HostCore is a module that "bridges" your PC contents to PSP XMB.

With HostCore enabled, you can access your files which locate at PC via USBHostFs or NetHostFs directly from XMB menu.

Installation

Requirements:

• A PSP (either fat or slim one) with 3.80+ m33 custom firmware.
• Start usbhostfs_pc or nethostfs_pc at your PC side. if you use nethostfs, make sure your computer connect to a WIFI router or you are sharing your network on a WIFI card.

How to install:

• Copy HostCore folder to your memory stick root.
• Add a line ms0:/HostCore/hostcore.prx in your vsh.txt (ms0:/seplugins/vsh.txt), don't forget to enable it.
• Open ms0:/HostCore/conf.txt and change some values if you need.

User guide

Run usbhostfs_pc or nethostfs_pc on your PC, host a folder which has same structure as ms0:(it contains MUSIC, VIDEO, ISO etc..).

For example, type the following command on your console: usbhostfs_pc /Volumes/Home/PSP/

In wifi case: nethostfs_pc -c 4 -d 20 /Volumes/Home/PSP/

(If you don't pass a folder path to it, it would use the current work path. when you are using windows, you can just place usbhostfs_pc or nethostfs_pc in a folder which contains MUSIC, VIDEO, ISO etc. and double click on the usbhostfs_pc or nethostfs_pc binary to host.)

Go to PSP XMB, press the hotkey (default Note key) to switch on the mode you need.
