Homebrew on PSP-2000 series

Can anyone tell me approximately how long after the new slim PSP's release that homebrew will be available on it or if it ever will be?

I know this isn't an easy question to ask since nobody has had a crack at it. I really want one cuz my current PSP is in pretty bad shape, but I don't wanna have to give up homebrew. I wanna wait until homebrew becomes available on the PSP Slim before I make the switch.

I'm not asking for a definite answer. I just want to hear the opinions of both the PSP coders and users like me.

well first the coders need to get access to the firmware
3.60 is what the slim comes with
then its all downhill from there

There is no way to estimate it.

im no expert but if u want my opinion, id say about 3 months.

if fanjita was at "the sharp end " of developing and crack etc. probably not long lol.... he's a legend at stuff like that

It could be a few months or years. It depends on if all the old firware crackers are able to find an exploit

or if someone leaks version of the firmware

You can dump the firmware but it's a case then of gaining Kernal access to actually downgrade.........it's more complicated than that.

it WILL be hacked though nonetheless

Well there were reports that Pandora's Battery wouldn't run but the memory stick light flashed meaning the code was excecuted but with problems IE: The menu didnt appear. There is a chance that the code will change allowing the downgrade to 1.50

1, small question. could a psp slim even run 1.5? at best the video out and extras wont work, at worst it could lock up completely, or be another new mobo.

how the hell would you dump the firmware in the 2000?

Couldn't you just download it from the Sony website? I'm sure 3.60 will be available as an upgrade for the old PSPs.

that's not dumpin tho, it's more like decryptin...dumpin is striaght from flash

Basically, what I'm hoping for is a 3.60 custom firmware, where you'll have all the features of the new PSP plus the homebrew capability of a v1.50 PSP.

I'm just thinking would it be likely for Sony to release seperate firmwares for the 1000 series and the 2000 series? Since the 1000 PSP's are unable to utilise the 2000 PSP's video out function.

Then again, Sony could release just the one firmware for both PSPs and if a user tries to use the video out function on an old PSP, a message will appear telling them that they can only use the function on the new PSP.

Oh, I just realised that you need to downgrade to 1.50 before installing a custom firmware. Xo
And since 3.60 is the default firmware, downgrading a series 2000 PSP would be impossible, unless an exploit is found, of course.

But that's my opinion. There are a lot of talented coders on this forum and I'm sure they will try their best to unlock the new PSPs.

GASPORZ!!! :eek:

I've heard of this, and it pretty much answers my question. So no need for this thread anymore. :D

personally ive tried pandoras battery but the software on the slim recognizes the file and overrides it via other prgms

on psp slim its diffrent you have to go hardmod the battery if you cant get a fat pandora battery. I did it but I was so scared lol i even tryed to unmod the hardmod cause I thought I broke it.
