  Welcome to PSPIRC


1. INTRODUCTION
 ------------

PSPIRC is a basic IRC client for the PSP. It is based
on the IRC engine written by Danzel.

Many thanks to Danzel for his Virtual kerboard and
his IRC stuff, and to all PSPSDK developpers.

Special thanks to Snaap06 for EBOOT icons.

2. INSTALLATION
 ------------

Unzip the zip file, and copy the content of the
directory fw1.5 or fw3.x (depending of the version of
your firmware) on the psp/game, or psp/game340 if you
use custom firmware 3.40-OE.

It has been developped on linux using Firmware
3.40-OE.

3. CONTROL
 ------------

3.1 - Virtual keyboard

In the console window, press Start to open/close the
On-Screen keyboard

The On-Screen Keyboard of "Danzel" and "Jeff Chen"

Use Analog stick to choose one of the 9 squares, and
use Triangle, Square, Cross and Circle to choose one
of the 4 letters of the highlighted square.

3.2 - IR keyboard

You can also use IR keyboard. Edit the pspirkeyb.ini
file to specify your IR keyboard model, and modify
eventually layout keyboard files in the keymap
directory.


4. HOW DOES-IT WORK ?
 ------------

4.1 - Create a connection with host, user, channel :
 
Host: The name of the IRC server
User: The nickname for this connection 
Pass: The password (optional) for this connection
Port: By default it's set to 6667, which is the
      standard IRC port but you can change it.

All those parameters can be easily entered using the
Virtual Keyboard (Press Start to display the
keyboard)

You can save your parameters in a binary encoded file
if you want using the "Save" menu.

4.2 - Connect to the IRC server

Then you can connect to the host you've specified
using the "Connect" menu.

If everything is going right, you should see a
console with a prompt few seconds after.

4.5 - Enter commands in the console window

In the console window you can use the Virtual
Keyboard to enter text or IRC commands.

The D-pad is mapped as follows :

  Up    : /
  Down  : <ENTER>
  Left  : <Backspace>
  Right : <Space>

Using LTrigger and RTrigger you can scroll the
console window.  Using the start button you can use
the Virtual keyboard.

Press the Select key to enter in the Console menu.
You will then be able to choose IRC commands in a
list. Use the Virtual Keyboard to specify the first
letter of the command (using the UPPERCASE letters
panel)

All those commands are written in a file command.txt
than can be edited using your favorite ASCII-text
editor, and you can add your own custom commands.

(NOTE) All commands should be alphabetically sorted !

5. Save snapshots and log files
 ------------

You can save snapshot in PNG format using the
snapshot option.  Files would be saved in the scr
directory.

You can also save the IRC console window as a text
file. Files would be saved in the log directory.


  Enjoy,

           Zx
