Short answer: No. Longer answer: As I'm sure you are aware, the Delphi compiler is closed source and compiles Windows/x86 binaries only. I believe the GNU Pascal Compiler can output MIPS binaries but as the pspSDK (unoff.) is for C, you will have to do plenty of hard work yourself. If you have been ...

looking good!
Can't wait for more features and a nice GUI.

There is a small problem listing files. I can't quite figure out for sure what though.
1.mp3 = not listed
aaa.mp3 = not listed
Aaa.mp3 = listed OK

Files with either spaces or capital letters seem to list.

Anyway, good work guys!

1. Install ATRAC3 codec. http://pdc.me.uk/psp/atrac3.zip 2. Download and intall Sonic Foundry (now Sony) Sound Forge. I believe the demo is fully-functional for 30 days. 3. Open your WAV/MP3/etc in Sound Forge. 4. File->Save As... 5. Choose WAV then Custom. 6. Select ATRAC3. 7. Save onto PSP 8. Dance.

They are PMF files for Ridge Racers.

If you attempt to play them as a Savegame/PBP preview then they are automatically resized.

There is a filesize limit on the preview videos though so they need to be cropped <500KB or so.

AT3 can be either ATRAC3 or ATRAC3+. ATRAC3 is just a plain old audio format and ATRAC3+ is a DRM jobbie. The ATRAC3+ codecs are not publically available, so Sonic Stage is your only hope. If you are desparate, you can install the ATRAC3 codec ( http://www.minidisc.org/atrac3.zip ) and write a stand...

My 1.5 JPN PSP sometimes doesn't detect corrupted mp3s until I play them.

Perhaps it is an anomaly in the encoding.
