Announcing wMenu (and HBL rev92)
Just when you thought the weekend couldn’t get any better, here’s a new revision of HBL. It only fixes a few minor issues (mainly, a memory leak in some cases), but I wanted those fixes to be in before I announced my side project for HBL: wMenu.
We, the dev team of HBL decided to not accept bug reports for the menu as part of bugs of the HBL. This is why we moved the menu as a separate application, to allow the HBL project to be free of any user interface. This should allow several menus to appear in time, and this will allow users to choose the interface they like. wMenu is my humble contribution to this, and hopefully you’ll like it. From now on, I’ll include it in my “distrib” compiled versions of HBL. I will not include it in the dev version, because it is currently slower than the default menu.
Tell me what you think 🙂
Download HBL R92 and wMenu on the HBL download page, as usual.
wMenu is compatible with HBL 91 although HBL92 (or above, if you read this in the future) is recommended.
cool, wonderful and faster than rev91 😉
Cool, I haven’t tried some of the older versions but I’ll give this one a go.
Keep up the good work guys!
Love the last Wagic update. 🙂
Thanks you Wololo.
Very nice menu!
Hope you could solve the memory leak problem very soon!!
Thank you for this!!
Thanx wololo !!
Great release !!
Keep it up !!
cool, thanks for the effort, wololo and the rest of the team
can you change the background image to some other one?
@Justin: yes
Thank you Wololo for returning back to homebrew directory read out. It makes the menu so much neater. THANKS!!
Side note: it seems to be working great on my 3K1 6.20. 🙂
How do i create my own font file for the menu? is it possible? pls reply…
how do you do a screenshot of the screen psp?
the background looks better if you put the black screen with the HBL logo, only my opinion 🙂
c’mon you can do better than that its awful hbl team step ur game up.
Hey wololo, Can’t you make it loads like the XMB screen ?!
I mean to load ICON0.PNG and PIC1.PNG (and PIC0.PNG) from the EBOOT.PBP file and display them as they are displayed in XMB Game menu ??!
Also the ICON1.PMF as a video when a homebrew is highlighted ??! SND0.AT3 sound when it’s highlighted too ?!
I know it requires alot of free memory which is unavailable in user mode .. But what if HBL frees memory each time a homebrew is loaded ?! And each time it’s unloaded (exited) ?!!
It can be much nicer if these things are applied 🙂
Thank you all developers of HBL..
Hey just wondering what version of daedalus is that on the menu. I heard beta 3 works but im unable to although I only tried once back in 85. And I know about salvee edit for hbl that crashs into gameplay. Im using rev 14
Let me clear that up im using rev 14 of daedalus and im talking about beta 3 of daedalusx64
Good job as always. 😀
ok sorry to ask this again but i know the hbl can run hellcats recovery flasher. it goes to the menu and everything is fine. i know if u try do downgrade with it your psp will brick but there isan option to make your battery to pandora using hellcat. if i do that will my psp brick. and does making your psp to pandora require kernel access. i have a 1000 but im stuck with the unhackable 110 battery
@sonic: constructive criticism is welcome. For basic insults like yours, I think you can go to facebook or other cool places kids go these days. I’m the kind of guy who listens to his users’ feedback, but I hate gratuitous insults. Be constructive or get lost.
Sweet menu! Thanks bunch.
Gracias hermano todo te esta quedando de lujo.
Sigue adelante MENTE MAESTRA que todos aqui admiramos tu trabajo.

Please read my last comment :

By the way.. Each time a reversion is released, I try to run WTH.. R92 is the FIRST one that could load WTH on my PSP300 with Version 6.20..
This is awesome, keep up the good work!
Is there a place where ppl can send requests of homebrew games that they would like to see working with hbl?
Neat stuff wololo, but tell us are there any plans for future releases of HBL that might support CFWenabler and/or GEm-B? or is it “Get lost you filthy pirate” jazz all over again?
@Spock
Wololo said ” I am not especially against iso loaders. I am against piracy but I believe those are two separate things.” http://wololo.net/wagic/2010/05/25/can-half-byte-loader-run-isos/
He also said “it is not “because wololo or m0skit0 or ab5000 are against isos on their exploit" that no iso loader is made available through the Patapon exploit. It is because it is not technically doable.”
CFW enabler and Homebrew ENabler (HEN) need kernel access (flash0 full access) which needs a kernel exploit ! wololo’s one isn’t (it’s a user mode exploit) .. And I believe wololo’s doing great with his exploit .. I mean that’s the best anyone can ever do..
Is it too much to ask forpicodrave with sound or a desent Daedalusx?
Sorry if i sound like a beggar.
But great job with the updateds on hbl!
sorry i meant “PICODRIVE”
Im working on CFW right now, its not an easy task please be
patient.
What psp model and firmware?
well its not really CFW, its modify version of the official 6.20.
I like to call it OFW 6.20.2
Team eld is a j0ke.. I believe
What is the problem? Start or circumvent the protection of the flash?
But very good menu.Thank you
how to capture of psp screen?
Thanks,great menu 😀
keep it up!
Thanks wololo & iSWORD for the explanation..but tell me isn’t your HBL similar to Davee’s ChickHEN? I mean iirc when he released ChickHEN Davee said that it was user mode too..if so then there is still a chance right?
Regardless I really admire your attitude towards piracy. I mean, I’m not a representative of Worldwide Piracy Inc. but I own many PSP as well as PC titles. Those PC titles that do not have an online activation that allows one to play without the DVD inserted, I always use a no-dvd executable. Heck I bought the game and its my fckn decision how I wish to play it, and thats NOT piracy. I just wanted the same option to be available for my PSP games..o well, still hopeful. Keep up the good work.
Well when it comes to ISO and .BIN loading, it doesnt have to be a UMD game. For example, i have loads of old PS1 games (which were bought from a shop and are not copys) and a great number of them dont and never will have a PSP/Playstation Store release. One game i have is Echo Night and it’s ultra rare (cost me $150 just to get an English version) and i know that it will never get a Playstation Network release for PSP. The only way i can play it on PSP is with a ISO/BIN loader. I saw in the advance.tk forum that a loader works partially on HBL without the need for kernel access, the compatibility was 5 as it did crash for a reason that i forget. So it seems it is possible, but when and how it will work? I dont know.
wait ive seen this on the website tom 2.3.5 but what does it do exactly i used it but i dont get what is does can someone explain
@ToonsFtw? Its a homebrew loader. This allows people who upgraded to 6.20 to play eumulators and various other homebrew using the Patapon 2 exploit.
