2.0 – 2.60 Homebrew Tutorial
greg | February 2, 2006
hackaday has a great tutorial posted with regard to running homebrew on firmware versions 2.0 through 2.60. This illustrated step-by-step how-to is very informative for new comers to the PSP homebrew scene.
So you’ve heard about this homebrew thing that all the cool kids have been doing, but you have already upgraded to version 2.6 of the firmware so that you could play all the latest and greatest games on the PSP. Fortunately for you, some very diligent hackers have been working round the clock to discover ways to get around the limitations put in place by the latest firmware.
The solution isn’t in the form of a downgrader, but rather in the form of an eLoader (EBOOT loader) that lets you use Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories to run homebrew on a PSP with version 2.0, 2.01, 2.5, and 2.6 of the firmware. Not all homebrew will run via this method, but there is a rather easy to read compatibility chart and I’m sure more things will begin working in future releases of the eLoader.

yippie ky yay
ill make sure to check it out as soon as im ungrounded from the computer(posting from psp)
how about without gtalc
work on game file try it
Nice this shuld help alot of these Noobs … lol Kepp reading keep PsPin …. lol
aaahhh i’m high
oh man only 4 comments before me :S if would have gotten online sooner…
finally
ok what bout those who dont have gta u gonna leave us in the dark
ok this shows the easy shit! can anyone tell me how to put the homebrew in. for chess what i did was make one folder and put everything in it, but this doesnt work for pang and anything else. HELP PLEASE !!
hey what do they mean by all that. whats that grand theft auto game and how can i play homebrew on it
It other words…GUIDE FOR STUPID PEOPLE.
1.5 will always rule.
yeh yo word we need one thats not with gta i dun feel like buying gta whats the point i got it for ps2 oready
yah Geniouses make one without GTA. Yah but finally a guide for idiots like me.
great for the 2.1+ noobs
whoo it works but if it doesnt work for u like if the screen go black then it must be your game or apps
As soon as someone figures out a way to play gta on 1.5, i’ll go back to 1.5
thats retarded it dont show nething new there. everybody knows that crap already anybody whos got 2.01+ is FUCKED lol
theres no solution w/o a downgrader so ya’ll r fucked who got 2.01+ if you want to use the best homebrew
lol, this is a good guide for the idiots who don’t have a clue how to use homebrew 2.1+, i have 2.5, and i have no trouble loading and playing homebrew on my psp, for the rest of you idiots with 2.1+ and DON’T know what they’re doing, just play games sony releases, and quit bitching about shit you don’t know, fukin morons.
I’m glad for this but somebody should be working on emulators to work with up to ver 2.6 or some type of down grader instead of just focusing all on the gta glitch.
first of all any fucking noob can do this by themselves without a dam guide (its common sense)second of its poinless and third of all your gay (kewlieo)
how do we shrink the file on psp update.com? (like it says on tthe site. Download and decompress the eLoader [via PSP Updates].
And for dumbass (love my psp) if you say your fucking glad then stop complianing because if you know it or not its very difficult to make emulators and to correct you its a gta hack not a glitch and unfortunatlly thats the only way they were able to get past the FW 2.01+ source code so please if you don’t know what the fuck your talking about just dont post anything
can somebody telll me how to put it into my psp without using gta aim=LittleSman
all i want is a nes or snes emu that will work on 2.60 WITHOUT gta
TOO BAD!!! MOST NORMAL PEOPLE LOVE GTA: LCS!!! IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PLAY SNES GAMES ON YOUR PSP, DOESN’T IT SEEM WORTH IT TO BUY GTA: LCS?!!! Just give GTA a try… I’m sure you’ll become addicted AND you could play homebrew too!!! :mrgreen:
ok this is great for those little apps but how about being able to run a full on game that is 2.0 or higher can this do that or do i gotta wait and play my old games on my frim 1.5???
2.0 for ever!!! welcome to the party 2.6ers!!!
hey do you people understand what this is for? it is used to play homebrew apps not isos because one it cant access kernel so playing iso is a no go and most people only want to play illegal iso they download. Also the only way to play homebrew on 2.01+ is with GTA so dont complain i dont see any of you doing as great ass job as fanjita and ditlew so shut you mouth and stop complianing.
If they are really so great then why they dont make an eloader without need for gta??
You kiddies need to quit bitching. Fanjita’s work thus far is amazing and far surpasses anything you are capable of, I’m sure.
Has anyone made an app to unzip files? then we wouldn’t need to download onto computers, we could download the files with the psp and run the unzipper, which could allow you to view the readme, and then select the destinations for the files. that would be pretty awesome, especially for those like CAN7ALDP3
i aint bitching i am saying i cant afford to buy gta so i want emus that will run on 2.60 without gta
I hope …
Ive gotta say thanks to Fanjita for makin it possible and takin the psp’s capabilities to the next level but i would also like to say FUCK YOU fanjita for choppin us off at the knees and makin it clear to us that you wont make a downgrader or a ISO loader, i mean fuck all would realyl like is a downgrader since homebrew is sooooo much fuckin easier to put on the older psp versions and of course ISO loaders or w/e but nope you dont wanna condone piracy fuck off you bloody wanker (takin somethin from the british book lol) seriously you give us a taste of what a great machine the psp can be for 2.01+ users and then
flip us off, well fuck of too and suck on this :)

he will try to make a non-piracy iso loader. That will be good enough. And later on, someone will come and hack that, so there will be one in the future, but you have to wait a long time. On his “todo” list on his site, he says that his last thing “todo” is a non piracy UMD loader.
I can’t wait for the new Windows Vista to come out, I’ll be sure to run right out and buy the first copy I can find.
I mostly can’t wait to spend money buying new hardware for it since many of my current devices will not be supported, you see they are over two years old, thus obselete. But losing all those options will be worth it to have the “latest, greatest” O.S. out there.
Off topic? No.
This is what 2.x fw supporters sound like. Knowing how much friendlier to homebrew 1.5 is, why for the love of God continue embracing anything but it?
who ever makes these loaders like the 1 for 2.6 sucks! they should never release these until they work properly cause chess won’t work and even the emulator for the eboot of super mario doesn’t work(it freezes on menu then restarts psp). i have 3 psp’s. 1 is 1.0, 2.0, and the other 2.6 and 2.6 eboot sucks. y i have 3 psp’s? becuase i use the other 2 for wifi playing with my friends that don’t have a psp and testing ur fucken hacks.
hey has anyone heard if someone is working on or has a 2.5 iso loader because these like mini games are boring me. thx
Oh brother. All of you who are calling people idiots really have no room to talk. Just a quick look at the way you express yourself shows who the idiots are. You’re obviously products of the public school system.
Who the hell cares anyway. All of you self appointed “experts” on anything and everything need to keep one thing in mind. At one time you too were a “noob”.
Here’s what it boils down to. Decide what you want to do with your PSP and proceed accordingly. I knew the consequences of upgrading from 1.5 to 2.6. After doing so I changed my mind and wanted to mess around with homebrew because I like tinkering with things, that’s how you learn. So did I bitch about it? Nope, I went and bought another one and it’s on 1.5 and will remain that way.
All of you wanna be elitists invest way too much energy into bashing people. Get a social life and turn off the PSP for a little bit and get out in the world.
A couple more thoughts. Great work Fanjita. The majority of us here appreciate all your efforts.
Dave? What the hell is with you? You act as if Fanjita is an employee of yours. If you have issues that you would like resolved, get crackin and start programming.
The reason for putting out an emulator that isn’t 100% is clear. Not one person can devote all of their time to creating these programs and not release it until it is bug free. Think about it. Would you devote all of your time to something as arduous a task as that? You’d be broke and have no social life. But by the looks of some posts here, I’m thinking A LOT of people have no life.
WHERE DO YOU PUT THE GAMES U WANT TO PLAY WITH THIS APPLICATION? (I MEAN FOLDER)

All you people crying there is a new eloader and if u check fanjita’s compatibilty list at http://www.fanjita.org it’ll teel you what games work. Try A boy and his dog, it works. if can’t find its called ABAHD
Fanjita thanks 4 da 2.6 eloader but seriously dont realease nuthing until it fully works , im telling all u 1.5 and 2.0 retards thanks to fanjita u dont have to do shit but for people like me struggling with 2.6 its relly time consuming and mind fucking to just get the dawm fucking eloader to work so i would like it if any of u tried stuggling with version 2.6 then i would see who da noobs really are……..bitches.
Can you upgrade a 2.5 to a 2.71 then downgrade to a 1.5?
I desperately need a downgrader for 2.81. The PSP wan’t upgraded so don’t think I’m dat noobish
