iR Shell v3.81 Released! *Updated*
greg | November 22, 2007
Update: Quick on the draw is AhMan with a bug fix update — version 3.81. If you’ve already installed 3.8, just download the update overwriting the current installation on your memory stick. Otherwise, the full 3.81 package can also be obtained below.
- 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.
Tis the season… AhMan has unveiled the update of all updates — iR Shell v3.8. Most notably is PSP Slim and PSOne 2 player Adhoc support! Additional feature highlights bundled in version 3.8 are detailed below. Read that over, along with the included documentation, and enjoy the #1 PSP shell replacement.

iR Shell v3.8 feature highlights:
- Supports the latest M33 firmwares across both Phat & Slim. Slim users can choose among 3.60M33, 3.71M33-1 to 3.71M33-3.
- PSOne 2-Player Adhoc Support.
- Introduces a new Context Menu System. Functions (plugins) under context menu will always be available to all file types, similar to the right mouse menu click under Windows.
- 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 developed by korDen allows you to view HTML & Text documents while playing games or homebrews..
- With the help from Dark_AleX, support to M33 & NP9660 No UMD Modes have been added. NetHostFS & UsbHostFS are also available for the No UMD modes.
- Added support to the latest Popsloader for 3.71M33-3 by Dark_AleX.
- Allow random start of MP3 for the alarm clock function, so you’ll be greeted with different tunes each morning.
- Added the options to put your PSP to auto-sleep while idle to save battery.
- Allows you to press Hot-Key to turn off/on all LEDs. The annonying memory stick or WiFi LEDs will no longer distract you from watching your favorite video/movie.
- Support TV-Out for Slim via component cable.
- Added the display of volume bar for PSP main volume in iR Shell.
- plus numerous bug fixes.

Very cool! I thought it was over at 3.1! AhMan rules all!
Dude how did you put this on your PSP.???? i dont get it??
Ive been waiting for this since I was a fetus
dude well I’ve been waiting this since I was a zygote.
-TKG
Well ive been waiting for this one since ive been a sperm cell
WELL I BIN WAITIN 4 THIS SCINCE MY DAD WAS A SPERM CELL
ooooh burn…
rofl
Wow it just got released here it was up yesterday on pspupdates well im using this and it looks good!
HOOLYY SHIIT !!!
AhMan is really THE MAN !!
I have to try the PSone ad-hoc =P
You can say that loud! Ad-hoc with PSOne games… dreams of many have come true! Ahman, YOU’RE the man! ;)
Thank you! This looks like a decent update!
CAN SOME ONE SHOW ME HOW TO DOWNLAOD IT ONTO MY PSP I DON’T GET IT
did u get ur answer because i wanted to know the same thing
yeah did you get a responce on how to put it on your psp?? if you know how to do it let me know…
with ps1 ad-hoc multiplayer this is the time to pick up irshell if you haven’t already
I really dont know what IRshell is XD
but the ps1 adhoc really made me look!
Has anyone know if psp be able to emulate mugen? or will it ever? this would be cool. Mugen for psp. amagine. best fighting game ever.
yes the psp can play its own version of mugen
I really hope this fixed the problem with the Infra red remote part not accepting the old txt remote codes. that was the only reason I really wanted it.
Does anybody know the best way to get all the remote codes?
To my knoldge there was never a problem with codes not being accepted. If you are running 3.71m33 sony is to blame for the infra red not working. I think that feature was removed by sony on fw 3.71
IF this is the problem you are having it can be fixxed.
All you need is a file called sircs.prx
I cant ell you where to get this file because it is copyright protected from sony, but i can maybe give you a point in the right diriction:
sircs.prx is included in fw 3.52
and look for a program called PSAR Dumper
Just a little info..Do what you want with it ;)
With a little research you can find what you need.
OHHH YEAH!! finally for da slim!
finally! ps1 2player mode! Thanks AhMan!
now if only the ad hoc can turn into wireless internet that would be awsomer, imagine ps1 games online!
That is actually possible with this already :D
Would be a bit tricky to setup tho :_:
Awesome for sure
I was slow to jump aboard the irshell boat, but after using it for awhile it is no doubt one of the coolest and most useful things i have seen for the psp
Thanks for the update!!
too bad devhook doesnt work for the slim. This is the only reason i9 wont install it…
To install you just copy the folders - IRSHELL and seplugins to the root of your mmc, what do the eboots in the PSP folder do?
anybody been able to get their isos to work without a umd on irshell? i can’t figure it out.
this was a bug and was fixed in 3.81 release. works sweet.
http://dl.qj.net/General-Apps/pg/12/fid/15216/catid/151
sorry meant run umd from xmb bug fixed.
IT WAS SAID NO UMD 9660 WAS IMPOSSIBLE ON THEIR FORUMS… THANK YOU IR SHELL AND THANK YOU DARK ALEX…. FUCKIN SSSSSSIIIIIICKKKKKKKKK
umd 9660 as in daxter?
becuase my daxter gams is umd 9660
Unfortunately, ALOT of bugs need to be fixed for the Slim version.
Both LightMP3 v1.60 (final) and IRShell v3.81 can’t handle 44.1 Khz OGG files. There’s the old ‘chipmunk’ effect…
And I seem to be having problems with homebrew apps loaded through eLoader v1.000.
(like Game Music Gear 0.1.0 for instance… it plays .ogg files just fine when launched from the XMB, but freezes when eLoader is launched from IRShell)
I’m guessing it’s not a hardware issue on the Slim, just… bad codec libraries (?). I’m running 3.71M33-3, btw.
ermm… i cant install cos i dnt kno where the “root” directory of my MS is… my menu only shows “PSP” & “ISO” … anybody helpy plz?
*sigh*
Think of a tree. Where’s the root located at ?
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/R/root_directory.html
even with 3.81 version, i still can’t get the no umd option to work. i have a slim psp, running 3.71 m33-3 firmware. anyone else having this problem?
At first, I did too. Donno why… You should open up the Configurator menu and choose “Sony NP9660 NoUMD Mode”. Then browse to the ISO folder and press X while highlighting an .iso file (or .cso, whatever).
Oh, and if you’re running 3.71 m33, you should go to ms0:/IRSHELL/PATCH/3.71/ and press X on “btcnfpatch.prx” to run it.
wait , so iso/cso’s work on the slim now or not? I read in the user guide that devhook couldn’t be used on the slim… CAN U PLAY ISO/CSO FILES ON THE SLIM???????????
Great product, advice anyone to give it ago.
My only question, is there any cheat engines compatable with this program? Trying CWCheat 0.19 H and will not run cheat engine when running cso through irshell.
Um… I copied those folders to my root… now what?
Nice
Im running 3.71 m33-2 on a Phat PSP. I was hoping this would work but no. I can access all my drives with Nethostfs. But when I select an Mp3 off the hard drive nothing happens.I just selected a Jpeg and it hung with RECV_INTEGER problem not 4 bytes: -1.
Anyone got any ideas. I can access my Mp3 and Avis with Pimpstreamer 1.0 as well, but its the same, I cant seem to get anything to play.
Any help would be appreciated. Thx
Okay, got IR Shell up and running. But it won’t recognize any homebrew on my system or allow me to start it (emulators, etc.).
Matt
At least give people info on your firmware, psp type, emulators you want to run.
I dont think you are going to get an answer for every thought you have
I have the CFW 37.1 M33-3. I have numerous emulators (PicoDrive, NesterJ, MasterBoy, gpSP, Snes9x). This is a Slim. I have them all on my PSP. They all work fine on XMB, but on IR Shell they are not displayed/recognized.
*3.71, sorry about the typo.
i have OFW 3.71. So what can I do??
How do i install it once i’ve downloaded it? i have the first original psp released with v1.5 i’m running devhook ver.0.46
OH MY GOD! Ive been waiting since the PS1 has been able to be played on Phat PSP’s now Finally a dream come true Adhoc PS1 games !!! Greatest Gift to all psp owners for this cristmas!!! As for PSP slim owners use ur garantees and switch to Phat systems before its 2 late,its just has so much more to offer than slim right now! For the dude above (spiller88) what the hell u doing on firmware 1.5 still? Dude upgrade to M33 NOW!!!
Can someone help me install this on 3.52 M33-4? I can’t seem to get this working, nor can i launch iso’s from irshell (No UMD inserted), but i set it to NO-UMD
how do you install it
I too find that this release of IR Shell has problems under 3.52m33-4 (which aparently isn’t fully supported by IR Shell either).
Is there any way to get that lovely multiplayer ad-hoc support for PS1 games WITHOUT having to get IR Shell? I mean seriously. I don’t want to change my shell, or my Apple skin for the matter.
I simply want PS1 2 player support ^__^
yea i have 3.52 m33-4 and i installed IRshell but it keeps staying on old irshell…. Help need it.
Hey I have software Version 3.72 on my psp and for some reason I can never get anything that I download on psp-hacks to work on my psp. It keeps saying (This game cannot be satarted) Then it has some random number. Can anyone tell me whats wrong?
you likely arent on a custom firmware…look back at two things on this site…pandora’s battery will let you downgrade your psp back to 1.5 firmware (not software…its firmware) this is needed to re-upgrade to a better “custom” firmware that was written by some of the most awesome hackers out there M33…go and download your favorite i’d suggest 3.52 custom firmware then update that to their fourth custom firmware update…this’ll allow you to run homebrew…good luck, just remember to RTFM and follow ALL directions to a t!
hello
y have the same problem, do you now how can y resolved this?
thanks
I am totally new to this. I tried installing this and I don’t know shit about any homebrew. So I installed it and tried to follow the directions as best I could. It didn’t work.
I am running on 3.71. Will I be able to download this? It looks way sweet. Any help would be awesome.
i got v3.73 slim, would it work on that version too?
HOMEBREW ONLY WORKS ON CUSTOM FIRMWARE (MODIFIED, NOT THE ORIGINAL/OFFICIAL SONY UPDATED). Please don’t try to use homebrew unless you’ve installed custom firmware (if you don’t know what this is then you probably don’t have it).
This has probably been answered somewhere else, but I just got a cheap used psp from my friend with sony’s 3.73. How do I downgrade to something that will run iR iR Shell v3.81?
if i install this firmware can i still use my psp slim and lite with regular umd games? and i can still play mp3 watch video etc etc?
great update!!! But i am still not able to view a text file while playing a game or homebrew. ??????
