Custom firmware allows the best of both worlds [Update 1]

by Andrew Yoon on Oct 9th 2006 1:15AM

Super-programmer Dark_AleX continues his amazing work on the PSP by releasing a "Special Edition" firmware that combines 2.71's functionality and 1.50's homebrew compatibility. It's not the easiest process in the world, though (and it won't work on TA-082 PSPs). ~~You'll have to create a DXAR file, and copy some complicated-looking files around.~~ Once you install the custom firmware, you'll be able launch homebrew from the XMB, run ISOs, and legit games too. It's like having your cake, and eating it too.

[Thanks bumpi, Via PSP Hacks]

[Update 1: An easy installer has just been released.]

So can you use the web browser? This will be the first time I try this kind of thing.

I don't usually run homebrew (because it's wrong) but who cares this sounds nice. And props for the Jay-Z & R. Kelly (although he is a child molestor) album covr that was funny.

Hmm, homebrew is wrong? Since when :O Well, if that wouldn't be on my PSP, I really wouldn't give a s**t about PSP. These commercial crap games, dude, someone takes them seriously? Well, ok, few of them are good.. But not many enough to make psp worth it.. BTW, just ordered a 4gb ultra II stick, and, no, not for 4gb of gamesaves.

Yep webbrowser and all, and homebrew isnt wrong. What is wrong is using iso's of games you don't own.

Oh, and, if you took that last post offensive, nevermind the whole thing, please. Don't make a fight out of this.

"I don't usually run homebrew (because it's wrong)"

What gives you the mistaken perspective that homebrew is wrong. Thats an impossibility. Its like saying its wrong to run winamp since it wasn't written by Microsoft!

Does this work on firmware v2.8?
