▲ 7 r/PSP

So as the title suggests, just unearthed my psp from storage after not using it since a couple of years since it was released.

I remember when the pandora battery & magic memory stick exploit first came out, was the first bit of hardware changes i ever did, me and my mate created a pandora battery and got custom firmware for the first time after trying everything we could to do it without the pandora battery as we were too poor to buy a new battery.

I understand its a piece of piss to use custom firmware on them now, is that right?

What else is new? didnt realize there was still a comunity for it, how, and why so?

if someone could fill me in on whats changed in terms of what can now be done with a psp that would be really appreciated!

Cheers

Created a TUI specifically for MX Linux (non Systemd) users in mind (like myself) - FireTV De-bloater

there's no systemd anywhere in the codebase. No .service files, no systemctl, nothing. The whole thing is built and tested on MX Linux 23.3. Only hard dependencies are Python 3.10+ and ADB — both in the MX repos (sudo apt install android-tools-adb). That's it.

For anyone who has a fireTV or firestick/box - if you, like me love the hardware but hate teh software of fire devices.

Amazon's launcher is basically a sponsored content delivery mechanism with a UI bolted on. There's Automatic Content Recognition running in the background fingerprinting what you watch, Sidewalk quietly sharing your network bandwidth, and a pile of telemetry services you never agreed to. Oh, and the ad tracking is opt-in by default, naturally.

Every tool I found to deal with this was either Windows-only, three years unmaintained, or a bash script with no safety rails. Nothing Linux-native. So I wrote one.

Python TUI (Textual framework) and CLI, connects to the device over ADB — USB or network, your choice. What it does:

Debloat: package list pulled live from the device, classified into tiers (Safe / Risky / Telemetry). You pick which tiers to touch. Nothing fires until you confirm.

Telemetry: writes the ADB settings that kill interest-based ads, disable ACR, stop Sidewalk, zero out the video autoplay stuff on the home screen

Launcher swap: detect what HOME-intent handlers are installed, set your preferred one as default

APK install/uninstall: browse installed packages, install from local path

Backup: full JSON snapshot of package state + settings before you touch anything

Everything uses pm disable-user --user 0 so it's fully reversible per-user, not a system wipe. Backup/restore is built in regardless.

Screenshots in the repo if you want to see what it looks like before cloning. Ask away if you've got questions about it.

▲ 125 r/360hacks

A fully native Linux port of the original Windows-only Xbox 360 utility by BLAHPR.
No wine. No Windows tools. All binaries are built from source on Linux.

Features

Button What it does
Extract Game Folders from ISOs Pick a folder of .iso files and an output folder — extracts each ISO into a game folder
Create ISOs from Game Folders Pick a source folder of game dirs (.xex/.xbe) and an output folder — creates an .iso for each
Extract and Delete ISO Files Same as Extract, but permanently deletes source ISOs after extraction
Delete Game Folders Permanently deletes extracted game folders containing .xex / .xbe
Fix ISO (abgx360) Verifies and auto-fixes ISO headers, stealth sectors, and video padding
ISO to GOD Converts an ISO to Games on Demand format (Xbox 360 and Original Xbox)
GOD to ISO Reconstructs an ISO from a GOD package

AND MULTI-DISC INSTALLATION WORKFLOW.

Here is the repo - https://github.com/WB2024/X360Forge

All of these features are now also built into my other project x360tm

Similar to badbuilder, but builds abadavatar usb stick instead of abadupdate one. it is more automated in the sense of automatically installing xeunshaled and aurora, and makes your console boot into aurora automatically if you wish.

its built into my application that does much more, check it out if you havent already!

Posted an early version of this here and it got buried, but it's come a long way since then so worth a proper post.

x360tm is a mod manager for Xbox 360 that runs on your PC and talks to your console over FTP. You open it, it connects to Aurora, and from there you can browse and install pretty much anything directly to the box. No browser, no manually copying files, no figuring out where things are supposed to go.

I saw someone in the comments on the last post say that "terminal app" put people off because they thought it meant typing commands. It doesn't. You navigate with arrow keys and Enter, same as any menu driven thing. There are screenshots in the repo README if you want to see what it looks like before downloading.

Here's what it actually does at this point:

The content browser pulls from the Arisen Studio database and gives you 580 trainers, 70 game mods, 55 homebrew apps, pre-made saves, memory cheats and 133 title update patches all in one place. Everything is searchable and selecting something shows the full detail on the right before you install. You can also drop your own local files into the relevant folders and they show up alongside the database content and install the same way.

The library scan connects to your console, walks your game folders, matches your Title IDs against a list of 3000+ games and builds a My Library view. Every browser has a filter so you can cut it down to just content for games you actually have installed rather than scrolling through hundreds of entries looking for yours.

The repo ships with 550+ Aurora compatible trainer files already in it. You don't need to find them or download them separately, they're just there and install to the right folder automatically.

Transfer Games lets you point it at your local GOD folder, see what you have versus what's on the console, and push games across over FTP or directly to a USB drive.

ISO to GOD is also in there. Point it at a folder of ISOs, pick what you want, hit convert. It handles the conversion using iso2god-rs which downloads itself on first use, then the output goes straight to your GOD folder ready to transfer.

There's a torrent selector built in as well. Drop a torrent file into the Torrent folder, open it in the app and you get a full file tree showing everything inside. You tick the specific files you want, hit download, and it hands it off to a running qBittorrent instance with the right file priorities already set. Same thing as doing it manually through the qBittorrent GUI but without touching it.

The utilities section has an FTP file browser so you can navigate your console's full filesystem without leaving the app, and a tidy-up tool that scans your game folder over FTP, looks up the proper name for every Title ID it finds, shows you a full preview of what it's going to rename and to what format, then does all the renames on the console without copying or moving a single file. If your games are sat in folders named after their Title IDs with no readable name it sorts all of that out in one go.

The app also has a built in updater now. It checks for new versions on launch and either notifies you or handles the whole thing itself depending on what you've got set in settings.

No Python needed, no command line, nothing to install if you don't want to. On Windows you extract the zip and run the exe. On Linux there's an install script that drops it in your applications menu with the icon. Releases are on GitHub.

Happy to answer questions, and if anyone knows of trainer or mod sources I haven't pulled in yet let me know.

Pulls from the Arisen Studio database so everything's there – trainers, game mods, saves, homebrew, cheats, patches – searchable from a terminal UI and FTP'd straight across to the box. No browser, no manual transfers.

Aurora path handling is automatic so trainers land where they're supposed to without you having to figure it out. There's also a library scan that connects to your console, walks your game folders, matches Title IDs against a list of 3000+ games and gives you a "My Library" view – filters all the browsers down to just content for games you actually have installed. Saves scrolling through 580 trainers when you only care about five.

Runs on Windows, Linux, Mac. Python under the hood, Aurora on the console side for FTP.

▲ 6 r/scrcpy

Created a GUI/Tui for Scrcpy,

it;

USB and Wi-Fi connections — you type the IP once, hit "Connect TCP", and it adb connects for you

6 display mode presets (normal, fullscreen, screen-off, borderless, high quality 1080p/8M, and a custom DPI mode)

FPS cap, bitrate, codec picker (H.264/H.265/AV1)

Named presets — save your usual setup, load it in one click

Health check tab that tells you instantly if adb isn't on PATH, device isn't connecting, port isn't reachable, etc.

Wake-lock and density changes are always cleaned up on exit, even if scrcpy crashes

Compiles to a standalone .exe via ps2exe — no PowerShell window, just double-click

There's also a full CLI version that takes parameters and supports the same preset system if you want to script it or bind it to a hotkey.
