LUA TextReader is a text reading/viewing program, made in Lua for PSP.

There's no text wrapping, and the UNIX/PC text mode switch is not perfect.

Installation

Requires Lua 0.7b4 or above to run this program.

Copy the folder to the APPLICATIONS folder inside the LUA Player folder.

Both browser.lua and index.lua must be in the same directory.

User guide

It opens files that's named *.txt, *.lua, *.c, *.cpp, *.html and *.htm. Anything else can also be opened if you switch to open all files mode.

Be careful when using all files mode though, there's no checks to differ between text files and other types of files.

You can play module music when reading. Just press square when you got a text file open and select a module file. Default files are *.mod, *.xm and *.it.

Default music directory is /PSP/MUSIC/. You can also switch to all files mode here. To end music playback, press square when reading and then start.
