PSPoste Beta4 now with TrueType font support
You gotta give snaps to people who never quit improving their work. And by people, we mean Ben and Dave, makers of this uber cool email client for the PSP called PSPoste.
If you guys were able to catch PSPoste Beta 1, you’ll see that this nifty app has indeed gone a long way. After fixing some issues and cleverly updating the homebrew app to include Gmail and Yahoo support, they’re now back to bring us another bumped up version.
So, curious as to what nifty new things have been added in Beta 4? I’ll give you guys a clue: why sizzle, when you can swizzle? Hahaha. Never mind, just check out the changelog.
Changelog:
- Interface and email text now rendered with TrueType Fonts. Thanks to FreeType and the Bookr project for the code.
- Skin and font textures are now swizzled.
- Rendered fonts and skin pngs are now cached in their swizzled state. That means rendering of the .ttf and .png files will only happen the first time the app is launched, subsequent launches/quits will be much quicker.
- We no longer ship with “default” settings and contacts xml files. They will be automatically generated at runtime if they don’t exist. This means users no longer need to backup their settings.xml and contacts.xml files when upgrading.
- Fix a crash and some rendering bugs in CText.
INSTALL/UPGRADE NOTES: unzip the PSPoste_Beta4_FW15.zip file to your PSP/GAME directory. Existing settings, contacts and mail will be preserved.
Naturally, we here at QJ would host the files ourselves to make it easier for you guys but Ben and Dave have requested for us to just link to their download site, so that’s what we’ll do. Just note though that we wave the disclaimer flag on this one as we cannot be held responsible for any files that we don’t host, but not to worry, it’s all legit, people. So with that, we’ll just leave you with the “Read” link, which will lead you directly to the devs’ site. Enjoy!
