New PSP hack gets downgrader, e-Loader

The PSP homebrew community continues to work with blazing speed to add new features to Sony's portable. Since last week's revelation that allowed homebrew code to be run without a UMD on firmware up to version 2.8, hackers have released a firmware downgrader (that works on firmware up to version 2.71) and an e-Loader (for firmware up to version 2.6). These exploits allow PSP users to run a wide variety of tools, homebrew games and emulators on systems with more recent firmware. Be careful, though, the downgrader has been known to brick PSPs if the detailed process is not followed exactly.

The new e-loader does not require GTA, either. Important detail, IMO.

I did it already and have been playing sonic for the last few days.

Hey, guys. I did this the first day it came out... but it took me a while to get the files for it... All of the files are NOT included in the download from pspupdates or any other website. If you need them, I will give you ALL the files to downgrade your 2.71 PSP. I am almost 100% sure that this will not brick your PSP (I was scared at first) but I will not guarantee brick-free because it MAY happen. Welcome to 1.50!

wow. this is a great story (albiet a few days old), and only 4 posts in it. i guess there are too many Americans fuming that the PS3 is being delayed in *EUROPE* until March 2007 to care.
and yeah, i love how they failed to mention that the latest firmware crack doesn't require GTA. that's a huge, huge detail, as a lot of potential homebrewers didn't want to buy GTA to use homebrew.
oh well, i guess i'll go play Chrono Trigger.
on my PSP...without GTA...
