PSP - Image 1What is the PRX Launcher v0.4 for all 3.XX OE? It's Team XK's contribution to the homebrew community which is a plugin which can launch an eboot from an icon, that's what!

But unlike the previous releases, you will find that there have been some new stuff added or tweaked (duh, that's why it's a new version). So, in this file, there are 5 prx identified as (deep breath) HBx.prx (x=1 .. 5). Each HBx launch ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/HBx/EBOOT.PBP.

theketchupman explains that it's been put in the System folder because you won't see the file in the Game menu on vsh. Now, for you to get it running, you'll have to rename the hbx into a plugin name, and then flash it to your PSP. If you think you need more of them prx, then hexedit the path of the HB to launch.

As for the important things you need to know, there are three:

  • not capable of launching kxploit homebrew (you'll need to use 1.00 hb)
  • no compatibility issues with SCEP
  • some hb (like snesxstyl) may have problems -- but only a few
And then there are those danged bugs. He says that "It seems you can't launch any Eboot that uses/modifies the flash (liek PSPFiler for example); it's because we can't get this PRX to work in kernel mode under 3.40 OE..."

So, to sum it up, the PRX Launcher v0.4 is now working on 3.30 and 3.40 OE, and although it's only been tested on 3.40 OE, it should work nicely with 3.30 OE.

Got it? Good. Now pick it up and thank theketchupman over at our forums.

like so you can modify it so you can launch a homebrew app from an icon. For example say you could make it so when you click Network Update it launches whatever homebrew is in the folder PSP/GAME/APP1

 » 1.0 type eboot

So how do i make an 1.0 type eboot from a kxploited 1.50 HB? I tried to fuse the eboot from boths folders (something + something%) with PSPBrew... but it doesn't seem to work. I tried using just the eboot from the "something" path, not from the "something%", but that doesn't work either.

Strangly enough, my own lil homebrew project, that i built myself to a non kxploited eboot does work.

what is meant in the article when it says, "you'll have to rename the hbx into a plugin name, and then flash it to your PSP. If you think you need more of them prx, then hexedit the path of the HB to launch."?
the questions I have are:
1. why rename the hbx?
2. how does one rename the hbx file into a plugin?
3. what constitutes a plugin name?
4. and how exactly does one hexedit the path of the HB?
I'm new to the whole homebrew( could it be more obvious?) scene and any help would be appreciated.
