These two ‘brews go together like Guinness and Cristal, if you know what I’m talking ’bout… Download Weltall’s CWCHEAT and keep its cheat database up-to-date with Raing3’s PSP CheatUp. It’s the best way to cheat your way through each and every PSP game. My word.

(Dated) PSP CheatUp Screens:

You know the drill… The changes, the downloads — they all follow…

(more…)

Vaseline won’t help the pain in your ass that is starting ChickHEN each and every time your PSP-3000 (or TA-088v3) is shutdown or rebooted — but Zer01ne’s Sedna will!

Simply install this plugin like you would any other and you’re set — no activation or manual intervention required… As soon as your PSP boots you’re homebrew and custom firmware enabled. However, by the looks of it, or at least what I’m lead to believe from the read me is that Sedna won’t always work: “Some Reboot/Shutdown is still executed despite the patches apply.”

That aside, Sedna does all this [French to English translated] stuff:

• Patch the Reboot of the PSP
• Patch the Shutdown of the PSP
• Hide UMD Update Icon
• Patch flash 0, 1, 2, 3 for USB access
• Redirecting the file version.txt to ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/version.txt
• Patch the blit TIFF image “blit corrupted data for file with extension .tiff”

Download: Sedna for Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-A/B

Thanks Paradigm. Much respect.

Take a break from that Kit Kat bar and upgrade to Game Categories v9. It adds this new categorization mode called “Content Browser” that is no doubt, in my opinion, the best mode. It’s so seamless, so fine — Bubbletune’s Game Categories v9.

A quick one… If your volume controls are broken, or should you want to remap the vol + and – buttons for whatever reason, then download this simple PSP plugin: Arnold’s VSH Volume Remap.

Arnold quotes –

This plugin allows you to remap your VOLUME buttons to Digital UP and DOWN. This means that you can change the volume of your PSP by pressing UP or DOWN. After you have changed your volume, simply remap back and you can use your PSP like normal again.

See the read me for usage instructions.

Game Categories Revised v8 —

It’s the same must-have plugin you know and love, only this time, Context Menu Mode has been improved and now displays more than just 4 items. As well, v8 adds the ability to hide the uncategorized category should your homebrew be, well, uncategorized… And if it is, I gotta ask: Hello McFly!? Anybody home? Why are you using this plugin in the first place? That’s a rhetorical question, so whatever the circumstance, enjoy Bubbletune’s Game Categories v8.

Uncategorized ‘brew can be hidden by creating an empty file called “gc_hide_uncategorized.txt” in ms0:/seplugins.

Game Categories v8 Changes:

• UTF-8 support was not correctly implemented for language files, fixed.
• Improved Context Menu Mode, now shows a larger number of items instead of only four.
• Added ability to completely hide uncategorized even if there are files floating around (see readme for instructions).
• Tried to fix a rather strange crash that occured in all sorts of instances.
