These days, it seems as if simply having custom firmware on your homebrew-enabled PSP isn’t enough these days. People are always searching for other ways to customize their PSP, wether it be through editing the waves in the background, plugins, or skins. Lots of people have reached out to use Cpasjuste’s Custom Firmware Extender, which he has now updated to 2.2.
Although mainly a bugfix, it’s always nice to see that the homebrew is still being actively worked on my it’s developers and coders. Here are the official changes from the previous version of the CFE:
CFE v2.1 changes:
- Added music playback based on music.prx by joek2100. (only tested under 3.90fw), default combo button for the music menu is NOTE+SQUARE.
- Changed the way we reboot from one firmware to another firmware with Time Machine, the original configuration file is now backup and restored at each boot.
If you don’t know what CFE is, here is a brief list of it’s features:
- In-game music playback from your own MP3 collection
- Hook some Vsh menu functions (replace icons function).
- Start a ftpd server while under the VSH (PSP Menu).

- Start and stop Usb Mass Storage under the VSH (PSP Menu) or in-game (UMD/ISO/HOMEBREW).
