Im not trying to be smart ass or something...But...
Why you don't write your own file browser and you're wasting your time with pre-made code?

A file browser is a really easy thing to write(imagine the hole thing as a menu with dynamic elements).

You just need:

-file/folder structures/classes
-A function that scans current directory and writes the data in
a buffer : vector<your_class/structure>(C++) or your_class/structure* typename(C).
-With up/down keys you move one index up/down in array
-To render the text , you simply loop through all visible elements
and draw them on the screen using a gfx library.
-To execute a file/folder/app or whatever , simply , read the active element...

Edited:
And as for your current problem , i think you can't just run another application like that.
Someone else might be able to help you with this..

Question dev, LEARN C AND HOW TO DEVELOP HOMEBREW FOR PSP before going into advanced C programming!!

Damn, LEARN, LEARNM LEARN AND LEARN!
DONT ask for "samples" or "snippets"!!
NO ONE DOES.
If you really want to LEARN, make some research, it may take MONTHS or just a day, BUT please, STOP FROM ASKING FOR HELP ON SUCH AN EASY THING LIKE DISPLAYING IMAGES!

"you are learning".
YOU MUST KNOW C when going into advanced C programming!
If you are learning C yet, then start by displaying text or blitting imges.

Make sure you read and understand all files which coems in the file browser rar/zip and you will know.

I can't find it in filebrowser.c so i will take a look at the other files.

If i can't find, plz don't be an egoist and explain me

EDIT : Sorry, can't find info in the other files

If you can't, then you should learn more C because you are not understanding it.
I am NOT a C teacher, if you were having problems with something and you if you knew what you were doing, I would help you, but in this case, I won't help you with something you won't understand,

Here is a filebrowser I have used for the PSP:
http://www.psp-programming.com/forums/i ... pic=1333.0
It puts the selected path in a string array for you.

Pirata Nervo is probably right. I have my doubts you will be able to do anything with it
if you have to ask how to make selections various colours and other such simple stuff.
