Luna Is A Customizable PSP Shell And It’s Ready For Your Consideration

Hyperhacker, an experienced basement brewer, has finally made public his pet project, Luna. Luna is the first fully customizable PSP shell, and it’s authored entirely in LUA. Check out these words from the scientist himself:

“Luna is designed to replace the XMB, and to be completely customizable. Luna skins are Lua scripts (hence the name), which gives them total flexibility without involving any difficult hex editing or dangerous flashing. 3D menus, background music, animation, alpha blending, whatever you want. You could go all-out and make a 3D world like Super Mario 64, jumping into paintings to run games. Or you could keep it simple, and have a text-based menu and maybe a background image. Or anywhere in between. You can even have no interface at all, and just assign a game to each button.”

You’ll want to peruse the included documentation in order to get started correctly. It’ll speak to the creation of custom skins, how to disable sound, and how to toggle some other options of interest. Again, this project is still in beta, so feedback will be appreciated. Says Hyperhacker again:

1. Not all of the built-in programs work yet (but you can launch XMB as if it were a homebrew app to use them), and
2. The skin API could change in future versions. Once the final version is out, backward compatibility will be maintained as much as possible. I appreciate any feedback on the API design while there’s still time to change it. (Take a look at the comments in main.h to see what’s already planned, though.)

Jam this piece of code onto your Portable and jump into the future of small-screen customization.
