HostCore 1.0

Many hardcore PlayStation Portable owners enjoy turning their handhelds into virtual extensions of their PCs. To help these enthusiasts out, homebrew developer Poison was able to devise a module which "bridges" your PC contents to your PSP with HostCore 1.0.

By synching the two devices, you can browse through your PC's contents for music, games, and video directly from the XMB. This can be done either through a USB connection or even through an AdHoc wireless connection through a Wi-Fi router.

To give you a better idea of the different features of HostCore 1.0, here's a short list of its capabilities:

1.0:

* play ISO/CSO games in Normal mode(need UMD) via wifi.
* no UMD mode support.

before 1.0:

* play media files locate in PC via USB.
* play ISO/CSO games in Normal mode(need UMD) via USB.
o fix bug #0003(show double items of the same file in XMB menu)
o fix bug #0001(photo show as corrupted data)
* access photos locate in PC via Wifi.
o fix bug #0004(crash on photo slideshow)
o fix bug #0002(wrong metadata)
* play video via Wifi.
o fix bug #0005(crash on video playing)
* add a mini UI to switch USBHost/NetHost on.
o fix bug #0006(icon corrupted up).
* add a config file to store setting.

To run the module, make sure that your PSP has custom firmware 3.90 M33 installed. You can then either start usbhostfs_pc if your PC is connected to your handheld through a USB cable or use nethostfs_pc if it makes use of a Wi-Fi router. This will ensure that the bridge connection between the two devices will be successful.

After copying the entire HostCore folder into your memory stick, make sure you change the values found in the conf.txt file to match the appropriate directory structure found on the hosting PC.
