MP3PlayerPlugin is a plugin that can play MP3 files during game and as well as in XMB, developed by plum (aka plum_429).

Installation

You will find the 2 versions (support different fonts/languages, for English version please use Lite) and a configuration file.

• mp3play.prx - Plugin Japanese supported.
• mp3play_lite.prx - Plugin for oversea users, display only 1 byte character.
• mp3play.ini - Configuration file.

Depending on the version you are using, copy the corresponding prx file and mp3play.ini to ms0:/seplugins/.

Edit vsh.txt and game.txt in the same seplugins directory and add the following line

ms0:/seplugins/mp3play.prx 1

It reads MP3 from ms0:/MUSIC/.

User guide

How to use

Playback mode:

• There are normal playback, loop playback, and random playback modes.

Mute mode:

• Mute sounds other than this plugin.
• There are 0 to 7 PSP channels, one can be muted or all can be muted.
• You can use this feature to mute the BGM of the game (however some games produce all sounds from one channel).

Hold mode:

• You can disable the operation of the plugin.

Skip mode:

• FILE - Play songs (next/previous) one by one within the folder.
• FOLDER - Play songs (next/previous) by folder.

Additional notes

Since the PSP has a small amount of memory that can be used, it may not start if a large number of MP3 files are inserted.

If you think it won't start, you may try reducing the MP3 files to start it.

MP3PlayerPlugin uses about 9KB of memory for work, so it will not work without at least 9KB of free memory.
