The Good and Bad of the PSP Scene

Why are you talking about Devhook in such a negative way? Devhook is a major milestone in PSP history. Give it some respect.

I already let my friends with unhacked psps borrow my Pandora battery and memory stick.

and?

that was one of the last few eloaders released :rofl: that's the one that comes with all the goodies at the menu

though i missed the filebrowsing from the 2.00 version

i guess it had to be given up when the "GAME150" folder-ing was adopted, because of kmode and user-mode.

1.50 was actually entirely ran in kmode. if user-mode was introduced in 1.50 instead of 2.00, 1.00 prolly would have been the golden firmware. i miss the 4-second gameboot screen from 1.00

games take so long to start now

I think the most amazing introduction is the ability to play any PS1 game, a year ago we were like FF7 at 13fps......................amazing!!!!!!. Ha Ha!!!! happy days!!!

i wasnt in the scene very long but i jumped in a few months before the TA-082 Downgrader was released. devhook days were the best (having 1.50, 2.71, and 3.01 firmwares on one psp just by using devhook..

) it was great. then i remember when eloader for 2.80 came out, obviously i didnt update cuz i could already emulate 1.50 firmware to play my homebrew and stuff.

i'd kill for a full-function 1.00 emulator ;p

Dude, Wraggster, everyone, I may not post much but I come here all the time and have since way back when.

Just want to say, I really appreciate this great site, as it more than any others defines the scene for me. Not to mention makes my PSP roughly a hundred times more fun. =)
