0x89 PSP Dev News

[mavsman4457]

This is going to be so sweet and I just thought of an idea, although it may require too much memory on the flash. Sony is going to have their emulator built in to the xmb so why not do the same thing here? Originally I was thinking that if PS1 ISO's could be loaded straight from the XMB then that would be awesome but now I am thinking, why limit it to PS1 games? Make other systems bootable from the XMB also. Also it would be awesome to be able to make DVD ISO's and play them on your PSP so you have the same features as the DVD.

They want to write this to flash0? Sounds awesome, but very risky... Sounds like something for the Modchip really. Now if they made this dev hook compatible(read: insert the files into the flash0 directory of a Devhook firmware folder) that would be sweet as hell; coupled with the boot selector (I believe there was one released for devhook) this could be a 'safer', no mod-chip necessary option.

I certainly love the media features so far. Sounds like the dream shell .

And Sony's XMB doesnt autoboot?

Not in the way that 0x89 will be .

ok i see your point, can you link where it says '0x89 is a XMB replacement that is currently being developed. It will replace the old XMB, however, allowing you to return to the old one simply by holding a button.' as i couldnt find that part
and going by your examples custom firmware is a picture (XMB) being coloured in (custom fw) and 0x89 is a seperate picture (0x89) that is an extention of the other picture (XMB)
as that was really confusing hopefully this isnt as confusing, custom firmware runs over the top of the XMB but 0x89 will run seperate from XMB, but can be change from one to the other

It's just going to be another irshell or whatever when it's done, if even that and if it's ever finished.

There's no reason for it to be included with Devhook as it'll just be an eboot, but with the files needed to run on flash0/1 instead of the memory stick.

It's not just going to be like IR shell. You need to research it more. It will have all the feaures of the xmb, changing settings, connecting to assecc points, etc., plus a more appealing look and the ability to play more types of media. Sony will be embarrassed when this comes out.

I wonder at what clockspeed it will play movie files. The other media player that's out plays avi's and mpg's very well but it runs at 333mhz. So you can watch a movie in perfect quality but after that you're basically out of batteries. I use it a lot none the less.

well, from what i read in the first post (i really couldnt be bothered to read past first page) itll load this 'shell' as default XMB, unless you hold a button while booting (like autoboot eboot in custom firmware) then itll load Sonys XMB

I never said include it in devhook; I said give us a means to install the shell into devhook's firmware folders to test it without having to write to flash. Writing to flash is extremely unsafe and even though there is a modchip that can undo this, its costly and hard to install.

I can't wait when this is released. I was always waiting for a decent replacement home brew Shell. IR Shell almost fulfilled my desires. But not quite. I want something with a mouse, movie player with more codecs and such

And this definetly fulfills that. I hope its released soon though -_-
