The EMMP is approaching a usable state! The radio and mp3 states are working well. Playlists have been revamped and are mostly stable now (no save/load support as of yet). Give it a shot and send us some feedback.
The emmp has now migrated its entire codebase to sourceforge. There are currently two modules: emmp and vfdsim. emmp contains the sourcecode for the emmp player itself, the kernel vfd module, and the original vfdsim. vfdsim contains the new vfdsim complete with mouse clickable buttons.
