QuickBoot Mod is a plugin that allows you to quickly boot GAME/POPS/ISO on VSH startup using a shortcut key, without returning to the XMB.
This is a modified version based on wnbyaku's QuickBoot 3.2 to work under ME 2.2 custom firmware's new inferno driver. It has also been updated to work with PSP Go's internal storage, as well as new features (Autoboot+QuickMenu).
Features
- Boot GAME/POPS/ISO without returning to the XMB.
- Boot GAME/POPS/ISO on VSH startup with holding a up/right/down/left key or automatically (configurable).
Installation
Note: In order to use this plugin you will also need cmlibMenu 1.8 or newer (already included).
Copy the lib folder, quick_boot.ini and quick_boot.prx to the seplugins folders on your Memory Stick.
Add the following path to game.txt and pops.txt within the same seplugins directory
ms0:/seplugins/quick_boot.prx 1
You will also find a folder named quickmenu, which is to be used with the new Autoboot feature (in QuickBoot 3.3.1 or above).
To install, copy the QUICKMENU folder into ms0:/PSP/GAME/.

AutoStart
Allows you to autostart GAME/POPS/ISO on VSH startup with shortcut key (Up, Down, Left, Right), example:
AS_UP = ms0:/PSP/GAME/FastRecovery/EBOOT.PBP AS_DOWN = ms0:/ISO/my disc.iso
Autoboot and QuickMenu
Autoboot setting can be configured in quick_boot.ini. Press any button (except Right, Left, Up, Down) to override.
QuickMenu is an application to be used with QuickBoot plugin (for 3.3.1 or above). This allows to use QuickBoot as a standard homebrew launcher (even more if you combine it with pergame plugin).
This is mostly intended to be used as Autoboot to bypass the XMB for APP/POPS/CSO/ISO launching (it's quicker).
Also, some homebrew will hang the PSP when QuickBoot tries to launch something, if set as Autoboot you can instead exit the application and use Autoboot to save some seconds when launching another game/application.
Note for PSPGo users:
When launching an application from the Memory Stick, Quickboot can launch applications from both Memory Stick and internal storage.
When launching an application from internal storage one can only boot applications from internal storage, even though the favorite list will still display applications in the Memory Stick (QuickBoot will just close if selecting one of them).
Use AutoBoot + QuickBoot menu stored in the Memory Stick (for example) to quickly run your Memory Stick favs after exiting a game/applciation.
Controls
Note - Open/close menu
Cross - Execute
Circle - Close menu
Select - Change UMD driver (Normal> M33> NP9660> ME/Inferno> Inferno)
L/R - Switch between list and favourites
Triangle - Add favourite (in list)
Suqare - Remove favourite (in favourites)
Compatibility
Tested under the following environments:
PSP 2000 02g with ME2.2 (with flashed IPL)
PSP GO 05g with 6.20 Me 2.2 with permapatch
Known issues
Some old homebrew have param.sfo files with missing labels (probably DISC_ID label). When QuickBoot parses one of those homebrews it will stop reading the directory and no further homebrew will be added to the list.
