iR Shell v3.9 - final public release, AhMan bids farewell |
Ó
Homebrew developer AhMan has released iRshell v3.9. The developer has given word that this is the final public release of the application and that he is retiring from the PSP scene.
The latest version of iRshell is now compatible with firmware v 3.80 M33-2, M33-4, and M33-5. In addition, the application also has support for 3.80 Popsloader version 2. Here's the complete list of new features as taken from the release thread:
- Added support for 3.80M33-2, M33-4 & M33-5. Pls note M33-1 & M33-3 are not supported due to some technical issues which I'm lazy to resolve.
- Added support for 3.80 Popsloader Version 2. Version 1 isn't supported.
- The 1.5 Kernel Addon for 3.71M33 & 3.80M33 has caused some incompatibility issues with fw 1.5 iR Shell. This is now resolved.
- Enhance PSP ISO compatability. Previously failed ISOs will probably work in this release.
- For slim only, the nethostfs MAX mode is now compatible with WPA.
- Some older firmware supports have been removed to reduce the distribution archive. This version has support for fw 1.5, 3.10 to 3.80. Also, directories EXTAPP15 & EXTAPP3X have been combined into a single EXTAPP to save space. Each APP# directory has 2 EBOOTs, with EBOOT.PBP for fw 3.x and EBOOT15.PBP for fw 1.5.
- Launch XMB will now show UMD disc icons, even NoUMD modes are selected.
- Fixed some nethostfs & UMD compatibility issues.
- Fixed the compatibility between Sony NP9660 NoUMD Mode & launching PSOne game via nethostfs.
- Turning off nethostfs sometimes crashed the PSP. This has been fixed.
Thanks to Hatter and F34R for the hot tip!

Last IRshell?! My favorite homebrew. Nooooo!
I tried to download it and all I get is a picture of IRShell
The download link goes to a screenshot. It's on irshell.org for anyone who has no idea where to get it.
You can get it from AhMan's forums at irshell.org, QJ screwed up the link on their download page.
sorry bout that. these bugs are just so hard to squash. anyhoo... problem fixed! thanks for pointing it out guys!
for all the hard work! Will download it as soon as i get home. I hope the IRShell project continues in the future. Probably the best homebrew app out there.
can somebody kinda list up the major feautures of irshell? i once installed it but it had nothing to stick to.

There will not be any releases after this one unless AhMan comes out of retirement and He is not releasing the source codes.
irshell.org is not ran by AhMan. It was created by beta tester F34r as a tech support site for the end user and general chitchat :)
I'm pretty sure he meant features in general, since "somebody" says he used it before but had nothing to stick to,
For all concerned.. The blogger replied above that the link in this article is now fixed.
In the downloaded package you will find a FAQ sheet and User Guide in PDF format. You'll find everything you need to know in there.
help how the h* do i use this thing i am use 3.80 m33 5 with 1.5 add on
my bad for the spelling mistake i do not know how to use irspell and i dont feel like realing can someone plz help me
If you don't feel like reading then don't bother with PSP homebrew, you'll just end up bricking your PSP. :P There is a guide PDF that comes with it. Just read it.
I was always under the impression that AhMan owned the site. Thanks for the info.
I for the life of me cannot get USBHOSTfs to work correctly. I am running under 3.80 M33-5, 1.5 kernal installed as well, running 3.9 version of irShell, and have patched it. Installed new USBHOSTfs on my computer. I can link the PSP and comp, see the files I am attempting to run (backup isos) but everytime I try to launch I get an error. Am I missing something?
ipsp and psptube dont work for me, i have 3.80 m33 5 with 1.5 add on =(
does this version work with psp slim?
QJ forgot to put the donation link in the post so here you go. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=ahmanhk@hotmail.com
Ahman can't leave the scene now, it's too soon.. Will anyone be able to update IRShell for future CFWs or are we screwed? We will miss you, either way..
can someone give me specific instruction on how to use this program for the PSP please i beg of you. =)
I see the isos using usbhostfs and nethostfs, read the instructions, but still can't launch the games.
You would be all setup by now had you not been lazy and read up for yourself. I'll give you a hint. The instructions for installation are all on one page and are easy to follow.
Let's hope his retirement is the same kind of retirement that Dark Alex does (i.e. a fake retirement :P). Anyhow, I hope your social security pension plan pays you well!
plz man i cant read it right now i have homework and alot
Not quite sure what the point of this has been, i'm glad he's done wasting his time with it. What is the point of using something that is another step past the XMB? It's not that pretty even, why not just use the XMB unless you want to use a homebrew app to make your PSP look homebrewy.. YAY!
is he 60 already?
can someone give me specific instruction on how to use this program for PSP(PLAY STATION PORTABLE)
Whenever I try to launch a cso or iso off memorystick, usbhostfs, nethostfs it always launches the umd instead
...cuz it don't work no more...
It's not supposed to be pretty. It's supposed to be functional and memory-light. As for that last worthless comment, you obviously have no idea what iR Shell can do.
Read the excellent user guide that StoneCut spent lots of time writing (it's in the irshell 3.9 .zip).
RTFM and apply the iR Shell firmware patch.
No. If you can't be bothered to read anything, I can't be bothered to help you.
Is nethostfs.exe bundled with the download? cause i can't find it. If not can somebody tell me where to get it?
http://irshell.org/wikishell/index.php/Downloads
What is nethostfs? I have used IR Shell before but I have never known what this is.
As u can see the homebrew scene is now near dead +[ it was good while it lasted with the constant exploits but now the psp is becoming maxed out on what it can do...iR Shell helped the psp to be all it could be and as proof that the psp scene is now dead is the lack of jumps this recieved even though it is the last one +[ Hopefully Some other company will come out with a mor epowerful exploitable handheld...Microsoft would be nice eh? I still remember those summer days laying in bed with my 2.71 psp playing my crappy flash homebrew waiting for an exploit and then BAM a POC invented then some little games come through then a downgrader Long Live emus,isos,and homebrew xP
Man i love you ahman and all but i wish you wouldnt retire. I respect your decision and everything. i hope you enjoy retirement and may you be prosperous in all your future ventures. God speed.
Finally...i love this so much that i have it set for autoboot..good work
Thank you for your hardwork. Your app has, and will remain at the top of my Game list forever. Your work is very much appreciated on the scene, and I'm sure alot more would if they had a clue. Thank you again.
Sad to see him go, Now im gona have to think hard before updating t newer Firmwares when then arrive. i like IR Shells and now that he is gone im afraid to ever update again :(
also thanks to hatter and evil vin
I have the same setup, but when I connect my PSP to my NSLU2 using USB, it works, so it's probably PC related, I tried updating my USBHOSTFS files but still no luck. Anyways, in my case, it proves that its not the PSP but XP. Good luck.
You have the time to sit here and type messages, while complaining that you have no time to read a quick installation guide? Just read the PDF and save yourself the trouble. It'll take much less time then typing up comments.
You people should know better than to jump to conclusions by thinking hes LEAVING PERMINENTLY! All homebrew creators leave and then come back, thats what there definition of RETIREMENT means, so if theres a new firmware that comes out, Ahman will just make another IRSHELL that works on that firmware. Oh yeah by the way, if Microsoft really brought out a handheld, you really think it would be exploitable, be able to use homebrew and anything on it, NO they will be worse than Sony with it. You have seen the Xbox 360 and how hard it is to EXPLOIT IT and if you do exploit it, they ban you off Xbox live perminently, oh yeah online gaming on a handheld made by them, they would force you to pay 50 bucks to play online, not free like PSP and DS. Oh yeah and then the downloadable content stuff will be on it to for 30 bucks for such and such. It will just drain you of all money with online and such like they did with the Xbox 360. Just admitting the facts that if they did make a handheld, you would have to pay to play online and it would be hard to crack because you would be banned. Microsoft is a powerful company but also drains people of there money. Plus you shouldnt count Sony out just yet, they are creating a PSP2. This is not a flame, I am just admitting the facts that if Microsoft brought out a handheld, it will be just the same as the Xbox 360 but in the form of a smaller device.
i cant get n e of my .cso and .iso files to work through it it only launches my umd
RTFM and install the EFFING PATCH!
When I connected my PSP to my NSLU2 it worked, when I installed the USBHOSTFS drivers on another PC,(Type B stuff) it worked, but when I use my regular PC, it would either give me an application error or run the UMD and not the ISO. So the solution to the problem of people not being able to launch ISO/CSO is not a setting with IR Shell or applying the patch, you may be having the same problem as I am having, with your XP box.
Anything is hackable or exploitable, you just need enough time. Pretty sure even microsoft wouldn't charge for handheld internet, and downloadable content always costs money. Plus i rlly dont see a downside to a 360 handheld. If they could make a handheld perform that good we'd all be orgasming for hours. Who wouldn't want to play halo3 or assassins creed on a handheld?
how do u work 1.5 its hard to do it
Read it.
i dont like this thing because i cant use FLASH0
Try PSPFiler 4.6. It allows for F0/1 access and modification, as well as MS. I use it all the time. http://dl.qj.net/PSP-Filer-v4.6-PSP-Homebrew-Applications/pg/12/fid/15554/catid/190
The 3XX kernel version of the iRShell EBOOT does. It's included with the entire iRShell pack.
I dont have cfw yet as pandora will not format memory stick. Waiting for 3.90 m33 to switch from official as i have 3.80. Sucks cause it prob. wont work with IR Shell. STAY LONGER AHMAN! < worthless atempt
Irshell 3.9 does not work in 3.90 M33 under 3.90 kernel in /GAME/. I haven't tried using 1.5. Goodbye my favorite homebrew. :(
