AnyLanguageStudy v0.1 by Nakano (Genesis Compo entry)
This new entry to the psp genesis competition is a flexible flashcards game, that allows you to learn any language in a fun way. By default, the application ships with a series of Japanese Kanjis (organized by level of difficulty based on the JLPT levels), but you can create your own series of words in any language. Hopefully people will start sharing their own series of words in various languages 🙂

1st comment!!!!!!!
Wow this is totally useless for psp user like me. dude this is not an educational competition, we need super cool homebrews/plugins that would totally make PSP history unforgettable.
The competition is open to everyone, even people who lack humility, so feel free to impress us 🙂
Great, I allways wanted something like Anki on PSP
Great idea, hope it does the job well.
Been learning Japanese for a few years, this might add to my vocabulary.
Nakano… Isn’t the same guy who did PSPEdict? Unfortunately PSPEdict crashes on my PSP, so whatever…
Hi! I didn’t create PSPEdict from scratch like this application; I merely updated PSPEdict. Sorry to hear it crashes for you. It works stable enough with 5.00m33-6. But there are three things I am aware of that may crash PSPEdict:
1) Your custom dictionary is not in a right format (File parser is really demanding. I would have liked to modify it, but parsing logic is complex. When I created AnyLanguageStudy, one of my main goal was to let people to create word lists as easily as possible).
2) You run out of memory.
3) You keep hitting R/L when scrolling kanji images.
Thanks for the reply! Actually I simply installed PSPEdict using the instructions in the readme file, and it always freezes my PSP when it asks me to press X to continue (I’ve tested it on HBL in 6.10, 6.20 TN and 6.35 PRO-B).
????, I’ve installed AnyLanguageStudy, nice application! Although I didn’t like a few things, I’ll be using it once in a while, mainly because I’ll be an undergraduate student in Japan next month.
BTW, this one worked on my PRO-B so no problems here.
If there are any things you think requires change in AnyLanguageStudy and are possible to do, let me know. As for PSPEdict, you could try signing eboot (http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1916).
May I ask where in Japan you’re going to?
Dear nakano..
PSPEdict always crash in my PSP GO. how can I run without crash? I realy nee this dictionary to improve my nihongo.

I tried the signing for you, but the current pscrypter didn’t work with it.
Thanks anyway! Yes, I was just trying to sign it when I saw your post.
If I have any suggestion about AnyLanguageStudy I will try to notify you…
Oh, and I’m going to Osaka.
great program +rep
Very.. very… veeeeeeeeeeeeeryyyyyyyyy GREAT HOMEBREW.
This helps me a lot because I study Japanese by my own (i haven’t an acádemy near 🙁 , but now I have this homebrew!)
Thankss!
Arigato Gozaimasu!
???????????
NOOOOOooooo It doesn’t work on my 6.35 PRO and I don’t want to update to LCFW 6.35 Pro B because there is a light risk of brick (and i’m using a new PSP GO)
🙁
I don’t have 6.35 PRO so I cannot test, but could it be that Intrafont cannot load jpn0.pgf and ltn0.pgf for you? If so, search (index.lua) the lines “ifont = IntraFont.load(” and tell the path.
For example, get pgf-files from somewhere and store these files to the same directory as eboot.pbp. Then write “ifont = IntraFont.load(“ltn0.pgf”, IntraFont.STRING_UTF8);” and “ifont = IntraFont.load(“jpn0.pgf”, IntraFont.STRING_UTF8);”. If this is the reason for not working with you, I can automate this check. However, I cannot distribute pgf files. I can do this check, nevertheless, but would like to know if this is the reason.
Thank you very much for reporting the issue!
This signed eboot might work for you http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C9MTLM2M. If you can confirm it works, I’ll sign next release too. I am planning to release the next version when wololo updates splash screen (I was told it should happen soon).
Ok, i will test it when Megaupload allow me to download the file -.-
I will report with the results
Thanks!
It works signed on 6.35 PRO! Thanks again!
Problem solved ^^
Thank you very much for confirming that. I actually already decided to update the homebrew as I was able to solve a few issues I wanted.

Tested and it works fine 😀
The answers still cutted sometimes if the answer is too long but it is OK
Thanks 😀
I’ve got a suggestion for new versions if you are going to update it a little more.
My suggestion is add a option that, if I activate it, the program don’t skip to the next question, when I select the correct answer, until I have pressed a button.
I think that it can be useful for check and study why or what answer is correct, sometimes if I don’t know the answer I press randomly a button and, if it is correct, I don’t know what button I have pressed (LOL).
Thanks
Hi!
Thanks for all the feedback. I thought that idea too for the exactly same reason, but wasn’t sure if it is needed. I think I still have room for one more option so I might add it. I try to update the homebrew by the end of this month. I am a little busy at the moment (and even more in April), but I try to do this in v0.5.
Fifth release is finished.

Thanks for the new version, I have tested it and it looks fine, I will tell you if I think of more improvements, but I think that this perfect. Thanks again 😀
PD: I pray for japan, I hope that all your family and friends are well and I just hope that finally end up disasters
Your welcome! Yes, I also hope that the situation in Japan gets better. I was planning to visit the country (that’s why the busyness during April), but I had to cancel my flight.
I haven’t even tried this yet and I’m getting pumped already. I had a website I use for things like this, but having it on my PSP will be great.
<3 this competition. Thanks NPT, Psp-hacks and Wololo.
Hi nakano,
I downloaded PSPedict, but it crashes on my PSP Go where it says
X-Continue…
Is there a way to fix this problem? The links you gave didn’t work.
My e-mail is andyphoto888@hotmail.com
Thanks!
It’s a known issue for an unknown reason. Unfortunately PSPEdict only works with M33/GEN as far as I know. If you want to discuss more, come here: http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10868
I have now updated the links with latest version:
* AnyLanguageStudy v3.0 U2 (unsigned): http://www.mediafire.com/?ypdndu23w34092d
* PSPEdict v0.6 (M33/GEN): http://www.mediafire.com/?2d5pww6gvuipgm2
Can you give me a tip, I followed the simple instructions to install anylanguage v3.0 u , though every time I open it, it crashes. I have more than enough space 1.7g’s on my psp. Might you have any suggestions? I quite would like to study Korean and Japanese.
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough
to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance.
I must say you have done a excellent job with this.
Additionally, the blog loads very quick for me on Internet explorer.
Superb Blog!
