Hey everyone.

If you're getting errors about TinyXML not loading or can't locate icon files, this is due to the file structure of where pspWeather is located. If you're using Dark Alex's custom firmware, set your game folder homebrew to use the 1.5 kernel. Then make sure the pspWeather folders are located at GAME/PSP/pspWeather and GAME/PSP/pspWeather%. Placing pspWeather in GAME150 folder is causing people issues, which I hope to address in the next version.

If you're having trouble using http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where= try going to www.weather.com and searching through the front page. For example if I type "Ottawa, Canada" I will see this and then click on the corresponding link. After you're on your weather page, look at the URL and you can pick out the location code from there. For this example it shows http://www.weather.com/.../local/CAXX0343?from=search_city, so the location code you want to use is CAXX0343.

To add a location code to the configuration file open the configuration file with any text editor. Look at the locationCodes section:

<locationCodes>
<code units="s">PUT YOUR CODE HERE</code>
<code units="s">USCA0777</code>
<code units="s">USTX0057</code>
<code units="s">USNY0996</code>
<code units="m">USFL0316</code>
<code units="m">ITXX0067</code>
</locationCodes>

You can remove any of the other location codes if you don't want them, or add your own.
Also units="s" means standard units (F, mi, etc) and units="m" is metric units (C, km, etc).

Also I do realize that I forgot to include what units you get your weather in when using the basic on screen keyboard in pspWeather. I'll fix this for the next version.
