PReSS v0.4.1
www.press-psp.com
-------------------------------
by The Underminer (Nino van Hooff)


WARNING
-------------------------------
Only use the home button when the select button is unresponsive.
The home button will exit PReSS, but most changes won't be saved.

Press will show version number 0.4


Installation
-------------------------------

PReSS runs on the firmware 3.xx kernel. This means that it cannot run on 1.xx and 2.xx firmwares.
Supported firmwares are all 3.xx custom firmwares, including those for the PSP Slim.
Updaters: Users of 0.31 can update by subscribing to the 'PReSS updates' feed found in 
the Catalogue>English>News category.

Fresh install:
Copy the 'PReSS data' folder from the archive to
the root of your memorystick.
Copy the 'PReSS' folder to your homebrew directory.
For M33 custom firmware users this is:
X:/PSP/GAME/ (where X is your drive letter) or
X:/PSP/GAME3xx/ (where xx is your firmware number)

PReSS Personal
------------------------------

I have now implemented the most requested feature: adding your own feeds. It works
much like suggesting feeds for the public catalogue, but instead your feeds will appear 
in the 'Personal' category of the selected language. To use this service you will need a login.
Click the 'Personal' tab on the homepage for more info.

TroubleShooting
------------------------------

- The PSP hangs when connecting (the activity indicator does not rotate for more than 5 seconds)
 - Make sure your connection is set up properly
 - Make sure that you are within the range of your access point. PReSS requires fairly good reception
 - Make sure that your connection is not clogged by excessive uploading/downloading. BitTorrent is notorious
   for this; as well as limewire and other peer-to-peer applications
 - It is a bug, this just happens sometimes
 - use the home button to exit press if all else fails

- The feed won't download
 - When a feed is downloaded for the very first time; it might take longer,
   because the server has to completely process it.
 - Retrying is very likely to help; because the server will have cached the feed, allowing for faster download.
 - Because of waiting times that can be very long; I included an activity indicator. If the circle doesn't move
   for 5 seconds, you'll be waiting forever.
 

Known Bugs
------------------------------
    * Unsupported characters
      Some characters can not be displayed properly, and instead are rendered like a box.
    * Dropped spaces
      For some feeds; the spaces around links (wich are converted to plain text) are lost
    * When a corrupted image is loaded; the PSP freezes.
	Your PSP is NOT bricked, you can hold up the power switch for 10 seconds to shut down 
	the PSP, and then flick it up to reboot to the XMB
