I’ve tried the shell as soon as I downloaded it. I should say, although it is the very first release of the program, I can feel it is well polished. The programmer must have been putting a lot of effort into implementing the theme function and integrating everything into one piece. I used the UMD launching function. It was implemented by embedding FileAssistant ++ into the program. I used Ridge Racers which requires no firmware check. The game booted correctly. And when I tried to return using the HOME button, the game actually exited to the PSP-OSS shell, instead of the original PSP XMB interface. I want to say this is just great. I tried Winning Eleven 9 which requires 2.0 but don’t necessarily need 2.0 to run, and it booted too. But unfortunately, I accidentally got kicked back to the XMB with an error message. I tried again but this error didn’t happen again. Maybe a little check on the stability is needed. But altogether, this release is a masterpiece IMO. Cheers to PSP-OSS Team, and sorry for not posting the pre-releasing news before, since we have been seeing all kinds of fake shell news in the past half year. Keep it up!!
