Hi guys, i have some questions....
1)What is the web browser executable?
2)Is there a way to launch a prx with an eboot, maybe changing the eboot source?
3)How can i launch a prx in kernel mode?

Take a look at libhttp.prx functions. The graphics are just from the ME.

1) htmlviewer. There are many threads on how to launch it.

2) Just load and start the PRX from your EBOOT normally. The thing is when you launch an eboot the kernel restarts in game mode. So if you are trying to load a PRX by choosing an icon from the game menu in the XMB, you will need some complicated hooks. Look at the 3.40OE source code for this.

3) The PRX will load in whatever mode it is compiled as. 0x1000 PRX will always load in kernel mode, regardless of whether you load and start it from within a user mode program. There are some Sony PRXs like vshmain (which is VSH mode 0x800) which can only be loaded from a kernel module, but for homebrew purposes you can generally load any of your kernel or user PRXs from any mode and it will start in whatever mode the PRX is compiled as.
