Hello Arnold,
First I must say, what an amazing Shell your been working on, and such effort your putting into it! Lol I think you've won my vote.
I was wondering if this Shell had it's own unique browser? Something that surpasses the PSP's own browser?

I have always wished for that too. However, the official browser's lack of functionality is really limited by the PSP hardware.
I will look into other options for the browser though since so many people are suggesting it.

Alright I hope you get it another suggestion.. do you think you could add a Facebook type of app in there?

How about a text editor to edit .lua and .txt files?

That would make it super cool

@ Zasisem,

Audio player first priority.

@ ASKidwai,

Why don't you release a 'distro' of SHELL with text editors, e.g. PSPWrite, etc. built in?
Call it the "TextEdSHELL" distro.
It's easy really with SHELL LINKS.
I do it for some friends who just use PSP to play games and their 'distro' contains emulators in SHELL LINKS.

Be creative.

Ah, OK.
All I need to do is make a few shell links and(?)

I'm sorry but the readme isn't all that clear

3 EASY STEPS TO MAKING A SHELL DISTRO!

1. Add the homebrews you want into a folder within the SHELL folder. e.g. ms0:/SHELL/EMUDISTRO with folders for each emulator.

ms0:/SHELL/EMUDISTRO/gpsp
ms0:/SHELL/EMUDISTRO/dx64
ms0:/SHELL/EMUDISTRO/cpsp
etc.

2. Create SHELL LINKS (with any text editor such as notepad) and put them into User Favourites folders in the SHELL folder. i.e. ms0:/SHELL/User Favourites/sample_link.shlk

A sample SHLK is this:

Code: Select all

[SHELL_LINK] 
version=1 
title=gpSP 
path=ms0:/SHELL/EMUDISTRO/gpsp/EBOOT.PBP 
argc=0 
argp=0 
icon=ms0:/SHELL/EMUDISTRO/gpsp/EBOOT.PNG 

You must have an icon for the SHELL LINK!

Save the file with .shlk extension. e.g. gpsp-original-v9.shlk

3. Test that it all works in SHELL!

Of course, optionally, you can then release it! (We hope you do though )


Someone should make a constantly maintained SHELL Distro that contains Genesis Competition Entries.

How to load plugins in SHELL in 3 SIMPLE Steps

1. Copy the plugin (some CFW ones may work, this may include remotejoy Someone test it please) to anywhere you want in the same device you installed SHELL. (ms0)

2. Open the file ms0:/SHELL/plugins.txt

3. Edit the file like seplugins with the path to the plugin followed by the state (0 = off, 1 = on) and save.

e.g.

Code: Select all

ms0:/seplugins/shellclock.prx 1

Start up SHELL and there you have it!

Note: Not all Custom Firmware plugins will be compatible. Many should be compatible. Developers are encouraged to use the SDK to develop plugins for SHELL.

Have fun!
