This stuff still makes me wary. From the look of the
spreadsheet on Fanjita's site, I have no idea what is going
on, or how to begin to make this homebrew work on my PSP,
let alone doing it on a Mac.

yes i am wary too, but since I have the 2.6 OS it won't work
for me. Also you need to buy GTA:LCS to use the hack, so I
have to spend £35 too!

It looks like you replace the saved game data on the memory
stick duo with some hacked code which causes the game to go
wrong and allows you to execute code.

I wouldn't get involved with this yet. I would wait until
there is an EBOOT loader which has some form of protection
for the flash memory which holds the OS. nasty people have
written homebrew to overrite the flash and this makes the
psp unbootable i.e. bricked. A version of EBOOT which stops
writes to flash is planned I think.

Sony should just step up and release a version of firmware
which has a two tier system so that people can write
homebrew but it cannot interfere with running games. Of
course homebrew is bad for Sony because they make their
money out of the games (the price of the PSP is less than
the cost of the bits), if people make free games Sony looses
money.

This also means that Sony will keep the UMD format closed.
Just think of betamax and minidisk and ATRAC, Sony will keep
it a closed format so only they can make money off it, which
is why I like the idea of homebrew. I would trust the
website linked to above, but be wary of others.
It's not like the PSP is a PC and can be completely started
again with a boot disk. If the flash is corrupted it's game
over. A real oversight by Sony.
It should have an inbuilt system which can look for new
firmware on the memory stick and offer to use that instead
of flash if it is detected and overwrite the flash.

The current system requires the flash firmware to boot so
you can select memory upgrade from the options, very sloppy,
but typical Sony.
