RS Psar Dumper by Red Squirrel
http://redsquirrel.forumitalian. com
What's?
RS Psar Dumper is a "derivated" from classical Psar Dumper (last version of which was released by HelldashX).
Its functions are the same of classical Psar Dumper (so dump Firmware from an Official Udpater Eboot), but it's more! Infact this version has a user interface full of colors, more interactive and especially it has the new important function to make a dump of Firmware directly on PC, without using Memory Stick!
Infact this Homebrew has a USBHostfs connection function with a PC, so the program can read eboot directly from Hard Disk (that is a good profit because new Sony Updater Eboots weigh also more than 20Mb!) and it can also dump the Firmware directly on PC, so Memory Stick is NEVER used during the process!
Attention: v3 does NOT violate any Sony Copyright!
Infact if you use it under a 3.80 (or more) Firmware, the program try to get NATIVE support for decompress KL3E (to decompress reboot.bin) and the oldest 2LRZ (to decompress <=3.73 firmwares).
KL4E in this case is decrypted using an import exported by UtilsForKernel function.
What is the effective profit?
1. Well, first of all homebrew does not require free space on Memory Stick (that can be full too!)
2. You spare time because you do not need to copy files betwenn PC and Memory Stick!
3. Extracting and Dumping process require a very smaller time!
An example? Look to this my little "experiment":
Process:
3.71 firmware dumping from the Official Updater Eboot
Technical data:
Eboot of 22,5Mb (biggest released from Sony!).
Memory Stick used: Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo 2GB (that released with PSP pack!).
Process used: the most "onerous", so PSAR loading with extraction e decrompression of the Firmware (SQUARE key in the homebrew)
Result:
-"Classical" process executed on Memory Stick: about 90 seconds of waiting...
-"New" process executed on PC Hard Disk through USBHOSTFS: about 25 seconds of waiting...
Conclusions:
Using new USBHOSTFS function you can gain more than one minute!
And then I do not calculate great times necessary to copy eboot from PC to Memory Stick, times that with USBHOSTFS are void!
Features
v3.0
-Added the support for complete KL4E/KL3E decryption
-Increased the 3.90 Firmware support, now it's complete at 100%!
-Program will tell you what sort of decryption support you have.
-Now RSPsar Dumper is ready to use, NO other file is required!
-No copyright or licenses violation.

Databoy2k posted this release:
Hey All:
I've taken the liberty of modifying Sony's PLAYSTATION(R) Network Downloader software to run on Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. The software as downloaded from Sony's site refuses to install onto this operating system, despite the fact that it works flawlessly. I've changed the flag that was blocking this, and the file is here for us all to use.
To Install: Unzip the file (the file is in standard Windows "Compressed Folder" format, meaning it should be easy for anybody to get into). Run the "PLAYSTATION(R) Network Downloader - x64 Edition.msi" file contained within. Enjoy!
I'll try to keep updating if they bother to update the software, though it's a fairly basic program. I doubt they'll actually change anything. My tests of this have been done on the latest Windows XP x64 (SP2) running 3.80M33-5. Have fun x64 Users!

News/release from Poison
Description :
Eboot2psp is a linux script (I don't know if it works whith cygwin) I've made to make compilation and tests of homebrews more comfortable, its aim is to help developers . This script allow you whith one command line only to :
- Delete files as *.o .
- Compile.
- Copy eboot to your PSP.
- Copy folder where are your data files such image, music etc... on psp.
- Unmount psp.
Installation & Command :
Once you've downloaded and unzip the file, open a Terminal and go into the folder where your file is downloaded (ex : cd ./Desktop).
You have to make the files "ready", then type in the terminal :
chmod +x ./eboot2psp.sh
Once it's done, move the file : eboot2psp.sh to /usr/local/bin/ , then type :
sudo mv ./eboot2psp.sh /usr/local/bin/
All right, now it's installed. Lets go how it works, this script use 3 arguments.
The first is the device which you PSP is connecteds, le second is the folder where you want to copy your Eboot (on your psp), and the third is the folder which contains your data files.
For instance, when I connect my PSP, it's connected on the disk-1 device. As I'm coding my old game : Awaker and as on my psp the awaker folder is located to ms0:/PSP/GAME/Awaker/ i have to type :
eboot2psp.sh disk-1 Awaker
Here we are, the script will compile my program and send my EBOOT.PBP to ms0:/PSP/GAME/Awaker.
Now if I want to copy my Eboot and all data files which are located in the data folder, I've to type :
eboot2psp.sh disk-1 Awaker data
It will compile my program and send my EBOOT.PBP and my data folder to ms0:/PSP/GAME/Awaker.
If you want to compile your program whitout to send Eboot and data file to PSP, you have to type only :
eboot2psp.sh
/!\ When you use eboot2psp.sh please, be sure you are located in the folder of the game you are coding /!\
Download :
Download eboot2psp

News Release from sakya.altervista
Hi!
I'm here to release LightMP3 Version 1.7.2.
Users reported that it works fine under CF 3.80M33-5
Here's the changelog:
-Added: Sleep mode (press TRIANGLE while playing a track).
-The psp will shutdown after the track or playlist/directory.
@mico: va bene cosė?
-Added: Option to use the Sony On Screen Keyboard
-Fixed: Files named like "dfgeerr...mp3" weren't recognized as mp3
-Fixed: Freeze on "Opening..." or time stucked at 0 after 20 tracks
-Fixed: Repeat track mode.
-Fixed: Cracking sound when quitting while playing a track.
-Fixed: Some mp3 with "strange" ID3 made the app freeze.
-Fixed: Some mp3 displayed wrong ID3v2 informations.
Some notes:
The conflict with Music PRX is still present (in my tests now I have an exception and LightMP3 crashes).
If you're using Music PRX please disable it before launching LightMP3.
Custom Firmware Extender slows down LightMP3, so if you're using it you'll have to raise CPU clock in LightMP3 (or disable the plugin).

Quickest Exit by Red Squirrel
http://redsquirrel.pspgen.com
http://redsquirrel.forumitalian. com
What's it?
Quickest Exit is a very simple plugin to activate in GAME.
Its function is to replace the classical HOME menų (the menų that appear when you presses HOME during a game or homebrew) and to enable the quick exit from the game or homebrew.
So, if you enable the plugin, when you will press the HOME button during a game or homebrew, PSP will return to dashboard immediately, with a great time profit.
If you press L+HOME PSP will switch off.
Finally, if you presse R+HOME PSP will go in Standby.
I want to specify that there is NO security check after the pressure of HOME button, so PSP will return to Dashboard even if you press unintentionally the HOME button!
Finally, I want to specify that it is a plugin, so it can NOT damage your console in any way.
Features
v1.0
-HOME menų substitution with the quick exit (when you press HOME, PSP will return to Dashboard immediately!).
-Possibility to switch off and to put in Standby PSP with the combination of L and R with HOME button.
Installation (if no plugin is already installed)
-Copy the SEPLUGINS folder (contained in the package) in the root of your Memory Stick.
Installation (if other plugins are installed)
-Copy the QuickExit.prx in the SEPLUGIN folder of your Memory Stick.
-Open SEPLUGINS/GAME.txt and SEPLUGINS/GAME150.txt and add this line to the files: ms0:/SEPLUGINS/QuickExit.prx
Note: After the installation you have to activate the plugin from Recovery Menų!
Thanks
To users of PSP-Cheats.forumitalian.com and PSPGen.com.
To my girlfriend, the only that believe always in me.

Dark Alex is back with a new version of the Universal Unbricker and Custom Firmware Installer for the PSP
Changes in version 4Download And Give Feedback via Comments ...
- - Installer now checks if user has a custom theme installed, and ask him to disable it before running the program.
- - the PSN DRM file in flash2 (act.dat) is now backuped during ms creation and restored in the unbrick.
- - flash2 is now formatted too.
- - Now installs 3.80 M33-5 instead of 3.71 M33-3.
Installation:
- If you have already a pandora ms, don't do this part. Otherwise,
format an ms using c+d mspformat or any other tool that allows to move
partition to ~250kb from first sector
Remove ms, usb and connect again usb and ms.
Make PSP and PSP/GAME dirs.
- - Copy despertar_cementerio to PSP/GAME/
- - Download 1.50, 3.40 and 3.80 update eboots and copy them to ms root with
150.PBP, 340.PBP and 380.PBP names. - - If you have a PTF custom theme set, quit it before running the program.
- - Use the app under a cfw with 2.x or 3.x kernel (be sure that kernel is
selected on recovery to the correct one (2.x or 3.x)) - - Once finished, u will have msipl.bin on root. If you already have a pandora
ms, you don't have to do this step (ipl doesn't changes lol), otherwise,
use c+d msinst to install ipl on ms; or use dd command from unix, or any
hex-edit program to write on sector 16 on the physical drive. - - Now you can delete 340 and 150 PBP's, as they won't be used more; but 380.PBP
will be used for unbricker, so don't delete it. - - Now you have an universal pandora ms ready to go, and you just need a proper
battery. If you have 1.50 kernel access, use c+d tool. Otherwise, use corly149 tool.
Battery and ms will work on all psp and slims to this date.
Unbricking:
- - Press X to install 3.80M33.
- - Press O to install original 3.80
- - Press [] to dump nand to nand-dump.bin. When done, psp will auto shutdown.
- - Press L+R+HOME+start to restore nand from nand-dump.bin
This proccess is very dangerous, and you should *just* use it if it's your
last chance to get it working.
This is a physical restore process (not a logical one), and will try to make
a 100% exact clon of the dump.
If you are working with a dump that isn't yours, you will get either a brick
or a corrupt idstorage, depending on the firmware.
If while you are restoring your psp have got any damaged block more than
when you dumped it, you might also get a brick, depending on what block is it.
Works for both PSP and PSP Slim.
Note: If you are gonna use the memory stick to restore a psp other than the one that created it,
check if the file /registry/act.dat exists in the ms. If it exists, remove it, otherwise the restored psp may not be able
to buy psn games until the user doesn't delete from flash2 the act.dat of the other psp. (act.dat files are unique for each psp).
Note that act.dat will be restored to the moment of the MS creation.
If you have bought other PSN game later, the act.dat file may have changed and if you restore the old one, you may loose the latest bought game.
Backup flash2:/act.dat each time after you buy something from the PSN!by Published on January 21st, 2008 15:15
PSPFAN This Will Really Cool You Off On A Summer Day. The Fan Can Blow Really Well. Turn The Volume Up And Feel The Cool Air.
-----------------------------
BASICALLY THIS APP PLAYS A WAV FILE WITH A HIGH FREQ.
DOING THIS SPEAKERS OF YOUR PSP WILL VIBRATE SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL A SMALL AIR BURST!
THIS IS PROOF THAT I CAN IMPROVE ON THIS IN LATER RELEASES.
-----------------------------
THERE IS A MENU CODED IN LUA. TO ACTUALLY CHANGE THE VIBRATIONS AND FREQUENCY I USED A SIMPLE FUNCTION
IN C++.THE.ASH FILES ARE THE FILES WHICH HOLD THE VALUES.
-----------------------------
IT IS STILL VERY BUGGY AND DON'T EXPECT TO GET A BIG AIRBURST, YOU'LL ONLY FEEL A FRACTION OF AN AIR. But If You Put The Intensity Of The Fan To High You Can Really Feel Some Cool Air.
ALSO FOR THIS RELEASE SOUND HAS TO PLAY FOR THE AIR BUT I AM HOPING TO CHANGE THIS IN LATER RELEASES.
-----------------------------
USE THE D-PAD AND X BUTTON TO USE THE MENU.
USE THE VOLUME + AND THE VOLUME - TO CHANGE THE INTENSITY OF THE FAN.
-----------------------------
LASTLY USE THIS APP AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PSP CONSOLE.
(C)
-----------------------------
ALSO, THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE THAT THIS APP WILL ONLY WORK WITH JAP. PSP SPEAKERS, BUT I DOUBT IT
MINE BEING A 1001.

Freeplay has again updated his Radio Player for the PSP
Version 1.7, 1/18/2008
Added support for custom plugins. Included an example - a two-channel equalizer that displays beneath the 'stop' button. For an example of how plugins work, open X:\radio\plugins\equalize r.plugin in your favorite text editor.
Plugins are self-contained JavaScript files, so if you're any good with that, you can easily make your own plugins. FreeRadio will automatically load any plugin files stored in the X:\radio\plugins folder with a filename ending in '.plugin'. The only requirements for a plugin are 'load' and 'start' functions and a variable named 'started'. The rest is up to you.
Plugins are only loaded in the Shoutcast, Stream, and Playlist views; this is because rest either don't play audio or might not always look the same (since podcasts and RSS can use HTML).
The web browser and bookmark links now open in a new tab, rather than the current one.
