So.. Here's the old thread
http://www.milkytracker.net/milkyboards/viewtopic.php?t=619
Before I start learning to code, is there anybody else who might be interested in doing this port?
;D
-
Actually:
(http://www.milkytracker.net/forum_img/Deltafire-MTPSP.jpg) (http://www.milkytracker.net/video/Deltafire-MTPSP.3gp)
MilkyTracker already runs on the PSP but user input is not implemented.
-
what the heck? seems like it isn't too much of a stretch to add keyboard support right? unless this is some kind of hoax :)
edit: or is that just the player that was released a while back? i've never even run it
-
No.. what you see there (the picture links to a video file) is a recent version of MilkyTracker running on my PSP :)
As for keyboard support, well I don't have a keyboard on my PSP (and I don't think pailes does either) so it would be hard for us to implement the support. But, since we are now open source maybe someone else would like to step up and work on this port.
Note: Milkytracker is using SDL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_DirectMedia_Layer) for its hardware access. This means that if SDL has keyboard support on the PSP, then MilkyTracker also has keyboard support on the PSP - with no extra work involved :)
-
I will give you my keyboard. Then if the support gets added, I'll buy another one for myself. I bought it so I could use dosbox to try to get a tracker working. That was sure a failure!
-
why dont make a note input like the gameboy trackers ?

What kind of a keyboard is that?

it's the targus universal wireless IR keyboard. i bought it because it seemed to be talked about more frequently than the others, so i hoped it would have better compatibility
-
also, i've posted on the ps2dev forums and there is a guy who has built a midi cable for psp (and schematics on how to make one), and also a "simple midi message handling library". I don't know if this would be useful for Milky or be able to be integrated into it?
Here's the ps2dev forums thread

a IR keyboard makes no sense, becuase the newer PSP Slim doesnt have a IR port (sadly).
But talking about Playstation:
What do you guys think of a PS2 port? The PS2 can handle USB Keyboard/Mouse & USB Mass Storage

most(?) people still have an older phat psp. and an official sony keyboard is supposed to be coming out to work with the slim models eventually (sometime this year?). support for that could be added later conceivably
-
good to know, i only have a slim psp :D
-
Well, if I had the time and the motivation I'd give it a try, but this time someone else needs to do the job. I simply can't, that's one of the reasons why we decided to release the code :-\
-
alright. c++ for dummies, here i come!

same here! :D

do you have an ir keyboard? do you know anything about coding? maybe we can band together, assuming we can't find someone else interested. let me know, and i'll also post on some psp forums tonight
-
i will talk with some ps2 (no PSP) dudes next time, becuase i think a PS2 port makes also some sense, because you can use any USB hardware (keyboard, mouse, mass storage and so on...) and its also possible to start homebrew software without a modchip on a PS2 (using MAX Media Player or other boot discs)...

If libSDL supports USB keyboards on the psp/ps2 there's a chance that Milkytracker will work with them as is.
Milkytracker does currently compile for the psp with no problems (or did last time I tried it), so simply build a binary and try it.
Here (http://df0.myzen.co.uk/milkytracker/testing/mt-pspold.zip) is a binary I built earlier (in fact, the same one that is shown in the video). You may have to magically convert it to an eboot thing to get it to run, or use PSPLink.

I will certainly try that. Thank you!
-
Couldn't there be support for an onscreen keyboard as well? (you'd select the keys with the thumbstick, move around the tracker with the digital pad)
-
Yes, that is certainly possible.

I didn't get a chance to download this before you took it off your webspace. Is there any way you could put it back up?
It would be greatly appreciated :)
-
Updated.
Not sure how you go about converting that into an eboot file so it may be of limited use. It will run under psplink though, as that's how I ran it.

Thank ya ;D ;D I'll try to figure something out

I have to claim laziness and business this summer as an excuse for not even attempting to get this to work on my PSP yet... However, some recent interesting news in the PSP scene has sparked up my interest very heavily ..
A no mod PSP keyboard/mouse/joystick interface
http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=154262
All it requires is getting this $30 usb microcontroller and flashing the appropriate drivers onto it. I'm trying to find out from the guy who is doing work on it, whether a ps/2 to usb adapter would work, i.e. let you use keyboard and mouse at the same time. If so, this will be some HOT stuff!
Will post updates sometime after I've managed to get a microcontroller and mess with it.
-
By the way, you can now get really small notebooks ("NetBooks") which are fully fledged computers and they're rather cheap :D
-
Thanks dude... but if I get a laptop, it's going to be fast enough to run Renoise comfortably with some vsti's :angel:
-
I use milkytracker on a pda. the directional pad is very useful although a little uncomfortable to use. milkytracker with gameboy style input running on the new pandora games pda thing could be amazing (more comfortable to use and faster input than with a stylus).....
-
i take that last comment back...milkytracker on the PDA is VERY comfortable to use. I was just retarded and unable to use it properly at the time of writing that.
