PSP Hacking 101 Episode 19.5: Pro Audio Recorder

Pox from PSP Hacking 101 was first on the comment section to express his approval on Art's extraordinary homebrew called Virtual Tape Recorder. This 'brew allows you to record audio directly into your memory stick instead of being stored in your RAM. This sparked PSP Hacking 101 Team's interest and has turned one good idea into a great one.

Pox and Mitrovarr document how you can turn your PSP into a mean recording machine. All you need is a bit of ingenuity coupled with soldering skills, and you've got yourself a pretty cool mod. If you're not very confident about your soldering skills, then better to find someone that do, because you don't want to miss out on this.

The test recordings yielded very impressive, professional-sounding results. So if you want an inexpensive recording system or just looking for the next hack to try, this instructional video is a must download. Plus the socks theater at the end of the video was rather entertaining.

Thanks a whole lot to Oliver H. for sharing this information.

Launch Lua scripts directly from iR Shell

You may have thought that with the release of iR Shell v2.2 final a few days ago, the program would no longer be updated, thus leaving us with no iR Shell features to look forward to. Well, if you did you were wrong. Kajo5 from the iR Shell forums has released an iR Shell plugin for Lua scripts to launch directly from within iR shell. This means that you no longer have to launch a separate program in order to run Lua games/applications. Here's what Kajo5 said:

"This is my first try to post something so hello everybody.  I created an external EBOOT that loads LUAPLAYER.PBP and automatically launches the lua script selected in iR Shell. I made an external EBOOT and didn't modify the Lua code itself because I think updating and changing Lua versions should be a lot easier now."

This plugin uses Lua Player v0.16 with netlib support which is probably the most stable version of Lua player out at the moment. Just make sure you remember to add the plugin suffix '.lua' and application slot 8 in using iR Shell configurator (press R+Start to run). With so many options, plugins and features why would you ever want to return to the PSPs XMB?
