iRShell rushes back to the scene with version 3.0 |
Ó
All of us mourned the news about Ahman stopping development of iRShell. But then, just a little less than a month ago, we discovered that Ahman was still at work improving iRShell to make it even better than it was currently. And personally, I expected nothing less than a knocks-your-socks-off release. The day has come when we can finally lay our hands on the best PSP shell ever released.
And are we impressed? Well, that would be a huge understatement to say the least! Ahman has made the best PSP shell even better, in the only way he can - dumping a truckload of features, and making all of them work great in tandem. Obviously, I haven't had a chance to check out all of the features in there, but just for convenience sake, I'll list them from his documentation:
New Features:
- Added "Mute Game Audio" funtion via R-Trigger+Circle or last menu item. This will bring up an Audio Channel Menu which allows you to mute each individual channel. Example, you can mute the in-game music and leave the sound effect. Pls also note the iR Shell MP3 Player is indicated as "MP3 Player" in the menu and can't be muted.
- Modify the change CPU settings, so that it won't cause system hangup even if a game is running in the background. When you change the CPU speed and a game is in the background, you will see the screen flashes which is normally. Pls also note that the change of CPU speed under devhook environment has been removed, which means you can't change CPU speed within iR Shell when running devhook.
- Allow redirection of PSP keypad to PC Keyboard or PC Joystick via USB or WiFi (usbhostfs or nethostfs). You can, for example, use a Xbox/Xbox360 gamepad with 2 analog sticks to control movement and aim in a FPS, like Syphon Filter. You can choose "Redirect Keypad to Host" via usbhost0, nethost0, both, or No Redirection under iR Configurator.
- Allow pmf movie as splash screen. Use iR Configurator to choose startup splash type, including bitmap file, pmf movie or no splash. The included skins do not include any pmf movies, you'll have to download them separately. The PMF player has been enhanced to support movie clips with resolution lower than 480x272.
- You can now launch 2.71 XMB from iR Shell under firmware 2.71 (Real 2.71, devhook 2.71 or 2.71 mode of SEB"). With host redirection, you can view host video using 2.71 XMB video player, mp4 & avc are all supported. Photo & music redirection won't work. You can also use the built-in iR Shell MP3 player after launching XMB.
- Updated the launch XMB function, so you can leave the game disc in the UMD drive when launching XMB. It will now detect your disc type. If you've a UMD Video disc, it will launch the movie automatically. If it's a UMD Game disc, it will skip the auto-launch and just goes to XMB.
- Allow the use of the 4th brightness setting (maximum) on the LCD. Normally, you can only set the 4th brightness when connected to a power adapter. This version allows you to activate the 4th brightness anytime by pressing "Left Trigger + Brightness". The setting will also carry over to Devhook firmware emulation when iR Shell is active. To return to normal brightness, press "Brightness" button.
- When installing skins, iR Shell will also install "splash.pmf", "logo.bmp" & HELP image files from the skin directory. A default set from /IRSHELL/SYSTEM will be used if any of these are missing in the skin. The logo.bmp is now unprotected, so you can use any 480x272 bitmap file as splash screen. You can skip Help file installation via iR Configurator option "Skip Help Files Installation", this may be useful if you've customised language specific Help files and don't want to be overwritten.
- Changed the maximum number of plugins from 10 to 20.
- Changed the maximum mp3 playlist size from 10 to 30.
- Changed the maximum highlighted files from 10 to 30 for File Manipulation
- Added firmware version indicator icons provided by StoneCut.
- 1.5 - Running under firmware 1.5 (both virgin 1.5 or 1.5 mode of SEB)
- 2.71 - Running under firmware 2.71 (both virgin 2.71 or 2.71 mode of SEB)
- MS - Devhook emulation using Memory stick firmware
- NAND - Devhook emulation using NAND firmware
- Pmf Player (PMF)
- Bookr 0.71 (TXT & PDF)
- PMPMOD AVC 1.02 (AVC)
- Atrac3 Player (AT3)
- ZIP & RAR Unarchiver (ZIP & RAR)
- Fix the bug in unable to press Triangle under APP view if "Hide RDF Sub-directory" is on.
- Fix the bug in unable to goto RDF View from icon menu if "Hide RDF View" is on.
- Fix a serious bug which will crash your PSP if initial view is set to APP View.
For the full changelog and instructions, please make sure to check out his guides in the zip file. The guide, by the way, is nothing less than a multi-page PDF file detailing each and every feature or iRShell v3.

1st kiss my ass bi-tchs
FIRST POST
AhMan has done a lot of hard work, please remember to thank him!
Best regards!
which skin is that?
holy fawk. Im impressed. this is the xmbc of the psp lol.
Like a Homebrew God Ahman again is on top!!!!!!!!!
10x Ahman 10x for your creativity!!!
yea! way to go =)
praise be to god ive got it before my mate at college
..oh yeah thanks ahman its nice
I never heard about this app before. Messed around with the screen capture, browsed through a few of my UMDs' videos, and taken about 60 captures so far, mostly from Ridge Racer. Have yet to try what else is in here.
Thanks Ahman. You just saved me from upgrading to 2.80.
that's all well and good, but until he get's over himself and gives people the one feature they want, iso's over wifi, it's all just a ton features most of us will never use or care to use
Try to iRShell Package Generator mentioned in the version history. It fricking rocks!
I think the link is: http://www.pspbrew.com/?page=packs/generator&packId=2
thanks ahman!
You have not really tried this version have you???
Hi, i've got all the necessary prx for using the wifi feature, i added the pc's ip, port an password setting tothe config, buuut i doesn't work 4 me. Everytime i klick on the globeicon the whole app freeze :-@
using 1.50
So does this work on SE-C?
no, I haven't tried it yet, I have the 2.71se-B'' rebuild tho, and like I said, it has lots of nice features but until the, in my book, ultimate requested feature is brought, it's just a cool thing to play with
let me ask you this, does it have iso's over wifi?
With more information I'm sure we can help you... You are ofcourse running the nethost fs from www.irshell.com ?
I'm using 1.5 PSP and the nethost i downloaded via link above
SETTINGS:
(btw:router-ip 192.168.2.1)
1.) i startet with this command:
nethostfs -p 7513 -l mypass -r /cygdrive
2.) irshell settings are
NetHost IP/Name (AP): 192.168.2.32
NetHost IP (Adhoc): 192.168.2.32
NetHost Port: 7513
NetHost Password: mypass.
3.) created a connection called "Adhoc irshell" with a static IP and the correct wlan settings of course.
When i click on the nethost icon(s) i get an "connection error" then the app freezes and my psp resets after few seconds.
maybe i did a noobish wrong setting or sth :-P i dunno
The above is a list of dead people.
--------------------------------------------------------
OMG FIRST POST!
I wish i didn't have 2.80 (Shut up it came like that when i bought it from store) BUt i do wish i could use this awesome app. MY friend has this
Same question for me aswell, or if not totally compatible what does not work?
Yes it does
sounds brilliant - this was the best app on the psp - can't wait to get back from work to test what sounds like the new best app.
great work
Well, looks like QJ decided to edit everything out about the Generator I made, but here it is. With it you can get bonus SKins complete with PMF boot movies, RDFS, and a lot of other great stuff:
http://www.pspbrew.com/?page+packs/generator.php+packId+2
Thanks for totally disgrearding the news that was submitted QJ...
Just when you thought homebrew couldn't get any better we have the mighty AhMan prove us wrong: iR Shell is back and it's back with a vengeance !
Coming back from his retirement only to give iR Shell the final fixup it so desperately needed in the dawning of the FW2.71(SE) era, we see AhMan not only add full support for FW2.71 with HenD but also full support for FW2.71SE-C by Dark_AleX additionally to the already "proven stable" platform FW1.5.
But iR Shell 3.0 not only adds a new dimension for those PSP gamers who are stuck with the dreaded TA82 motherboard, it comes with many new functions for everybody with a homebrew-capable PSP to explore. You can now mute selected parts of the game audio, like the music for example, and enjoy your own mp3 soundtracks mixed with the game sound fx even if the game's options don't offer such a choice. You can now use the 4th screen brightness setting at all times, even when your PSP is not connected to the ac adapter. You can now enjoy your own custom PMF movie or BMP image splash screens. You can redirect game controls to a PC or XBOX controller via USBhostFS or USBhostFS and much more. There are plenty new skins to enjoy and there are many bugfixes and general improvements that happened "under the hood", too, of course.
While AhMan already considered iR Shell 2.2 to be completed and had gone into retirement from development, we can only take iR Shell 3.0 as a final gift to all the PSP fans everywhere in the world. Download it, install it and if you like it then enjoy it in it's final release.
iR Shell development has now been stopped again and AhMan shall go back into his retirement. We should all be grateful and enjoy what we have. Respect that decision and don't request any new features. If you want to give back then create a new skin or code a plugin for it and share it with us. This community will stay here and you are invited to come in if you feel like it or need help with anything.
Thank you AhMan for this final release for us all ! It was fun testing all the crazy new stuff you come up with that I never thought would be possible. iR Shell 3.0 sure is a masterpiece and you deserve a long, long holiday from PSP development. Enjoy whatever you want to do now and drop into the forum every now and then for some PSP gossip
awsome best release yet.I hope you keep it up
AhMan ThankX i've been waiting for this app for 2.71 SE for the longest..now its here thankX
ISO via WiFi and USBhostFS is available via a plugin which comes bundled with iR Shell ...
What is the point of it exactly? Most of its functions can be done in the main XMB anyways, and you have to go into your game folder to open it. Can someone explain to me the point?
Finally i can use irshell on my ta082. thanks ahman
thanks
Just... Die
XMB cannot multitask for one...
How do i make it start in 2.71 mode? i only starts in 1.5 and i cant fiqure out how to change it
Start by reading the install.txt that comes with it ...
i read it but it didnt say
does this irshell work with version 2.8 eloader? has anyon tried it?
Does it work on 2.8 with eLoader 0.995??
Dunno your problem then. If I put the irshell271 folder in /PSP/GAME271 and then launch the silver iR Shell icon I got it in 2.71
What firmware are you on.
The point is it replaces the XMB and adds greater functionality, like multitasking, mp3s in your games, 4th brightness, the list goes on . Try auto-booting it, that way you don't have to go into the game folder, and it comes up right away and you never have to see the XMB. I'm not going to rewrite the readme.txt, and if YOU wanna know what it can do YOU should try either reading the readme or going to www.irshell.com and investigating it for YOURSELF... Lazy f**king b@st@rd...
why iso over wifi? spend the $70 and get a 4gb stick and be done with it?
I downloaded this, installed it on my 2.71se-C psp, now none of my homebrew works!
dont update... just wait... im smelling a 2.8 downgrader soon..
On 2.71 SE-C using Chunglam's Devhook mod I did NOT overwrite the devhook files like the install.txt recommended nad devhook started right up...went to configurator and chose the 2.71 instead of 2.71Fwhici is default and even better.
Superb product...1st time user...might even keep using it. ;)
1.52 > 2.0 > 1.5 > 2.0 > 1.5 > 2.60 > 1.5 > 2.71se-B'' > 2.71se-C > 1.5 > 2.71se-C
FIRST POSTERS i wanna be a first poster:'(
I got everything working again, but I had to downgrade to 1.50, then upgrade back to 2.71se-C. I'm using iRShell right now, works great...I'm not sure what wen't wrong about an hour ago.
how do you set this up? i cant seem to get it to work
Come to the forums for setup help:
http://www.phpbber.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum+irshell
HOw do i load an iso in irshell?
Someone please help i can't find the 1.0 prx files for the nethost -_- i've been searching for hours.
First Post B*Tches!
MORON
I humbly will now stick my foot in my mouth, since there was NO mention of this feature in the feature list on any site I figured it wasn't there. So I took people's advice and just installed it, setup my wifi setting and then press "X" on a iso/cso image, and what do you know, the damned thing loaded up over wifi
NOW, I will use this as my default shell, thanks AhMan
Yes I have been eagerly awaiting this one! Thank you for updateing this wonderful app. I hope the Emu name change function doesnt lockup the PSP anymore. Other than that this is top 3 best pieces of homebrew, keep it up!
I just hope I can figure out all the new stuff!
2nd reply!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
It does every thing but cook my food!
Why doesnt anyone try it before asking? Its not hard....
nice but nobody knows how to use all of these "new features" =_= i can't even get games to work with the music in devhook..
ok, I have messed with it for a bit and this is my findings. I can load iso's and cso's with this plugin in 3.0 under 2.71, but there so somethings you all should know. 1. it is very sloooowww, but that was expected, 2. you can NOT use saves at all, 3. it is VERY buggy, and most times you will NOT load the game on the first try(works better with older/smaller iso's)
there you go, that is my little review of this one feature
Does this work on a Japanese PSP?
hey, about the controller redirection thing, as I can't post in ahman's forum though I'm registered... :(
I read some lucky dudes managed to get the redirection working INGAME while emulating 2.71 with Dahook....question is HOW!!...??
iRshell launches fine, redirection works fine while still in 1.5, Devhook launches fine but... the usb redirection seems to be kicked out during the launch... that would ROCK to finally have a digital aim ingame.... pleaaaaaase wisdom wanted here..!!!
there's no reason this app shouldn't work on a Japanese version, as the consoles aren't region controlled.
the best shell ever made got even better thanks AhMan!!
i installed just how the install.txt says to for SE-C but i start it and all i get is a black screen.
any help?
you probally didnt install the main irshell folder to your mem stick

5 DAYZ LATE!!!!!
:(
is it just me or do you have to be ridiculously close to use the ir remote. please tell me its just me and theres a way to boost the psps ir signal strength. it wouldnt have anything to do with the fact that im sending a signal to a 360 would it? like maybe the 360s ir receiver is weak? that makes no sense but im just throwing it out there as an option.
this happend to me so i reinstalled and that fixed it
yes
