PSP homebrew - Image 1Homebrew developer Poison has come out with an updated version of HostCore. If you recal our post from a couple of days ago, HostCore is a module that "bridges" your PC and PSP together, allowing you to access music, video, and games on your PC via your PSP.

This new version, 1.1, boasts support for custom firmware 3.80M33. It also includes the bugfixes detailed below:
  • improve wifi compatibility in playing game(bug #0008 some games might not start on wifi mode due to some user memory issues fixed).
  • fix bug #0007(randomly fail on loading eboot.bin with error 0x80010013 [SCE_ERROR_ERRNO_ENODEV])
  • fix bug #0009 (crash on exiting some games)
HostCore 1.1 works on both Phat and Slim PSPs running custom firmware 3.80M33+. You'll also need either usbhostfs or nethostfs, both of which can be downloaded here. Please remember to look through the readme file included in the download before you install HostCore.

3.80 M33-5 will be loaded on my PSP until something worthwhile comes around.

who cares if it has support for 3.80 M33-5, everyone has already updated to 3.90 M33-3 except NeilR, who is probably to lazy to do so.

As previously noted this program does not support wpa encryption. It will crash your psp if you try to use it with wpa. Second here is a simple tutorial on how to set it up. First open the tar.gz file (use winrar). After that open the release folder and hook up your psp to your computer. drag the folder called Hostcore to the root of your psp. the folder structure is like this ms0/:Hostcore. After that go to the folder called seplugins. If there is no folder make one. open the text file called vsh.txt. again if there is none make one. add this line to the vsh.txt file ms0:/HostCore/hostcore.prx. Open the Hostcore folder again and look for a file called config.txt. Open it and change only 2 values. First Change where you see password "12345678" to password "". Second change Number of your PSP connection entry
Connection "1" to whatever the connection number. If you do not know go to your psp and scroll to network settings go to infrastructure and count the location of your network (do not count the first "New connection"). Put that number into number of your psp connection entry. Now reboot the PSP and hold the R-trigger. Go to plugins and under Hostcore hit X. Select exit and reboot PSP. Start nethost or usbhost on your computer. Once the PSP is booted up Hit the note button on your psp and press left or right to select your connection. You should be finished. If you have any questions let me know

PIMPStreamer does exactly the same thing WITH WEP Encryption...Why bother with this?

HostCore works with WEP, too. It's just WPA that's the problem. Also, as I recall, PiMPStreamer only works for media streaming. HostCore emulates your whole memory stick, including ISO and PSP/GAME folders.

Tried it with some videos last night. Aside from stuttering (I blame my wireless network), it worked pretty well. I'll try it with ISOs, etc later.
