Work in progress

EEUG & bix64,

I'm using all the new features, and I love them--THANKS!! The second controller is great because I can use my IR port without unplugging my gamepad all the time. MPEG4 I-Frames give great compression (everyone can spare 28-32 KB on their memory cards), and all without extra display routines in the program, what a super idea. And the scrolling works pretty good, even over the network if the bitrate is low enough.

Much appreciated~!

i also think the SMS logo should only be drawn during startup, then cleared when the browser is displayed. this allows the background image to be clearly visible.

here are some attached skins. these were created/converted by bix64 of ps2dev forums.

@HypERSoniC: well, I (and probably 'bix64' too) used tweaked SMS itself to extract I-Frame from .avi file. Maybe he ('bix64') will try to create image converter and I will try relax 640x512 restriction. As for SMS logo then you're probably right, if next release will come then I'll remove that balls from the browser (btw., you can just recompile SMS from SVN, there're no balls at all there

). I'll try to do something with pan-scan/letterboxing (with absolutely no hurry

).
P.S. There's still old good FONTM font. New one is on its way. It is fully internationalized but I'm not quite sure yet if it is not too small (16x20 against 26x26 one from FONTM) for subtitles...

ok

this will give me more motivation to get my dev environment set up properly

as for the font, maybe there was there a box around the "Paused", and now its transparent? either way, if the new font gets implemented, im sure non-english speakers will appreciate it. (my movies with ä is displayed as some wierd cryllic character!)

either way, subtitles purpose is to give a translation of the movie in ones native language, so the international font will be required anway, even if it is small.

...Attached .elf displays a couple of string using "old" and "new" font. Feel free to express your opinions

...

Edit: it's also possible to stretch each character's bitmap as shown in Test_1.

Good work with the rev.7 now some of my avis with sync. problems are running well!!! thanks

**paulodeleo** · 10-31-2005,10:07 PM

The size of the Test.rar font seems to be too small... The stretched font from Test_1.rar looks bad, but not so mutch at TV screen...

Anyway, SMS is better than ever! Thank's for Ffwd & Rwnd!
Now only subtitles in my wish list!
