Fanjita (http://www.fanjita.org/) has released Tetris which is playable on Firmware V2.5 PSP Consoles, heres what he posted:

There are still a few issues with the v2.6 GTA loader, so for now I decided to release the Tetris for v2.5 users, so that they can have some fun. Full instructions for installation are in the README.TXT file inside the archive. Remember that you will need WinRAR or a similar utility to open the RAR-format package.

Heres the full details from the readme.txt

<blockquote>Tetris for GTA v1.5 by Fanjita
================================

Includes code by:
Groepaz
Delyan Kalchev
Edison Carter
Bitmap1
Ditlew

This is a simple demonstration that homebrew games are possible for PSP firmwares v2.01 and v2.5 via the Grand Theft Auto savegame exploit. It is also a test of the general-purpose GTA loader that will be used as the basis for running the EBOOT loader on v2.01+.

At the moment this game will not work on firmware v2.6, but I hope to release an update very soon that will. It also will not work on the censored German version of GTA - again, I hope to release an update soon.


To install:
===========

Unzip the contents of this package into the /psp/savedata folder on your memory stick. Note that if you have an existing savegame that uses slot 5, then this will be overwritten by the Tetris savegame.


To use:
=======

Start up GTA as normal. When it has loaded, select "Load Game", select the Tetris savegame and confirm the load as normal. After a short delay, the Tetris game should start.

To quit the game, you will need to hold your power button for 10 seconds. The HOME button looks like it might work, but it doesn't, yet.</blockquote>

So for all of you with v2.01 and v2.5 PSP Firmware, get trying and let us know how you get on and your findings, bugs and of course credits to Fanjita for this reakthrough.

You go Fanjita! Thanks to those who helped with the code as well! I'll upgrade right now to test it out right away... not.

Actualy I refuse to upgrade farther than 2.0 until I'm able to obtain a motherboard for my bricked PSP, then I'll keep 1 of 'em at 1.5 and upgrade the other one as homebrew progresses (such as this little jem :D ) but definitely NOT as firmware progresses. I'm already happy though that I can now go all the way to 2.5 when I do get my other one fixed. I'm almost tempted to hang around the store waiting for someone to pay cash for a PSP so I can nab the reciept and turn mine in (I charged it all night but it still won't turn on.. boo hooo... ;) )

hey i think that somone finaly getting anything to work on 2.5 is awesome! i still have 1.5 tho so it doesent help me any, but when YS 6 comes out on psp, i sure hope its for a firmware that someone cracked, cause i am gonna update to whatever it takes to play the 6th instalment of the greatest game ever, lol . . . . . and sorry to go off topic here . . . . . but ModMan, your amd athalon +2400 isnt exactly impressive. . . . thats what i have and its still to slow to play mafia, and thats with a 400 mhz front side bus. . .
