Christmas is here with iR Shell v3.1

iR Shell

Appearances can be deceiving. And even though AhMan's status is ticked as "Retired PSP Developer," you must know that that can't entirely be true. Especially since he's just fueled up the homebrew scene once again with yet another public release of his latest version for iR Shell.

Now pegged at iR Shell v3.1, there's been some bug fixes and a whole slew of enhancements to the said shell program. Let's cut the chase, here's the list of new features and tweaks:

Universal Infra-Red Remote is now working under firmware 2.71 mode of iR Shell.
Support direct launching of Devhook 0.51.
Enhance nethostfs & UMD compatibility which will allow WiFi keypad redirection to work with almost all UMD games that are supported by firmware 2.71. This should bring the compatibility of nethostfs to about the same level as usbhostfs. Please note the nethostfs is only enhanced under firmware 2.71 mode, nethostfs under firmware 1.5 is unchanged.
Plugin suffix extension has been changed from 3 characters to 1-4 characters.
Bundled a HTML Viewer plugin by Dark_AleX which means you can open HTML documents (suffix as HTML or HTM) directly from iR Shell file browser.
Bundled an updated ISO plugin by StoneCut which has Devhook launching capability built-in. This is for use with legally owned backups only.
Bug fix: When running iR Shell under firmware 1.5 mode of Dark_AleX 2.71 SEC, if you exit iR Shell when "Allow Adhoc PC Connection for Homebrew" is enabled, your PSP will crash.
Bug fix: The "Free Space" under directory view can't display anything larger than 2GB.
Bug fix: Can't choose plugin # larger than 10 under iR Shell Configurator.

For those who are asking, here's a note from AhMan himself: iR Shell 3.1 supports firmware 1.5, 2.71 with HenD, Dark_Alex's 2.71 SEC, devhook firmware 1.5/2.71 emulation.

Nice... Cant wait to try this :)

--------------------------------------

PSP: 2.80 TA-082

I'm now waiting to downgrade my psp...

Hope santa grants my wish and all those in the same boat...

Here's a list of what I wanna do...Best for TA-082?

1)Downgrade to 2.71 TA-082(Hoping it happens)

2)Install HEN-D

3)Install Devhook

4)Install Ir-Shell

Future correct thing to do for a TA-082 psp?

Did I miss out anything?

Future TA-082 3.02 OE?

# nice — Sp4x 2006-12-22 05:04

me love IrShell, use it instead of the psp xmb, 1.50 D-A costum firmware and irshell autoboot

# lol — Guest 2006-12-22 05:06

thats a long Christmas list. I doubt that it will happen this Christmas but its something to look for for next Christmas.

BTW THANKS FOR THE NEW IR SHELL

# . — Guest 2006-12-22 06:53

Too bad I just *****ing upgraded to 3.02 OE-A

# hmm — Guest 2006-12-22 07:07

irshell 3 loads for me. usbhost works. but its plugins dont. everything else seems to work though.. gonna try this now

# 3.02 oe-a — Guest 2006-12-22 07:15

This work on 3.02 oea?

# blablabla — Guest 2006-12-22 07:47

Can't you read?

"For those who are asking, here's a note from AhMan himself: iR Shell 3.1 supports firmware 1.5, 2.71 with HenD, Dark_Alex's 2.71 SEC, devhook firmware 1.5/2.71 emulation."

# 2 versions — Guest 2006-12-22 07:53

there's 2 versions of irshell. one for 1.5 kernel and one for 2.71. both versions work with 2.71 SEC but only 1.5 works with 3.02 OEA.

so if you upgraded you lost the 2.71 features:

-No PMP and LUA plugins (it has PMP-AVC however)

-No Infrared Remote Control

-No Adhoc NetHostFS

-ISO plugin for Dark_Alex 2.71 SE-C (by StoneCut)

-Launch XMB will launches FW 2.71 XMB which allows MP4 & AVC playback host redirection

-iR Shell MP3 Player will still be available after launching XMB. You can use both iR Shell MP3 player & XMB Music player simultaneously.

-Launch DevHook can use 271F folder for flash emulation

# OE — Guest 2006-12-22 07:59

I tested this on 3.02 OE about an hour ago

it does NOT work on it.

The 1.50 version still works, but htat uses 1.50 kernel :(.

We have to wait for a bugfix for 3.02 oe.

I hope he can do it soon

# akb — Guest 2006-12-22 07:59

in the readme of the 3.02 oe-a firmware, it said that irshell and psplink can be easily ported by there authors to work in the OE-a.

is this false now or what?

# ah — Guest 2006-12-22 08:08

guess we're gonna have to wait for OE edition then

# 3.02 OE-A — Guest 2006-12-22 11:46

I agree.

Even tho I did now I where goeing to loose these features when I upgraded.

Blame Sony.

Always the easiest.

# HEy — Guest 2006-12-22 12:01

# Pray — Guest 2006-12-22 12:10

You better prey that someone makes a downgrader. At the moment you can't download and play homebrew games/apps.

# nethost? — Guest 2006-12-22 16:15

hey how can i make nethost work? i really wanna run isos with nethost. some1 plz!

# @Anonamous — Guest 2006-12-22 18:33

iR SHell for 1.5 has all these things you just mentioned. This was basiclly what the 3.1 upgrade was for :,

-No PMP and LUA plugins (it has PMP-AVC however)

-No Infrared Remote Control

-No Adhoc NetHostFS(not sure bout this one?)

-ISO plugin for Dark_Alex 2.71 SE-C (by StoneCut)

# Still necessary? — Guest 2006-12-23 04:44

I'm struggling to understand why one with 3.02OE would still want iR Shell... unless they really hated the XMB interface.

Just put this on autoboot on my OE PSP, realised that apart from playing mp3s whilst playing games (it CAN do that, right?) it has pretty much no use to me and is less slick than the XMB.

I'm not ragging on the software, I'm sure it's pretty useful if you have 1.5/SEs, but now OE users have no need for Devhook, is this product now just a skin with nethost and PMP playback built in?

And nethost, can I use that to access my PC from a remote access point? Because if not, I'm not getting its use...

Sorry if this post was overly critical, just that there's so many PSP apps that are nigh on pointless, and I'd like someone to explain to me why this shell isn't. I mean, no one actually uses their PSP as a remote control, do they? Find me this person so I can hit them, with a real remote control.

# Infared remote=Cool — Guest 2006-12-23 07:59

I'd use my psp as an infared remote just the pointless fun of it and to impress my mates.

(Please dont come and hit me)

# Gay — Guest 2006-12-23 11:50

I hate this, f*ck AhMan, I wish he would have stayed retired...F*ck this $hit...I hope AhMan dies!

# he's like Tupac — Guest 2006-12-23 15:33

AhMan you're like TuPac your retired and still turnin out the stuff

# 3.02 OE + 3.1 iR Shell — Guest 2006-12-26 06:52

Everything works fine for me with 3.02 OE-B and iR Shell 3.1...

I just had to fix the irsmp3.prx with that from the dl archive at qj.net and disable the capture.prx in VSH

# 3.02 OE-B + iR Shell 3.1 — Guest 2006-12-31 01:58

what folder did you put the 2.71 version of iR Shell in? Cause I have mine in GAME271 and it doesn't work.

# help? — Guest 2006-12-31 09:02

"Everything works fine for me with 3.02 OE-B and iR Shell 3.1...

# Everything? No, not everything! — Guest 2007-01-08 15:24

No nethostfs, one of the best features, which allows me to stream music,photos and video from my Asus WL-HDD, does not work.
