User guide
How to install homebrew
There must be a savedata folder for every install package, following this format:
- ms0:/PSP/SAVEDATA/Name1/INSTALL.ZIP
- ms0:/PSP/SAVEDATA/Name2/INSTALL.ZIP
- ms0:/PSP/SAVEDATA/Name3/INSTALL.ZIP
- (Not necessary to call the folders 'Name')
Installer file zip structure must be /INSTALL.ZIP/Name/EBOOT.PBP compressed in STORE mode, invalid or compressed files will be skipped.
Themes
Copy the theme .138 file to the menu folder, you can select it on the Settings menu
Wallpapers
Copy your .PNG files to the menu folder. Wallpaper names should NOT begin with ICON, otherwise it will be skipped
Configuration file
If 138CFG.TXT doesn't exist or is corrupt then a default config will be generated.
PATH
- Define the path where new homebrew is installed. (in 2.10+ must be different from ms0:/PSP/GAME/), Default is ms0:/PSP/VHBL/.RENAME
- Configure the name of the newly installed eboots. It is recommended to leave the default names (i.e. wmenu.bin, FBOOT.PBP, or VBOOT.PBP). The default name is set to wmenu.bin.APPICON
- Control whether the application icons (ICON0.PNG) for installed apps should be loaded. Set to 0 to disable, 1 to enable (0=faster).PKGICON
- Similar to the APPICON setting, this option determines whether the installer’s icons (ICON0.PNG) should be loaded. Set to 0 to disable, 1 to enable (0=faster).LOADMODE
- This setting defines how the installer loads its data:- Accurate mode (0) - The installer extracts the necessary data directly from the INSTALL.ZIP file.
- Fast mode (1) - The installer retrieves data from the savedata folder's PARAM.SFO and ICON0.PNG files. While faster, this method relies on the correctness of the PARAM.SFO file and can occasionally fail.
GAMEFOLDER
- If enabled, this setting lists the homebrew applications stored in ms0:/PSP/GAME/, This is useful for people in 2.10- who are using other folder to store homebrew too. Set 0 to disable, 1 to enable.USEWALL
- This setting controls whether the menu should display the WALL.PNG file as a background image. Set 0 to disable, 1 to enable.
Notes
- Regarding the issue where the homebrew does not return to the menu upon exiting, this is a compatibility issue related to the VHBL port. If 138Menu fails to load after exiting an app, it is likely that no menu will load at all.
- Please note that there are no guarantees that the menu will function properly on all systems. The author does not assume responsibility for any damages that may result from improper use of this application.

Screenshots
Changelog
L3 f2
- Italian language by Franzes added
- Now you can enter the DEBUG LOAD mode by holding R when the menu starts to see what files are being processed.
L3 f1
- Fixed a bug that crashed the menu when installing a 0 bytes file.
L3
- Added a "Theme" feature in the settings category, place all your .138 theme files in the menu folder. NOTE: DATA.138 must be in the folder, even if you are not using it; otherwise the menu will NOT start.
- Added a "Background" feature to swap between the different PNG files in the folder (files starting with "ICON" are excluded)
- TN version included, which doesn't run backups at the moment in TN-V (TN-C and lower versions should run fine).
- Installing screen improved, now it lists the file with its size and progress percentage.
- Now font files come included in the Theme packages, if a theme doesn't have a font file then the default font inside DATA.138 will be loaded. No need for LTN9.PGF file anymore.
- More protection added, so you don't delete the menu folder if you try to delete an Installer placed there, Only the file INSTALL.ZIP in that folder will be deleted if that was the case.
- Now you need to confirm the message when you want to restore the default settings.
- CEF version will now list the apps in the following order: ISOs > PSN > PSX > HOMEBREW
- CEF version will now list all the ISOs placed in the menu folder.
- Fixed a bug that prevented overwriting some folders when installing homebrew.
- Fixed a bug that listed PSX games in the VHBL version.
- Fixed minor OSK glitches.
- Fixed some graphical glitches.
