Oh, the stuff we love to hide from you with HideMov BETA II. - Image 1pj1115 recently dropped the latest HideMov build on our laps. HideMov BETA II improves on the first one by adding even more file stealth options for other kinds of files, wider firmware support (hopefully), and an easy install option. Changelog comes before the Download link.

The program is STILL a BETA (hence, the name), there may be some bugs to run into. Oh, and as always, Read the Readme for the instructions, warnings, etc. As to why one would like to stealth some of their files from the XMB... but hey, everyone has their reasons, and not all of them have to do with Memory Sticks and "off-game recreation." Privacy is, after all, a treasured right.

But then, why are you suddenly sweating buckets?

  • Enhanced video hiding (adds VIDEO folder support)
  • Hides Games (GAME, GAME150, GAME303, GAME310)
  • Hides Music
  • Hides Photo
  • Hides Savedata
  • Hides Browser stuff (ie, bookmarks)
  • SHOULD be more compatible with older firmwares (I increased the time that the PRX allowed for other threads to work)
  • Added auto-installer for Windows

 » Feature req: "User Profile" Selection

I like the idea of this plugin, but what I would really like to see is some kind of "User Profile", so I could have 2 or 3 users and have shared folders/files and private folders/files (defined in a config file or with a GUI).... the ideal for me would be select this from recovery menu.

The benefit would be that you can share the PSP and each user would have their own set of private files.

 » Still doesn't work :(

It still doesn't seem to work for me, I'm on 3.03 OE-C because you can't change the XMB icons in 3.10 OE-A'.

If you could get it to work with 3.03 OE-C, that'd be great.

use a psp file management tool and simply rename the directory, that'll prevent videos/pictures/music, etc... from appearing in the menu. that's all this prx does.

nice job, but it deletes the savedata and could you make it not hide psx savedata, cuz if u mess with psx savedata, then the game data will be corrupted

 » ...

This works alright... You hafta disable it to watch the files. But let say if you were trying to open a movie file when its locked it will say no file/video. When you disable the protection, you will have to click on another thing i.e. Music. then go back and click video and it will show it...like the readme says it caches it onto the psp memory.

If someone is having a problem getting pass the black screen... try disabling all the plugins. A few pluygins i tried wont work with this. for example the quick power, it uses the Home + L/Home+R to change the britness settings. and it just wont boot togeher

create a seplugins folder in the root of the memory stick (where the folder PSP is.)

then inside that create a .txt called vsh in the seplugin folder. And in that vsh.txt type in
ms0:/seplugins/module.prx
and save it, then put in that module.prx program in that seplugins folder and hold R when booting up and enable that plugin.

hey man it still doesnt work... i created a seplugins folder in the root of the mem stik and put in the module.prx file and the VSH.txt file and it still doesnt work...

Did you had
ms0:/seplugins/module.prx
in the vsh.txt and did u enable the plugin, by holding R while turning it on to go to recovery mode. then click plugins then click on the button(capture.prx [VSH]) there to enable it?

it didnt hide pictures here. just savegames and /games folder.

and it dont work when i boot all my plugins too.

and also i have 2 rename one folder myself lol

i can hide savegames OR games not booth together and one is leaved with the bad name so it didnt load after deleting the .prx


good idea but didnt work proper here :/




   Re: asdaf (Unregistered) - 2007-02-27
 » qweq

yea...it was a good idea...only real problem was psp remembers that there is no files in video and when u enable it it will still remember so u will have to click on a different icon first which makes it really innoying. and also since this is still beta its really really buggy.

 » Hm...

Oh well I still hope it will be improved but keep up the good work!... I hope it's compatible with 3.03 OE-C soon... A really good piece of plug-in to hide my stuff if I send my PSP in for servicing again and when the fellows check out my PSP before saying the price of repair... Aside from that hiding my videos would be great...

Wait does it work on 3.03 OE-C yet? And doe the MP3 Plug-in work on 3.10 OE if it does I'll just update...

4. GAME150 showing as GAME15O

 » Don't like it? Eff off.

This is a beta for us to test out. The author would appreciate if you can give insights and comments rather than flaming him.

If you can do better, come up with the plugin yourself asswipe.

   by pj1115 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-27
 » Ack.

As George said, it's a BETA. And yes, it does rename the folders, that's what makes the PSP NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THEM. Are you stupid?

Second of all, I never said it would work with older firmwares, I only stated that I had made efforts to increase compatibility with older firmwares. This is buggy, yes.

And I'm getting help from another Dev about writing to the memory.

No working for you? Try a different way.
Don't appreciate my work? F*ck off.

pj1115,

my usb dosnt seem to work with the prx enabled
i cant go into any homebrew from the xmb
(i.e DEVHOOK from locationfree
RECOVERY from network update etc.)
also i found that my savegames are locked when when i unlock everything else
and when i lock everything... my savegames appear again
:S weird

none-the-less... awesome work... i shall be using this extensivly... all your time and effort is much appreciated
(at least by me :P)

 » Forgot a few folders to hide

The folders that ARE hidden are the:

ms0:/PSP/PHOTO
ms0:/PSP/MUSIC
ms0:/PSP/GAME (and the 150, 303, 310 whatever)
ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/BROWSER
ms0:/MP_ROOT

But there are also others that arent renamed:

ms0:/VIDEO
ms0:/PICTURE
ms0:/MUSIC

The SAVEDATA is switched the wrong way around. When hiding, the module renames it the correct way. And when unlocking, it gets renames the wrong way.

 » Yeah

I noticed that, and thought I did something wrong. Glad I'm not the only one to notice that.
   by ultimate-psp (Unregistered) - 2007-02-27
 » keep up the work...

yeah like i said earlier its a good idea expect the massive bugs. like not booting anymore, leaving the the changed + a couple left folders 2 hide.

u can also use pspfiler and rename rfolders urself.

works same as the plugin. not so fast with a button combo but its done in 15 seconds so no deal i think.

and u need no plugin.prx just rename ur pictures to Xpictures as example.

and i like that it dont write 2 flash anyway.

im on 3.03 btw!

keep up the work its a nice feature when it works proper!
