If listening to your favorite mp3s while playing UMD Games/homebrews isn't enough for you, you can now stream any files via WiFI or USB to any of your favorite homebrews. Imagine having your whole mp3, movie & photo database on your PC and stream them real time to your PSP via WiFi or USB for unlimited storage and enjoyment. You don't like to convert your movies to PMP format? How about streaming your MP4 movies to Sony's XMB movie player? Having too much fun and can't stop playing your PSP? Well, you can setup an alarm to remind you stop playing. Your favorite shell now gives you all these features at your fingertip, plus a lot more.

Here is a highlight of the new features. For a complete list, refer to the README.TXT for details:

• You can browse your PC harddisk, DVDROM or any other PC storage devices from your PSP via infrastructure WiFi or USB connection and stream files to your homebrew applications. You can even install PSP homebrews on your PC harddisk and launch them on your PSP, just like a huge virtual Memory Stick. 200GB memory stick is now a reality!
  
  
• You can open files directly with a single click via iR Shell file browser, such as PMP movies, PMF movies, Atrac3s, mp3s, photos, text files, PDF files, ZIPs, RARs, etc. These files can reside on your Memory Stick or even on your PC storage device.
  
  
• Launching XMB within iR Shell which allows you to use all features of XMB, plus taking snapshot of it or UMD Video.
  
  
• Alarm clock to remind you important appointments.
  
  
• Low battery voice warning to remind you to recharge your battery before it drys up.

Special thanks to:
- Tyranid for making usbhostfs for PSPLINK.
- Dark Alex for making nethostfs.
- AnonymousTipster for developing the ZIP & RAR Unarchiver Plugin for iR Shell.
- StoneCut for being my favorite beta tester.
- Skydew for providing the new Help image files.
- Triable for making various nice graphics for iR Shell.
- Rangedunits for supplying a free hosting service.
- all original plugin authors.
- all iR Shell beta testers for providing valuable suggestions & counterless hours of testing.

Visit my homepage and follow the instructions to download and install.

[UPDATE]
The nethostfs for Windows & Linux has been updated to take a directory as an argument. For example, the following will allow you to access all drives in your PC. The original usbhostfs already allows directory as argument. If not given, the current directory where you start nethostfs or usbhostfs will be used as the root for your PSP.

Code:

---

nethostfs /cygdrive

---

Make sure your slash is the normal slash '/', not back-slash '\'.

[UPDATE 2, June 24]
The server application usbhostfs & nethostfs have been updated to solve the bug which has caused the directory blank out if there is any file with special characters. Visit my homepage to download the version for your PC server.

Kick anus, been waiting for this... So let me get this straight... The opposite of PSPLink feature (use the PC as a memory stick will mount your HDD as ms0:/? Like that DAXSO thing? If so Im a happy camper!

Oh and i got the 3rd post in a soon to be over 500 post thread just so's you know...

Oh and does this come with preloaded plugins?

Dev Question:

AhMan, say I was making a plugin, what buffer is used to store the filepath, name and all? Is it the argv[1] since almost everyone knows of it as an optional argument in the main program? Thanks for the answers.

Wow.. just wow. Ahman you never cease to amaze me. :) Excellant work.

Yes, you can mount your PC harddisk, CDROMs, DVDROMS, etc, to your PSP via WiFi or USB. It will appear as nethost0: or usbhost0:. You can also enable the redirection, then it will become ms0:. The original ms0: (memory stick) will become ms1:. Don't forget to thank Tyranid & Dark Alex for making the usb & wifi host file system in the first place.

You can place them anywhere you want. The directory where you've placed them will become the root directory for your PSP.

Example, place nethostfs.exe in D:/MYFILES and launching it from there. Your PSP will have access to all files under D:/MYFILES.
