only problem with that is, what if it does indeed see it as an update, and try to install all the files into bios? hehe, getting all your psp system files over-written by the snes emulator files might not be too good... :D

unfortunatly i uploaded 2.0 before i even knew about hombrew so i have no clue how it work or what it does. is there any way to get it to go, infact how do u hack n to the damn thing?
is there any way to beak the consouls main code?then we wont need to worry about updates to come
You guys with the 1.51+ We feel for you. remember us 1.5 useres went through the same thing.
My homebrew story.
Even before the launch day of the psp.
when I was still dreaming of what possibilities this new handheld system could have.
I got to thinking. Damn I thought. I remember a few years ago when I was heavily into emulation. All the fun I had playing chrono trigger, and tenchi and final fantasy 5, See as of then final fantasy 5 hadnt come to the US.
And then I started thinking.
Gee the psp is going to have a 333 mhz processor. lol that what i had in my computer back then. Wouldnt it be awsome if the psp could play all those games I had. As luck would have it I had an old disk backed up with every rom that I used to play back then. To give you an example of what time I left the emulation scene, Neo demiforce had just released his first english patch for radical dreamers. It was only about ten minuets into the game, and then back to japanese. I didnt know that it was compleated untill recently lol.
Then I remembered Zsnes, way back when, had page for downloads and one of the more interesting emulators they had was a super nintendo emulator for a camra. yes you could actuelly play snes games on one of those overly expensive camras :p
And then it hit me, Surely theres people working on an emulator for the psp.
There has to be. I hit up google and found dcemu. (this was before I had my psp and before the US launch date.)
And at that time there where no emulators out for the psp. Just nems hello world . (Whatever happened to Nem anyway :confused: ) But there was all kinds of news and speculation of emulators to Come.
I would visit every day. And finely by the time I got my psp Which was a 1.5.
emulation has hit the scene.
But alas.
1.5 couldnt play homebrew. Only those lucky people with the 1.0's could play.
Every day I would come back and read and research.
And finely this news of somone called Killerx surfaced.
everyone thought he was a fake.
And so did I.
But just like me others where entertained by the idea, that somwhere somone was makeing progress. one step closer to being able to play homebrew on there 1.5 psp's.
Then finely in what seemd like forever. Kxploit was released.
I quickly downloaded tetris. And of corse thought the program was a bunch of bullshit. And started reading the forums ( Heavily)to find out other people where having luck with this thing.
It turns out that the memstick swap had to be done within a five seconed time frame. And me i was so careful not to scratch my psp or smudge it, I was just takeing too long.
Success!!! I was playing tetris on MY PSP!!
Then I think it was one week later. The same incredibly talented person, Brought out the single card exploit. Riding us of the memstick swap forever.
Ever since that time I have been hopelessly adicted to homebrew. I will never leave this scene or the emulation scene ever again
what we need to do is install 1.5 to 2.0 as an update (name it 2.1 but inside is the content from 1.5). period
bye
Very true. And I just can't understand since it has been written so many times, why ppl like drunkelf would say "what we need to do is install 1.5 to 2.0 as an update (name it 2.1 but inside is the content from 1.5). period"Quote:

If you read little bit more (not everything but enough) (like me) in forums, you would know that since 1.51 (I repeat myself from other postings) EVERY program has Sony Signature wich the PSP has to check BEFORE starts running it. Changing lines won't make the signature appear.
(PSP white loading screan appears while the signature is being checked so I don't believe the movie posted in here)
After approvement of the signature, the program gets executed. If it's an update - the update itself starts writing in the flash memmory. I guess the update's signature has higher level of access. The checker is just approving and launching the program.Quote:

That's enough, you can't just start recalibrating your CD/DVD player to match it since you don't even know if it's weird hybrid of CD and DVD and something else.
I am so sorry for you folks but it seems to me that it's time to choose: Sony way or custom way
I choose the custom way, the homebrew, the illegal way. And I will start using those as soon as mass-approved hacked firmware shows up.
- Sony way: Pictures, Games, Movies, Internet
- Custom way: Everything "Sony way" has, exept the most new games + simplified code (smaller, faster) + SEGA + PSPide C++ + Linux.
Easy choide if you ask me.
oh, im sorry, but it does work. download frhed and try it. it shows the psp boot screen and the first update screen, but then it says that the file is corrupt and you have to turn your psp off.Quote:
