IR Shell is an application originally created by AhMan. When properly installed on a PSP, it can completely replace the PSP's usual XMB. iR Shell can run applications while using it and switch back to the iR Shell menu instantly. This means one can combine application's functionality with iR Shell's functionality.

It can use the infrared port on the PSP, making the PSP able to function as a remote control for various IrDA devices. iR Shell can also run dumped images of games and enable better homebrew access. iR Shell now has two versions of the application which work together. One is the 1.5 version of iR Shell which permits users to run any application as they would normally with a PSP that has Firmware version 1.5, The other is the higher Firmware version which permits newer game discs and homebrew to be run.

The latest version of iR Shell is 5.0 which supports all of Dark-AleX's firmwares up to 5.00 M33-6, except for 2.71 SE and 3.90 M33. iR Shell 5.0 introduced multitasking for PSP Slim.

It was one of the contest entries for the NEO Summer Coding Compo 2006 (PSP Apps, 2nd prize).
