PSPIRC is an IRC Client for PSP made by Ludovic Jacomme (aka Zx-81), based on the IRC engine written by Danzel. IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat is a protocol that allows you to run your own text-based chat servers.

Installation

Unzip the ZIP file and copy the content of the directory on the ms0:/PSP/GAME/.

User guide

Setting up IRC client:

Create a connection with host, user, channel.

Host	Name of the IRC server.
Port	By default it's set to 6667, which is the standard IRC port but you can change it.
User	User name for this connection.
Nickname	Nickname for this connection.
Realname	Realname for this connection.
Password	Password (optional) for this connection.
Channel	Channel name for this connection.
Script	The startup script (optional) for this connection.

The channel name should begin with a # (for example #psp). You can specify more than one channel (for example #psp#etc).

You can save your parameters in a binary encoded file if you want using the Save profiles menu.

You can specify a startup script to be executed just after the connection, e.g. to join channels and set modes automatically (use then JOIN and MODE commands in your startup script). Those scripts should be stored in the run directory.

Connect to the IRC server:

After that, connect to the host you've specified using the Connect menu.

In the console window you can use the virtual keyboard to enter text or IRC commands. All commands are written in file command.txt that can be edited using the built-in editor (Edit Command). You can also use any ASCII-text editor on your PC, and add your own custom commands.

Virtual keyboards:

You can use the Danzeff On-Screen Keyboard (from Danzel and Jeff Chen) as well as IR keyboard. Edit the pspirkeyb.ini file to specify your IR keyboard model, and modify layout keyboard files in the keymap directory.

Settings:

The settings menu let you change colors and some other options. If you want a distinct color for each user in a channel, then activate the Multi color option. You can also prefix all posts by a time stamp.

Save snapshots and log files:

Snapshot are saved to the scr directory in PNG format; you can also save the IRC console window in TXT which can be found in the log directory.
