Open Handhelds Browser
this program is meant to be used on the Caanoo Handheld, it browses the Open Handhelds archive for the Caanoo (www.openhandhelds.org) - at least in its current form - using simple heuristics and can install apps directly from the caanoo but only if:
1) the archive file is in a zip, rar or tar.gz file
2) the archive contains precisely 1 .ini file with a matching directory
3) the file is not too big
any additional libraries contained in the archive will not be recognized.
Note that this program will write on the SD card, as such it can potentially ruin things badly (it has some basic sanity checks, though), in other words:
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
it needs the python+pygame+albow package
(http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/caanoo.cgi?0,0,0,0,19,774 )
Start up the network (wifi or usb) before starting.
v2: added rar and tar.gz support and added fixes to remedy somewhat crashes that occur when doing multiple things simultaneously
v3: improved responsiveness. ignores ini files in deeper levels. recent and popular menu.
v4: (limited) 7z support, overwrite option, screenshot preview, fix of issue with games that do no show up in menu, cancellable install
