Homebrew - TXT Reader Beta 1 Released

**The Central Scrutinizer** · 12-06-2010,06:17 PM

facanferff, of PS3Hax Network, has released a new homebrew program called TXT Reader.

Currently this is BETA release, and all it does is like the name says, reads .txt / .cpp / .c / .h files directly from your PS3 hard drive, and it comes with a built-in file browser plus you can change the font size.

Hi everyone, I’m developing an application for PS3 that lets you to open .txt/.cpp/.c/.h files directly from any place of your HDD.

This is the first release of the Beta, current features are:

File Browser to select document
Option to increase/decrease font size
Option to increase/decrease number of lines of the document to be read
Return to File Browser when you are inside a document (R3)

NOTE:

I’m developing it yet, I will try to add more features.
I will try to include Keyboard on screen to write directly to documents.

This application was developed with SDK.

Nice work. This should be integrated as a function in the file managers, like ComGenie. Same with a photo viewer/previewer.

And MultiMan

Kinda cool. I thought about making one of these. Maybe the author will think about some more useful file formats to add in future releases (.pdf, .chm, etc).

I've been hoping for a text reader for a long time

Here's hoping for the ability to force opening of files with any extension soon.

edit: I absolutely LOVE the text zooming! Fantastic feature!

Great app, thanks!

Opening files it "shouldn't" in plain text could be handy when exploring the files onboard the PS3 (just like WinXP's "Open with.." if ya get me) for making/testing minor adjustments (e.g. HTML / XML etc).

Editing and saving (using a USB keyboard??) onboard will save me so much time too!

I was thinking maybe .cfg or .ini file support, maybe even hex edit for those pesky PARAM.SFO's
