I don't mean to sound like a noob, but how the hell do I use this?

Its not so much how you use this firmware, its how this decrypted firmware could enhance your PSP's capabilities someday. If this firmware is implemented into DevHook, it would basically turn your 1.50 PSP into a 2.81 as well. So you would have the best of both worlds.

Devhook will not be released anytime soon sorry guys! as far as booster goes he is laying low for now! but, the new coders will reveal themselves in the next few months. It will be pointless to release devhook now as Sony is just testing the waters with a few new games that use 2.80 and 2.81. sony as a company is trying to close up the holes by releasing new firmware versions and only a few games that support them. they are trying to stop what has been going on! So devhook will take a while before the next new version is released. booster and the few new members now coding devhook are just waiting for enough games to be released before there next release so don't hold your breath waiting it will in fact be at least 4 months until the next release! and please don't look to me for answers I am just letting you guys know.

Sony is not trying to stop the homebrew scene but, are more interested in stopping the piracy of there products. given enough time they will close all the holes in the firmware, and believe me you they will not make this mistake with the next portable system they produce (((PSP II))). Moreover, we do not want sony to drop this system all together and announce a new one that does not support memory cards over 256 Meg. That only plays UMD's

Homebrew is here to stay, Sony does accept it but, they don't like it, as they cannot force us to update or introduce code that automatically updates our systems by law (these laws vary from country to country)...

The next devhook is most likely ready to go but, sony is playing a game called lets close all the holes in our firmware before our new 3.0 is released. The coders most likely realize the games that are being played here and are playing a waiting game of their own.

Enjoy!

booster is still "around", you just don't know where. no one new is taking on fw loaders.

there are some extra securities in 2.8 that prevent it from being emulated. it is being worked on by some well known devs..
