PSP plugins

Adding extra features to your PSP

This page gives a general introduction to PSP plugins, and also a general guide to installing plugins, but if you're ready to install some of the 'must have' plugins, feel free to head straight to our plugins list page to find some useful plugins that you can install right now.

What is a Plugin?

Plugins allow extra features to be used on your PSP. Plugins can be used for such things as playing your own music during games, being able to take screenshots of gameplay, organising your games into folders and/or changing the order of games on your XMB. Plugins are created by users of the community and only work on custom firmware (if your PSP is not running CFW, head over to our PSP CFW/Hacking guide). Plugins usually are created for a specific firmware version so they may all not work on the latest firmware version; the more popular ones have been ported to support 6.60 and 6.60 is the firmware that PSP Cult recommends/supports.

General guide to Installing Plugins:

1. Make a folder on the root of your memory stick named 'seplugins' (It is usually created when installing CFW). This is where all plugin information and files go on the PSP.

2. Create 3 text files and name them: GAME, POPS, and VSH.

3. Move your plugin to the seplugins folder. It is suggested to keep the plugins in separate folders to keep it organized (or if the plugin has more than one file).

4. Open the text file of where your plugin will run (Example: cxmb custom themes will only use VSH).

5. Type the path to your plugin and add 0 or 1 at the end (to disable/enable it):

PSP 1000,2000,3000,E1000 use: ms0:/seplugins/yourplugin/plugin.prx 0

PSP GO use: ef0:/seplugins/yourplugin/plugin.prx 0

Note: Each plugin must be on a new line.

6. Save your changes and exit USB Mode. Open recovery menu and navigate to plugins. Your newly added plugin should be listed. Plugins will be listed with what part of the PSP they are for (GAME, POPS, VSH)

7. Press X to enable the plugin and go back to the main menu of the recovery menu; reset the VSH. You will be brought back to the XMB and your plugin should be enabled.

GAME.TXT - Any plugins that will run directly with PSP games/homebrew.
