Dark Alex's Time Machine - 1.50 Kernal for PSP Slim's

So, a 1.50 kernel is in the works for series 2000 PSPs huh? This is ace, makes me want to save up and buy the slimline handheld right now!

Im guessing this is gonna be a kernal addon just like he does for the phats when he makes new firmwares its probably still in testing though.

i knew it was possible, i just didnt think dax would bother, in my eyes this is for more compatibility with older homebrew.

i used to really want this, but now that its almost here i ask what is the real point?

what with 3.71m33 and 3.80m33... i like some of the features it already has, plus with not being able to load certain umd directly (tho im sure theres a way around this) id much rather have m33+1.50 or even m33 than simply 1.50. what exactly would be so much better with 1.50? what are we missing (besides IR)

and how is this double memory thing you guys are talking about work?

the slim psp has twice as much Ram than the fat psp, which 1.5 is native to.

theres a thread somwhere on lan.st that states that not only does the 1.5 kernel lack obvious features, like wpa encription, wma playback, etc. (unless dax has pathed them in) but is actually slower for things like RAM access than the newer kernels, which would mean slower computing so theres pretty much no point, everything should be released in the 3.xx

i would think in this first instance that 1.5 would be bootstrapped into 3.xx in a similar way that 2.71 was bootstrapped to 1.5 in dax's 2.71se. and i would also think that this would further slow the system down.

1.5 aint far from where it started and the name time machine is really quite adequite! this should be only used for looking back at the past. start coding with it and you would be messing with the timeline

wow this will be sweet

if this is real, it's definitely awesome...

Gotta agree with that. I love this PSP scene and all the possibilities that DAX has given us with CFW. Haven't been this excited since the first console/arcade emus started surfacing for PC's in the late 90's. Exciting times!

I wonder if a CPS-3 (Capcom Play System 3) emulator would be possible if the 1.50 kernal works along with the extra memory available!

Only NJ could pull that one off.

when is this getting released ????
