There are now literally tens of thousands of different homebrew apps listed on virtually every psp homebrew site and forum. Unfortunately the vast majority of them are very buggy or very very basic.
And it's very hard to navigate and sort through all of them to figure out which are the most refined homebrews.
Few people will take the time to spend hours on the forums try out all of those programs are the latest and best ones worth downloading.
Even the best homebrew keep getting updated. So if you've been off the homebrew scene for even a few weeks, it could take you an hour or two of sorting through the forums just to figure out if all the homebrew you have on your psp is the latest version of the software.
So I think a lot of people, the majority of people, benefit from there being a site out there that has just about 25 programs or so that do what most people want their psp's to be able to do and do them really really well.
I've created such a site, that just lists the latest and best homebrews, and tries to keep the number under 25.
Please go here to check it out... http://wikicity.org/Homebrew
Even using this forum, it takes a tremendous amount of time for a new person to sort through the many different threads and versions posted here to get the latest best version of a program that does exactly what they are looking for.
There are homebrews for everything for 1.5 PSPs.
There are Webbrowsers, Ebook/PDF Readers, Programs that stream video from your PCs, Radio Players, Movie Players, Word Type Apps, UMD Loaders, Emulators, Games etc. etc.
There are three different homebrews that let you use your PSP as a universal remote to control your TV, DVD Player etc.
There's even a great keyboard called FOSK that lets you type any letter with just two key strokes and should be implemented into many different PSP Applications.
There are little known mods to common games, such as the mod to Quake that enables Infrastructure play and Bot support.
I thought that this forum and the entire homebrew community would benefit tremendously from a single site that's constantly updatable and editable by anyone and links people to the very latest versions of just the very best and most refined and useful homebrew applications out there. You can also link to people to very useful modifications to popular applications as well. You may even link people to useful sites to get PSP Wallpapers or Icon images for homebrew applications and such.
A lot of people, the majority of people, benefit from there being a site out there that has just about 20 programs or so that do what most people want their psp's to be able to do and do them really really well.
Yes, some people have three or four different snes emulators on their psps. But many people don't want to have to try all four and decide what they like the best. They would prefer to simply be told Snes .42me is the latest most feature rich and most compatible snes emulator out there, and be directed to where they to go to download it.
Thats what the above site is.

And most of the less useful programs get deleted by visitors so that the site only includes about 25 of the very best homebrews out there.
