Screenshot of XploRa PSP homebrew application - Image 1Developer ne0h recently added yet another homebrew file manager to the list of growing applications with similar natures for the PlayStation Portable. Entitled "XploRa", the app features an extensive set of features considering that it is only on its third release (version 1.5).

The project is still very much in development and doesn't sport as many versatile functions compared to other similar applications. However, the app does include a very clean looking interface and some easy to use controls. We'll be interested in seeing where this homebrew project goes from here.

Here's a rundown of XploRa's release history:

    • Added USB support for all the memory devices; !WARNING! The music.prx plugin must be unloaded to use USB
    • Added the main menu
    • Added the function for shutdown and go to standby.
    • Added a system info window
    • Improved the graphics
  • v1.5:
    • Added multi-language support (English and Italian)
    • Improved the memory usage in the various functions
    • Now in the Slim the 32MB extra memory is used
    • Added a simple image viewer (not quite perfect yet); supports: BMP, PNM, PPM, PGM ,PBM, XPM, LBM, PCX, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TGA, and TIFF
    • Added a sort function to sort the list by: name, type and size (BUTTON LTRIGGER)
    • Improved the date and time show function
    • Now the system tray shows the current active process and the actual path
    • Added a simple MP3 player.
    • Added a simple Zip_Manager that can extract a zip file direct to a folder
    • Added a basic “homebrew sorter” to sort the icons in the XMB

Great job. The GUI is very clean. All it needs are a few more features like umd dumping. Keep it up.
