All good things must come to an end… Ahman, developer of iR Shell — probably the best homebrew to ever exist for the PSP — has waved goodbye leaving behind one final release.

iR Shell is literally packed with a remarkable feature set for both Slim and Fat models — listen to MP3’s while in-game, multi-task between UMD/ISO/homebrew and any of iR Shell’s built-in functions, enjoy 2 player PSOne games wirelessly with another PSP, etc… The fun never stops!

If you’re a newcomer, I suggest you download and open the included PDF-formatted user guide to get started. You won’t be disappointed.

New iR Shell 3.9 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.

Farewell Ahman. We at PSP Hacks wish you success in your future endeavors.

Thanks Demonchild and Dave

I don’t have much time, so lets get to the point. AhMan has released a new version of iR Shell. Well actually, two new versions — 3.81 (again) and 3.81.1. Details concerning both are below. Install 3.81 first, then apply the 3.81.1 update.

iR Shell 3.81 bug fix updates:

• 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.

The iR Shell 3.81.1 update adds support for Dark_AleX’s multi-disc popsloader. And the 3.81 download is yesterday’s bug fix release; not the November 22nd release.

Following up with the release of iR Shell 3.62, AhMan has shared a video of his latest advancements… Take any 2 player emulated-compatible PSOne game, 2 PSPs, the yet-to-be released software, and what do you get? Multiplayer over Ad Hoc WiFi!

Considering it’s still an early work in progress, there is no release or public beta available yet; however, the proof is in the pudding…

Holy hack master flash, that’s awesome! Kudos AhMan…. Looking forward to its availability.
