If you loved Sony PlayStation Portable homebrew developer xart's easyChoice application for the original PSP and you're wishing you could take it along as you upgrade to the PSP Slim, wish no more because xart has just released slimChoice.

The developer dropped by the QJ Forums earlier and gave us an update on the his slimChoice v1.0. slimChoice is set to pack all of the core features of easyChoice that you loved. If you're not familiar with the aforementioned app, it gives your PSP a nice GUI (graphical user interface) that dishes out aesthetics as well as functionality.

Here are some highlights of xart's post regarding slimChoice v1.0

* Custom Firmware (3.51 M33 Recommended)
* Not compatible with eLoader as the internal workings for launching homebrew are not the same.
* No bootstrap yet, to be provided later or by a third party developer perhaps.
* MP3 Player on it's own, "Melody" is provided as a standalone and will be launched via Choice as well as the XMB.
* Rewritten from the ground up taken all the best stuff from easyChoice and getting rid of the not so good stuff in easyChoice.
* Uses the same button arrangement as eMenu so users of eLoader that have been using eMenu.
