iR Shell byAhMan is a shell application for PSP.

Changes:

– Support Dark_AleX latest 5.00M33-3 CFWs. Users of original 5.00M33 & M33-2 should upgrade to M33-3 to avoid incompatibility issues. The latest Popsloader 5.00 is also supported.
– An Infra-Red learning remote is added for PSP Phat. You no longer need to hunt pronto codes for your appliances. Just point your remote unit at the PSP and it will learn the iR code. It is available under higher firmwares and not fw 1.5 mode. Refer to the Release Note for usage details.
– The nethostfs connection handling has been redesigned to be more robust. However, iR Shell 4.7 and onwards can only connect to the new nethostfs PC server v2.1. Make sure you’ve updated the nethostfs PC server.
– Enhance UMD/ISO game compatibility via nethostfs MAX mode. Most previous failed games will probably work.
– Usbhostfs & nethostfs host redirection under XMB has returned.
– The Adhoc PC connection for nethostfs was broken since fw 3.71. This feature has been brought back for PSP Phat.

sol_hsa released the source code of his racing game Nelumbo.

Quote:

Since this project has officially stalled, I’m posting the source code (as is), so if someone wants to pick it up and poke at it, they got no objection from me. I might continue this project at some point, but no promises.

Dox was working on a Gameboy DMG game for one of the previous PDRoms Coding Competitions, but the game never got done, nor did it had any big publicity as work in progress news.

But here we go… just few days ago Dox posted an update, which we will gladly quote…

Quote:

Finally, after long break i’m working again on one of my old “afterwork” projects – a Gameboy Mono (DMG) game. The gfx (made by Adam ) is almost done. Also audio part (by ne7 ) is completed. The most important element – code – is (still … ) missing. Only the basic skeleton is done.

Thanks to Dox himself for the hint!
