pGOX - preview release of new PSP shell |
Ó
Formerly known as MaxES, now re-released as pGOX - that's homebrew developer PCoopD's latest project for the Sony PlayStation Portable. And since the initial work-in-progress release back in early March, the coder has been busy putting new features together for this next release. Aside from a full aesthetics overhaul from MaxES, pGOX also provides a way to customize the shell graphics. But right now it's a manual affair.
Although you can't expect groundbreaking features yet, for a preview release version, pGOX also comes quite blessed with additions and abilities like:
- Splash Screen
- USB function
- MP3 Player
- Power Management
- MemoryStick Browser
- CPU clock changer
- Help on-screen
- Excute (sic) PBP files
- Excute PNG files
- Play MP3 files
- Open/Extract ZIP/RAR files
- Fully skinnable
- Battery icon (Like in XMB)
- Take screenshot
Now like some homebrew releases, the coder's archive comes neatly organized into folders. You'll be needing some primers on how to use the homebrew application, but there's a catch to that. You'll need a Windows-based PC and an Office 2007 compatible word processor - either that, or settle for a tweaked out Linux flavor with a Windows virtual emulator on its lap.
Why? Because the Readme documentation is in Microsoft's patent-pending XML document standard, and it ain't non-MS friendly yet. We'll keep you updated if new revisions get plated soon.

well I can't read the readme, but due to the file structure of the folders I would say this project is 1.5 only, which is unfortunate. Didn't Dax say devs should quit working 1.5. Oh well, I'll just wait for it to mature a bit. I don't want to have to boot time machine everytime I want to use the shell.
m33 firmware or OE then you can still boot 1.5 homebrew only thing is with M33 sleep mode doesn't work
You can, if you have installed 1.5 kernel, and if you installed it correctly the sleep mode should also work.
But if you have a Slim like I, then you can not run any other 1.5 homebrew than user mode.
boot a hybrid of 1.50 and 3.40oe on a slim and it sleeps well. Pmf's are scrambled and some other video graphics are distorted. But most everything else works great.
what a pain in the A** to boot time machine everytime you want to change up what you are doing. It's not worth it to have to switch back and forth to either play a game, or use the shell, that a bad choice to have to make. The programing for making things slim compatible and 3.x compatible have been around for a while now, why this dev only wrote a 1.5 kernel is beyond me.
