Well even though I have a 1.5. I´m real glad the eloader is coming out. This way after using devhook patched, instead of going back to 1.5 to load a new homebrew, i´ll try loading through the eloader. I think it´s actually great that we will have options to play our homebrew. Definately exciting times for a PSP user.

i would downgraid for ceartian. but im on 2.80

will there be compatibility issues with a 2.71 eloader? i mean will the games be immediately compatible with the loader or will they need to be tweaked?

this wont directly affect me but heres my thoughts on this possiblity.
first if you did downgrade you can still fully emulate 2.71 so you wont lose anything.
second you have custom firmware which can allow you to boot into devhook directly and thereby make it seem like you are running 2.71.
third you can run anything that has already been released whereas the eloader may have compatability issues (initially at least).
eloader could be a good thing for those who are not willing to take the risk of the downgrade (the risk of downgrade would/will be as high as the recent 2.5/2.6 downgrader, maybe even higher)
however the eloader is based on an overflow exploit which means it could have stability issues (yet to be proven or proven wrong of course as it doesnt exist yet) but going by previous eloader experience it 'could' be a little unstable.
in conclusion if you are willing to take the risk go for the downgrader otherwise go for eloader - there will be a need for both.

downgrade!!!

Im sure if theres a stable downgrader like the 2.6>1.5 or 2.0 > 1.5 no one will want to stay on 2.7 since it can be emulated on 1.5 and custom firmware feels like a dual boot

good old harleyg's.
