Homebrew Idol Update
greg | April 5, 2008
While we’re at the common standstill, which seemingly occurs every couple of weeks, I’ll share a little PSP Hacks Homebrew Idol update with y’all… The deadline was April 30th; however, as MK2k says, “good software takes time.” So in effort to meet the needs of developers, we’ll extend the contest further… Currently we have two entries — Pirata Nervo’s NervOS and MK2k’s Chipmunk Physics port / demonstration.
If you have the skills to code and you wanna clock some extra dough, see here for complete contest details. The new deadline… Ah, well… Another month — May 31st… How’s that sound?

w00t!!!111st
I like both entries, loving the Physics port.
Exciting.
This is truly the dullest contest I’ve seen in my life…only 2 entries!? Wtf is up with that? I bet if there is only 3 entries by the next deadline, they’ll probably make the deadline another month but w/e
this shit is gay.
contests ar naff.wat happened to new psp downloads.lol.seems like the site had died cause it seems to post dayly but was stopped for a while.
Sorry But I liked the OLD deadline April 30.
I am sure we wud have had ATLEAST 50 entries before deadline.
Another month… NOOOOO!!!
It’s me… forgot… Is it possible to revert back to old deadline?
wow are we really running out of stuff this early?
Pirata Nervo definately won this.
greg awesome idea.It gives newbies like me more time to complete our homebrew.Thanks greg :D
Stupid. After all the work dark alex did and the M33 Team.
yes, he did a lot of work on FIRMWARE. NOT homebrew, DA has the praise of anyone with a hacked psp basically.
To be honest..you make NO sense whatsoever.
whats so hard about it?
DA did all the work of firmware. NOT with homebrew. he is saying anyone with a hacked psp is thankful to him because it wouldnt of been possible without him. (it would but it wouldnt be as good)
this is a homebrew comp. not a firmware comp.
SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A PLUGIN FOR THE SLIM ALLOWING FOR VIDEO OUT ON A STANDARD TV!!! Does anyone else think this is a good idea or am I the only one waiting for it?
I would for sure paypal the guy who programmer who makes it..
that would be relly nice, i would want that, but probably not possible
Yeah, I would really like it too.
it would have to interlace the video output and the games are hardcoded to have progressive scan output. it could be possible but it would take alot of resources. if i could code i would play with it but i realy like the idea.
Im thinking maybe he doesn’t have the prize money, so he extended the contest haha.
I also agree this is a really sad contest. I was the one that said “wow… looks like they are really trying to get people to make stuff for the psp” when this contest first came around. Because at the time of that contest… psp hacks was at a stand still.
I think its a lame that the deadline was so far away in the first place, now they are extending it?! Get the fuck outta here… haha.
yep, sadly I was hoping for a better turn out. but I guess it’s all been done. no one has the drive to earn an extra few bucks.
Not true. The April 30th Deadline is known now since quite some weeks, so I can imagine quite some devs relied on that and had released in the last couple of days before April 30th then. No need to worry about entries now…
true that. Maybe I’m just ahead of myself… See what happens in the coming month.
I personally think that unless anything else is entered, that the Physics port should win. I know that the NervOS is a pretty good success on its own in the means of how quickly it got as far as it has, but its nothing new if ya know where I’m coming from?
I think a decent physics engine is definitely a good thing for the homebrew community as it opens up a big amount of possibilities :)
Maybe if someone used it to make a Soldat clone, I would indeed be very highly impressed :D
Not even a contest is bringing new applications….
Goodbye, scene.
the psp scene is dying fast, there just isnt anything left to create, all that is left is updating.
Yup, everything that could be done has been done it would seem. It’s unfortunate that people haven’t picked up old projects or tried remaking them from the ground up, like Daedelus. There’s lots of room for improvement there but that’s never gunna continue, which is a shame. At least there’s plenty of stuff already available for the PSP and it’s still an awesome portable. Guess we’ll have to wait for the next gen Sony portable to have some new hardware to play with, exploit, and develop for.
how about someone finds a exploit in the current firmware to allow ppl who want to downgrade downgrade i have been having trouble finding a pandora battery and i don have a homebrew capable psp to make one
you could make a poor mans pandora battery, you just have to make it manually, without software.
There’s been no reason to make downgraders anymore ever since the pandora battery technique was developped… the ability to downgrade any past present and future firmware is all we need. Buy a battery, find someone in your local area that has a custom psp to make you one, or find someone on the internet that you can ship a battery to so they convert it for you. Don’t expect to see anymore downgraders.
The PSP scene is halfway dead already. There really ain’t nothing left to do on it except the shit thats been created already. Kinda sucks too, because I just got my PSP hacked last year on Thanksgiving. And even now as it’s hacked I do find myself falling asleep because the shits getting boring. If only someone could build a time machine back to when the PSP first got hacked…Hey maybe I can make a homebrew that can take you back in time with your PSP…Fuck, Time Travel aint even possible…or is it?
Haha funny you should mention that… Try the TimeMachine :P It’s a shame that only lets you go back in time firmware-wise :P
Why is EVERY ONE ACTING DUMB????!
Usually, The last few days before the deadline… we
will see a LOT OF ENTRIES. Nothing to worry abt (@greg). The new deadline’s okay for me.
$500 is quite a lot of money! NO PSP SCENE IS ####NOT#### Dead.
$500 is just to tempt the coders…
Oh well. I don’t know about much competition…
Well, this is going in a positive way. the people will have more time to code.
I think this should be named a lil better
“PSP-Hacks Homebrew Competition 2008″. Also the news should be sent to all websites like QJ, maxconsole, DCemu, etc.
For what you dumb fuck!? The PSP is already dead, Just like Zack Fair. Can you tell us anything new about the Psp that we don’t already know? I bet even that dude who donated his Slim knows its dead, thats why he donated his psp.
If you knew it was dead, you did not come here.
That made no sense what-so-ever. I think you meant “If you knew it was dead, then why did you come here!?”
But uh….
Hmmm…
Great come back, honestly I have no response to it.
in portuguese it makes sense lol, maybe it must be written in the order you said in english x.x
Not really, it sounded like you were trying to hypnotize me like,
You aren’t here right now!
lol
Something like that.
Great app you made btw
(Though the psp is dying slowly but surely)
kinda like a jedi mind trick, lol
Ok so:
If you knew it was dead, then why did you come here!?
:P
thank you :)
No problem dude…
(I downloaded Yu-Gi-Oh GX Tag Force, and I got the best dragon deck ever made…trust me it owns just like me in Marvel Vs. Capcom 2.)
YAY…. another month to make my program…
if i ever do.
Ah, another month. Good stuff :D
I had just found out about the competition before this extension and have taken this current week off work to work on an entry. The extra month will come in handy as I am exploring a whole new field so have to learn how it works before i can recreate it.
See you in the forums!
