Kickin’ up dust is KiNgOfUnIvErS and his PSNKiller plugin. Now contrary to the name, PSNKiller doesn’t kill anything, in fact it brings life and joy by enabling online PSN play for select titles, much like Red Hate and Smokin’s PSNABLER.

Best of all — PSNKiller reportedly works with WPA-encrypted networks; something PSNABLER had a problem with. But if it ain’t one thing, it’s a-mother-fuckin-nother… According to the FAQ, 5.50 GEN-D3 users — things may not go as planned. If you get this error, “You Must Login to PSN” and when you try there’s another error, then you need to do the following (at your own risk):

1. Downgrade to 5.50 GEN-D2
2. Login to PSN on 5.50 GEN-D2
3. Boot to the recovery console and connect USB on Flash1
4. Copy the “registry” folder to your PC
5. Upgrade to 5.50 GEN-D3 again
6. Boot back to the recovery console and connect USB Flash1
7. Copy the “registry” folder that you backed up in step 4 to Flash1 overwriting it
8. Try getting online now.

Otherwise install PSNKiller like you would any other plugin. Copy the “PSNKiller” directory to the root of your memory stick and add the appropriate line to ms0:/seplugins/game.txt.

ms0:/PSNKiller/UniPSNKiller.prx 1

Supported titles, more info, the download… (more…)

All new from Total_Noob: XMB Icon Manager. The video pretty much says it all; check it out:

That’s right… Essentially you can rename existing icons and assign your own function — shutdown, suspend, reboot, restartvsh (useful for HEN users), game, updater, pops, or backup — to whatever icon. It’s too bad you can’t create and inject your own icons, rather than replacing existing ones. Maybe that’s a future release.

RedHate, remember him? If not, I’ll recapitulate: RedHate and Smokin’ released PSNabler a few days before Xmas ‘09. PSNabler, alongside user contributed games patches, enable the ability to get online with select PSN titles — MotorStorm, Little Big Planet, and Resistance, just to name a few — without actually updating your PSP to the latest firmware.

Now the code behind the PSNabler hack has been released to the public. Perhaps others can advance on it or discover a means of accessing the PSN Store without updating to 6.20.

Just browsing, looking around, and I came across these two (2) handy PSP plugins… By way of pspgen and developer Zer01ne is USB PRX and iXMB. Albeit these plugins may be dated, but we never covered ‘em… So without further ado, here you go:

1. USB.prx: Toggle on/off USB mode while in game. With this there is no need to exit the current game to access your memory stick. Once USB.prx is enabled press and hold L + R + O (CIRCLE) to activate.
2. iXMB: Enable this plugin and you can shutdown or suspend your PSP with the headphone remote; press and hold the Play/Pause button for 3 seconds to shutdown or press Hold to suspend.

Download: USB PRX | iXMB

I bet you have some smut on your memory stick you wanna keep secret—videos perhaps? Yeah I know you do. Whatever you’re into, keep it to yourself with Hakuryu188’s plugin: Hide My Movies. It does just that; it hides your videos from the XMB. Hide them from your ol’ man, your siblings, or whoever has access to your hand-held.

 

To Hide/Unhide your videos press R, CIRCLE, JOY DOWN.
