Tutorial for running homebrew on 2.80 firmware
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.

Rewind! Passport's new ad
The Passport guides are supposed to help you find the coolest things to do in major cities around the world. It hasn't gotten great reviews, but maybe this surprisingly classy (and romantic) advertisement will be able to convince the masses to pick one up. The ad sure beats the heck out of all those other European PSP ads.
Passport to London is your somewhat dumb guide to London
Eurogamer has reviewed Sony's interesting non-game, Passport to London, which acts as a guide of sorts to one of Europe's most popular destinations. The idea of this software is pretty interesting: for example, let's say you're walking around and want to find a museum nearby. Or, how about a hotel? When the sun sets, of course you'll want to find a pub of some sort. Passport also includes pictures, videos and audio features: it has a very Talkman-like feature that gives you some popular phrases translated across multiple languages.
While Passport seems to be an intriguing idea, the execution appears to be weak, at best. There is a distinct lack of information: there's only four pubs, one theatre, and even the more famous restaurants like Nobu are nowhere to be found. The review concludes that Passport is "a missed opportunity." Hopefully, future versions will allow for some more interesting features: GPS integration, internet access (so you can make hotel reservations via wi-fi), and downloadable updates are just some of the few ideas that are popping up in my head.
T3 article teaches the common folk how to use homebrew
You know, homebrew can be pretty intimidating: it uses big scary technical terms and comes with the possibility that your PSP will be "bricked." You may be one of the many that looks at our extensive homebrew coverage and weeps, wondering: "Will I ever be able to do that?" Well, T3 magazine wants to help. Entitled "Turn your PSP into a SNES, Gameboy and more!," the feature describes the steps necessary to transform your PSP into a homebrew platform. It states that you need 2.0 firmware or less, but don't forget that there have been a slew of downgraders that can transform even newer firmwares.The scan can be found here. There are only 12 steps, and each comes with a handy picture to walk you through the process. Have fun, if this is the guide you've been waiting for before making the dive into homebrew. But make sure that you remember: it still can brick your PSP, so be careful.
How-to: Load homebrew onto your firmware 2.6 PSP
Also known as the guide to "not looking like a schmuck when installing homebrew programs on your PSP". This guide, written by PSP Fanboy's C.K. Sample III, is somewhat of a departure from a previous guide we linked to in that this mostly deals with booting up your copy of GTA and getting the eLoader files in the correct folders. Thankfully, this literally walks you through the entire process, so it's practically idiot-proof. Unless you're really stupid, in which case we can't help you.
Photos accompany nearly each stage of the sequence, so in the event that you somehow become hopelessly lost while following the guide, the pretty pictures should lead you back to the beaten path.
In case you'd like a different take on the festivities, here's Joystiq's side of it.
Master your PSP's audio
For all those who still have no idea how to put music on their PSPs, or are just too busy to figure out optimal compression ratings, ExtremeTech has a new quick-and-dirty guide to the should-be painless act of transferring audio files to the PSP. They've got a few links to freeware, shareware and homebrew apps, as well as a few tips on audiobooks and text-to-speech programs.This guide won't do expert users much good, since a lot of what's covered is fairly basic. But for those who still have trouble figuring out what the difference is between AAC and AIFF, this guide is a good place to get acquainted.
Learn to program for PSP, updated
Programming guru Brad has posted another update to his programming guide. This week's update is all about overclocking, colors, and graphics-based text, which gives me yet another reason to experience flashbacks to my high school computer class when I sadly realized that if I could not master the basics of BASIC, I should just probably settle for a less glamorous career like writing. Ah, sweet irony.[Thanks, Brad]
Yet another browser design primer
We've published guides on how to design webpages that'll format properly on the PSP's web browser before, but we figured you weren't sick of our wagging fingers enough to keep us from talking about another one we've found. The good news is, this one's got some actual layout sense in it. Look at the little doggie! It's cute!
