iR Shell 1.4 Released The multi-tasking iR Shell finally gets a face lift. Besides playing UMD game while listening to your favorite mp3 and doing adhoc WiFi file transfer simultaneously, you can now choose your own custom skin. This is a major update to iR Shell with many new features added.
iR Shell with various skins
List of new features:
1. Added support for user defined skins. Finally, you can get rid of the RED background with your own custom skin. Refer to the Configurator section for details.
2. Added Game Save Viewer for viewing game save details. This will useful for locating the specific game save and send it via adhoc WiFi to your friends PSP before a adhoc battle.
3. DIR View has been enhanced to work as a real file browser with file size and free space left.
4. Added File Manipulation functions, including Delete, Rename & Create Directory. These functions may work differently according to the current views you're on. Example, if you're under "DIR View", rename will allow you to rename the actual file or directory. If you're under "APP View", rename will rename the Application Name embedded within the EBOOT.PBP file. Note, the Delete function is extremely powerful as it allows deleting a complete directory tree. If you delete "ms0:/PSP, then all your homebrews, photos, music & gamesave will be gone. Use it cautiously. To protect accidental deletion, you can use Configurator to add password to protect the use of File Manipulation functions.
5. Added support on RunUMD.
6. Added a Configurator program to support vaious customization and skin browsing.
7. Added password protection on iR Shell usage. You can customize it under Congigurator. You can also manally lock iR Shell by pressing Right Trigger + Circle. The default password is NULL, that is, just press START for enter.
8. The previous versions of Adhoc WiFi file transfer has a poor performance on Sony Memory Stick. This new version will boost the Sony MS speed to be on par with Sandisk. Thanks to AnonymousTipster for suggesting the fix.
9. A new central iR Shell directory is added, you should move the corresponding files to the new directory:
- ms0:/IRSHELL : main iR Shell cental directory
- ms0:/IRSHELL/SKINS : for putting various skins
- ms0:/IRSHELL/IRCODES : all IR Codes (RDF files) should be moved to here
- ms0:/IRSHELL/HOMEBREW : homebrew dir has been moved from /PSP/GAME/HOMEBREW to here. You should place a valid EBOOT.PBP here to be launched with Right Analog shortcut.
- ms0:/IRSHELL/SNAPSHOT : snapshot directory has been moved from /PSP/SNAPSHOT to here.
Configurator:
A new Configurator program is added which allows various customization as follows:
1. Setting of CPU Speed between 100, 222, 266 & 333.
2. Choice of various date format display.
3. To show or hide IR Remote Sub-directories under iR Remote View (RDF View).
4. Customize the pre-defined homebrew name for Right Analog Pad. If not defined, it will say "Launch Predefined Homebrew". The pre-defined homebrew directory is now moved from /PSP/GAME/HOMEBREW/EBOOT.PBP to /IRSHELL/HOMEBREW/EBOOT.PBP.
5. Enable Password Mode to allow prompting of password upon iR Shell startup.
6. Enable Password Protection for accessing "File Manipulation" functions.
7. Enable Password Protection for accessing Configurator.
8. Change the current password. You'll be prompted for the original password. If you haven't defined any password, the default is NULL (just press start for old password).
9. Skin Browser allows you to choose 1 of the prefined skins. Press CROSS the preivew skin and follow on-screen instructions to install. Each skin is compose of 5 files as follow:
- irshell.bmp : iR Shell Main Menu Background
- ircomm.bmp : iR Remote Default Background (default background will be display when no other bitmap defined for the remote)
- irscfg.bmp : iR Configurator Background
- color.def : Color definition file. Use any text editor to make changes to color value. All color values are in RGB.
- color.cfg : After making changes to the color.def file, you'll need to compile it and generate this color.cfg by going to the preview skin mode and press CIRCLE. The color.cfg will be the one used by iR Shell during runtime.
All bitmap files can either be 256 color or 24-bit color with resolution of 480 x 272.
