Being able to play
homebrew on firmware 2.80 is an amazing accomplishment. However, most people that have firmware 2.80 probably don't know the very basics of running homebrew on their system. While there have been
guides created
in the past, a new one has popped up on the
PlayStation boards. Shamoo teaches you the steps necessary to run fan-favorite DDR clone,
PSP Revolution, on your system.
- Download the eLoader on your computer.
- Connect your PSP to your computer via USB.
- Install the eLoader.
- Make sure you choose this kind of installation: "TIFF, Installatron + Xloader - RECOMMENDED"
- Ensure the following options are checked: "TIFF, xLoader (for 2.80), Installatron, emenu"
- You're done installing the eLoader. Now, it's time to get homebrew programs.
The
full tutorial shows you how to download and install
PSP Revolution on your system. It's not complicated at all--it just involves moving some folders into your PSP's GAME directory, and a few more steps. Of course, with
firmware 3.0 on the horizon, what choice will you make? Stick with homebrew, or keep advancing with Sony's official upgrades?

Cool!!!!!!! Finally finally finally homebrew on 2.80! Thank you very much, well I tried eloader xloader and install-o-tron. Eloader works perfectly, install-o-tron too, xloader doesn't work cause when I start a HB from psp game section I get an error, from xloader in photo section too. Btw eloader is perfect I tried some games most of them work fine. Now we need iso loader = ) I hope soon! Thank you everyone.

Thanks PsP ^^^^^ - you've proven Sony's point. This is why they cripple homebrew.
