Ever since the release of the 2.5/2.6 downgrader Fanjita seemed to be fading in to the background, but not anymore! Since the release of the libtiff exploit a lot of you may have been expecting some sort of update within the eLoader to utilize this newly discovered exploit, similar to the TIFF version of the eloader for 2.0 firmwares, well now you\’re in luck!

Fanjita has just released a new version of the eLoader that utilizes the libtiff exploit so that you don\’t have to cart around a copy of GTA and wait a few minutes for it to boot up so you can enjoy your homebrew! The new version is called "Porter", or eLoader version .9.8, and is currently for 2.0-2.6 only, but the Fanjita team is working on a way to utilize it for you 2.7+ users (yes that means 2.8 too). It is also only available in user mode but they are also working on a way for kernal acess where possible, so it\’s just a matter of time…

As of now not all homebrew works for the new eLoader but you can see what HAS been tested on the new versions at the trusty homebrew database: http://psp-homebrew.eu/ You will need to download a different loader depending on your firmware, which will be provided below.

Here is what fanjita has to say so far:

Noobz are proud to announce the release of the latest eLoader version, 0.9.8, otherwise known as the "Porter" release.

This version brings user-mode homebrew to v2.0-v2.6 PSPs, without the need for Grand Theft Auto. Now, almost all the software that worked with GTA can now be used without it. You can view a list of the known working homebrew for this version in the PSP Homebrew Database:

Please consider helping out other eLoader users by signing up for an account, and adding your test results too.

Other changes:

eMenu has been improved in various small ways.
The default menu is now eMenu, the old menu has been retired.

By now you\’re probably wondering, "What on earth is Porter?". Or maybe, what\’s next? Well, here\’s a rough roadmap for what we\’re currently working on:

A user-mode loader for v2.70 and v2.71.
A user-mode loader for v2.80.
A loader to support kernel-mode homebrew on those platforms where it is possible.
A way to do away with eLoader altogether, and load homebrew directly from the XMB.

We will not predict when these will be ready (so please don\’t ask!), but we\’re working as fast as we can on them.

So for all of you who have the "cursed" firmware, this is a new ray of hope so you don\’t have to load GTA every time you want to play SNES or something of that nature for a few minutes of downtime (trust me I can relate, it does suck having to boot GTA). So for all of you TA-082 users this should be great news, same goes for those stuck on 2.8, and please show your appreciation for Fanjita and his teams work by registering (for free) at the homebrew database and post your reseluts, that\’s the LEAST you can do .

I hope that this is going to be a new and better future on our quest for the use and controll of OUR own PSP\’s, and THANKS AGAIN FANJITA FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORK!!!
