EDIT - New Version :

- Usbhostfs mode UMD : this one will work with microsoft windows and linux.
You must set your "UMD Mode" to "Normal -UMD required" in the m33 recovery menu then
press "Note + L" button to use this new mode under vsh. You also need an UMD in the drive. Note that
you must create a folder ISO where you launch usbhostfs_pc.exe (launch usbhostfs_pc.exe before
pushing "Note + L" on the PSP) AND the folders "PSP/GAME".

- Usbhostfs mode OE : usbhostfs_pc application only work under linux. You must set your "UMD Mode" to
"OE isofs legacy" via the m33 recovery menu. After executing usbhostfs_pc, type "Note + R" on the psp
then browse your games as usual (under the psp game menu). Note that
you must create a folder ISO where you launch usbhostfs_pc AND the folders "PSP/GAME".
The problem with windows XP must be the usb driver, maybe someone will fix it.

- For other functions, press "Note + Volume Up" on the PSP to show available commands.

/************************* ************************* ******************/

Hi !

I have worked a lot on this project to make it work almost normally under the new 3.71 firmware. Some options aren't ported yet but i will work on it. Note that it's now possible to stream some iso via usbhost, but it seems that you will need to run the usbhostfs_pc server tool under linux to get it work, so install linux, or use a livecd. On windows, the psp freez while accessing the game tab. Maybe someone will fix the windows xp driver, dunno if it work under vista or something else than linux. You also need to be in "OE isofs legacy" mode from the m33 recovery menu, so not all games will work for now.

Sources will come soon like always.

I hope you will enjoy, and i wait for your suggestions and bugs report

==============================
 CUSTOM FIRMWARE EXTENDER 1.6
==============================

 "Custom Firmware Extender" is a set of two plugins for m33
 custom's firmware, that will, like the title say, add some extra options to the SONY PSP.

 With "Custom Firmware Extender 1.6" you should be able to :

 - Stream Isos via usb.
 - Reset the PSP with a button while under the VSH (PSP Menu) or in-game (UMD/ISO).
 - Power off the PSP with a button while under the VSH (PSP Menu) or in-game (UMD/ISO).
 - Change the speed of the PSP CPU/FSB while under the VSH (PSP Menu) or in-game (UMD/ISO).
 - Start and stop Usb Mass Storage under the VSH (PSP Menu) while browsing.
 - Take a screenshot while under the VSH (PSP Menu) or in-game (UMD/ISO) saved in the PICTURE folder.

nice_VIBE84 · 09-26-2007, 09:23 AM

Hey i saw the thing about the usb host prx. does this meen you found a wa to make the psp act as a usb host. if so it would be great. I have been looking for a way to utilize the usb port of the psp for use with the HOLUX GPSlim 236 gps receiver and the latest version of mapTHIS!. It would be great if you could get in touch with Densika of at the dcemu.co.uk forums about this. you could make alot of people happy.

**jx1** · 09-26-2007, 10:24 AM

Oh great!
can't wait to use this, but shall wait for the newer "windows usbhost" version. ^^!!

thanks!

**razero.we** · 09-26-2007, 11:10 AM

I have done tried it any it does not. I will stick with v1.4 until there is enough stuff working on v3.71 M33

Would it be possible to make it so when you turn off the LCD it will stay off even during button presses? This would be great for the remotejoy when it is readded. So you can play on your PC and choose to capture as well. I still need to find proper drivers or software to get the analog stick to work in windows then ill be set.

**jetracer** · 09-26-2007, 08:45 PM

how exactly do you stream an iso i only have a 32mb stick and wanna play some games.?

bongman420 · 09-26-2007, 08:46 PM

Thank you so much. Been waiting for this for a while

.

**jetracer** · 09-26-2007, 09:26 PM

nvm after fooling with it for awhile got it to work. not loading a game yet but system recognizes it and all.

**jx1** · 09-26-2007, 10:27 PM

i cant' have it work with USBhostfs :S
it connects, and sees the game, but when I press it to load, it turns off the PSP
:S

any ideas?

**SnYpEr WoLf** · 09-27-2007, 04:02 AM

Now i think this usbhost driver thing will not work in vista or xp..this is a big problem..i used to be able to connect now i cant..i think its becuase of the new custom firmwares..ass the old m33's and OE's worked fyne with it...

**jx1** · 09-27-2007, 06:26 AM

i installed the newest USBHOSTfs that's included with the Zip. wonder what can be wrong :S

**Cpasjuste** · 09-27-2007, 06:32 AM

You must create this tree on the pc :

Code:

---ISO > folder
---PSP > folder
     +GAME > subfolder

Then load usbhostfs_pc.exe, push Note+L under the vsh. Say me if you see your iso in the list.

I do see the Iso's in the list.
But when I press load, I can hear the UMD spinning, then my USB turns off, and my PSP restarts. :S

always happens. thanks.
any ideas?

(sadly I can't do tests at the moment, as My USB cable is at home. But I'll take note of anything you mention)

mrcreativity · 09-27-2007, 06:57 AM

Works nicely when it does.

I get Random crashes in some games, and some dont load.

Its still swesome.

Thanks.

**Cpasjuste** · 09-27-2007, 08:42 AM
