Yossi Starz has released his LUA Ys-OS version 1.0. Ys-OS is the first multi-processing shell written in Lua scripting language. Basically, that means you can run multiple programs on it at the same time. I have to say, this one is really cool to see. I opened an explorer window, a star field demo and a png image in the mean time. The star field was running smoothly as long as it's focused on. The GUI looked highly reliable. Here is the description of this version:


First release YS OS public version 1.0.

Features:
  • Paint program. 
  • Debug console.
  • Sample GUI program.
  • Stars program. 
  • Wallpapers
  • PNG Viewer (no more then 512X512).
  • File explorer
  • Basic menus on PNG Viewer.
  • Basic start menu.
How to use
In order to move the mouse use the analog stick or the d-pad for slower movement.
In the file browser use the L and R keys in order to Scroll the files.
In the Image viewer use the Circle button to get into a menu in order to set backgrounds.
X - left Mouse button key.
O - Right Mouse button key.
To load files press one click on the icon.

You will need Lua Player to run this game on your PSP.

Thanks for the email and the release, Yossi Starz!

view photos and listen to music at the same time. Makes it look a bit nicer I guess. On IR Shell there is wifi file tranfer and also the ability to play brew and listen to music at the same time.

I dont hope it will include any things relieable on 2.0 FW, since that would make it difficult to make it run on FW 2.6.

Perhaps IR support and or USB.

I agree :b with the poster above me, but I think that it is very promising being the only working 2.01+shell! Keep up the good work!

God it gets so old seeing poeple using the word noobie all the time :P....God didn't die so you can be superior :P. ANYWAY, glad to see this type of stuff coming along so good, and keep up the good work to those who actually do something instead of whining like most people.
