You can open them with the existing kernals (3.xx/4.xx or 1.50).
The idea is that you can have the utopia, 3.xx, and 1.50 kernals. Unless you have a slim, then it would be just the utopia and 3.xx kernals.

I think even if it ended up being so only utopia could be run in a cfw, i'm sure a clever coder could make a launcher for current homebrew. Something that whould require the 1.50 or 3.xx eboots or kernals i'm sure. I'm honestly looking foward to this. We could kinda open the doors from sony, this blows them off the hinges with explosives, so to speak.
Did I miss something?
Why exactly are they making a kernal for a console, that already has one that's better (and can run games)?
Because it's going to be a fully documented, open source and highly flexible kernel.
How many weeks did it take to have a "complete" port of SNES9xTYL on the 3.xx kernels? many, because of problems getting ME to work as it did in 1.50.
That's the point of this, not having to worry about changing something because Sony did. Not even mentioning the annoyance of going function hunting.
For those of you mentioning a dual boot, there is no need. How many times have you gotten into the need to "dual boot" your PSP recently (TM aside since this is different). Probably never, even though you have 3.xx, POPs and 1.50 (Phat). This kernel is just an operating mode, not a whole new operating system.
I also anticipate this is part of the
"new features" Mathieulh mentioned coming to 4.00 M33
its just a kernel so you could still use the sony stuff as long as it doesnt overwrite the sony kernel
