PSX-Scene developer deroad is back with us today, and has a new PS3 app for everyone here at the site. Enjoy the ability to install package via homebrew app, thanks to this release...

Hi everyone, since i'm working on PSChannel (i don't know when it will be finished), i had to build a few features for it (i will not tell which they are). so i written this simple homebrew to install one or more PKG without using the XMB option. this app is useful if you, for some reason, can't use that option.
it will create on the XMB a new icon that will allow you to install that pkg.

How to use it:

place in the main directory of your USB a pkg (it can handle up to 100 pkgs, and the max size for each of them is 4GB).
then plug in the usb on the ps3 and run the app.

it will search the usb from /dev_usb000 to /dev_usb009, once found it will start it copy and create the right files to allows you to install it from the XMB without the option.

THIS APP WILL RESTART THE PS3 ONCE FINISHED.

i hope that this app can be useful (maybe also someday).

Direct Download old version (both files)

[OLD][Download] https://www.dropbox.com/s/03r0chasu4...age.geohot.pkg
[OLD][Download] https://www.dropbox.com/s/qsaczaxuvy...ll_Package.pkg

This new version allow to install packages also from the /dev_hdd0/package folder, just not plug in any USB and it will search in that directory

that's cool. if you don't have the option, how can you install this?

anyways, would be good for installing multiple pkgs at once.

You could include it in your CFW/MFW.

No, it is a different concept, revolving around the same idea.

I personally would rather it be able to install from a specific dir like usb002\pkgs or something. I don't mind having my pkgs on a usb, I just don't like having a bunch of files on the root, too messy looking.

Also you state that it will

create the right files to allows you to install it from the XMB without the option

Does that mean the pkgs will show like PSN downloads before you install them, (like an icon in a bubble)?

releasing this useless piece of sh* is ok, but not answering the questions here is TOTALLY FAIL!
No offence but also No respect from me!

better write your own homebrews than judge about the BRAINWORK of others no matter how useful you think they are, or not.

to be honest UNRESPECTFUL people with the behavior LIKE YOU should not use homebrews at all, because they did not deserve them.

THANX A LOT DEROAD FOR SHARING YOUR WORK WITH US !!!

Seriously Blade, I feel bad about what you said to Deroad, just because you quoted one of my questions. Respect Devs for whatever they provide to you, even if its not directly useful to you, maybe his/her work can be used too bolster something that is grand.

WTF is your problem? You need to learn some ****ing respect! You may not find this useful but somebody else might.

@deroad: Nice work! Looking forward to HBC!
