Moonlight today has released a very nice alternative for loading homebrew on our forums. This release comes to save all our 1.50 PSP users from having to put a "dumb" and a "dumb%" folder in our PSP/GAME/ folder, which allowed homebrew to run properly for almost one year.

With this program, your 1.50 PSP will be able to load and run a single Eboot.pbp directly like a 1.00 PSP, without any trouble of converting back and forth. The only thing you need to do is to load this program. After it exits automatically, you can choose and load eboots for 1.00 or 1.50 properly (tested and confirmed on my own PSP)! Your PSP will retain this ability unless you cut its power supply or shut it down. Putting your PSP into sleep will not make the PSP lose this ability. This does not flash your PSP, instead it all done in the RAM, so no worries about bricking your PSP.

On June 15, 2005, PSP-Dev Team, which was formed up Killer-X, Pawstick and CybBlade, released the original Swaploit method, which opened the blockade for all our 1.50 users. One week later, on June 22, 2005, PSP-Dev Team released the KXPloit method to save all of us from swapping the memory sticks and using only one memory stick to run the homebrews. This has become the standard of the eboot files for the 1.50 homebrew scene. Now, almost all the homebrews come in 2 versions, one for 1.50, and the other for 1.00 and 2.00+.

However, on November 10, 2005, CybBlade, one of the PSP-Dev Team members, died of cancer. But we will remember him, and everything the team has contributed to the whole scene. Even if we may never be using the KXPloit any more, their contribution to the scene will be remembered forever.

How to use No-KXploit Patcher

  • Copy "NOKXPLOIT" and "NOKXPLOIT%" folder from the archive to the PSP/GAME/ folder on you memory stick.
  • Browse to Game -> Memory Stick in your PSP menu interface and choose "NO-KXploit Patcher" from the sub-menu to start this program.
  • Wait for a short moment. This program will load and then exit it on itself.
  • When back in the PSP main interface again, you can start to launch any Eboot files on your PSP as you wish!

Thanks for the news heads-up, Muratcan!

 » er

so basically all we need now are 1.0 eBOOTs?

and all homebrew games will never come with a dumb and dumb% folders again?

neat, but I don't really care anymore. although it will be nice to get rid of the few corrupt icons I'm still stuck with.

 » This is stupid...

You can hide the icon in almost all homebrew anyway using the 1% ______1 thing. And you don't have to worry about turning the psp off. This just adds another icon & another program you have to run. Big freakin deal. If they release this as a flashmod thing then ya it will be awsome but until then this is useless. Who cares...

 » WTF?

I prefer the old way... And this could be done through an eboot loader "ELF", as many shells (like PSP-OSS) do.

This isn't an improvement at all.

It stops the iso loaders form working. Screw this. **And how is this person from your forums. Shes got *1* wow 1 freaking post here. Do you not think shes from somewhere else. You guys say From **OUR** forums with every damn thing that is released. Its not from **Your** forums making it sound like a pspupdates release. Geze....

 » this app is stupid

i dont care about the two folders...all i do is copy and paste...it doesn't take any time...and you can hide ALL corrupted icon...basically the old way for 1.5 is fine...nothing wrong with it....if the wheel isn't broken why fix it?

plus this app is just gonna be another USELESS step....why would i wanna run this just to run a homebrew? cuz im too lazy to put both files in? thats just plain stupid......basically this app is gonna add another step for no reason....i dont believe this app should be on front page

 » Hmmm...

At the moment this is not really great news, why go through the trouble of running this program every time the PSP is restarted when there is already a program that will organize the PSP's GAME directory in order to ensure that those corrupted icons, while still in existence, are pushed to the back of the menu and out of your way?

However, I have heard that somebody from Team Emergency Exit (I forget the person's name, sorry) is supposedly working on a firmware dual boot hack that can be used to automatically launch this program. If that ever gets released chances are this program will be quite popular. There is also the potential for this program to evolve into a firmware hack (if anybody is gutsy enough to risk their 1.5 PSP systems in order to get rid of corrupt icons, that is).

 » Won't forget KXploit??

Of course you won't!! Just because you're using their exploit to get this nonsense-app running... Please stop saying stupid sentences like that.

FOY.

@ 6:55

Why do you gotta be so anal? The bloggers retrieved the information from their forums because it was posted there, not some other resource. Otherwise, they would have cited that they received it from another reliable source. Of course it's not a pspupdate release, but the whole reason why this site is even up is to update us on the homebrew scene.

 » amazing

Im amazed everyday when i see somebody post up saying that "theres a program to organize your corrupted icon to the bottom" or anything like that....HELLO are you guys PSP users or what? theres been an app that get ride of ALLLLLL corrupted icon since the scene started.....i never have a corrupted icon on my psp.....so let me school you guys the tool is SeiPSPTool....a must have for people that likes to keep their psp clean

 » is this permanent?

like does this flash anything? and also when i turn off the psp will i still be able to use only 1 eboot?

   by Anonymous Coward (Unregistered) - 2006-04-10
 » Not as good

I'm gonna stick with my usual loading. One thing I liked about 1.5 was not needing to run another program first to load my homebrew. That is kinda the point so running this everytime I turn on my psp is just ruining it.

   by Anonymous Coward (Unregistered) - 2006-04-10
 » Nice idea, but...

I think its a great advancement, but having to run this program before running any homebrew on a 1.50 PSP is pretty pointless. The corrupt icon thing does not really bother me and they can be hidden if you use Sei's trick. I'm glad they released the source code. I'm sure someone will take it and modify the sceLoadExec module and release something that replaces it in the flash0.

Of course I would never feel save modifying my PSP's firmware.

 » it's sort of pointless

you need to redownload all your eboots again because your corrupted ones can't boot up. Unless there is a program to make corrupted icons useful, this is an in the background program.

Although this loader sounds cool I feel so bad for that guy. moment of silence.......

 » Don't be co CRITICAL!

Dude released good patch but as most of you i agree with you, the old way is better becouse it is checked and 100% shure. This is the first release and we all know first releases have some bugs.

   by Timale-Kun - 2006-04-10
 » what the matter?!!

No more compatibilty problems (version), Thus you've got the choice in case there's ony 1.0 release (some people is very lazy to use the Kxploit Tool) and u said its sucks!!! I really cannot understand u guys (coward)

   by Anonymous Coward (Unregistered) - 2006-04-10
 » Hmmm...

Whilst its annoying to have to run it on each boot, since it's essentially a FW patch, could it be incorporated into PSPSet? That would be the most elegant system.

Pointless or what!

 » big talk up for such a usless thing

"But it uses KXploit to work." - Nice observation, lol

At first I thought this was some kind of cool new revolution where we wouldn't have corrupted icons. Turns out its not very functional (can't turn off you psp) and requires you to restructure all your homebrew over again. Why does qj.net love this thing so much. I don't think I ever will. AND I truely hope they don't try and convince devs to stop releasing in the 2 folder 1.5 friendly fashion!

 » What an idiot

YOu are such an idiot.You don't have to convert 1.5 eboots to 1.0 eboots.Just delete %homebrew folder and left only homebrew folder and it will work.
