Homebrew developer Red_Squirrel dropped by the QJ.NET PSP forums to announce the launch of Alternative VSHMenu v5.0. For those new to the homebrew scene, Alternative VSH Menu is essentially a plug-in which provides users with a number of convenient features not present in the M33 VSH Menu.

Here's a quick look at the Alternative VSHMenu v5.0 change log as taken from the application's release thread:

CF 3.90M33

* Possibility to hide the MAC address in System Information page (like CF 3.93/3.95GEN option!)
* Now PSP will be rebooted if you change CXMB, MAC or M33 VSHMenù options (to enable the changes!).

CF 3.95GEN

* Added Hide MAC Address option.
* Changed "M33 NET UPD." line in "NETWORK UPD.".
* Added GEN Updater under NETWORK UPDATE option.
* Changed "M33 VshMenu" line in "SELECT KEY ".
* Added VSH Recovery under SELECT KEY option.

BOTH

* Possibility to enable/disable CXMB plugin directly from the VSHMenù (read the CXMB installation in CXMB_readme.txt to know how it works)
* Now config file will be saved in flash1, so if you decide to flash the A.Vshmenù, Memory Stick will not be required!
* Added a Slim Flasher
* Because of lack of time, language translations will be released in next update.

Be sure to go over the readme file included with the Alternative VSHMenu v5.0 to avoid any problems with installation and use of the program.
