The development of LEDA doesn’t mean that development of 1.50 kernel addon will be ceased. 1.50 addon is very easy to code, and thus it will still be coded for almost full 1.5 compatibility, but LEDA has some advantages over it.

Advantages:
- It works on slim too
- It doesn’t need much flash space
- You don’t need to care about which folder your homebrew is.
LEDA first tries to load the homebrew program normally. If it works, then the homebrew is a 3.XX+ one, and leda terminates itself to not waste RAM. Otherwise, leda does some patches to load the 1.0/1.5 homebrew.
- Unlike 1.50 kernel addon, LEDA tries to be independent of firmware. This means that whenever a new version of M33 is released, leda will probably work without need of an update.

For all you old homebrew lover’s. If you wanna check the compatibility list here it is.

Disadvantages:
- Less compatibility. Anyways, I will try to make LEDA compatible with those old homebrew that are still useful today because they weren’t updated or because they have a better old version.

Install instructions:
Copy LEDA folder to /PSP/GAME and run it. The program will install a prx in the system, this will be done very quickly. After this, you can already try to run 1.0/1.5 homebrew normally from XMB; LEDA folder is not needed anymore in the ms and you can delete it if you want.

Installation guides:

4. Enter The Recovery Mode: on the menu – shut down by the shutdown, full-PSP (wait five seconds while holding the shutdown button) turn on the the-PSP while holding the button R.
5. Enter to-Plugins then Enable two options of music.prx [vsh], mucis.prx [game].
6. Back to on-PSP – by clicking on the Back and Exit.
Now The Botuns:
Click the SELECT first always.

SELECT + R – to run the songs in an orderly fashion / start the songs are Rndomli.
SELECT + right – to sing the next move.
SELECT + Left – to sing the previous move.
SELECT + Square – show / hide information about the song.

* For those who already had a folder named Seplugins simply transfer the file to a folder and copy the PRX what VSH text file written to a text file inside the VSH-PSP line under what name and the file says the game to.

Most other changes are devoted to cleaning things up, to finally support the 4.3 gcc compiler and to fix up the broken source of 109.

You may be interested in reading my book, Menoetius.

* A 65535 enum added for TILE_NAMES to placate the gcc 4.3 compiler. (Malte Helmert, Joe B, Magnate)
* >string.h< is the correct header. (Joe B)
* Clean scripts improved to clean more stuff so I don't release with a broken support directory again. (Joe B)
* Executable bit removed from CREDITS.TXT and LICENCE.TXT. (Malte Helmert)
* Animated Trees no longer randomly generated in the dungeon, they are meant to only exist as a result of summons. (Kayvon, Gwazi01)
* If Baezlb'b's heart grants life save, he will no longer have his life saved, and, more importantly, the heart will no longer be destroyed. (Stefan O'Rear)
* When you convert a flesh golem into a stone golem it will no longer report both names. (Lim-Dul)
* "You stop over concerns of your safety." now has an r in concerns. (eilu)
* Spells you don't know now show up greyscale in the action bar. Similarly, if you can't cast it due to not enough mana, it is greyed out proportionaly to how much mana is needed.
* Inventory background is coloured according to your knowledge of the item, making it easier to separate out cursed/holy/regular. This also distinguishes between items you have tried on (so you know they are not cursed) vs ones you haven't tried. (Irashtar)
* You can mark items as favorite. This causes them to get a yellow background in the inventory and always be sorted first. (Pikadude No. 1)
* Weapons have the e in them when you forget the dual wield skill. (Joe B)
* Text for animate forest spell and creature tweaked to better align with the normal English speaker's concept of grammar.
* Did I mention I finished a book, Menoetius? I did? Well, I'll just bury a reference in this wall of text anyways.
* The buildall.sh script for Linux has been updated to try and make it more ebuild compatible thanks to work by Zasenko Sergey. I may have misread his patch, however, so problems in this version are likely my fault.

File Description

This program, PSP is a plug-in that runs on a custom firmware.
Sony Akira Makoto on normal firmware does not work.

It is routine, self-responsibility in any event.
Not to give anything to play and a prolonged failure to suddenly freeze.

Overview
————————————————-
Reassign the button, any button and set the batter,
Macro functions are performed automatically to certain operations.

Rensha settings, so that you can press to leave the state,
RPG and can be kind of a battle without the use of automatic rubber band and scheelite.

Macro function is to record the specific behavior, you can repeat it.

The analog stick adjustment or re-assigned function,
You may be able to cover some of the analog sticks and broken loose button.

Requirements Confirmed
Custom Firmware 5.00 M33-4

I do not work with 3.71M33.
Firmware does not work with less.

PSP-2000 and PSP-3000 because the activity does not have to know,
RAM does not use the extension.

Installation
The following files are included with the ms0: / seplugins copies.

macrofire.prx
macrofire.ini

Then, ms0: / seplugins in

vsh.txt
game.txt
pops.txt

Add the following in their path.

ms0: / seplugins / macrofire.prx

If these files do not exist, please create.
After going to write RIKABARIMODO, Plugins item
Where the plug-in needed to Enabled.

However, VSH on “Internet browser” in the works is limited, and macro functions Rensha function does not work.
This is to address the concerns that they were offensive to other sites that mock these capabilities,
We want to ease the restrictions and measures.

The sample configuration file folder remap the re-set button assignments,
Remap settings menu is actually read from the configuration file.
MacroFire to run, this folder is not required.

analog_to_dpad.ini key is assigned to cross the analog stick,
dpad_to_analog.ini assigns to cross key analog stick.

Usage
When you start the game, using the two volume buttons (+ and – keys) and then by pressing the Start menu.
This button can be changed in the configuration file.
See below “configuration file” please refer to the item.
The basic key is the following menu.

? ?: Move items
? ?: Change Option
? button: the decision of the items
× button: Back
START button: exit immediately Menu

This is a typical operation, the functions of other items,
May have another operation.
In this case, may have been written about how to manipulate the screen under each key.

Functions
MacroFire Engine
Or switch to activate this plugin.
Roll button and macro functions and features will affect all functions.
OFF immediately after the game starts it is, if you use the cross using the key switch to ON.
You can set the initial state in the configuration file.

Buttons to launch the menu
MacroFire game set in the button to display the menu.
The menu button you want to see here is set to ON, by pressing a button combination in the game,
MacroFire can display the menu.
You can set the initial state in the configuration file.

Buttons to toggle the engine state
MacroFire Engine without a menu ON / OFF button to switch between sets.
The button where you want to use the switch is set to ON, by pressing a button combination in the game,
If the MacroFire Engine OFF to ON, OFF ON switch to it.
You can set the initial state in the configuration file.

Tuning the analog stick sensitivity
Position and sensitivity of the analog stick to set the dead zone.
Details are included manual_analogsens.txt please

Remap settings
Set the re-allocation.
Details are included manual_remap.txt please.

Rapidfire settings
Sets of automatic fire.
Details are included manual_rapidfire.txt please.

Macro settings
And will run the macro function.
Details are included manual_macro.txt please.

Configuration file
Macrofire.ini and preferences,
Rensha configuration file, the macro file format is the same with the exception of some.

For more information, please see the included manual_ini.txt.

Work order
Adjust the analog stick, re-assign button, burst, macro,
These functions are handled by the order from the menu in a row.

In other words, after the re-allocation adjustment buttons and analog sticks,
Rensha processing, the results of macro-blazing after the treatment is used.

For example, in re-assign button, ? × button ? button and then press the button simultaneously,
Settings button and automatic fire from × ? RAPID to the mode button,
? at the push of a button, × ? is blazing a button and two buttons.

Known issues
- Back to the game screen to exit the menu screen is distorted for a moment.
- “Portable SSHO regionally everyday” burst mode, why does “RAPID” does not work.
“AUTO-RAPID” is to work.
To look at the press of a button on the left by way of something like that is a priority there.
Further cause is unknown.

Specifications
- Displaying the contents of the menu screen LCD (liquid crystal display) and the extent to leave off automatically,
Reflected a split second after the game at the end of the menu, it may be left to degenerate quickly.
In this case, if the game BGM, but a black screen as well BGM keeps ringing,
If there is no BGM, so careful to stay on the line power seems to freeze on the surface.
If you are in this state, PSP can resolve the brightness by pressing the Change button.

- The menu in the middle of a file access,
Will leave access lamp blinks and Memory Stick.
However, it seems that the visit has been really, is not particularly harmful.
However, when the state is to fetch a list of files,
Save the settings and macro Rensha / time out to run a load.
If the timeout is returned to the game once, and may try again later.

- Too bad English.
Not limited control.

Future Plans
- To switch settings for each game to load at startup.
- Remap settings to be more easy to use interface.
- Save the file / RODODAIAROGU,
To make the operation a little more about the files.
- Organize the code.

Finally
Although often seen with a light, plug-in is not a formal mechanism,
PSP games to work on is not considering the presence of plug-in.
Therefore, do not forget the game that always precariously freeze.
The game can be saved to save the?IMASHOU frequently.

Acknowledgments
This software, PSPLink has benefited greatly from the source code.
If you do not have this software and this is difficult.
And if there is no PSPSDK custom firmware, and there was such a development in itself.
Thank you take this opportunity.

Thanks all the developers of the PSPSDK, the PSPLink and the CFW.
