MbShell v0.01 – a PSP Modular Shell

greg | December 7, 2005

This was over in the qj forums and I thought it was rather cool.

Blue2 has released his first build of MbShell – a module based shell for the PSP.

From the readme.txt:

MbShell (development name) is a shell written in C for the Sony PSP. The name stands for ‘Module based Shell’ and stresses the fact that this application is build with modules (prx’s in this case). This makes it easy to patch the application without ‘reinstalling’ it on the psp. Just replace a module and we’re set to go. This drastically speeds up development for me, and adds simplicity to installing updates in the future for you.

This initial release features:

  • Interface and Audio module
  • 32bit graphics with alpha blending
  • MP3 support
  • PNG support
  • Screenshot support
  • Graphical framework

So what does this do? Again, from the included readme.txt:

It will boot up, present you with a nice interface, a taskbar will slide-in showing time and battery status. A pop-up will announce audio playback has been started and an mp3 will be played. You can move the cursor with the analog stick, and get rid of the popup using the ‘X’ button. To quit just use the ‘Home’ button as you would normally do.

PSP MbShell

Pretty cool stuff!

Remember this is an early development build, so there isn’t much functionality yet, though the future looks quite promising with this app.

Check it out!

So is this just like your own verion of psp? Just like linux or windows?
If it is, they should be able to create custom firmware now, right?

lol, noob here >_

ok I got it but it looks like it can only play one mp3 at a time and you have to rename the mp3 to test for it to play it. :( I dont get it

Couldn’t you implement support for other video-formats. Some codec-support and over this plattform the games using psp version 2.60 could run on a 1.50. Would be nice, if hackers could manage to work together on this thing…

#12: Kim may or may not be an asswipe, but your grammar is awful. Just to recap, if a word begins with a vowel, the preceding indefinite article should be ‘an’, eg ‘an apple, an orange, a banana, a fish’. One peculiar if slightly archaic exception to this is the word ‘hotel’…in old books it is often written as ‘an hotel’ but this is falling out of use now.

Additionally, you used a capital letter in the middle of a sentence.

I don’t mind you insulting people, but be grammatically correct when you do.

OK, bye for now.

Love

Kenny

To #13, you’re an idiot, what the fuck gave you the idea of this making it a cellphone? You call everyone noobs yet you haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about and calling people things like that won’t make them help you!

2005-12-07 13:31:21

question let me get this right, all that this app does is play a single mp3 when you boot it up. :( I dont see what is speical about that.

Number 44: They are going to put a bullet ‘on’ my ass are they? Well that’s not too scary. What would frighten me though is if the pupil shot a bullet at me out of some kind of gun. You can’t even get basic grammatical conjunctions right, motherfucker.

I’m so scared of you, I don’t know if I should piss myself, or shit myself!

Love

Kenny
