Major Breakthrough for V2.01 to 2.6 Firmware (Eboot Loader)

January 22nd, 2006, 22:46 Posted By: wraggster

Fanjita the master of the Eboot Loader and a member of our forums, has posted this news on his site:

<blockquote>Ditlew and I made some breakthroughs today with the EBOOT loader for GTA, and I'm so excited I thought I'd share the news, since we've been hammering away at this problem for weeks now, and it feels like we're starting to get somewhere.

Last night we finally managed to remove what is believed to be the last traces of GTA from the PSP's memory, and we appear to have full user-mode control over all the available memory and resources (with the exception, of course, of flash memory).

So far this hasn't translated into everything magically-working, including the loader menu, but we have run the first homebrew game using the EBOOT loader - "PSP Rick Dangerous".

So, there's still a lot of work to do, but it's coming along nicely.

This also seems like an opportune moment to properly introduce Ditlew, although we've been working together since the start of the EBOOT Loader for GTA project. He's a 30-year-old Dane working as a lead programmer, with a past in the gaming scene and a strong passion for AI - not to mention a sharp mind and a lot of determination.</blockquote>

Great work Fanjita and Ditlew, are Sony going to be pissed at this
