Everyone keeps saying IRshell is the best homebrew software ever made but - why?

I want to know why is it good for someone like me thaty doesn't use PSX games nor ISO via USB and has a Slim PSP 3.71 M33-3 installed.


Thank you all in advance,
BTFan

I wouldn't say "the greatest" but it's up there.
I personally like it because everything is right there. Plus it's all about multi-tasking which comes in handy if your trying to upload homebrew with your web browser and trying to unzip it at the same time and many other things such as playing your homebrew with your music playing in the background. IRshell comes with an unzipper text reader ect but it doesn't have a text editor a shame. If your a person (BTFan) that doesn't use PSX games or ISO's you'd probably use it for the same reason as i do...the ability to use a universal multi-task ranging from playing music while adding files to your PSP to going to the XMB in the middle of a game to check your system info. ANYTHING. :) hope i helped.

Example, so you want to play your UMD game online but you hate the music , but in IRshell you can listen to your own music while playing the game and you can mute JUST the game audio so all you hear is your music. Another example: so you want to quickly watch a movie but not leave IRshell because your transferring files to your PSP through IRshell so all you have to do is launch XMB and go to the movies and there, watching a movie while getting files on your PSP.

Here is everything it can do. (Taken from the IRShell forums)

* Do basic shell functions:
--Launch homebrew
--Launch UMD
--Enter usb mode
--Exit back to shell from homebrew/umd
--Be a file browser
--Give date/time/battery info display
* Be an IR remote for over 2000 devices (and I think it's over 6000 devices if you download more than just the remote on the website)
* Take screenshots of homebrew, UMD, XMB, pretty much everything
* View images (.bmp, .jpg, .png)
* Be an MP3 player that can run in the background of your UMDs and homebrew, has basic functions like pause/play, stop, next, previous, volume +/-, can make playlists
* Change CPU speed (even for launched games/homebrews)
* Switch between launched homebrew or UMD and iR Shell (to change your MP3 playlist or view a photo, or check battery status, or send a file to another PSP or something like that--all of that and more can be done in the background while another app is running)
* Transfer files to another PSP via Ad Hoc connection
* Be Skinnable
* Run file manipulation functions (copy, paste, delete, rename) even between the memory stick and usbhost or nethost.
* Open a Configurator which lets you customize things like default CPU speed, date/time display, skin and put a password on file manipulating or entering the configurator
* Lock the PSP so that a password is needed to continue
* Use PSP headphone remote control for MP3 player functions
* Have support for user plugins (EBOOTS and PRX to run a specific filetype).
* Have support for UMD browsing
* Have support for USB host file system browsing (remotely browse and run files on your PC via USB including music, images, homebrew, isos, psx games, and supported files from plugins)
* Have support for Infrastructure WiFi host (net host) file system browsing (remotely browse and run files on your PC via Infrastructure WiFi including music, images, homebrew, isos, psx games, and supported files from plugins)
* Redirect usbhost or nethost to the memory stick (allows proper homebrew streaming from the PC as well as MP4 streaming)
* Launch the XMB from iR Shell and exit back to it (can do most XMB functions from here except play UMDs and launch homebrew, this is how you stream MP4 movies from your PC when connected and redirected)
* Do alarm clock functions
* Give a low battery warning
* Have built in ISO, CSO and UMD Video ISO loader for launching legally backed up UMDs (can also be streamed from nethost or usbhost)
* Launch PSX games (and they can also be streamed from nethost or usbhost)
* Run the existing plugins (it can open these files): PMP, PMP AVC, AT3, PMF, ZIP, RAR, TXT, PDF, 7Z, OGG, HTM, HTML, LUA, CBR, CBZ and some more. (And don't forget it also has built in viewers/players for MP3, BMP, JPG, and PNG as mentioned before.)
* Use an Ad Hoc internet connection for homebrew or for nethost (it's the only homebrew that can do that)
* Quick exit from any homebrew, UMD, XMB, etc by pressing the Home and Square buttons simultaneously.
* Mute parts (channels) or all of the game audio
* Organize homebrew into subfolders

Can be done without it but there's still some more. Cool app. Thank you all!
