRAM version of Danzeff to free up the memory used by the previous SDL version. (by sandberg)

The main new feature is the use of a new video driver, based on the linux framebuffer driver. Although the implementation seems to be a bit buggy right now, I’m sure it will be cleared over time.

For now, enjoy the best homebrew browsing experience on FW1.5
