Half Byte Loader revision 91 Released

[fgghjjkll]

Another great release for the PSP homebrew scene today as homebrew coder extraordinaire wololo and his team releases an updated version of their Half Byte Loader project, the open source Homebrew Loader for the PSP that allows you to play homebrews on any PSP, including the PSP Go, running on firmwares up to 6.20.

Spoiler: Developer Notes

"This new revision brings 2 major changes for the user: First, the menu is now a standard eboot. It means that if you are a homebrew coder, you can create your own menu with the usual SDK tools, and are not limited to the Patapon SDK anymore. Second, HBL is now able to come back to the menu once you quit a homebrew. This function is highly experimental for now, so don’t cry if the second homebrew you run doesn’t work as expected… This feature can be disabled by setting return_to_xmb_on_exit=1 in the file hbl/hbl_config.txt. I still recommend revision 85 for now if you are looking for maximum compatibility and performance, but revision 91 sure has some benefits."

For more information about the release, please read the README included in the file.

Yes, it will but you will have to wait for a very long time. Go with 5.50 Prometheus that run 6.20 fw games perfectly fine (No patched need).

Actually, No. It would not be possible i think. This is a user mode exploit. I think to load isos, it requires a kernal one.

 

[spotanjo3]

Have a faith. I think it will. Not at anytime soon anyway. Ye of little faith, man!

Would it be possible to install a CFW with this on the PSP Go in the future?
