hello,
i would like to know how is it possible to load and start the vshmain module when in game mode.
i want to create an homebrew that simply loads the XMB...
i know that ir shell does it but i don't know how to do it, at least what i try is not working..

what i'm doing is loading common_gui, common_util and paf (with their dependencies) but when i try to load vshmain i get the error: 8002012E...

to be precise i'm loading this modules (in order)
chkreg.prx
vaudio.prx
vshbridge.prx
paf.prx
common_gui.prx
common_util.prx

vshmain.prx <- can not load...

I think that would be nice a easy way to tell the kernel to reboot in vshmode and load my module instead of vshmain..

thanks..

You will need to get the list of modules loaded in VSH mode from pspbtknf (or something like that, you get the idea if you know what you're talking about).

Load the modules in the order in the list and off you go!

Note that you must be in kernel mode. User mode will not work :P

If done correctly, you would have the VSH boot up, but in official firmware and be able to run nothing at all. :P

Have fun :D

I'd guess that IR shell does a kernel reboot with persistence to change the mode. There is no way in hell you are going to get the XMB to load that easily.
