PSP Tool 1.00




Here's a neat homebrew for you guys. raing3's PSP Tool. This homebrew was first made to just extract the ipl from the memory stick, but has since grown into multi-purpose diagnostic tool. 

Here's a list of the changes and bugfixes in this new release of PSP tool :

Added: Detection of HEN version under System Information (thanks to Davee).

Added: Detection of TA-088v3, TA-090 and TA-090v2 motherboards under  System Information.

Fixed: Made a change to improve the reliability of extracting an IPL using the first option.

Fixed: If the original PSP firmware version cannot be retrieved “N/A” will be shown instead of nothing.

Fixed: Crash if circle is enter.

Fixed: The battery menu can no longer be accessed if the PSP does not support reading/writting to the battery EEPROM.

Other: Changed the wave style used.

Other: Decreased RAM usage by a massive ~2MB.

Enjoy!

Homebrew Sorter Plugin v0.5

Developer L041ing has just cooked up a neat little plugin that sorts homebrew according to the frequency of execution. This simply means that the homebrew that is executed the most number of times will be position on the top of the list and the second most executed brew' below it and so on. This will be an extremely useful plugin for those who really have a good deal of homebrew on their memory sticks, like me for example. No more "pain in the ass" scrolling anymore. YES!!

Anyways, have a good one! :D

Clickr v1.0



Here's a neat brew' developed by ktix007. The aim of the game is simple. Just count the amount of cars that speed past you. Simple eh? You'll have to count them right. If you get the right number at the end of the level, you advance to the next level. Else, you'll have to restart the level back again. Here's what the developer had to say :


In this version, the first one, there are 5 levels but I'll make more levels in the next version. I've made 3 different versions of the game, as always, one in English, another one Catalan and another one in Spanish. 

Controls:

R - Count one
L - Substract one
SELECT - Pause the game
TRIANGLE - Go back to the main menu

Have a good time playing this!

Power PRX

Developer alex_e has just released a simple yet cool plugin which he calls Power PRX. This plugin allows users to switch off or put their psp in standby mode without having to swipe the on/off toggle. All you need to do is to press L + Triangle to turn your unit off, and L + Cross to set it to standby mode. This may not seem too useful, but think again, this would definitely be much cooler than using the on switch, right? Give it a shot yo!

PSN License Manager 0.22

Here's a small tweak for the PSN Store that is developed by Light_AleX. Yes, Light, not Dark_AleX. I know, my heart was pumping hard the first time I saw that name as well. Anyways, back to the PSN License Manager. This tweak is capable of doing the following, as stated by the developer himself :


Capabilities :

Backup your PSN license. 
Restore your PSN license. 
Delete the backup license on the memory stick. 
Toggle USB Mass Storage. 
Up to 30 PSP support. 

Licenses can only be used on ONE PSP so don't think this is a piracy helper.

TESTED ON 5.00M33-6
LEDA Installed.
For PSP-100X and 200X, 1.50 kernel installation is fine too.

Custom flashed themes may interfere with this program as it loads resources from flash. Please use CTF themes or uninstall your Flashed themes.

Please read readme before installing and use at your own risk.
Information of each function is not in the main program anymore so you MUST read the readme before using the program.

This release of this tweak will definitely be a joy factor for PSN users, so if you're one, enjoy!

IrShell Patch - btcnfpatch.prx for CFWenablers 5.03 on PSP 2000 and 3000



CFE Enabler users, rejoice! PSP developer bosshunter has just worked on a patch for IrShell allowing users to now run iso's and psx titles in IrShell. This patch also improves the stability of IrShell, and makes it a much better shell to play with.

Here's what the developer left as a reminder on how to utilize this patch :

Make sure you have:

- IrShell 5.0 installed.
- A fresh install of CFWe (if you have done my other tutorial, you'll have to reinstall CFWe to run this utility).
- Plugins in game.txt are disabled (If not you'll probably get a black screen when running the prx. Just do a hard reset if this happens. Then enable ChickHen, run CFWe and try the patch again after disabling the game.txt plugins. Kinda looks like a pain but.. You only need to run this once!).
- Replace the provided IRSHELL folder in your memory stick.


Instructions: (same as the old IrShell patches)
- Run IrShell
- Open Directory View and go to ms0:/IRSHELL/PATCH/5.03/
- Run btcnfpatch.prx
- Press X to start patching
- Wait a few seconds and you're done (you should see the following screenshot on your PSP if the update is successful).
- You can now re-enable your plugins in game.txt.



Have a good one!

Homebrew Shortcuts Plugin [BETA 1]

PSP developer junkfactory has just cooked up a nifty plugin which he calls "Homebrew Shortcuts Plugin". What's the point of this? Well, you can use this plugin to boot a homebrew, iso or anything else just by using button combo's of your choice. Configuring the button combination isn't hard at all, as everything is explained in detail in the readme. With this, you can boot your favourite homebrews and games with ease without having to go through the hassle of XMB scrolling. Have fun with this one!
