Breaking News: Full Kernal Access for 2.5/2.6 users Via New exploit

[V3N0M]

For any 1.5 users that might be confused by this... This is great news and all and could potiently lead to Full access homebrew on a 2.6 (Having kernal) Without the use of GTA Liberty City But do not upgrade just yet as it is not all the way there just yet. For now i'm going to use Devhook but it seems 1.5 users might be able to upgrade and bring full homebrew with us, in the near future.-(This was just for people who might be a little confused)

Can i ask WHY everyone wants a downgrader? THIS IS A 2.6 FW THAT RUNS ALL 1.5 APPS. There would be no benefit of downgrading to 1.5, in fact it would literally be a downgrade if you went from 2.6.

This is not a 2.6 firmware or firmware mod that runs all 1.5 apps. This program and/or exploit simply dumps the kernel memory when executed on a 2.6 FW PSP. With a kernal memory dump we might finally be able to decrypt higher firmwares like 2.60 and above. This could help pave the path to many cool things. And if Fanjita is on board, 2.50 & 2.60 users should be really excited about a possible loader that can load much more than it currently can.

I think this has its potential benefits to both 1.50 users & 2.60 users. It could possible give 2.50/2.60 users to take advantage of ALL homebrew.

For 1.50 users I think this is even more promising. The hopes for this is to get 2.60 & higher firmware running or emulated on 1.50. That would be sweet. I'd prefer loading homebrew the 1.50 way than the GTA way. But the loader may work a different way than the eLoader does currently so we'll have to wait and see.

Its good news for every PSP owner interested in homebrew. NO mattter what firmware you have.

If everything works as planned, then what would be the point of 1.5 users emulating 2.6? They could just upgrade and it would be better for them because of all the extra features it has (web browsing, extra codecs, ect.)

Well sure I could upgrade my 1.50 to 2.60. But its not like the mod chip. You would still need some way (eLoader) to load the homebrew. Unless custom firmwares can be created to upgrade to without a mod chip, it may not be as simple as it is with 1.50. (Just select your homebrew app, press X and your all set)...

Its just my own opinion but I'm skeptical that maybe not ALL 1.50 homebrew would work after upgrading.

And about the web browser and codecs. I have all of that with my 1.50. 2.50 can be fully emulated and actually the web browser works better now for 1.50 users because we can overclock the PSP which makes the PSP browser CRAZY fast. Much faster than it is on 2.00+ (I have compared) 1.50 PSP's can have all video codecs of 2.50 & 2.60 and THEN SOME. 2.60 PSP's are limited to AVC 320x240 resolution. But PMP on a 1.50 can play videos at full 480x272 resolution.

So in closing I really think 1.50 will remain the superior firmware as far as homebrew goes. And I would very much prefer being able to load higher firmwares or features of higher firmwares at will while maintaining 100% homebrew capable 1.50 firmware.

If this can get it so it runs WITHOUT GTA (I will never buy GTA) I will upgrade if not I will stay at 1.5. But this is good news for everybody on 2.5, 2.6.

I don't think they will since it needs the security hole found in GTA: LCS to run it. It may be possible to do it without booting gta by having an eboot that checks the umd drive to load the security crack. but you will need gta.

P.S. Why won't you buy it?
