wel,wel,wel
to begin with...
Version 3.9:
New Features:
- Added support for 3.80M33-2, M33-4 & M33-5. Pls note M33-1 & M33-3 are not supported due to some technical issues which I'm lazy to resolve.
- Added support for 3.80 Popsloader Version 2. Version 1 isn't supported.
- The 1.5 Kernel Addon for 3.71M33 & 3.80M33 has caused some incompatibility issues with fw 1.5 iR Shell. This is now resolved.
- Enhance PSP ISO compatability. Previously failed ISOs will probably work in this release.
- For slim only, the nethostfs MAX mode is now compatible with WPA.
- Some older firmware supports have been removed to reduce the distribution archive. This version has support for fw 1.5, 3.10 to 3.80. Also, directories EXTAPP15 & EXTAPP3X have been combined into a single EXTAPP to save space. Each APP# directory has 2 EBOOTs, with EBOOT.PBP for fw 3.x and EBOOT15.PBP for fw 1.5.
Bug Fixes:
- Launch XMB will now show UMD disc icons, even NoUMD modes are selected.
- Fixed some nethostfs & UMD compatibility issues.
- Fixed the compatibility between Sony NP9660 NoUMD Mode & launching PSOne game via nethostfs.
- Turning off nethostfs sometimes crashed the PSP. This has been fixed.
Version 3.81:Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a critical bug in the iR Shell firmware patch which results in unable to launch UMD in XMB and also causes various incompatibility issues with other homebrew apps & seplugins. Just apply the new patch and all issues will be resolved.
- Fixed a bug in Contect Menu which wouldn't allow you to choose "Select" or "Start" menu items.
Version 3.8:
- Added support to PSP Slim via 3.60 & 3.71 M33 CFWs. Both Phat & Slim now supports the latest M33 CFWs including 3.71M33-3.
- 2 Player PSOne Adhoc Support. Pls note this feature isn't very stable atm and games may lose synchronization druing battle, some games may work better than others. Currently, only POP ver 3.1 to 3.51 & 3.60 are supported. Ver 3.52, 3.71 & 3.72 are not supported. To use the supported POP versions with 3.71 M33 firmware, you'll need to use Popsloader by Dark_AleX. By default, iR Shell will stop the POP emu from setting your CPU to 333MHz when WiFi is active. To maintain the 333MHz clock with adhoc mode on, you'll need use iR Shell to set your PSP clock speed to 333MHz before starting adhoc play. Pls note it's still unknown whether running 333MHz will have an adverse effect on the WiFi chip. Use it at your own risk. To exit from PSOne game, press "HOME + SQUARE".
- Introduce a new Context Menu System. You can press the "START" button on a normal file under DIR view and it will bring up a context menu. You can then choose the action to perform on the selected file. The sample context menu have "MT-Viewer", "View" & "Edit". When you choose the Edit action, it will call up the corresponding editor plugin to allow you to modify the file. Refer to the User Guide for instruction on customising or adding your own context menu items.
- 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 (MT-Viewer under Context Menu) developed by korDen allows you to view HTML & Text documents while playing games or homebrews.
- With the help from Dark_AleX, support to M33 & Sony NP9660 No UMD modes have been added. These modes can be configured under iR Configurator and they're independent with the ones in M33 Recovery Menu. To use the new modes, you'll need to apply the newest iR Shell firmware patch that comes with this release. These 2 No UMD modes are supported under all versions of 3.52 - 3.71 M33 CFWs. Pls note the new firmware patch is incompatible with previous versions of iR Shell. Do not install older version iR Shell once the firmware patch is applied.
- Added support to the latest PopsLoader for 3.71 M33-3 by Dark_AleX. Hold R-Trigger while launching PSOne game to choose POP version. If you're using 3.52 or 3.60M33, you'll need the PopsLoader for 3.52. Make sure to set "Pop Ver" to "Use Popsloader Plugin" under iR Configurator if you prefer to use popsloader instead of flash version.
- Added a random start feature for single directory mp3 playback. Goto iR Configurator and enable "MP3 Random Start...". Then, use CIRCLE to highlight a single MP3 directory and press "R-Trigger + CROSS" to start playback. The system will randomly pick a mp3 file in the directory to start playback. Please note the sequence of subsequent play order will be the same as before, it's just the first file will be picked randomly. The intention of this feature is to be used for Alarm Clock wakeup with a random mp3 file. This is NOT A SHUFFLE feature.
- Added Auto Sleep while idle to save battery power. The auto sleep time can be configured under iR Configurator. You can also choose to have auto sleep enabled only when no background application is running. Pls note auto sleep will not be activated under the following scenarios:
* When AC Adapter is connected.
* When nethostfs is active.
* When Adhoc WiFi Transfer is active.
* When usbhostfs is active.
* When usb mass storage is active.
* When Slide Show is active.
* When MP3 is playing.
- Added the ability to turn-off LEDs, including Power, Memory Stick & WiFi. This is designed to be used mainly for watching video clips on PSP, such that you won't be distracted by the constantly flashing LEDs. The orange charging LED isn't affected.
* Press R-Trigger + Vol- to switch off LEDs.
* Press R-Trigger + Vol+ to return back to normal.
- Added support for TV out with progressive component video for slim (Pb/Pr). Typical AV cable and interlaced component video are not supported. Press R-Trigger + Dpad Right to toggle between PSP LCD & TVOut. Do not use the display button to enable TVOut under iR Shell.
- Added volume bar for PSP main volume. Pressing volume keys will now show the corresponding volume under iR Shell.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed Mute Game Audio for some of the UMD games which couldn't be completely muted previously.
- Resolved the incompatibility issue of irsautoboot.prx with 3.71M33-3 release that caused problem when switching back from iR Shell 1.5 to 3.71.
- Fixed the ability to bypass the password screen upon startup.
- Fixed a bug in Adhoc WiFi File Transfer which would skip sending of files/dirs starting with a "." when sending a directory.
- Under fw 3.71, 2 player PS1 support via keypad redirection was broken. This is now fixed.
Version 3.7:
- Added support for M33 3.71 CFW for PSP Phat.
- Screen redirection via Tyranid's remotejoy. UMD Game compatibility has also been enhanced and save/load diaglog boxes will no longer crash. Thanks to Tyranid for making this possible.
- 2 Player PSOne games via usbhostfs/nethostfs keypad direction using 2 PC joysticks/keyboard. Screen redirection via remotejoy is also supported for PSone games.
- Support for M33 popsloader when iR Shell running under M33 3.52 CFW. Only the latest verion popsloader is supported (that is, the one for pops from 3.00 to 3.52). All other previous versions of popsloader won't work with iR Shell. If you're running iR Shell under M33 3.71, the "POP Version" setting in iR Configurator is ignored. This is due to popsloader currently doesn't work with M33 3.71 due to changing NIDs by Sony.
- Support for M33 UMD Video ISO feature under iR Shell File Browser. This will also work with USBHostFS & NETHostFS. Again, for legally owned backups only.
- The number of iR Shell EBOOTs for various firmwares have been consolidated into just 2. One for firmware 1.5, and the other for firmware 2.x/3.x. This should make it earier for users.
- A new autoboot seplugin is introduced to replace the old "irsfw30x.prx". This plugin will work under all firmware versions, including 3.71.
Version 3.62:
- Now fully compatible with Team M33 3.52-3 & 3.52-4 CFWs.
- Enhance the alarm clock function to support PSP suspend mode which means the alarm will still be triggered while your PSP is under suspend mode (sleep mode). The alarm volume will always be at max and is independent of your PSP volume settings. You will still hear the alarm even if you've muted your PSP volume. Thanks to Adrahil for providing the alarmlib source code to illustrate how the magic is done.
Version 3.61:
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed screen corruption while changing CPU speed in PS1 games.
- Retained the overclock speed after exiting game/app while nethostfs is active.
- Fixed adhoc PC nethostfs connection problem. You no longer need to mess with the wlan switch.
- The MP3 will now resume at the exact position when switching firmware versions (1.5 iR Shell to 3.x iR Shell, or vice versa).
- Fixed the nethostfs crashing when fails to connect to the server. Nethostfs should no longer crash the PSP.
- Fixed autoboot plugin problem with some configurations. The updated version should fix the issue.
Version 3.6:
- Added support for Team M33's newest custom firmware (See note 1). If you don't want to update to M33, you will still be able to use this new release with older OE firmwares.
- Launch and multi-task with PS1 games from within iR Shell (works also via USBhostFS and NetHostFS) (see note 2).
- Backup ISO plugins now integrated into iR Shell 1.5 EBOOT and 3.5x EBOOT (also supports USBhostFS and NetHostFS).
- Backup UMD Video ISO support (also supports USBhostFS and NetHostFS).
- Direct switching between 1.5 EBOOT and 3.5x EBOOT via new shortcut combo.
- System-wide "Quick Exit" function to quickly shutdown games, homebrew etc and return to iR Shell.
- Improved Autoboot to iR Shell plugin.
- New Comic Reader plugin based on PSPComic for CBZ and CBR files by suloku. Original version by Archaemic.
- Added the ability to flash/blink the menu highlighting cursor.
- Added support for adhoc PC nethostfs connection under 3.xx CFWs (some additional firmware files required)
- Added a new config item in configurator to turn on/off the Music button for screen capture.
- Other bugfixes and tiny improvements.
Version 3.1:
- Universal Infra-Red Remote is now working under firmware 2.71 mode of iR Shell.
- Support direct launching of Devhook 0.51. A new option "Devhook Launcher Ver" is added under iR Configurator which allows you to choose Devhook 0.4x or Devhook 0.51 to launch. For devhook 0.51, iR Shell doesn't keep any devhook settings and will use those settings that you've defined under original devhook launcher. The devhook CPU speed will carry forward from iR Shell. Pls note you shouldn't enable usbhostfs or nethostfs when launching devhook 0.51 from iR Shell.
- Enhance nethostfs & UMD compatibility which will allow WiFi keypad redirection to work with almost all UMD games that are supported by firmware 2.71. This should bring the compatibility of nethostfs to about the same level as usbhostfs. Under iR Configurator, a new option named "Nethost/UMD Compatibility" which can be set as "Normal" or "Maximum". Default is being set to normal. Pls note the nethostfs is only enahcned under firmware 2.71 mode, nethostfs under firmware 1.5 is unchanged.
For "Maximum" setting, the nethostfs & UMD will have the best compatibility. However, the MP3 playback & Mute Game Audio function will be unavailable when nethost is active.
For "Normal" setting, the nethostfs & UMD compatibility are good, but not as good as the Maximum setting. The MP3 playback & Mute Game Audio will still be available under "Normal" setting.
- Plugin suffix extension has been changed from 3 characters to 1-4 characters.
- Bundled a HTML Viewer plugin by Dark_AleX which means you can open HTML documents (suffix as HTML or HTM) directly from iR Shell file browser.
- Bundled an updated ISO plugin by StoneCut which has Devhook launching capability built-in. This is for use with legally owned backups only.
Bug Fixes:
- When running iR Shell under firmware 1.5 mode of Dark_Alex 2.71 SEC, if you exit iR Shell when "Allow Adhoc PC Connection for Homebrew" is enabled, your PSP will crash.
- The "Free Space" under directory view can't display anything larger than 2GB.
- Can't choose plugin # larger than 10 under iR Shell Configurator.
