PSP v2.60 HomeBrew - February 5, 2006
The PSP can finally run homebrew games and applications on firmware 2.60. It previously only worked on 1.50 units and on PSPs that were downgraded from 2.00 to 1.50. There was minimal support on 2.00+, but with this tutorial most homebew applications should function. We should expect to see a new update very soon from Sony, possibly 2.70 or a minor “security” update to v2.60. If a new update is released, obviously do not update for a while untill information about what exactly it does is available. The homebrew on 2.60 PSPs will be able to run Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Atari Lynx, and many other applications.To run homebrew applications:
- PSP with v2.60 installed
- Memory Card with enough space
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- USB Cable or MS Pro Duo Reader
To install homebrew applications:
- Download “homebrew260.zip” and extract content
- Connect and open media storage device
- Copy contents of GAME & paste them in X:\PSP\GAME\
- Copy folder “ULUS10041S5″ and paste in X:\PSP\SAVEDATA\
- Place all the homebrew application files in GAME
- Start GTA & load profile 5 to get to the homebrew menu
- To quit the homebrew menu just hit the “start” button

Note: At the momment standard homebrew applications can only be run on PSPs with either 1.50 or 2.60. (nothing in between). If you have 2.60 only way to run these apps is with the retail edition of GTA. (not a UMD rip) Also downgrading PSPs can only be downgraded from 2.00 to 1.50. (no other combos will work!) P.S. Don’t ask us how to find UMD rips.

Placasoft from Team Emergency Exit has been working on his project “PSPdualBoot” for a long time. Did he just stop? The answer is NO. Yesterday, Placa gave me a chance to actually test the current progress – very impressive.
The original objective of this project is to automatically launch a homebrew when turning on your PSP. But still, the users should have the ability to choose not to load the homebrew on startup and hit the original XMB interface. The users should be able to select which homebrew they want to launch.
As we can imagine, the project needs to modify our firmware to take effect. Currently Placa is working on an installer for installing and customizing the Auto-Start service, so I had to test it under MPH’s Firmware Launcher. I downloaded the decrypted 1.50 firmware and installed it properly on my memory stick, then applied Placa’s patch on it. After that, I started the firmware launcher. When seeing the prompt of the launcher, I turned on my WiFi switch and then pressed X button to start the emulation.
The launcher started to load the system, as the memory stick access light was blinking. Then the PSP startup video was played, the background with wavy lines was shown. But I never had a chance to see the old XMB interface before the screen went black after 2 seconds. Then, the access light continued to blink… and blink. After several seconds, PSP-OSS was loaded (Yay!).
The homebrew worked fine, but I got bored very soon. I just quitted PSP-OSS and modified the settings to load another homebrew. This time I picked PSIX, maybe the very first one you want to load on startup. And yeah, it loaded perfectly.
Placa told me he didn’t think there was anything that PSPdualBoot couldn’t load. Any homebrew you have in your mind that works on 1.50 can be started automatically with PSPdualBoot.
Placa is now working on an installer. This installer will enable you to customize which homebrew you want to load on startup, and then apply the patch to your firmware. He will focus especially on safety, to make sure you won’t brick your PSP with it (as long as you don’t cut the power of the PSP by yourself).
I also discussed with Placa about something else, like if this can be used to penetrate the parental control of some PSP games. He said very likely. Maybe I was too curious, this function sounds really redundant. :P
The release date is still unknown according to Placa. Maybe just like the famous Carmark said “It’s done, when it’s done.”
I WILL BE WORKING ON SOME OTHER PROJECTS AND NEW EMULATOR TESTINGS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS
