[RELEASE] iR Shell 3.8

[AhMan]

iR Shell 3.8

This release adds support to PSP Slim, plus various new features. Basically, all existing & new features are the same between Phat & Slim, with the exception of Slim can't use Infra-Red remote. BTW, I will be taking a long break from the scene. If there are any critical bugs in this release, I will try to fix them before leaving.

Here is a list of feature highlights. For details, refer to the release note in the archive.

Supports the latest M33 firmwares across both Phat & Slim. Slim users can choose among 3.60M33, 3.71M33-1 to 3.71M33-3.
PSOne 2-Player Adhoc Support.
Introduces a new Context Menu System. Functions (plugins) under context menu will always be available to all file types, similar to the right mouse menu click under Windows.
Added a new Multi-tasking PRX Plugin System. This allows user written PRX Plugins for iR Shell to multi-task with another game/app. The included PRX HTML/Text Viewer developed by korDen allows you to view HTML & Text documents while playing games or homebrews..
With the help from Dark_AleX, support to M33 & NP9660 No UMD Modes have been added. NetHostFS & UsbHostFS are also available for the No UMD modes.
Added support to the latest Popsloader for 3.71M33-3 by Dark_AleX.
Allow random start of MP3 for the alarm clock function, so you'll be greeted with different tunes each morning.
Added the options to put your PSP to auto-sleep while idle to save battery.
Allows you to press Hot-Key to turn off/on all LEDs. The annonying memory stick or WiFi LEDs will no longer distract you from watching your favorite video/movie.
Support TV-Out for Slim via component cable.
Added the display of volume bar for PSP main volume in iR Shell.
plus numerous bug fixes.

Thank you so much for this :D

Is anyone else having problems with NP9660 No UMD mode asking for a umd to be inserted :(

Same is happening with the m33 no umd mode plugin :(

Only oe no umd mode is working as it should :( (its not as compatible as the other two)

Kinda defeats the purpose.

you have NP9660 mode set within the irshell configurator right?
the configurator supersedes any setting set in recovery menu.

yep

[Johnny_Mcbride]

nevermind. you have to run the update patch file first before they work.

Thanks for this ahman! you rule :D

[Zargon]

Another excellent update to an already excellent shell.

Keep up the good work and try as hard as possible to relax (Oxymoron if I ever heard one) from time to time. Keep the mind up to snuff and the stress low.

[havoc_012]

Wow. This is a pretty cool program. Thanks Ahmen.

BTW, does anyone know if this outputs video in progressive scan or interlaced?

[Sterist]

two different amazing teams combine to form what? something beautiful! that's what! something that sony couldn't even dream of.

[danknugz]

GREAT STUFF!! Finally I can play NES on my TV :D you do realize how absurd that statement is, don't you?


thanks for the great release ahman! i was wondering, does the adhoc act as a 2nd controller,( mmm 2 player hogs of war!) or is it link games only? ( armoured core, im looking in your direction...)
thanks again!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[Baboon]

I've not used irshell for ages but the two-player ps1 games feture will soon change this.

Looking good! :)

iRShell = Best piece of homebrew for PSP

That's an extremely great changelog. I wish my brothers were hard-core with the PSP like me, so I could enjoy that Ad-Hoc Multiplayer feature for the PSOne games.
But that's not all the good of this changelog, also the feature of multi-tasking PRXs, the No-UMD drivers, Auto-Sleep when Idle, random MP3s on the alarm clock! This is perfect for me, because after some time with the same noise playing over and over, and over and over again, I get use to it and I won't wake up anymore. With random noises playing every day this won't happen anymore.

Thank You AhMan! This is a nice release, and nice application. I've downloaded every single update of iRShell. I'm turning 18 the next month. So you will see my name in the donations list soon. ;)

[eatnooM]

Wow, this release is superspecialawesome. Your work is very much appreciated, AhMan, enjoy your break! :)

[ddelima90]

Congratulations AhMan, enjoy your holidays! Felicitaciones desde Uruguay, sudamerica, muy buen trabajo.
Just a question, Can I switch the Mp3 player to random songs? Please answer.

[XxunknowxX]

finally i been waitin for a slim IRshell update is about time. thnx.

[ICE]

Thank You!

[kjetil1991]

wow this was the coolest homebrew yet ;)

[Saracchini]

It will run in 3.52 M33-4 ?
I dont want update again to 3.71 M33... it bricks a lot with me...

[zanco]

So... I have been seeing IR shell everywhere ... but what does it do?

[NoQuarter]

Nice release,been waiting for this one :)

[Aryn]

This version of IRShell is excellent, I will definitely be getting a lot of use out of it in the near future and as soon as I am able to do so I will try to donate. :)

Oh, I have one minor complaint, ELoader always freezes up while loading homebrew after being launched through IRShell. Perhaps this can be fixed in later versions of this program.

[b_simpson1999]

well i got le recover v3 on seplugins and it was working before but now it's not working at all. some of my psx game work on my memory card loading off xmb and irshell but not on usbhost plus how do you get the wi-fi host to work as well?

[Shrygue]

Oh yeah finally! An update for irShell is absolute ace! I'll get this now!

A bug I have to report: After switching to iRShell 1.5 if I select any kind of reset under the reset icon I get returned to the XMB or freeze, also from switching from 3.71 to 1.5. I see the patch folder in the iRShell folder, do I have to run this to maybe fix these issues, I've never seen a patch file for iRShell before so I'm confused. How do I patch though because the readme's are empty for me. HELP?

yeah you have to do the patch, the txt files are empty because the file name of the text file should help, hope this helps.
