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.


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

Updaters: Because of a new method of saving and loading files; v0.2
is completely uncompatible with v0.1. Before you continue, delete  
the 'PReSS data' and 'PReSS' folders!

Copy the 'PReSS data' folder from the archive to
the root of your memorystick.
Copy the 'PReSS' folder to your homebrew directory.
For OE custom firmware users this is:
X:/PSP/GAME150/ (where X is your drive letter)

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

- How to set up a connection
 - From the PSP's XMB go to settings>network settings>infrastructure mode
 - The values that need to be filled in depend upon your access point

- The PSP hangs when connecting (the WiFi indicator does not blink for more than 20 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
 - 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 up to 3 minutes,
   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; an error message is displayed that freezes the PSP
	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
