Though the number of homebrew programs lately isn’t as big as when the first exploits were discovered, it’s still exciting to see that users will no longer require GTA in order to run homebrew programs.
This exploit takes advantage of an image format exploit (yet again) and has the ability to run unsigned code on any […]

Back in the years when PSP homebrew had just started off, many people noticed the quantity of PS1 game ports made for the PSP and therefore assumed the PSP could emulate the PS1 code completely.
It was until Megaman Legends came out for the PSP though that the developers finally realized this was true, because not […]

It seems that this hasn’t been one of Sony’s best years, with blogs and customers everywhere pointing guns at their flaws or the misunderstood (or simply odd) advertisement tactics. With shops in the US dropping the distribution of UMD movies and UMD/PSP sales falling further and further behind the Nintendo DS’ sales the only thing […]

Just before my college exams I was lucky enough to find a Japanese tutor here on my small island which delighted me for it’s brief two months. However, ever since the exams finished, I still haven’t had the chance to go back to classes, so it was with much happiness that I found out that […]

After it’s slow start in RPGs during it’s first year, it seems that more and more of them are reaching their way through to Sony’s portable console.

Same warning as before apply: there is always a risk in downgrading so if it bricks your PSP don’t hold ForeverGeek, nor the creators, nor PSP-Spot responsible for it.
Not sure what the main reasons are for 1.0 downgrading, if you already have a 1.50 I don’t think you’ll find more homebrew working on a 1.0. […]

Even though this version has been signed as final by the authors, there is still a risk of it bricking your PSP. If such happens, please don’t hold the authors, nor ForeverGeek, responsible for it. Or in short, use at your own risk.

First of all let me make this very clear. If you try to run this Experimental Downgrader it will brick your PSP, so be a bit more patient while the developers solve the final bugs. Did I say it will brick your PSP already?
Dark_AleX made not too long ago an experimental downgrader which theoretically should […]

It seems that the bar has once again been raised by the PSP developers, and Sony will have to increase the pace, in order to flee from the homebrew software community.
