Some news from the 0x89 team regarding the Shell for PSP they are working on:

Finally... i have some good news to tell.

Yes, i know its been nearly a month since ive posted news, but anyway...
I received a prototype touchscreen overlay the other day and i am currently building an adapter for it.
Now onto 0x89.
I have been told by Raphael that he has nearly finished the video player and in its current state it can play 480x272 avi, mpeg and wma at full speed!
I have also been informed by Insomniac that his image viewer and music player are also nearly finished, but he is still working on a few codecs.
I will contact them both to see if they can get PMF, AT3, VAG and FLAC codecs in them.

So, right now the codecs/file types are...
Video: avi, mpeg, wma, pmp, avc, divx.
Music: mp3, ogg.
Images: png, jpeg, bmp.

We still need a final GUI design... but i really hope that is finished soon, ill have to contact zettablade. (different timezones)
We also need to play around with the prxs, as we intend to flash 0x89 directly to flash0 and store configuration files (xml) and themes etc on flash1, this way if only one prx needs updating its a lot easier for us.

This is how it currently stands, we hope to include more. Also, another little thing i might work on (with help from Dark_AleX and Mathieulh) is 2.xx UMD loading from 0x89 with only the 2.xx kernel and needed prxs, but we will see.

Hope you enjoy reading!

Yes, I have been dreaming of this shell. HarleyG and his team are incredible coders!

I've been following these projects closley. Here is HarleyG's official website:

The one feature that's on my wishlist (an XMB that supports .gif wallpaper - which would basically give us moving wallpapers) , sadley does not seem to be planned for this release. But, who knows, maybe if HarleyG reads this, the idea will interest him. Or maybe it will someday be included as an update. But that's just a small thought of mine. 0x89 looks like an amazing shell, and I can't wait to try it!
