iR Shell 1.1 is out (play MP3 songs with your UMD game/homebrew)

**AhMan** · March 2nd, 2006, 09:58

The multi-tasking iR Shell is updated to v1.1 with the following additional enhancements.

1. A MP3 player plugin is added which allows MP3 to be played back along with your UMD game/homebrew music.
- Support playback list. To construct playback list, use CIRCLE key to highlight music tracks. Maximum playlist size is 10 and the playlist entries should reside in the same directory.
- Repeat single track or repeat the whole playlist.
- Playback control including pause, resume, stop, next track, previous track, volume up and down. Pls note that the MP3 volume control is independent of your PSP's hardware volume button. This will be useful to adjust the MP3 volume without changing your game/homebrew's original music/sound volume. To change the volume of your UMD game/homebrew, use the hardware volume buttons.

2. Data, time & battery info added.

3. Allows CPU speed change. This will be essential for MP3 playback, as some games may experience slowdown if CPU running at stock speed (use Left Trigger + Start). Recommended setting speed to 333 for MP3 playback with game/homebrew running. Note: CPU clock speed selection should be made before launching game/homebrew.

4. APP View (Application view) now supports hidden corruption icon naming.

5. The Pronto Code remote database has been cleaned up. Visit my homepage (http://www.ahman.co.nr) to download an updated version.

Yay, I can listen to System of A Down while playing GTA! (It skips a bit though.)

**dman32** · March 3rd, 2006, 01:53

does this work with gta loader?

**.:PSP1.0:.** · March 3rd, 2006, 07:39

I would have to say.. One of the best homebrew Apps for a while.. love being able to play MP3's while playing UMD games! A must have for all v1.5 owners!

those asking if this will work with any iso loader (gta....bla...)
forget it
the music is going to jump like crazy imo
i cant imagine the data of an mp3+iso being loaded at the same time without jumps or longer loading times
so those poor guys using iso WILL have to buy the original UMD

it should work fine if the game is on UMD (keep it like this, if posible)

sorry if im talking Sh$% but thats just what comes to my mind
