PSP Homebrew – VIVA Preview 1

MrE's VIVA release for the PSP actually stands for VIVA Is A Visual shell Altnerative. As its full name clearly states, it is a VSH app. What this preview version essentially shows is what they have come up with at this point. Plus, it's also to serve as an invitation to other devs out there who might be interested in helping out in this project.

MrE's VIVA release for the PSP actually stands for VIVA Is A Visual shell Altnerative. As its full name clearly states, it is a VSH app. What this preview version essentially shows is what they have come up with at this point. Plus, it's also to serve as an invitation to other devs out there who might be interested in helping out in this project.

It's just a preview, though, so don't go expecting much. What this version does already have, however, is enough to give you an idea on how promising it can get.

• Ability to load the XMB or VIVA during boot time, pressing the left shoulder button loads the XMB, not pressing loads VIVA. No files have to be written unlike Project4.
• ISO/CSO loading (fixed path) with the M33 and NP9660 driver, Project4 only had the ISOFs driver.

So there, why don't you check it out and drop MrE a line for your comments on the UI, as well as to join the team if you may wish to. We've got the forums thread linked below, so do head on there as well.
