Want your PC to have more say in your PSP action? Brew developer WeeJeWel (aka VirusEXE in the QJ boards) has just released Yet Another PSP Toolkit (YAPT) v1.0 for your consumption. This PC-based application features some of the more common tools you guys may have used to customize your PSP, only that they are now available in one package. Here are some of the more important features you may want to take note of:
  • ISO compressing
  • PSX compressing with full XMB preview
  • XMB customization (e.g. custom icons and stuff)
  • Custom plugins (PRX) manager
  • Some cool windows tweaks (eg right click convert)
  • USBhost redirection with keypad
  • NEThost redirection with keypad
  • Registry backup/restore tool
There are more goodies available in the app - just try it out and see what happens. To get the file running, unload the bundle and double-click the app inside. As the screenshot implies, the Windows Vista GUI works on all Windows versions. Make sure to keep updated in case VirusEXE decides to update this into something even better. We thank the dude for this attempt, and suggest the guys here check out the other PC-based apps that could complement this brew.

 » not again

another example of improperly documented homebrew.
not a single version number of what firmware it works or doesnt work on, and i bet theres no self-checks to prevent something stupid occuring.

once again, thankyou DA, for recovery mode. you provide a forcefield against wanna be developers :)

 » Like i said previously

This app sux - Why?

Because it's another example of improperly documented homebrew.

There is not a single version number of what firmware it works or doesnt work on, what a waste of time.

My advice, stick to browsing gay news cos your coding sucks more than michael jackson!!!

 » Badly Executed Rush Job

This app is obviously a rush job. When converting PSX titles, the resulting .pbp is placed one directory higher of the intended destination. The XMB preview DOES NOT WORK. There is obviously an issue, as the .png assigned for the background image also shows up as the icon, leading to a very messy and nearly unusable XMB.

Of course, this is assuming that it works at all. Half the time the resulting .pbp won't work at all, and another quarter of the time none of the assigned .png's show up at all.

I recommend using something like AutoPopstation4, as it has been programmed better and is easier to use. Although it doesn't have a GUI, the text command prompt will hold your hand through all of the steps, so if you can't use it, you pretty much don't need to be playing PSX titles on your PSP.

Hahaha you just got pwnd :P Why? It uses autopopstation binary files so it does THE SAME as autopops. does! I will look at the directory higher part (which is nearly impossible since ive tested it many times) but i guess ill fix that in the next version.

 » Awesome Tool

Have had NO issues using this with 3.10oe-a'
keep in mind that 3.10 oe of ANY KIND CANNOT MODIFY THE XMB! DO NOT TRY TO USE THE XMB FEATURES IF YOU USE THIS WITH 3.10!!!!!!!!!!

However, this is by FAR the easiest tool I've found that does almost everything from nethost to compressing/converting psxpsp and umdpsp.

If someone knows of a toolkit that DOES EVERYTHING YAPT does, point me to it and I'll stand corrected. Until then, shut up and try it.

Thanks for your comment! But what you're saying is not completely true.. 3.10OE can be customized, only not the icons (topmenu_plugin) :)
