Who would have thought that a few days ago we had the v2.0 exploit with the ability to run code but only up to 64kb the onto last night with the downgrader release and the confirmation that it works and works on any PSP including the new Ceramic White ones. You can also reupgrade but why would you want to?
This site like most PSP sites are experaincing a major surge in visitors infact this site has smashed its record to bits and its looks like with so many hours to go that it will double and maybe more than that the previous record, add to that our forums have also smashed their record too.
Gotta say thanks to Martin64 our host and server admin for staying up the night and splitting our successful sites into more than one server to keep the load on the server down.
What are Sony going to do, well i wouldnt want to be a fly on the wall in their office as this will be a major downer for them, i would expect that most new games make you do another firmware update to play them, whatever happens the worldwide PSP audience can now play on their PSPs homebrew and emulation as much as they want.

The Gaming Press react to the PSP V2.0 Downgrader, this from GI.Biz:
In a further blow to Sony's efforts to curb the use of homebrew software and pirate games on the PlayStation Portable, hackers last night released a patch for the recently launched v2.00 firmware which allows it to be downgraded back to v1.50.
That, you may recall, is the last version to have the security loophole which allowed users to launch unauthorised third-party applications - including homebrew games and programs, emulators, and pirated games - off their Memory Sticks.
Until now, users who had bought PSPs recently with v1.52 firmware on them, or who had upgraded their systems to v2.00 (a patch which brought with it a host of new functionality, such as a web browser, wireless photo sharing and the ability to set custom wallpapers), were unable to revert their systems to the older, less secure system.
However, utilising the security loophole in the PSP v2.00 wallpaper system which we reported yesterday, a group of hackers have made it possible to downgrade - and posted the details of their exploits to the Internet, causing a surge of interest which knocked several popular PSP information sites off the 'net last night.
The exploit is not for the faint-hearted - as it involves several hard resets of the PSP and at one point, a message reporting that the firmware update has failed and SCE support needs to be contacted - but has been reported as successfully working on a variety of PSP hardware including Japanese, US and European units.
The ball is now firmly in Sony's court, with the company facing once again the prospect of piracy on its new system - expect to see a revised version of the v2.00 firmware which seals up the wallpaper exploit in the near future. What will be interesting to see is if the company offers any incentives to upgrade to this new version, as it did with the web browser and other features in v2.00.
(what a day for the PSP scene  )

Hi I am just starting to get in on emulated games I hoped someone could help. I bought the Action Replay Max for my PS2 hoping I could play all types of emulators on it e.g. Snes Neo Geo Atari etc. The megadrive one works fine. But I tried burning the snes station cd-r but it won't work for me. Is it not possible to play other emulators on the ps2 with the action replay max and if so how else can you play emualtors on your ps2 without having to add a mod chip to it.
Thanks a million,
Gary.

Hi all PSP Homebrew and Emulation users and esp to all those who have joined us today, we are PSP Emulation News and yes we have a new emulator today released by Urchin, heres the info:
c64psp is a Sony PSP port of Christian Bauer's Frodo C64 emulator.
Currently, disk image handling is not implemented, but pressing "Start" will load the file "snapshot.fss" from the main c64psp directory. USB connectivity is enabled on startup, so simply replace "snapshot.fss" with a snapshot saved from a desktop version of Frodo running your favourite game and just hit "Start" to reload.
Control is limited to emulation of the Port 2 joystick. Diagonals may not seem to work properly, but this seems to be a PSP problem, not an urchin problem. Response seems to improve after a bit of breaking in (of the PSP, not urchin)
Video seems to work well, though is not centered at the moment. Sound is working, but there seems to be some voice drop out - not sure yet whether this is Frodo, SDL_mixer, or urchin related.

Source - GI.Biz
Hackers have found a security loophole in the most recent version of Sony's PlayStation Portable firmware which may allow the console to run homebrew software, emulators and pirated games again.
The loophole is down to a bug in the new feature that allows users to set their own wallpaper on the device, and can be exploited by placing a specially modified image file on the Memory Stick in the PSP.
At present, only a range of simple applications such as "Hello World" text printers and a version of Atari's classic Pong game have been created that run through this exploit, as hackers only have 64kb of space to use for their code.
However, that limitation is unlikely to hold back homebrew application creators - and pirates - for very long.
"Once you can run unsigned code on the device at all, the floodgates are open," according to a development source who spoke to GamesIndustry.biz this morning. "The chances are that they'll be able to run full size apps and games on version 2 firmware within a couple of weeks."
This will be unwelcome news to Sony, which issued a number of firmware updates last month to try and crack down on earlier security loopholes which allowed homebrew and pirate software to be used on the PSP.
Version 2.00 encouraged users to upgrade by including a web browser, wireless picture sharing and a host of other new functionality, but also beefed up the security on the device significantly - a step which now appears to have been in vain.
(How long before Sony release the 2.5 firmware)

Sousuke has released the first playable game for PSP firmware V2.0, heres what he says:
1.) download the file (psp01.tif)
2.) put it in the PHOTO folder (you just need this one file - no background - nothing else).
3.) start it by pressing X on US PSPs (O on JP PSPs) on the PHOTO icon. Don't press Start or slideshow (It will just freeze and shutdown).
4.) if you want to shutdown, you have to hold the power switch for ~10 seconds (you don't have to take the battery out).

PurePwnage has released a new app for the PSP made with Lua:
MusicNPics will allow a user to view pictures on your PSP while listening to music.
Heres what he said:
Here is the 2nd version of MusicNPics. We're still in development stages and won't include what you want it to include.
ITS ONLY FOR 1.5 and 1.0!
What it does:
Allows you to view pictures and music at the same time on a homebrew enabled PSP. Music format so far is .wav and .mp3 for v0.2. Pictures so far tested are PNG and BMP. JPEG will be allowed in the next version.
Instructions:
Replace in the images folder with what you want (2 maximum allowed and PNG only!).
Replace the sound in the sound folder with a WAV of what you'll like.
Start her up!
When it finishes loading, read the instructions. Apparently you have to hold the button in order to see the pic but that will be fixed in the next version.
Download Here --> http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/musicnpics.shtml

Akronym has released a nice visual demo for PSP v2.0 firmware, heres the info:
Based on the starfield 2.0 code which was based on the original 2.0 exploit code. Written by Akronym.
A pixelswarm 2.0
I'm happy someone finally made it possible to run homebrew code on 2.0 and I just had to do something now when I have the possibility. This is just something for you to look at while waiting for the next breakthrough.
Thanks Lok Tai (Andy) Fung for the starfield 2.0 inspiration and Groepaz/Hitman for the exploit code.

Raf has released a new version of his PSP Radio App, heres whats new:
PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CONFIG FILE. AT LEAST THE LOG_LEVEL ELEMENT
Or logging could fill up your memory stick!
Thanks,
Raf.
PS: from whatsnew.txt:
0.32b
-Reports of sound skipping on 0.31b. Looking at the code, I realize I forgot to do something when processing metadata.
Hopefully this is corrected now.
-Solved the problem with threads not logging. I needed to use an absolute path to the log file.
-Change your LOG_LEVEL to 50, (or more), so that it doesn't fill up your ms.
-Metadata is only logged (to log file) when it changes.
-Metadata should update faster on the screen now.
Enjoy!
