Eloader 0.9.8 - Porter - No More Need for GTA With Eloader :)

[wraggster]

Our forum members and all around excellent PSP Sceners/Coders Ditlew (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/search.php?searchid=706107) and Fanjita (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/search.php?searchid=706105) have released the ultimate version of the Eloader App for the PSP.

(Eloader lets you load homebrew on any console with a firmware of v2.0 to v2.6 :))


Noobz are proud to announce the release of the latest eLoader version, 0.9.8, otherwise known as the "Porter" release.

This version brings user-mode homebrew to v2.0-v2.6 PSPs, without the need for Grand Theft Auto. Now, almost all the software that worked with GTA can now be used without it.

Other changes:
eMenu has been improved in various small ways.
The default menu is now eMenu, the old menu has been retired.

By now you're probably wondering, "What on earth is Porter?". Or maybe, what's next? Well, here's a rough roadmap for what we're currently working on:
A user-mode loader for v2.70 and v2.71.
A user-mode loader for v2.80.
A loader to support kernel-mode homebrew on those platforms where it is possible.
A way to do away with eLoader altogether, and load homebrew directly from the XMB.
We will not predict when these will be ready (so please don't ask!), but we're working as fast as we can on them.

Truly excellent work from 2 of the PSP scenes best :)

Awesome !! Keep it up !

Many homebrews are working great with this new eloader :) (i've tested all my emulator ports, and i encountered only freeze with pspvba)

Anyway, no more need to run GTA on 2.5 or 2.6 !

:D :D :D :D

[Accordion]

great news

[nielsss]

kick ass but ill stay with my never upgrded 1.50 psp

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

Fan fkin tastic thxs !!! but i use devhook

[aries2k4]

Another good step in the right direction.
Great work noobz

[M!ckeY]

this is awesome :)

[.:}<3\/!}\{:.]

noobz dosen't really suit u guys, i think proz will be better. Anyway thx alot no GTA needed!!!!!:D

[NoQuarter]

Awesome you guys!!!!
Keep up the good work:D

[MasterChafed]

the news always gets better. great work.

[wraggster]

yeah hats off to Ditlew and Fanjita, bloody excellent work

[DefaultGen]

Thats pretty awesome news but call me when we can use 1.5 style homebrew on 3.0 firmware, then I won't use 1.5 :)

[D0N]

Excellent news! Keep up the great work guys!

[RetroRockman]

gsPSPand Snes9x TYL dont work ;( But otherwise its pretty awesome!

[NoQuarter]

Might want to try the non me version of snes9xtyl

[RetroRockman]

I am using the non ME version o_o The emulator comes up just fine, but when I try to load a ROM it doesnt work, but it did before. :P

[tallica]

This is awesome, well done fanjita and ditlew! now 2.6 users can downgrade with ease :)

[Gizmo356]

yeah it doesnt work o well

[Zion]

Awesome news :D

[LAW666]

AWESOME!!!!
i bow to u guys...

[Veskgar]

This is yet another great breakthrough for PSP homebrew. While I much prefer the downgrade route and using 1.50 firmware, for people who can't downgrade and own 2.50 & 2.60 and maybe someday 2.71/2.80 TA-082 motherboard PSP's this helps them get their homebrew fix.

Great thanks and appreciation to Fanjita, Ditlew, and all others involved in making homebrew available for higher firmwares and TA-082 PSP's.

[psp828]

so now its possible to downgrade a 2.5/2.6 without the use of gta:lcs :D.

[Offbeat Bareass]

Well, I hate to be the n00b that nobody likes.......

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good emulators that run on this??

I'd love a SNES and Genesis one if possible.

I've got a TA-082 and I'm just ECSTATIC!!!!:D

I've got a ton of roms on my PC already, so I just need the proper PSP emulators.

Thanks!:)

[psp828]

well i think dgen 1.30 works on eloader and snestyl 0.42 user mode also works. cant wait for the next version of eloader to come out with kernel mode.

[mavsman4457]

This is great news. And a note to any GTA owners out there. Sell it on ebay and then buy it back in a month and you'll make $20. Well maybe not $20 but it will be worth it. Unless it's worth has already gone down which I doubt. Anyways, I was expecting that when a new eloader was made that it would provide kernel access to 2.71 and user mode to 2.8. I think I would prefer this though because it is slowly working it's way up to the ultimate eloader rather than piling it on all at once. First get rid of GTA, then get user mode to 2.71, then kernel mode to 2.71 and 2.6, then give user mode to 2.8, and finally make homebrew launchable from the XMB and make a 2.71 just as good as a 1.5!!!!! Which actually doesn't matter to me because I've got my 1.5.

[shrimpidy]

2.8 eh? SWEET!

[dublas1980]

thank so much for this nice eloder noobz:D

[Veskgar]

so now its possible to downgrade a 2.5/2.6 without the use of gta:lcs :D.

You can do that now if you wanted. Just grab a 2.71 update, update your PSP to 2.71, then use the newest 2.71 -- 1.50 downgrader. No GTA needed.

As far as recommended Emulators for a newcommer. DGEN is definitely the best Genesis emulator and Snes9xTYL 0.4.2 is the best SNES emulator.

[dmac]

This is great, but drat!! I only updated to FW 2.71 the other day when the downgrader came around, and I haven't done it yet because I can't afford a brick and I am afraid of downgrading. I should have waited for this eloader.

[zevernos]

YEA FINally what i hav been waitng for thx Ditlew and Fanjita and company

[SSaxdude]

Hopefully one day all kernal homebrew will be able to run with this. Then TA-082 people will not have to worry with downgrading.

[Kvonx]

BEST RESULTS COME FROM SMART WORK.........NOT HARD WORK, GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!! even dou i have a 1.50 and use devhook.

[Offbeat Bareass]

YAY!!

For any TA-082 users, I can confirm that this works on TA-082 just fine!

I'm currently playing Street Fighter Alpha 2 on the SNES emulator!

It's a little slow, but not too bad. I'm about to try DGEN to see how that runs.



By the way, does anyone know how to exit out without removing the battery pack? It seems I can't get out of the game I'm playing without pulling the battery out and rebooting.


EDIT: Can't seem to get DGEN running... Anyone have success with it yet?

[Nikolaos]

Very nice , can't wait to see the 2.71 eLoader be released or even better 2.80 eLoader

[**1_Man_Matrix**]

QUESTION!!! :confused:

How much internal memory does the PSP have? I mean on the flash for firmware updates etc, that we can't access...

Is it like 32MB? or 16? Can't remember...

Anyways, cause, doesn't that mean that Sony can only keep upgrading the PSP until it runs out of internal storage?
Like, if it had an official PS1 Emu built in, aswell as the XMB, sounds, pictures, Wi-Fi crap, PS3 connection stuff, codecs, usb settings...
Now this stuff may not take up much room, but one day, Sony won't be able to add anything else will they?

Cheers:D

[Juanton3790]

no cuz it writes over the previuos 1

[Emeriastone]

I'll dl and use this even though I have a 1.5 because I remember the days where I was dependent on the eloader and I praised ditlew and fanjita. Keep it up guys.

[**1_Man_Matrix**]

no cuz it writes over the previuos 1

Yer, thats obvious...

But even with the previous firmware update being overwritten, that doesn't change the fact that one day, there won't be any more internal storage room on the PSP.
Firmware updates have only added things, it's not very often they take any features away.
The official PS1 emulator would have to be only a few MB's...

[migsgiz]

thank u ditlew and fanjita, now my lil bro can play nes/tgx16 on his 256ms and i can sell my gta on ebay

[luis_05]

you guys must be the greatest PSP hustlers evers!! u freaking players!! this is great news for everyone not just 2.0+ users, for 1.5 users as myself, we are so happy that hacks are being found for the psp, and soon maybe all psp users may rejoice from every corner of the earth to enjoy hombebrew on their psp's!!!

[Edshugeo]

By the way, does anyone know how to exit out without removing the battery pack? It seems I can't get out of the game I'm playing without pulling the battery out and rebooting.

If it's SNES9XTYL, pressing the two shoulder buttons will take you to the menu.

EDIT: Can't seem to get DGEN running... Anyone have success with it yet?

I haven't used this, but when I was on 2.6 using the eloader of the time, newer versions of DGen didn't work for me. You may have to use 1.3 or older.
------------------------------------------------------------
This is gonna sound silly, but if they make one of these for 2.71, I may try it out with DevHook.

Thanks for your help!

[carpy]

DGEN doesn't run.

ANY versions.

I went back as far as 1.10c.

nada.

[burrito]

does this work with the full speed gba emulator and TA-082??

[mavsman4457]

There should be any compatibility issues with TA-082's.

[burrito]

There should be any compatibility issues with TA-082's.
what????

[penileartery]

wow sounds great..i wish i had another psp and i would try it i love my 1.5 too much to try it :D

[scarph]

hehehe the real question that should be on your minds is, will this brick some noobz psp when he uses the 2.5/2.6 downgrader. has anyone tried that.

[burrito]

does this work with ta-082??

[psiko_scweek]

awesome! i might actually update my 1.5 once they release the TIFF exploit that patches your RAM.

[Veskgar]

does this work with ta-082??
YES! In my opinion, TA-082 owners will be the primary users of this new eLoader becaus quite frankly, if you have a downgradable PSP and won't downgrade, you are missing out on a lot.

There is replacement for the 1.50 homebrew experience.


awesome! i might actually update my 1.5 once they release the TIFF exploit that patches your RAM.
!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?


How's user mode different from kernal mode?
Can 1.5 have more homebrew than this eloader?
Kernel mode allows for many more PSP resources to become available for running homebrew. ME (Media Engine) & WiFi to name a couple benefits. 1.50 firmware has MANY more homebrew apps & EMU's available for it.

[burrito]

and does the full speed gba emulator work on this? whats the highest firmware this works with?

[eldj]

gpsp0.5 works but 0.6 does not
Note: 16mb roms doesnt run in gpsp 0.5

[burrito]

How's user mode different from kernal mode?
Can 1.5 have more homebrew than this eloader?

[BL4Z3D247]

i thought this eloader was supposed to support kernel mode? ohh well, atleast now i can devhook this and use all the up-to date emus :D

[M!ckeY]

yes, 1.50 can run all homebrew :)

[burrito]

Which N64 emulator works with this eloader?

[Poor-Kingz]

FINALLY! just in time for school so i can show it off.

so no genisus emulators work with 2.5?

[BL4Z3D247]

Dgen 1.30 works with 2.5

also Daedalus R8 is running reeeeeeeally good on this eloader(devhook'd) :D

[Zourn]

My mini-review:
v2.6fw/TA-082 :(

snes9xTYL 0.4.2 - boots into emu fine, but crashes upon trying to load roms

DGen - I can't get this to run, I've tried the 1.4, 1.3, .7 loads but isn't even worth using, and the load .7 then 1.3 trick doesn't work with this version either

Quake - works, I think it actually runs better, but I may be wrong.

As far as the actual eMenu, it's actually rather nice looking and the USB enabler works for me in this version, even though it hasn't in any of the previous releases.

[Video_freak]

Dgen 1.30 works with 2.5

also Daedalus R8 is running reeeeeeeally good on this eloader(devhook'd) :D
Awesome news! Glad we don't need GTA anymore... :)

[razorak]

oh boy i've been waiting for this and finally it's here!

aww man...pspvba 1.2.4 won't load

[***Sentry***]

hello
does the Daedalus emu work with the e loader + a 2.00 psp? is the performance the same?
If so :>)

[cronaroth]

I cant figure out how to get this to work-HELP!

[razorak]

use the autoinstaller, install the whole thing onto ur psp (i'm not sure which files are not needed). To run the eloader, go to ur photo viewer on the XMB and select the eloader98 file. once u press the button to open that folder, it will auto run

[BL4Z3D247]

hello
does the Daedalus emu work with the e loader + a 2.00 psp? is the performance the same?
If so :>)
well i was using devhook to use this eloader and yes Daedalus R8 ran just the same as on a 1.5fw

[cronaroth]

i meant I cant figure out how to get any homebrew and emulators to work-is NesterJ compatible?

[razorak]

i haven't exactly tested it out cos my psp is outta batt. the only thing i got to try was Daedalus R8 1.00 eboot before my battery went dead

[BL4Z3D247]

i'll try nesterj real quick

[razorak]

would a kind soul start a compatability thread for this new eloader?

[cronaroth]

would I kind soul please put instructions on how to get the eBoot loader to recognize eboot files so I can run emulators?

[razorak]

erm..first things first, wad's your firmware?

[BL4Z3D247]

nesterj 1.20alpha works like a charm

[cronaroth]

2.60-and it recognizes Daedelis but it then goes back to the menu when I select it...

[razorak]

try reinstalling the eloader
then reinstall the daedalus- make sure that u have the 1.00 eboot
then after that try to boot it up with the eloader. If it still doesn't work u may want to let your psp have a little rest or something...like give it a hard reset or sumthing =/

it's awfully weird though...i even managed to get super mario 64 running on my 2.6

[BL4Z3D247]

u talking about me?? :confused:

[jshum9999]

sweet...do we need to copy over the save game files if we're not using GTA loader?

Thanks

[razorak]

i dun think so...but i did so that if some homebrew can't be run on this eloader, i'll always have my gta as backup..lol

[Zourn]

sweet...do we need to copy over the save game files if we're not using GTA loader?

Thanks
what?
if you were previously using the GTA eLoader, then you don't need to change anything in the homebrews, it all loads back the same.

[vladiftodi]

JFYI only 2 kinds of ppl can remove post, the person posting and mods admins etc...

u talking about me?? :confused:
don now\
i made this news before thewebimaster, and maybe he deleted it and posted again, is this fair? it wasn spam or amtagainst rules, it was just news, and hje delete it and osted his own, the samde, got it?

[Zourn]

don now\

maybe you posted while he was still typing up his post and linking everything, then he deleted it because it was extraneous and not as well written. Either way, don't really worry about it.

[M!ckeY]

yup, no need to worry, because the webmaster is bada$$ :D

[zx-81]

oh boy i've been waiting for this and finally it's here!

aww man...pspvba 1.2.4 won't load

All my emulator ports work fine but not pspvba ... :(
May be with the tiff, we don't have a lot of RAM available ... i don't know. :confused:

[Zourn]

Are you guys doing anything special to make DGen and snes9xTYL to work, or just booting them up?

[jshum9999]

what?
if you were previously using the GTA eLoader, then you don't need to change anything in the homebrews, it all loads back the same.

what i mean is, can i play GTA like it was normally intended, and STILL have access to homebrew?

Also, I tried the loader and snes9xTYL the menus would load, but when you try loading a game, it'll freeze in a black screen.

gpSP v0.6 doesn't work, but v0.5 loads the menu. When i try loading a game, it says that there was an error loading it.

Quake works really well.

Hope this helps.

[dejkirkby]

Good work Fanjita and Ditlew. Keep it up!!!

[jak66]

what i mean is, can i play GTA like it was normally intended, and STILL have access to homebrew?
you could with the gta loader, all you had to do was make a backup of your save on the pc, instal eloader then copy your save back, then it would start gta and if you wanted eloader youd just load eloader from the load menu


All my emulator ports work fine but not pspvba ... :(
May be with the tiff, we don't have a lot of RAM available ... i don't know. :confused:
maybe this tiff is just as memory greedy as the 2.0 tiff exploit was

[ronaldinho11]

your the gay boy

[Veskgar]

the webmaster is rather gay
Come on dude! Wraggster deserves all the respect in the world.

[Kramer]

the webmaster is rather gay

Your rather gay now piss off and stop flaming on this site.
(yes I know this is flaming too:p)

[Nogueiro]

By the way, does anyone know how to exit out without removing the battery pack? It seems I can't get out of the game I'm playing without pulling the battery out and rebooting.

[burrito]

What is kernal mode? Can this eloader have it?

[razorak]

no kernel mode yet apparently. it's in the works though if i understand it correctly

[Mr.Denny]

Excellent!

No more loading GTA :)

Thank you very much guys!

[razorak]

not exactly Mr Denny...there are a couple of compatability issues at its current satge...lol

you may still have to use the gta version to play homebrew that cannot run on this new one

[X-Snake-X]

Well... Does this work for a pre-flashed 2.6?
And if yes...
How do i get it to work?
I tried at first the TIFF only version...
Can I now start games directly from the Memory Card or not? I tried it with Snes9x but it doesn't work...

[ronaldinho11]

the webmaster is rather gay

not wraggster, i meant the mast of web. kramer ur gay tho n stop sendin me private messages

[***Sentry***]

hello
anyone get a snes or nes emu to work on a 2.0 psp?

[cronaroth]

All my emulator ports work fine but not pspvba ... :(
May be with the tiff, we don't have a lot of RAM available ... i don't know. :confused:

What SNES emulator do you have? I cant get one to work?

[zx-81]

would a kind soul start a compatability thread for this new eloader?

On http://psp-homebrew.eu there is already a DB with all tested homebrews using this eloader version :)

[Mariopop87]

They're working on a loader for 2.80?

Thank god! :D

[Poor-Kingz]

im kind of disapointed. i never had a taste of homebrew and was excited when this finally came out. however there is still many compatibility issues. but im gonna keep searching.

[cronaroth]

On http://psp-homebrew.eu there is already a DB with all tested homebrews using this eloader version :)

I got the emulator to run-but non of the ROMS will work

[burrito]

Do any gameboy color or N64 emulators work with this eloader?

[NovaKane]

Great work since I don't plan on downgrading from 2.60 anytime soon, but I hope they fix the compatibility issues soon.

Homebrew not working that used to work with GTA eLoader:
- CPS2 and NeoGeo (MVS) emus run, but cache files won't load up now.
- OpenBor (Beats of Rage emu) loads, but the game won't play after selecting a character.
- DGen 1.30
- GameMusicEmu

I don't mind loading GTA until the new eLoader improves. This is still good stuff though. Keep up the great work!

[burrito]

If you use GTA, can you load ISOs?

[Broadus]

No loading ISOs unless you have 1.5. And 1.0, I'd assume. Not that it matters.

This is awesome! I haven't run into any problems yet compared to GTA eLoader, though by the reports of others it's apparent that the problems exist, but this is just great!
No more having to wait for GTA to start up, then going to load the eLoader save. Just go to photos and start it up! This is a HUGE advancement, great for people who don't own GTA and are stuck on 2.x.

I can't find anything about this on the front page. Maybe I'm blind.

[ReDX]

i'm running psp v.2.5 with eloader 0.9.7 non gta needed trying to run gba emu tryed psp gba 1.2 and pspvba v.1.2.4 and none seem to be working they all crash when i try to run the game. tryed a bunch of games and nothing has anyone had any luck with this only tried rpg games since thats all i play

[Broadus]

Oh, now that I actually try the 0.9.8 eLoader, I haven't managed to get any emulators to work. Still, I've gotten some homebrew like Super Mario War working fine.

[RetroGoth]

I think I'll stay with gta eloader but still nice work!

[ronaldinho77]

uh

[osiris661]

Wow, wow, wow!!!!!! Awesome, there is hope for my PSP running HomeBrew. I am going to laod this thing now and start to mess around with it.:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[osiris661]

So I have this eloader in my PSP and it runs some great games so far. Last night I was playing Ghouls and Ghosts on the Genesis Emu while riding home on the bus. My PSP dreams have come true, I am a happy clam :rolleyes: :D
Here is my question, will this eloader allow you to be able to play UMD rom files? If so, which UMD emulator should I use? I have like 16 of the PSP "Game Packs" downloaded but don't know which UMD emulator might work with this eloader. Could someone please let me know if this is possible. Many many thanks for the reply.
Long live PSP HomeBrew!!!!!!!

[razorak]

#1 Fanjita is against piracy so no UMD emulators launching of isos etc thru use of the eloader

#2 U're not supposed to talk about isos on this site

[osiris661]

so sorry, I am a complete noob. Sorry it won't happen again.

[kryodyne]

After installing this eloader I open photo>eloader 098 and then my memory stick led stays on steady and nothing happens, I even tried formatting my MS and use the eloader installer and the same thing happens. I am using FW 2.00, btw eloader 097 works fine after using the 96 background

[kryodyne]

ok, even stranger - 1 out of 10 seems to get it to work, any ideas?

[JKKDARK]

great news :)

[JD/]

i know this may have been answered in a previous post but im a bit busy and couldn't look through all of them :p so can you now use the downgrader for 2.6 using the libtiff exploit instead of gta

[ICE]

not sure but you could always just upgrade to 2.71 then downgrade.

[jshum9999]

Hello,
So I currently using TA-82 2.6fw with GTA exploit and porter.
I'm a bit confused about the whole kernel mode, and I was wondering if someone could clarify this for me.

My friends got me LocoRoco, but it requires me to upgrade to 2.71. If i upgrade to 2.71 does that mean I won't be able to do kernel mode anymore for my PSP?

Also, once kernel mode becomes available for 2.6, does that mean I'll be able to use devhook and emulate higher firmware.

Thanks

[Video_freak]

Devhook could possibly by used on 2.6 to emulate higher firmwares. I'm not 100% sure, but I thought the 2.71 eLoader had kernal mode too...
If I were you, I would just wait (don't update for a demo, that's what Sony wants...)

[jshum9999]

(don't update for a demo, that's what Sony wants...)

I actually have the full game, my friends got it for me....but yeah I think i'll wait.
I just feel bad because my friends keep asking me if I've played it yet, and I don't want to seem ungrateful.

so does any one know? can i used devhook with 2.6 to emulate a higher firmware?
i can't downgrade cuz i have TA-82

thanks

[razorak]

the answer is no, not with devhook at any rate, due to the lack of kernel support of the eloader. they're still working on one that ahs kernel access.

[jshum9999]

thanks for the help.

last question, so only 2.0-2.6 will allow kernel mode once it's available?

Thanks

[razorak]

i dun see why any1 under 2.5 won't downgrade...they have a non ta-082 mobo for sure

Only those versions that exploits have been found for kernel will have kernel...eventually. Do not forget that they still have to work on one for 2.70 and 2.71, those 2 firmware still can't experience homebrew. i suspect that maybe a user mode eloader may come out to include 2.70 and 2.71 first before proceeding for kernal mode. This is only my opinion, it may not be true

[RetroGoth]

just wait for the ta82 2.6 downgrader that's what I'm doing.

[1up]

Can someone help me out?
I have this already installed, with the EBOOT.PBP gba.bios & gpsp.cfg , as im trying to run that emulator (v.07)

the emulators shows up on the 'emenu' i click it, it says "we are all noobz" (which seems normal" but then it goes black with some text at the top just saying ' eloader v0.98 www.noobz.eu.."
then shuts off/

so can someone help me please?!:confused:

[eldj]

that emulator doesnt work via the libtiff exploit, if you want to run gpsp use the gta exploit or wait until another release

[razorak]

If u really want to use gpsp, u can run gpsp05 with the tiff loader, u can't play roms above 16mb though

i want to get this for my brother-in-law (2.6) but im not sure if i should bother... how many of you guys would give this a good review?? thanks for the help in advance.

oh and ive already thought about upgrading him to 2.71 then downgrading but he wont risk it.

[Broadus]

Not sure if you should bother? It's eLoader, not a time-consuming waste of money or something.
Also, unless your brother has one of those TA-082 motherboards, there shouldn't be any risk in downgrading. He should downgrade right away, and forget all about eLoader. I only wish I didn't have a TA-082, then I'd be downgraded all kinds.
But always remember to check the inside of the UMD area for those numbers on the green part, signifying TA-082-ness. Also, you don't have to upgrade to 2.71 to downgrade, you can do it straight from 2.6.

yup use dark_alex's easy install downgrader for 2.6 its really user friendly and does most of the work for you.
Im most sure they have it here at DCEmu and if they don't just ask and ill pm it to you or email:D

can anyone tell me why my psp keeps shutting off???
I have a ta-082, that shouldnt matter.
2.60 firmware
snes9xtyl rom
not playing a big game, its like 3 megs...
any clue?
it loads fine until you load the game, thenit shuts off

[Video_freak]

That's odd Russ. Maybe it's a bad ROM?

[Russoxley187]

[razorak]

Hi

Our forum members and all around excellent PSP Sceners/Coders Ditlew (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/search.php?searchid=706107) and Fanjita (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/search.php?searchid=706105) have released the ultimate version of the Eloader App for the PSP.

(Eloader lets you load homebrew on any console with a firmware of v2.0 to v2.6 :))


Noobz are proud to announce the release of the latest eLoader version, 0.9.8, otherwise known as the "Porter" release.

This version brings user-mode homebrew to v2.0-v2.6 PSPs, without the need for Grand Theft Auto. Now, almost all the software that worked with GTA can now be used without it.

Other changes:
eMenu has been improved in various small ways.
The default menu is now eMenu, the old menu has been retired.

By now you're probably wondering, "What on earth is Porter?". Or maybe, what's next? Well, here's a rough roadmap for what we're currently working on:
A user-mode loader for v2.70 and v2.71.
A user-mode loader for v2.80.
A loader to support kernel-mode homebrew on those platforms where it is possible.
A way to do away with eLoader altogether, and load homebrew directly from the XMB.
We will not predict when these will be ready (so please don't ask!), but we're working as fast as we can on them.

Truly excellent work from 2 of the PSP scenes best :)
