Better menu system, lots more menu items.
- Away / Back
- Remove Account
- Reconnect to Wifi (No more quitting AFKIM to reconnect! yay)
- Get Buddy Details
- Rename Buddy
- Block/Unblock Buddy
- Delete Buddy
Fixes related to pressing buttons, menus now continue scrolling if you hold up or down.
Better connection handling.
Many many code cleanups

Quit option.
Ability to use start as well as X to go buddy select -> chat.

how can i install this on my psp i have FW 3.10 OE A'

Just like any homebrew.. make an "afkim" folder in the GAME folder on your memory stick, then transfer over the files from the archive.

mm.. WPA connection?

if so try putting it in

ms0:/PSP/GAME310

In order for WPA connections to work it must be ran from the 3.10 kernel

ah ok, sounds like a router issue then..

try forwarding port 5190 (I believe thats the AIM port), disable any hardware firewalls etc.. or try without WEP just to see if it works. Thats all I can really think of atm

different problem

ok I tried running it from GAME and GAME340 folders and I got a "Resolving... Failed to resolve" message then it froze my PSP. does that everytime and I have to hard reset. any suggestions?

edit: I think it's because I'm connecting from a static IP address on my PSP. not sure tho.

Works fine on 3.40 OE-A.
Only DHCP with WPA works.
With static IP doesn't work by me.

I hope the next Version works with static IP then i happy.

edit:

Can i edit the port?
What for a port use AFKIM3?
When AFKIM3 use 5190 can i edit this?

well from what I know 5190 is the standard AIM port. dunno if AIM will allow you to connect on other ports. nothing in the readme talks about the editing of the port.

Vader: well I don't know which OE version you are running. but if it's 3.40 OE then you have to make sure you placed the program in the GAME340 folder.
