SHELL By Arnold
Graphics Design by A_Nub
For the PSP Genesis Competition and the Sony PlayStation Portable.
Greetings to all PSP owners and Sony.
Here, at Arnold's headquarters, we believe in something creative.
Not necessarily revolutionary, but something never tried.
That is what SHELL aims to do. How?
You. Yes, YOU, the user, and YOU, the developers, all contribute to make
SHELL the BEST. SHELL is about growth and development. So support it and
watch it flourish creating the dream system for every proud
PlayStation Portable owner!
Let's co-operate, join forces and revolutionise the PSP!
Works on PSP 1000, PSP 2000 (+ extended RAM) , PSP 3000 (+ extended RAM), PSP GO (+ extended RAM + Multi-Device Support)
------------------------------
Two and a half years in the making.
Thousands of lines of code.
One step further than Custom Firmware.
This.is.it
We believe this is what "make.believe" stands for when Sony say that.

(Yes, daedalusx32 is correct.)
