anyone knows what this means? lol.
"Following recent announcements about movie studios ditching the PSP, and after months and months of battling to bring homebrew to a console whose makers obviously don't want it, we decided that it's time to throw in the towel.
Therefore, as of now, there will be no more eLoader releases. Sorry. I know this may seem sudden, but it's been coming for a long time, our enthusiasm for the PSP has been slowly dwindling over the past couple of months.
The final nail in the coffin was spending the last few weeks trying to break a leaked copy of the v3.0 firmware release. Sony have done a really good job on this one, and we've given up hope of being able to crack it. Not even the GTA exploit works - it seems that Sony are really serious about security this time, and it's depressing. The slog ahead to try to crack what amounts to a total rewrite of the firmware just doesn't seem worth it. Good luck to anyone who does decide to try.
Fanjita has decided to move to develop for the Gizmondo, a console that has been neglected for homebrew, but where the battle isn't quite so unrelenting. Work has begun on an eLoader for the Gizmondo, allowing the same rich homebrew platform that PSP owners have grown to love. Some people will ask, "Surely the GP2X would be a better choice?", but I've always said that the GP2X doesn't offer any sort of a challenge. Sorry guys, but the Gizmondo really needs some loving...
Ditlew has decided to focus his talents on furthering the burgeoning Xbox360 hacking scene.
So long PSP, it's been nice knowing you."
got it from fanjita's website. someone translate for me pls lol. im still cracking my head on whether i should buy 1.5 :S

QUOTE(Hanzo @ Jun 13 2006, 01:27 AM) ^ it means no more dual boot for 1.5 with firmwire 3.0.. eh? now the newer firmwares can dual boot with 1.5? like 2.6 and 2.7? if then why not everyone just buy the newer firwares?

QUOTE(slickz @ Sep 21 2006, 01:06 AM) it's not big news because for every downgrade the user has to personally send a dump of his/her own unique firmware to ookm for him to personally create a custom softdown file just for his/her psp. reeeeeaaallllyyy? actually i read about that but i just dont understand it. so actually. how do u send him ur file?

QUOTE(MR.Shiney @ Oct 21 2006, 06:35 PM) ofcourse not la, of u want ori, surely got a big hole inside ur wallet  why do ppl so obsessed with original? as long as it performs well enough as a original one. thats good enough for me. why spend more? dont wory. i already tested it. its good 1982mb (after formatted in psp) transfer speed is ok. took me merely 1-2 minutes (feels like below 1min but, im not sure  ) to transfer my ridge racer 2 iso which is 850mb in total. and note. rm165. you wont get that price anywhere. yeap, my bro emailed him. he said 6 months warranty. lol...u sure? i can get a 2gb for RM145 back in my hometown  a year warranty, no less.

QUOTE(cybersim2 @ Oct 23 2006, 11:57 AM) Whr can I find this battery lei ?   I think most PSP come wif 22000mAh, am I rite ? psp comes with a 1800 mAh battery lar. QUOTE(MR.Shiney @ Oct 23 2006, 08:06 PM) does the newer firmware hav compatibility with other homebrews? i dont know the kernel and the asnkdbjkasdfjksdfn thing  im still thinking of upgrading to 2.71 sea. but, flashing this, and that makes me doesnt feel confident enuf to do it myself. mayb i'll stick to 1.5 then  but, ta-082 mobo hav sum drawbacks, no?  heh, a lot man. but so lucky can play local games already. with HENC, not all homebrews are supported. the local games cannot use the 'network' function. means no ad hoc leh. everytime need to play ori umd disc need to reboot the psp. QUOTE(nookief @ Oct 25 2006, 10:14 AM) standard pack for white psp in sg wan cost rm 750! huh~ cheapest is RM680 nia.

QUOTE(MR.Shiney @ Oct 31 2006, 07:52 PM) hmm.. yeah, at first. i was confused how a game like lumines can be fun. after playing it for a while. i dont feel fun at all. its kinda addictive. so, when i have time to spare. i play lumines. i play acid because im a big fan of the series. fun but, very frustrating. people hav different feel towards games king, u know that  shiney, i played MGA2 until the part where there is this super big robot i'm supposed to defeat, but i can't get close to him. it's the one that shoots bullets from the right and left shoulders. how am i supposed to kill him? tsk, and i don't get the whole idea of equipping things. i simply equip lol.

QUOTE(cybersim2 @ Nov 15 2006, 11:43 AM) since ver 2.71 oredi can run homebrew using HENC, y ppl stil rushing to get / downgrade to 1.5 (golden firmware). I don't get it. Pls clarify sifu cos HENC is not 'complete'. can run ahem games, but cannot run all homebrews. i think ultimately can wan, but need to emulate 1.5 and sometimes that crashes my psp. in short, HENC got a lot of limitations.

QUOTE(judge-the @ Jan 7 2007, 09:59 AM) even if 1 case brick also still losing money lah and money these days not easy. if can avoid such risk then better dont take that risk at all. if he buys 2.71 non 082 mobo also got risk in downgrading it what. everything that flashes will sure have the risk of bricking. so why not save money and try 082? but i think, the possiblity of bricking when downgrading is a little bit higher with 082 mobos compared to non 082 machines from the comments. lol.
