**Updated Below**Engadget has been emailed an explanation on how to get homebrew code running on the PSP 2.0 firmware. It looks like Sony missed something fairly obvious when they tried to shore up the security holes; the method involves simply putting the unofficial code into a folder called Update. The console is fooled into thinking you're updating the PSP and allows you to run the code.
Head over to Engadget for the full instructions:
this will not update you psp this is for 2.00 version psp only. The 2.00 psp will only read the file UPDATE as not corrupt any other file name in the game folder will read as corrupt. That is why the folder is named UPDATE and the security of the 2.00 psp will only read updates. and the updates have to be higher then 2.00 so that is why it reads as psp version update 2.10 which is fake. This will not update your psp. This is only for 2.00 psp. I’m not responsible for your psp breaking. this is not a update and is only for 2.00 pspa update to not be corrupt. I also have a video of this working in the video you can see me filming with my bad digital camera showing you the version 2.00 the wallpaper function and the web browser the me going to the game file and running the homebrew
Update:
OK, Engadget had posted up an article entitled "Homebrews back up and running in PSP 2.0, we’ll show ya how", which we picked up on. Later on however Engadget decided to remove all trace of the page from their site, probably because the technique turned out to be less of a breakthrough than they first thought.
The instructions and video the article was based on are still available, and can be viewed over on PSPHacks.net
