==============================
| MyPspMenu Public Release 1 |
==============================

MyPspMenu is a PSP shell. The main goal of MyPspMenu is to organise/manage your games, emulators, applications, iso/cso and psx games.

* Organise your homebrews/games in 6 sections and launch them with a custom cpu speed:
 - Games
 - Emulators
 - Psx
 - Isos
 - Applications
 - UMD

* Filer explorer: 
 - Explore memory stick, umd, flash0, flash1, , nethost0, usbhost0, iso, cso.
 - Copy, paste & delete files/folders from/to memory stick, umd, flash0, flash1, iso, cso, etc... (flash0 in write mode so be careful).
 - Create folders.
 - Rename files/folders.
 - View/preview images (gif, png, jpeg : 512*512 pixels max, 500Kb max).
 - Play a single mp3 (playlist to come with next version).
 - Show directory/files size.
 - Launch homebrews and iso/cso via wifi (nethost, can be bugged for now).
 - Launch iso/cso via usbhost in "oe" or "noumd" mode (with an umd inserted for noumd mode, no homebrew launching via usbhost for now).

* View battery, free space, date, time informations.

Finally(!).

[sakya]

Hi!

Seems very very nice!!

I get an error:

Skins//slpash.png is missing

In the config file I have:

skinFolder = "zixed";

It seems it doesen't read the value ("//" ?).
I'm on CF 3.52M33-u4.

EDIT: Is this compatible only with 3.90 (I noticed only now in the readme you talk aboit kernel 3.90)?

Many thanks.

I love the way this shell looks. Nice and sleek.

[thecobra]

look nice

[Red_Squirrel]

This is the best alternative shell on the scene
Really really good, congrats

[Muhie]

Very nice job ! Good replacement off IRShell .

I hope you keep updating it

[bounty-hunter]

I can help you do GFX if you want, this is my album

[jantunes]

Very good shell. I'm going to use this for a while. The only thing I noticed is that you can only have a maximum of 15 games (just 1 page) and I have more than that, so I have to fill the Applications with games but if I eventually also fill the Applications, It's impossible to boot the games that didn't make it to the list.

btw, any chance of a plugin to boot this at startup?

[nicodemus82]

looks nice. will give it a try.. thnx

[M33_User]

Nice Shell. But this isn't better than NervOS but good job. I love the setup of this.

[Alfx]

Here's my skin for MyPspMenu.

At first I made it for me but then I thought that some of you guys might like it.

It looks like this.

thnx for sharing the skin. it looks nice

[halokilla77]

Does this not work properly on 3.80 M33-5? It installed fine for me, but on the first left 2 icons (games and emulators) it's blank for me and I know I have files in there?

The shell looks really nice btw!

[maxexcloo]

Probably one of the best looking shells for the PSP!

Keep up the great work!

[alfatreae]

Tested on 3.90 M33 and get the same splash.png missing. What could be be cause? Looks interesting though.
Is the text position hardcoded or does it get shifted along with the png's?

[Cpasjuste]

Yes all is hardcoded, so the "mypspmenu" folder must be in the "game" folder and not be renamed.

I will maybe put all the stuff in a folder at the root of the memory stick then just add a loader to the game folder, so it could be renamed.

[alfatreae]

Well it works now, no renaming .

I do have a couple of suggestions for easier use though.

Put in an option to scan a directory for a category that way you can just mass add a folder and if needed edit details later

Put an option to edit the details of an "app" icon (triangle to edit details), change name, icon, category. If you can tag an app you can than move all tagged to a directory. You could also check for changes on scanned folder and offer to add/edit the new content.
An option for predefined (optional auto-add apps) would be nice too.

This just from the quick look, I'll give some more input once I've have used it some more. The changes I suggested should be easy and make it much easier to manage content, which at the moment seems to be the strongest and weakest part of the shell.

All in all, I can't wait for a new version.

For a bigger change a flexible skinning system, so that you can change positions/sizes and come up with completely different layouts would be very nice as well.

[ricosuavez]

this is a great shell...very promissing...i am an irshell user and this is the first

alternative shell that really got me hooked ...very stylish...and pretty easy to

theme(skins) and configure... and autoboot feature would be nice and a good

alarm clock(like irshell) would complete very well this shell...

merci(thanks) and keep updating....

p.s. everything works exept the umd (game)...it loads and freezes on black screen: disc0:/psp_game/sysdir/eboot.bin
umd
222
umd mode enabled


i have tried different umd titles with the same result ...do i have to enable something in recovery? i have a psp slim cf 390 m33-3 and irshell 390 and patch applied(to launch iso's) ...and why is it running at 222... i have set everything to 333(default)...and it still runs at 222...
maybe my settings are incorrect ....any idea welcome
for the moment i am working on a skin and the umd i can launch from the xbm
... the rest works just great...iso pso emulators(gameboy,snes) and all my applications.... ...my psp loves it...

here are some skins from solla-elf and me

her is the link http://www.sendspace.com/file/0ty6ev









thanks to h2l29 for your help on the sounds....

Yes, some nice skins would be great indeed.
Next version (not the next one) will have a better skin support.

I will propably improve the maximum items by section in a next version.

This is a lot of work, but it's should be done in the future (no ETA).

For the homebrews cpu clock, it's almost normal, most homebrew use theire own custom cpuspeed. For iso/cso, it should work.

For the umd loader, it's possible that i have broke something, i didn't try it since i while, i'll take a look.


Ps : Thanks to all of the pspupdates users, for your support, help, report etc ...
Stay tunned for the next release

[tophead420]

Just wanted you to know Cpasjuste it works fine on 3.80 m33-5. And good work, been wanting a new shell for a while now, Though I would like to see a windows style desktop shell like the old Artillery shell believe thats what it was. But none the less great work. One thing this needs is a good music player.

[acer5050]

I'm running 4.01M33-2 and I cannot see any of my homebrew :/ I'd like to use nethostfs it does load that thank god But sadly once I try to use it I cannot launch an eboot. can you help me?

[clay_FR]

To add an homebrew or iso/cso to a section go to the filer and press X on the eboot, after you can choose a section, cpu etc... I haven't test nethost on 4.01 M33, but there was some problem on 3.90 M33. Don't forget too that MyPspMenu it's code to run on 3.90 M33 only, some things can be broken.

[alfatreae]

Here's a simple skin I made, streamlined and sleek.

No screenshot as I don't know how to do them from mypspmenu.

Inspired by four impressions AMANA Desktop Suite.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/8oplop

I'll do a v2 with some little tweaks ans repositioning of some elements, for now this is it.

[Torch]

Best looking shell yet. I wonder if theres a way to easily to include the XMB wave in the background without reprogramming the wave effect from scratch.

The Sony firmware updaters use the 01-12.bmp from flash0, and use the default wave texture thats stored in the updater. (So if you have a custom theme, it will use ur custom 01-12.bmp but with the original wave.)

[MiKeY188]

That is so cool thank you. AWESOME Shell

[MiKeY188]

Also has any one tested on 4.01 m33-2?
