After an extended absence, it appears that the programmer Booster is back. There was a scare back in August, when Sony approached the coder with some legal action. Now, nearly three months after firmware 2.80 was decrypted, a new version of DevHook is available for the homebrewing crowd out there. The latest version allows you to run homebrew directly from emulated 2.82 firmware, so there's less need to messily switch between firmwares. The latest version also includes an enticing folder called "3.0," but that doesn't seem to be in effect... yet. With DevHook, you can run most modern legal games and whatever homebrew applications you already have. Once again, it seems like the emulated firmware is better than the real deal.

Sweet...I'll totally turn on my PSP when I get home to see if there's anything new in 2.82. I don't remember what's on there at the moment because I stopped caring months ago.
Emulated software IS better than the real deal. I refuse to update my PSP if they make homebrew games/apps unavailable. I treat the DS the same way, but it's only had what...one firmware update (that wasn't mandatory anyway)?

From personal experience, I must say Installing Devhook is a pain in the rear... but .50 works oh so well :)
No overclocking yet tho, the new .50 is just a beta.

Now, just give us poor 2.80ers our downgrader, and everyone will be happy (except those who were screwed into installing fw 2.8x or 3.0x). I'm sorry i'm whining, but i need to be able to play my *cough*legal*cough* games from my MS. Seriously though, does anyone know why this d/g isn't happening yet? It's not even on noobz' WIP list
