WHAT IS VisualApplication?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visual application is a set ogf different applications written thanks to
Nanodesktop library (ver. 0.3.4). Specifically, it contains a calculator, a Wav/Mp3
player and a simple vocal synthesizer.
This could be a starting point for a more complex and fluent project.


SETUP
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy visualApplication folder in
ms0:/PSP/GAME 

Then copy "ndKRNExtender_v1.prx" file in MS root: 
ms0:/ndKRNExtender_v1.prx

Finally you must have this path: 
ms0:/PSP/GAME/VisualApplication/EBOOT.PBP


FEATURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Opening menu allows you to launch the other apps from button or from menu.
It's also possible to change the background, using this images type: 
BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, PNM, PGM, PSD, PCX, ICO, TGA, SGI, TIF, XPM.

- Calculator has simple mathematical functions, in particular: arithmetic
operations (sum, subtraction, multiply, division), percentage calculation,
power of a number, square root, etc..

- Music player allows to execute MP3/WAV files (automatic filetype recognition), 
with classic control buttons (Play, Stop, Pause, Rew, FFW). 
Moreover, you can jump forward in songs by clicking the pointer in the progress 
bar. There are also volume controls (left trackbar, above progress bar) and 
balance (right trackbar).
In menu you can find controls to open or close an audio file, Play, Stop
 and Pause it. In options, currently you can only enable/disable "repeat track" function.

- T2Speech module, allows our PSP to speak: clicking on the area in the
 middle of window it's possible to insert (through the on-screen keyboard) one 
or more words, and then hit Enter in the OSK. By clicking "Speak" you'll 
hear your PSP say your written words.

- Thanks to VisualOCR, porting of GOCR, it's possible to recognize the text
from a  image file. It's also possible to save the result of recognize 
on a txt file (it will be saved with the same name of the selected image file, 
in the same folder, but with .txt extension).
The recognize is fully configurable thanks to a lot of options.

- The Nanodesktop FileManger allow to rename and delete files and explore folders.

- Thanks to NanoDesktop technology, the apps are multitasking, so you could
play an audio file and at the same time use calculator or vocal syntetizer, 
without any loss of quality.


KNOWN BUGS:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Calculator, with high numbers, put random numbers in the last decimal positions.
- If you use the "jump forward" function in a song, even if you have disabled the 
  "repeat track" option, the player, at the end of song, restart it again.
- Vocal syntesis function still needs some improvement.
