Many of you might of known Fanjita as the "downgrader man" before. But thats then, and this is now. With Dark_Alex on the road, he has released some great programs, Devhook, Dax ISO Loader, The great Emulation Project, and most importantly, the wonderful Playstation Portable Firmware Downgraders to 1.5! 2.60-1.5,2.5-15, even 2.7 and 2.71-1.5, and heck, even 1.5-1.0!! You might think Fanjita\’s Noobz team is out of the picture, but not for long!! Fanjita\’s Noobz team has made asure their memories wont be memories for any longer.

They have just released our very first 2.0/2.01 EASY downgrader! happy for me since I recently went to check this out by updating to 2.0 and it worked successfuly wonderful!

If you really enjoy downgraders, then this is a great start for 2.0 firmwares. With the easy downgrader, it does infact use the TIFF Exploit (eloader v0.9.8 is required to run this) so whats the big deal? Another 2.0 downgrader? WOW who cares??? Don\’t be that way my friends, its for 2.01 firmware aswell! Hurrah!

Heres what the Noobz team had to say:

"A long time ago, when the GTA exploit first emerged, the first application we wrote for it was a v2.01 downgrader, similar to MPH\’s downgrader for v2.00. Unfortunately, the GTA exploit didn\’t offer sufficient access to the PSP\’s flash to allow the downgrader to work, so it was never released.

Please ensure that you read the entire README.TXT file that is included with the downgrader package. Please also note that although this uses tried and tested techniques, and has been tested with 100% success on several PSPs, no downgrader is 100% safe, and so YOU USE THIS SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK."

The 2.0 2.0/2.01 easy downgrader does not come with the eloader, so you will have to get it for you\’re self. To do this simply go to noobz.eu (Fanjita\’s Website) to download it. As for the actual downgrader for the eloader, you can get it in the link below.

DJShrimpy has just updated the Lua version of Makos Game Maker Game Orbz, to v0.3!
It includes really nice levels, with a great level editor aswell contributed by DjShrimpy himself. Also including Jose for the music. So lets see what we got this time:

• This release now has enemies, and the Shock Attack.
• Speed has improved from the previous version.
• New theme for LEVEL5.LUA and so on.
• Intro text for each chapter.
• A boss for Chapter I has been added.
• Serveral collision problems have been fixed.
• Music looping has been fixed.

Update: This seems almost to comical, but apparently the 2.8 decryptor recently released also works on v2.81. Someone probably should get fired over that one . Anyways, looks like now their argument of using a memory stick bigger than 4gb is completely useless now…

There has just been a release of a decrypter for the 2.8 firmware; hopefully an update for Devhook will follow soon.

For now the it can decrypt the firmware files by means of the PSAR dumper. Dark_Alex has modded the dumper so that it can now dump that of the 2.8 firmware. Since I don\’t have much to say on the subject I\’ll let QJ do the talking (or for those who don\’t care to read the whole article, yeah this was a post of news from QJ, within the lines) as stated before):

Mathieulh stopped by our forums to tell us that a new version of psardumper (modded by Dark_Alex to dump 2.80 files) is available. Dark_Alex modded psardumper for 2.80 which was originally created/coded by psppet. This psardumper will dump reboot.bin and other necessary 2.80 files for devhook emulation!

This is quite some exciting news as it has been quite some time since 2.80 has been released and many have been anxiously awaiting this day. The only thing that remains for us to wait on is an update to devhook that will allow us to emulate 2.80! So, now that we have the files extracted/dumped, it is only a matter of time before we are emulating this precious firmware on our 1.50 firmware with devhook!

To install, extract the data.psar (I suggest using PBP Unpacker) and place it in the root of your memory stick (data.psar). After this is done, make sure you have the decrypter/dumper file in the correct folder (PSP/Game) and execute it on your PSP. The program will then dump/decrypt the necessary files onto your memory stick. This program is legal, however the files dumped using it are protected under copyright laws – so do not distribute them!

Hopefully we can expect an update on Devhook soon, let\’s hope $ony doesn\’t try to squelch our attempt at another update like they did before: http://pspupdates.qj.net/index.php?pg=49&aid=60558

Homer, a proud programmer has made many a homebrew. My favourite would definately be his Game Boy Emulator, but not anymore! After this project, his new 3D Tic Tac Toe Multiplayer Mod is definately up in the ranks! From the original, a homebrew mod release last week from LMelior\’s, he has now added multiplayer (wireless that is). Since the wireless multiplayer mod is from homer, this shouldnt be called a homebrew, lets call it a "homer-brew" .

You can download the 3D mod in the url below. Enjoy!
