Homebrew legend PSPlayerMT gets update: new PSPlayer v2.0
Talk about pumping life back into classic homebrew apps. Remember Nugi’s phenomenal PSPlayerMT application (to date, it’s amassed over 100,000 downloads!) from back in 2006? To say that the homebrew app was a legend is an understatement. Well, it’s gotten an update today; people, meet the brand spanking new PSPlayer v2.0!

PSP homebrew developer Nugi has released an update for the phenomenal video player application that he’s made. PSPlayer v2.0 is actually built on (or is an update of, in a way) the phenomenal PSPlayerMT from – get this! – over two years ago now, and has ever since amassed over tens of thousands of downloads to date.
Ah, the jolly good old days of brew – see the screenshot above? It’s even got the older QJ.NET watermark on it. Nice to see Nugi is still alive and kicking with his video player application! He’s taken a couple of stuff from PSPlayerMT, and has brought it over to PSPlayer v2.0. Here’s a list of its features:
- Based on FFMPEG nearly latest source(svn rev. 14728).
- avi/mov(mp4) containers supported. No container specific limitation.
- Video codec : Mpeg4 video(xvid etc), Mpeg4/AVC(h264) supported. (HW accel only)
- Audio codec : AC3, MP3, AAC supported. (MP3/AAC are HW accelerated.)
- Subtitles are supported. (smi, etc. through mplayer subreader.c and custom rendering of subtitles.)
- Supports B-frames in H264.
- audio 8-48kHz sampling rate supported. (linear resamling to 44kHz used in PSPlayerMT)
- Real-time volume boosting(1-20x). Apart from system volume. (Can be used for Replay Gain. Of course by hand not automatically.)
- Super high quality custom YUV rendering using PSP video acclerator. Precise color conversion. Deblocking in chroma channels. (from PSPlayerMT)
- Fast avi loading by optimizing index loading.
- Max video resolution. 480×272. (PSP HW codec library does not support higher resolution. maybe)
- No restriction in framerate.
- Buffering mechanism used in PSPlayerMT. (but extreamly reduced buffer size.)
- FF/Rew supported.
- Using internal bookmark mechanism, resuming supported.
- Async reading of video files. Less memstick access.
- usbhostfs, nethostfs supported. (first should be enabled using irshell. etc.)
The download includes a readme application with more details on PSPlayer’s other features, its controls, and library compilation among other notes. (The English readme file is the one titled “PSPlayer-en”.)
