The World of PlayStation Portable getting hotter everyday
Last week was a very busy week for the PSP gaming world. I think it was just last week when noobz have finally developed a homebrew eloader for PSPs with 2.80 firmwares and it works on a TA-082 motherboard too. It has been on the works for the past few months and I’m really glad noobz has finally released it. It’s called Kriek, it takes advantage of the TIFF exploit on 2.80 PSPs which enables you to play homebrew games and applications. What are PSP homebrew by the way? PSP homebrews are well… Wikipedia can explain it to you much further.
PSP firmware version 3.00 has also been released last week via Network update but just after one day later, 3.01 was out. And yeah, noobz managed to decrypt 3.0 again. Sony’s really making it hard for the PSP owners out there. I’m glad I didn’t update to 3.00 or I won’t be playing SNES and Genesis games on PSP. Not to mention the amazing PSP revolution, a PSP version for the Dance Revolution. I’m also enjoying Bookr, it’s a text file and pdf reader for the PSP. Now I can read PDF’s and text files anywhere I want. My PSP is like a laptop now. All I need right now is a PSP text editor and I hope somebody out there tells me where I can find it.
Well, the finale is, PSOne games can be played on the PSP without needing a PS3 and a 3,00 firmware. I got this news from PSPFanBoy, a really good source for the latest PSP news. To those who don’t know, if you upgrade your firmware to 3.00, you can download PSOne games for the PSP but you need to purchase it and you need PS3 to do so. Well, that sucks. PS3 costs a lot and majority of the gamers don’t have $500 to buy such device. I could buy a laptop for $500 but I won’t waste it on a PS3. I’d rather get myself a Wii. Hell yeah, but I guess I’ll get it next year. Too many responsibilities are coming my way.
