Rumour Time - Downgrader for 2.71 Coming Soon ?

[jools]

don't understand this, people tell me I need to downgrade from 2.71 to get emulators and then others tell me I don't have to, what's the deal!?

you won't have to soon

For now you do. But thats what this threads about. Pretty soon you won't have to downgrade to play homebrew.

once the new exploit/elaoder is released (soon) you won't need to downgrade to run emulators.

I cant wait this is what ive been waiting for forever, i hope they get it to work on 2.8 tho eventually.

so should i just sit back and patiently wait for a 2.71 eloader or downgrade and get devhook?

will this will work with TA-082 motherboards? My friends getting a PSP soon and i want to introduce him to the homebrew scene

copied from other post:

Hmm, I don't know where the definition of "soon" as "tomorrow" came from.

Here's the facts, do with them what you will:

As has been mentioned before - an eloader will come soon for the TIFF exploit. To expect decent 2.71 support (and especially kernel support) immediately would be naive.

2.7+ is very hard to work with, it's being worked on but you can't expect a high level of compatibility very soon.

Kernel support is being worked on, but it will still take some time. All this TIFF stuff has somewhat interrupted a lot of the kernel work.

Having said that, any eloader that is produced should support the kernel exploit in firmwares that the eloader can support, and that the kernel exploit is present in (i.e. 2.5 - 2.71). So tricks that already use the kernel exploit (like the downdater) will be possible - but again, they may require some adaptation, possibly.

fyi for those who missed it

Without immediate access to Kernel mode, users of 2.80 will only be able to play things that are workable on user mode.
This will not be too horrible, however, as up until now, users of firmware 2.00 could also only use user mode applications. Thus, once an eboot loader is released for 2.80, it should be able to run almost everything that the 2.00 eboot loader could run (and that was quite a bit of stuff).

Clarification: this discussion centers around the exploit for 2.00-2.71. The 2.80 exploit is also being developed, but it will take more time to complete. Patience to all. It will surely come in good time.
