After an extended absence, it appears that the programmer Booster is back. There was a scare back in August, when Sony approached the coder with some legal action. Now, nearly three months after firmware 2.80 was decrypted, a new version of DevHook is available for the homebrewing crowd out there. The latest version allows you to run homebrew directly from emulated 2.82 firmware, so there's less need to messily switch between firmwares. The latest version also includes an enticing folder called "3.0," but that doesn't seem to be in effect... yet. With DevHook, you can run most modern legal games and whatever homebrew applications you already have. Once again, it seems like the emulated firmware is better than the real deal.Posts with tag 2.82

Sony has released yet another minor update to its firmware today via Network Update and on its Japanese PSP Web site. PSP owners can enjoy new benefits in 2.82 like... better "security." This means you can't run homebrew of any kind.Yay? Without any meaningful additions, I'll be happy sticking to 2.80. (This might change one the Loco Roco Halloween demo comes out!)
Two new downloadable demos coming soon
In addition, according to Kingplayer, a demo of Ridge Racer 2 will also be available. Considering the lack of new content put into the sequel, what are the odds that it'll be a level that's in the original?
The demos are supposed to come out on October 26th. Will you be upgrading your firmware to play them?
