Irshell is an awesome homebrew shell which has various different features.One can use it as an organizer,music player,pmf player,photo viewer,game player (Homebrew,iso,UMD),allows in game mp3 music,usb host,net host and also infra-red function.The infra red feature is the best feature of this shell as it allows users to control infra-red powered electric appliances like TV's,PS2 and many more using pronto hex codes.In other words,you can change the channel of your TV,increase the volume and do almost everything a standard remote control is capable of doing.It's a must try if you ask me.

i got in but i removed it... coz i dunno how to configure it... i can't play my iso or cso in it...

jacster,actually you can.I,of course am not allowed to tell you how to get it to work,but it has nothing to do with the application itself.It's your UMD Mode. *hint*

woooo i'll get THAT!

ooOOooo.... i'll try to get test again tonight.... i know the function are pretty intimidating.... Ermmmm u mean by my CFW setting or the configuration inside irshell?

Your custom firmware settings.

i tried but still screw up.... now press the game fille will straight hang... so removed it again...

anyone here know how to connect laptop and psp using adhoc mode. i tried to connect my psp so that it can share the internet. so lazy to get a router. Plz help!!

Use USB wifi adapter.

the setup very leceh.. well, good luck.

Hi all,

Im a brand new psp owner (slim model 2000) and havent heard anything about firmwares or custom stuff till now,so Im abit confused here.Hope you all can help me out


1)Basically to play "ahem" games off the net,you'd need custom firmware right?What version would that be of the firmware?(Latest version)

2)Once flashed with the custom firmware,can we unflash it back to its original state? (Sony supported,able to auto dl updates online,etc like a regular brand new psp)

3)What other positive traits are there in flashing your psp besides "being an illegal gamer"?

Hope everypne can help me here,i joined the forums just so i can get answers for these questions.


P;s// If my questions were already answered at a previous point in time,please lead me to it by providing the link

Alright,first of all,welcome to the psp world!

1)Yes,you'll need custom firmware if you want to do so.The latest version is 5.00M33,but versions like 3.52m33 --> 4.01m33 are just as good.

2)Yes,you can revert it back to official firmware using a Pandora's Battery,but no,you will never want to do so,trust me

3)You can enjoy homebrew which are third party games,applications and many more developed by fellow psp users who expertise in C/C++,Lua and other languages.You can also enjoy plugins,themes and many other cool features.

Wow thx for the first reply and im happy to be here anyways I did some more research so far and this is what i came up with :


1) I have version 5.0 of the official firmware so I think i need to straight use a pandora battery to flash it.

2)I dunno besides a pandora battery,what else would i need?

3)I got this instuction that says i need only 5 steps to flash any firmware version of psp =/ Dunno is boleh harap anot 1. Anyone can review it for me?

http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/f133/easy-...lim-or-t210546/


thx alot and hope to join you guys in CFW world ^^

hehe,no problem.

1)Is it 5.00 or 5.00M33? If it has the m33 extension behind it,then you have a custom firmware unit in hand.Else,it is an official firmware unit and you'll need a Pandora's Battery to hack it,or in other words,install custom firmware in it.

2)When i say Pandora's Battery,i mean a Magic Memory stick as well.This is because a Pandora's Battery won't function unless a Magic memory stick is set up,and the very same will happen if you try to use a Magic memory stick without a Pandora's Battery.

3)That only works on custom firmware units.

Alright,if you have a official firmware unit,you can meet up with some people in this forums who are willing to hack your psp for free.Kind people like Lacus and many other people,for sure will be willing to do it for you.You can contact him,and ask him about it.

Enjoy your psp life man!

Hehe ok here are further details:

1)Its the official v5.00 cuz i bought mine from aus. Im studying in as at the moment but im malaysian from penang

2)How to get magic memory stick??

3)I wanna learn how to do it myself cuz i got another unit which i also bought from aus which is my bro's So i need to help him with it also sooner or later hehe. Keep up the replies,im learning a lot here ^^


Edit :: I thought a magic memory stick is basically a memory stick duo thats between 64 mb and 4 gb? /that one can get from the stick already supplied with the psp right?Unless im wrong

Pandora's Battery Conversion Methods.

1)If you have an already hacked unit in hand :
-Download your favourite battery creator (My favourite is Hellcat's 3.xx creator),and run it on the hacked psp with the battery you want to convert to a Pandora's Battery in it.After the process is over,hey presto!! You'll have a Pandora's Battery in possesion

2)If you DON'T have an already hacked unit in hand :
-You'll need to open up you battery and cut a pin.This process,however is quite risky to perform mainly because wrong moves can cause injuries to your body.This process is also unreliable (Tak boleh harap) because it'll take a few batteries to get it to work if you're unlucky.


Magic Memory Stick Creation :

1)Run the MMS creator via a hacked psp unit.

2)Run the MMS creator on your PC.This method is VERY easy and very good indeed.

1)Ah,then it for sure is an official firmware unit.

2)Magic Memory Stick actually is standard memory stick pro duo which has pandora files on it.That's why it's known as the Magic Memory Stick.The creation of this memory stick is EXTREMELY easy judging by the fact that all you need to do is to run the easy-installer on your PC and it's done.

3)Oh,sure

See my reply above,and tell me which option suits you best,and i'll try my best to guide you through it.

1)I bought my own pandora battery from hong kong online for about 10 AUD which is about Rm23 at the moment? should arrive in a few weeks time then i wont have to destroy a few batteries just to make 1 stupid pandora battery


2)What is the name of the file ? (if its not illegal to ask) the magic memory stick program name i mean

1)That's brilliant.If so,you're all good to go!

2)Here,use this guide.It's very simple,and if you mess up,you can reformat your memory stick and go through it all again.

Pandora Guide

wtf.. RM23?
damn...

Hehe thanks alot for the guide but before i start,can you tell me how to check my motherboard version?apparently those with "Model TA-085v2" cant make a pandora battery or the risk of bricking is very high,if not 100% Mine's a slim psp 2002

Here's the website and sorry,im mistaken it costed about 12.20 usd which is about rm 43, not rm 23. Oh well http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15612

i am not sure about slim & lite but if it's a phat.... pop ur UMD door.... and look for a set of numbers there.... i think it was a tut given by some other members here before....

Is there also a type of psp motherboard that cant be modded? o.0 and btw bumpz :

Thanks for the reply,yeah i 've read something about that online before but mine isnt a phat one

yes it was said the MOBO for the latest PSP 3K and later batches of PSP 2K and "un-modable".... i think i made up that word....

Sorry i am having trouble understanding your sentence here Why are they unmodable anyway?different motherboard? How do i check what my slim psp's motherboard is?

Ah,they cannot be modded because these motherboards are the latest attempt by sony to prevent users from hacking it using a Pandora's Battery.In other words,these mother boards,for the time being,are Pandora proof.

Ah good,finally you reply playboy Anyways how do i find out whether my psp is hackable or not??? How do i find out my motherboard's code??

That,i'm not sure.I am a fat psp user,so yea,i don't know about the slim motherboard.I'm sorry man.

Hmmm thats sad to hear Guess i have to search somewhere else for help. Until my battery comes so i can try out if it works or not haha

Cool man,i'm sorry i couldn't sort you out on that

Anyways,good luck

Nah thats fine, you've tried and thats all that matters Hopefully everything goes well for my PSPs, and i can join you guys in the awesome world of CFW ^^ . See ya later

Hi! Im also new 2 this. after u hack 2 CFW...can still used it to surf internet with the wireless mode.
Coz im afraid that it will autoupdate the legal FW and brick my PSP.

Hmmm i dont think it will auto update your system because the normal way of downloading updates is when you go to the "Network Update" function of your PSP.If you dont press that then I dont think the psp will find for the official updates by itself. Also,bricking happens when there is an interruption of the system while its flashing. Like in the process of updating,it says "Please dont turn off the system" or something like that. If you do then it will brick.

Yes,you will be able to do EVERYTHING that can be done on an official firmware psp.Don't worry man

That,is another feature that may cause some problems.But recent M33 firmwares DO NOT have the official firmware update function.This is because Dark_AleX has replaced it with a "custom firmware downloader" instead.So,if you "accidentally" hit the network update option,you won't be disappointed

Hahaha wow,what a pro haxxer Now i raelly cant wait to have my PSP modded. dunno why i never thought of this before

BRICK IT BRICK IT BRICK IT

soon i will have a mansion built with psp bricks..
muahahahaha.

can u plz specify the brand? if its around rm100 than maybe i just get a zyxel router then

haha

anyone with bricked psp come to me~~
i give u foc charge for first service... just wanna test, the only bad thing is no guarantee
but, lol...



wifi adapter.. according to your budget, i would suggest dlink or levelone as they got damn powerful driver & softwares. oh but they must support b/g signals. create connection in adhoc on your pc with the b or mixed signals & your psp should be able to detect & connect.



for the router there should be alot of decent brands suitable to your budget.. i got my aztech dsl600ew (usb+4 lan port+firewall+router+wireless b/g) at 120.. that was about 1 & half years ago.


oh but pick one that supports b/g signals. that's important because psp can only connect to '802.11b' type signals.

OK thanks.. still there are more setting to be made to make it work rite. nvm then, i'll try google about it first

hey can u guys help me clarify whether this is true : the psp3000 will behave exactly like the psp2000 when it is not in the Wide Color Space setting (which is the normal mode)

http://www.gamingbits.com/content/view/4785

so dat means the psp3000 is worthy of my buck as i'm a new psp user? (Regardless of hackability)

yeah after it's connected to your pc ad hoc, u have to share the LAN connection (primary internet connection) and your psp should be able to surf.




still, psp 1k for me... LOVE the IR port.

i m planning to buy a pandora battery... how much do you think i shud buy it for?? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12472
is this reasonable?

yep it is... but i just made mine myself. lol

you did ur pandora battery with juz 1 time??or got buy spare battery?
