If room for improvement is indeed the largest room in the world, then Homemister and PiCkDaT have succeeded in creating more room. The reason? The two homebrew developers have improved upon the previous version of LuaPlayer HM to bring you LuaPlayer HM v6.

These are some of the new features in LuaPlayer HM v6, according to Homemister:

• System.runeboot() Loads and starts a *.PBP File Eg. System.runeboot("ms0:/Eboot.PBP")
• System.playerVer() Returns the LuaPlayerHM version Eg. ver = System.playerVer()
• System.cfwVersion() Displays the CFW Firmware Version Eg 3.90 or 2.50 Doesnot include M33 addon
• System.loadPrx() Loads a Prx file and starts it. Warning it could cause the player to not function properly or crask the system

Wlan Functions

• Wlan.init() Initates the wireless and Netdialog selection screen
• Wlan.term() Terminates the wireless
• Wlan.getIP() Returns the IP address

Socket Functions

• Socket.connect() Connects to a host and port Eg. Socket.connect(" e.com.au",80)
• Socket.createServerSocket () makes a socket usable Eg Socket.creatServerSocket (80)
• Socket.isConnected() Returns a 1 if connected
• Socket.accept() will accept conections

Adhoc Functions

• Adhoc.init() Initates the Adhoc
• Adhoc.connect() Connects to the adhoc or makes a adhoc connection
• Adhoc.getState() Returns the state of the connection 1=ok 0=error
• Adhoc.send() Sends data Eg Adhoc.send("hello")

UMD Functions

• UMD.init() initiats the UMD drive and checks for a Disk. If no disk it displays a message and does not load the UMD drive. UMD drive is "disk0:"
• UMD.term() Stops the Umd drive
• UMD.checkDisk() Checks if there is a disk in the drive.
• UMD.ripISO() IMPROGRESS WILL BE ON NEXT RELEASE rips the ISO from the UMD

Homemister notes that, in order to use an ISO, "you need to set the No UMD driver to OE isof. Otherwise, the ISO loading will return an error." The developer also notes that the LuaPlayer HM Source 5 release isn't complete because both Homemister and PiCkDaT do not have permission from the creators to redistribute the creator's work.

For a complete listing of all the new stuff in Homemister's and PiCkDaT's LuaPlayer HM v6, including a list of different functions for different firmware, feel free to check out the relevant QJ.NET PSP Development Forum thread, courtesy of the source link below.

The previous release of the homebrew application LuaPlayer HM for the PlayStation Portable had the dev asking for help from anyone who knew how to use adhoc. Another homebrew coder, PiCkDaT, offered a helping hand, and so LuaPlayer HM v5 has now been released.

This version now has Adhoc function courtesy of PiCkDaT. Aside from this very promising development, homebrew developer Homemister has also added WiFi ability to the player. You can now select and add new wireless networks.

But if these new features still don't impress you, then maybe you'd want to wait for the next release of LuaPlayer HM. The homebrew dev is planning to include a built-in LuaPlayer Updater which will automatically check for and install new versions of the homebrew app. The next build will also have better Eboot support. Homemister also informs us that starting from this version, the dev will be working with PiCkDaT and they'll be releasing the homebrew app for the Sony PlayStation Portable as a team.

You can download LuaPlayer HM v5 by following the link below. Make sure that you go through the readme file for the installation instructions, credits, and a complete documentation of the latest version.

Homebrew developer homemister91 dropped by QJ.NET PSP Development Forum and released a new build for the application LuaPlayer HM, bumping the Lua-based system browser up to version 4.1.

Aside from the usual fixes that comes with version change, homemister has also added a couple of neat new features. Here's the list provided by the coder himself:

• There is now a popup using the psp sdk message for the luaplayer version using System.made by (1) (1 for yes no answer, 0 for back answer)
• The flashing WiFi screen is now fixed
• You can load prx files by using System.loadPrx()

Homemister has released a new version of LuaPlayer HM, bringing the application to version 3.0. The application has a couple of neat changes, though perhaps the most notable of them is the change that allows you to play all the sound files from old luaplayers.

Here's the current list of features in LuaPlayer HM v3.0:

• Fixed old sound files from other Luaplayers now able to be played.
• Can Run Eboot.pbp files now from lua code.
• Mount and unmount flash and UMD's.
• Free up unused memory.
• Show what LuaPlayerHM version it is.
• Put Limit on cpu speed set to 10mhz - 333 mhz.
• Slim and Phat Enabled.
• New Functions and ability to play new audio files

Installation procedures can be found in the readme included in the download. If you want to know more about LuaPlayer HM v3.0, or simply want to send HomeMister some much-needed feedback, feel free to join our forums and drop him a line via the link below.

Homemister has updated his LuaPlayer HM application, bumping it up to version 2.0. This new version comes with some additional functions and some more playable audio file types, so you should be able to get more out of the application compared to the previous version.

Here's a quick list of the file types supported by LuaPlayer HM v2.0:

• .aa3
• .oma
• .omg
• .mp3
• .ogg

Folks who want to use this app should take note of the updated readme included in the application. Furthermore, if you want to send in information on new features wanted for future releases of the application, Homemister requests that you check out the QJ forum link below and add your inputs there. That being said, enjoy the app!
