Some Homebrew Questions

[footiefootie11]

Hi i am new to the psp and here are my question

1 what is popsloader
2 what is pops
3 what is PsxDecrypter
4 what is Dax Ziso Loader
5 what is UMD Dax Dumper Beta
6 what is the difference between a downdater and a downgrader
7 what is hen

I will give you +rep if you answer my questions

No rep anymore :P

1. Not sure to be honest, im guessing it loads popstation games

2. Popstation

3. Not sure

4. Plays DAX format games (illegal to talk about here)

5. It dumps a DAX format disk image off a UMD

6. Ive never even heard of a downdater, downgrader is to take your firmware down from what it was.

7. HEN is a homebrew enabler, it allows you to be homebrew ready just while the PSP is on, this requires no flashing but it will go back to normal when youre psp is turned off.

Thanks for your help what happened to rep

If Dax Ziso Loader is illegal i won't do it then as their is no point in breaking the law. Is downgrading illgal

[Triv1um]

The rep system was taken away, because it was getting out of hand.

No downgrading is not illegal i dont believe.

Playing backup games is not always illegal aslong as it is a backup from your UMD.

But still we don't give advice on playing backups etc. because it leads to piracy.

What is your current PSP firmware?

[footiefootie11]

My firmware is 3.03 and I have researched and know about the lcs downgrader but I am very worried that I may brick my psp (I do have lcs though) Should I bother and how does it brick

[Triv1um]

I used the GTA 3.03 downgrader, no problems at all.

I never never known a brick when it is done properly.

The only was to brick is if the flash0 get corrupt from your mistake, like turning it off while its flashing will corrupt your flash0 meaning brickage.

Have a full battery and read the readme through before you do anything.

Sounds easy enough I will research it some more and may do it within the next week

What homebrew aplications do you reccomend

[Triv1um]
