JB0 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71316 Apparently, there's a proram out that lets homebrew applications, previously limited to the 1.0 BIOS shipped in japanese launch units, run on the newest 1.5 BIOS, through a memory stick swap(which apparently means you need 2 memsticks).

Wes Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Yeah, Penny-Arcade put up a website on this. They even have other system emulators for it. Makes the PSP a little more appealing now. http://www.psphacker.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 (edited) Yeah, Penny-Arcade put up a website on this. They even have other system emulators for it. Makes the PSP a little more appealing now.http://www.psphacker.com/ Sadly, most of the emulators are still pretty primitive. They've gotten NES and 8Bit GameBoy running full speed with sound, but not much else(though PCEngine and SNES are close to it). Or so I've heard.

mikeszekely Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Apparently, there are also reports of it killing the memory sticks. Personally, I'm going to wait for them to get things a little more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsped Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 i wouldnt say 'the newest 1.5' since 1.51 and 1.52 are the newest, and neither work with this release. yes it require 'swapping memory sticks' which is pretty sketchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't keep up too closely with random revisions. And hey, media swapping is a traditional lockout bypass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 When the sega cd emulator is running so I can play Snatcher on a PSP, then I will get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 When the sega cd emulator is running so I can play Snatcher on a PSP, then I will get one! *rummages up the Genny's native res...* Hey, 320*224. Almost a perfect fit(provided you anti-letterbox it to preserve aspect ratio). Original Lunar 2 on a PSP... Damn, but that'd be tempting.

Uxi Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Yeah, I never "beta test" anything for free. Give this thing a couple more months for the kinks to be worked out at the least... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 yeah the hack was released yesterday...a very ghetto way to do a hack but still good....well at least it's a step in the right direction...even if it is a dangerous direction...but all homebrews when they're first released dangerous anyways right? ahh well i'll be waiting until there's a safer release since i don't wanna spend 250 again cuz my psp turned into a brick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 ...but all homebrews when they're first released dangerous anyways right? No. They usually don't require regular mucking with the hardware in ways the components were not intended to be mucked with. If you're lucky, they don't require any mucking of any sort(*cough*Dreamcast*cough*). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
