iR Shell v3.8 - Image 1

Unlocking your Sony PlayStation Portable's fullest potential through leaps and bounds is what the PSP homebrew community does best, and developer AhMan comes forth to spearhead the revolution with the latest version of his legendary application, iR Shell v3.8. Now sporting a new look, PSP Slim & Lite support, as well as a host of other useful upgrades, this little piece of homebrew should easily prove its worth as a keeper on your handheld's memory stick.

Let's look at the changelog and see what's new from the previous version:

Supports the latest M33 firmwares across both Phat & Slim. Slim users can choose among 3.60M33, 3.71M33-1 to 3.71M33-3.
PSOne 2-Player Adhoc Support.
Introduces a new Context Menu System. Functions (plugins) under context menu will always be available to all file types, similar to the right mouse menu click under Windows.
Added a new Multi-tasking PRX Plugin System. This allows user written PRX Plugins for iR Shell to multi-task with another game/app. The included PRX HTML/Text Viewer developed by korDen allows you to view HTML & Text documents while playing games or homebrews..
With the help from Dark_AleX, support to M33 & NP9660 No UMD Modes have been added. NetHostFS & UsbHostFS are also available for the No UMD modes.
Added support to the latest Popsloader for 3.71M33-3 by Dark_AleX.
Allow random start of MP3 for the alarm clock function, so you'll be greeted with different tunes each morning.
Added the options to put your PSP to auto-sleep while idle to save battery.
Allows you to press Hot-Key to turn off/on all LEDs. The annoying memory stick or WiFi LEDs will no longer distract you from watching your favorite video/movie.
Support TV-Out for Slim via component cable.
Added the display of volume bar for PSP main volume in iR Shell.
plus numerous bug fixes.

A few key details about this version: all the features of iR Shell v3.8 you'll be able to use on the original Sony PlayStation Portable will also be usable on the Slim & Lite model, with the exception of Infra-Red remote. This new version also marks the beginning of AhMan's sabbatical from the homebrew scene - but he does note that if there are any critical bugs with this version, he will try to fix them up before release.

Holy ***** Tits

# ... — TheLastGuitarHero 2007-11-21 18:14

Holy ***** tits is right.

# Link cable? — billylee8 2007-11-21 18:33

Does the 2-player support include link-cable only games like Wipeout XL?

# A bit of a problem — DCJoeDog 2007-11-21 20:44

nethost ISO/CSO game launching is effectively dead for me, and it was working in the last release I had. So, just a heads up.

# WOW!!! — yungglock 2007-11-22 02:37

WOW I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR A WHILE!!!!

YES ..... MAA MANN!!!!!!

# oh yeah irshell goodness — weapon33 2007-11-22 02:40

heck yeah, this is one full featured release, lots of stuff ahmans been working on for a while now, including slim support, popsloader, prx plugin text reader so u can read faqs while playing games, 2 player ad hoc pops is a little touchy mind you, but its still awesome.

and remember if you use irshell regularly and would like to see it get even better, please donate to ahman and the irshell project.

first time user? dont ask questions here, read stonecut's guide.

# Wow! Its about time for the Slim! — greymist04 2007-11-22 04:03

I just recently got 3.71m33-3 on my Slim and have found that my favorite homebrew IR shell was not compatible with it. I see that v3.8 has Slim support that makes em so happy! One question though, how do I install this on the Slim?

polly want a cracker. Caww!!!

Update to the latest Patch included with iR Shell and enjoy full compatibility again.

# I hope this works on 3.52-4m33 — ExtraLife 2007-11-22 05:35

There is no reason for me to upgrade further =/

# Bug — EXTER 2007-11-22 06:53

The music player won't play any MP3 until I restart irShell.

# Slim Version — greymist04 2007-11-22 07:08

How do I install this on a PSP Slim running 3.71m33-3?

# holy crap — ro0kie42 2007-11-22 07:24

holy crap

# What? — greymist04 2007-11-22 08:35

I really want to run this, I just dont know how to install it on the Slim.

# Manhunt 2 — Nine_Masquerade 2007-11-22 12:24

I try running Manhunt 2 hacked version in .cso extension and it doesn't boot- just black. I don't think it matters what extension it is or whether its the modded version, so I think that might be a heads up for a bug fix. If anyone knows what i could be doing wrong please let me know. I was really looking forward to blowing people's heads off while listening to grindcore :)

# Just wondering... — Nine_Masquerade 2007-11-23 06:28

When I try playing games like Crash team racing and Twisted Metal III with my brother, the games go out of sync (ie I'll be driving into a wall on his psp but on mine ill be on track) I think it is because the psps are running the game seperately and are only sharing the button input. Maybe there is a way irshell could feed the screens to each other so we are seeing the same thing. But until then, we'll just look on one psp. Its still an amazing accomplishment and one hell of an app. Great Work.

Oh, what are some games that don't have this problem. I really want to play perfect 2 player games in sync.
