Wow this is looking really good. Can't wait for the next release. ;)

[Amiga]

Excellent!, even though its a bit funny on my V1.00 psp.

Wishlist for this app:

Integrated media player
FTP client with USB host function

I HOPE!

[pakkman781]

Wow! Excellent! Very Stable too, only crashed once ;)

The OSX Theme needs a little cleaning up, as most OSX themes do these days, they're outdated. Web browser would be the most kick ass thing ever, but easier said than done...

Great release man, very nice! If you need any graphics help, I'm willing to help, just contact me!

[harryboy9]

Congrats :)

I could take a dump, make a pot of coffee, and mow the lawn in the time it takes to jam this onto my PSP. Looks good, though. Just hope I don't have to reinstall the entire app when the next version rolls around.

when i downloaded it, i noticed that the eboot from the PSP-OSS folder was smaller than the other eboot and installed everything the way its supposed to be, but it doesnt work for me. i have a 1.5 psp. can someone help? :confused:

[jezzachan]

This is great! this is actually better than windows 95 the psp. When do you think it will be available for 2.0 and can support wma ?

great work!

i noticed that the eboot from the PSP-OSS folder was smaller than the other eboot :confused:

The eboots in the two "games" folders are suppose to be different sizes.(19kb/150kb)
Did you copy the "PSP-OSS" to the root of your MS card?

This is amazing!! If they can get it up and running on the 2.0 or higher...well... lets just say SONY will really pissed off. While Open Source Shell doesnt load isos, you can run stuff like Fastloader, which will mean all of Sony's hard work will go right down the drain. And the whole cycle of hackers vs imperialist corporation will begin again.

I wanna know if this is coming out for 2.00 cuz i downgraded like 5 times already and from what i heard after abput like 10-20 times your psp messes up. : ( so can you Please please please make it for 2.0. BTW nice work :cool:

[cloudd]

Why would he work on this for 2.0 when the 1.5 version isn't even enhanced enough yet. 2.0 = no kernel mode and a pain in the ass. So kiss it goodbye for now... I can live with no PSP games. Homebrew is where it's at anyways. Sony better smarten up their game line up sucks shit! I really wonder how psp would be selling now without homebrew emulation???

[Illegal Machine]

well as soon as that team emergency exit autobooter comes out, you ownt even have to load this at all..


it will boot automaticly at the start


how about that?

[Killing2Live]

Is anyone else having problems with the mouse kind of getting stuck moving downwards?

[andrewgabriel77]

I'd like to see an opensource compression utility worked into this Like "7zip" or something so I can download zip and rar files directly to my psp and then open them to the appropriate areas

[THE ANSWER]

Awesome APP big props to this guys.

[Acrodin]

need input! ....

O.K. will someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've unpacked all the files in there proper places, but when I go to launch the app, it gives me an error message "This game could not be started (80020321)" ???????????? wtf?

(btw, I'm running it on a 1.5)

[THE ANSWER]

try extracting directly the PSP-OSS%, and the PSP-OSS(the one with the eboot) files from WinRAR to your PSP GAME directory. Do the same for the PSP-OSS(the one with the other files) extract it to the the ROOT directory instead of just dragging them on top. Hope this helps I just got my working I had the same problem with believe me its worth going though the hastle.
