Homebrew Shortcuts Plugin Beta 1 for 5.00-m33

What the hell is it?

It's a CFW plugin for m33 that let's you assign key combinations to launch your favorite homebrews from the XMB.

What does it do?

By configuring shortcuts.conf, you can assign virtually all (well depends on how many combinations you can make and your fingers can handle) your homebrew apps, ISO/CSO game or the UMD game or even pops games (not tested) to any combination of buttons you choose. Then from the XMB, you push those combinations and hopefully the assigned homebrew/game starts.

Installation?

1. Download the package
2. Extract them to your ms0:/seplugins folder
3. Read the notes in shortcuts.conf file (this is very important otherwise you will not get it to work if not configured correctly) and configure/assign keys to your apps/games.
4. Put this like in your vsh.txt ms0:/seplugins/homebrew_shortcuts.prx 1
5. Push the buttons and watch your homebrew run

Note: This is a beta so it will have bugs.

Thank you to the pspsdk creators who opened up the PSP to some lowly nut like me.
Special thanks to Dark_Alex for M33 modules

MusicPRX Mod for PSP CFWE update 1

MusicPRX is a custom firmware plugin to play music while browsing on XMB or playing a game in your playstation portable (PSP) device.

PSPs 2000 with TA088v3 have limited homebrew capability, in that they depend on a homebrew enabler ChickHEN created by Davee. This particular homebrew enabler is memory resident, meaning whenever you fully turn off you PSP or total drain your battery, your system will go back to the official sony firmware thus leaving you to do the "ChickHEN Dance (load the chickHEN with luck)".

This modded version of music prx adds a battery monitor to help PSP 2000 TA088v3 owners. I don't have a PSP 3000 or any other firmware versions, so YMMV on these systems.

New configuration options in music_conf.txt:

* ALARM_PERCENTAGE = 20 #battery percentage to trigger the low battery alarm sound
* ALARM_SOUND = ms0:/seplugins/lowbat.mp3 #can customize your alarm sound
* STANDBY_PERCENTAGE = 10 #battery percentage to put the system in standby mode. Set to 10 to put the PSP in standby mode when the battery has 10% power left. Set to zero to disable system standby mode.

Installation:

Copy contents of bin folder (bin/*) to ms0:/seplugins/. If you already have the vsh.txt and game.txt, do not overwrite them. Instead copy and paste "ms0:/seplugins/music_mod.prx 1" to your own vsh and game config files.

Changelog:
