How-To: get homebrew on your 2.0-2.6 PSP

by Christopher Grant { Jan 31st 2006 at 6:30PM }

Alright, so you've read about the latest eLoader that promises to get homebrew running on your PSP with version 2.0-2.6 firmware. Problem is, you can't seem to make head nor tails of the instructions on how to get this stuff working. C.K. Sample, III literally wrote the book on PSP hacks (entitled PSP Hacks, coming soon to a bookstore near you) and he's posted his how-to guide on hack a day for us to enjoy.

It goes something like this:

Get yourself GTA: Liberty City Stories
Copy over the eLoader
Load it up in GTA
Play homebrew stuff

Sure, his is a little better, and a little more thorough, but that's the gist of it. He also warns, "none of the homebrew apps that are my favorites currently run via this exploit," so you may be waiting awhile before everything gets caught up. Any intrepid Joystiqers try out this expoit?

I have v.2.60 and I played Quake on my PSP... it is working fine...

is there anyway to get it without liberty city stories?

Ok, I know how to hack my PSP, but when I boot up GTA after uploading the eboot, nothing works. Everything freezes up on both my SNES and NES emulators. What's up with that? Any one else have this problem? If so, how the hell can I fix it? And Fanjita, you rock man, but we need a loader that doesn't require GTA (although that was the best idea that anyone has made as a hack).

PSP - Lumines = teh sUxorZ

Im so dissappointed with everything PSP except Lumines. Looking forward to getting a DSlite asap though.

Man it just shows the immaturity of some DS lovers/owners.
this is concerning the psp not the ds.
they are both great game consoles but we are only talking about one in this post.

I use it to play my old snes roms and its quite effective. It crashes when it tries to load every once in a while, but, it gives the psp a new use. Excellent work by Fanjita.

To the "haters", buy a DS Lite and a PSP and grow up. Bashing is so junior high.
