>>>> GAME MUSIC GEAR MX

>> INTRO 

>  GameMusicGear~MX is an upgrade from the old GameMusicGear.
   It's a multiformat music player designed with video game
   music in mind.

>  It's based on some popular multiformat players like 
   the xmms, winamp and oldplay for the gp32.
   

>> FEATURES

>  GMG_MX uses a new plugin system.  There are three types of 
   plugins.  Input Plugins for audio decoding (like mp3 plugin, 
   spc plugin, etc), Output Plugins to encode audio to another
   format, and the Visual Plugins for music visualization, lyrics 
   display, etc. Very similar to the winamp plugins.
   
   Each plugin consist of a config file (.plugin) and a module
   file (.prx).  And can be replaced or removed if you want to 
   upgrade or disable a plugin.
   
>  Custom Skin Support - Please read the skins.readme and see the skins found 
   in the skins folder if you want to make a new one.
   
>  Mini Visualizer - There are two mini visualizers available, spectrum
   and wave, inspired by the ones found in winamp.
   
>  Chinnese GBK, BMP and TrueType font support, with LATIN and UTF8 support.

>  Zip and Rar (rsn) files support.

>  In game configuration screen.

>  Control keys configuration - You can configure it through the 
   config menu, or you can do it manually editing the 'keys' file.
   
>  Three levels of audio output amplification, configured in  
   each plugin config file.
   
   
>> DEFAULT CONTROLS CONFIGURATION

This is the default controls configuration but you can always 
change it from the app controls setup screen.  There are a lot
of actions so you can either disable some of them or you can 
use combos like select + something.

>> INSTALL

Currently there is no support for the 1.5 kernel.  So it will only run in 
3.xx kernel in both FAT and SLIM psp's.  

Note: Currently i have only a PSP Slim to test the app, so some plugins like 
      in_UADE might not work properly due to the smaller amount of memory 
      available in the PSP Fat.

To install simply copy the GMGearMX folder to the GAME folder of your
psp.


NOTE:  I have tested the app only in the psp SLIM right now, so there might be
    other bugs in the psp FAT.  

>> KNOWN BUGS

*  Rewind and FastForward is not implemented in some plugins.
*  Change between skins when playing a song could cause strange behavior.


>> CREDITS

*   First i would like to thank all the people who made psp homebrew 
    posible.  (And of course to Sony for making a great device like the
	psp).
	
*   GameMusicGear~MX uses the JGE++ (Jas Game Engine++), a very 
    nice game engine by jhkhui.  
    http://code.google.com/p/jge	
    And the intraFont engine by BenHur
	
*   Programmer: Me (theHobbit or silmarilion)
    GUI design and graphics by me and maxo

If you have any suggestion or wanna help to improve the app
please contact me at gama.coder@gmail.com.

This app was done spending several hours of my free time
and i did it because i really like music and programming
but if you feel a little generous and think the app deserves 
a prop you can make a donation at this link:
