PReSS v0.1 – a portable RSS feed reader

PSP homebrew developer The Underminer has released a new project called PReSS. Want to know more about this portable RSS feed reader? Check out the full article for details and the download.

PlayStation Portable homebrew developer The Underminer gave us a heads up for a new release, called PReSS. It stands for Portable RSS and it was inspired by Sony‘s RSS Channel feature that first appeared back in firmware 2.60.

According to The Underminer (known for releases like Galactic Breakout and Special Operations), the RSS Channel was kind of disappointing as it only plays “the audio attachments” instead of a “full-fledged rss-reader.” PReSS basically allows users to download RSS feeds and read them at your pleasure. Talk about news on the go, right?

This is PReSS’ initial release (version 0.1) but it already has sweet features such as compatibility with all RSS versions (except Atom and RDF), WEP Wi-Fi connection support, built-in catalogues, and topic expiring (meaning old news automatically deleted and you can set the expiration amount). It also sports GIF, PNG, and JPEG support, plus it resizes images to fit the window and it is fully skinnable.

The Underminer had some reminders for users: “I want to stress that the home button should only be used to exit the app in case of a crash; because changes won’t be saved. Use select instead.”

Anyway, check out the download below. The Readme includes important information so be sure to go through it before anything else.
