PSP Homebrew 1
Page 1 listing of popular homebrew applications. Note: some PSP hacks will be needed to access homebrew code on the PSP.
PSP Hacks: iR Shell
This popular homebrew hack turns the PSP into a powerful Infared trasmitter, capable of controlling many types of IrDA consumer electronics. Furthermore, iR Shell can replace the PSP’s normal XMB interface. The iR Shell GUI is much more powerful, and can multi-task, play MP3’s and overclock the PSP with ease. In addition, the software is able to unzip and unrar files, open PDF files and launch the web browser.
CWCheat Cheating Program
This app allows game players to cheat while playing games loaded from the UMD, memory stick (ISO) or downloaded PSX games. The homebrew app is very similar to the classic Game Genie, or Gameshark. The software is also the only method of converting PSX memory card files into the format used by PC-based PSX emulators. This allows saved game transference from the PC to the PSP
Lua Player
This player runs Lua scripts, and is a popular way to program for the PSP. People have successfully produced games and applications with the Lua programming interface.
Time Machine
This software allows booting of different firmware versions by using the Pandora’s Battery hack.
PSPTube
This popular homebrew app will play Flash video files, like the ones streamed off of Youtube. The app can playback and save videos from such websites as: Stage6, Onsen, YouKu and DailMotion. The homebrew is also capable of searching for videos through keyword inquiry.
Skype
This popular VOIP phone service is now available for all PSP’s. The official software can be downloaded by North American PSP owners.
Homebrew Games
Many homebrew games have been released for the PSP and PSP Slim. These games are normally programmed by independent game developers and are released as downloadable content for the PSP. To run homebrew games, a PSP needs to be hacked to run custom firmware that is able to execute unsigned code. Homebrew games are freeware, or open source, so you do not have to pay any fees to play them.
