NOTE: This news article and the one below it are going to stay at the top of this site for a while so that everyone gets a chance to see this groundbreaking news. All new news articles will be posted below. (i.e.: Doom/Doom2 for PSP was released, read 2 articles down!)

Finally what you all have been waiting for, Swaploit has been released! This hack allows all you people with PSPs that have 1.5 Firmware to run HOMEBREW! A HUGE thanks to the Spanish guys over at PSP-Dev for this release!

I have also added an html file with links to many of the popular homebrew Emulators, Games, and Applications that have been released, so you don't have to go digging through our files section. You can view it here (or the news post below).

The PSP-Dev team has pulled a fast one and released the exploit early. This exploit has been confirmed to work. Again this exploit is for FIRMWARE V1.50 ONLY . Use at your own risk. You have to swap the memory sticks as quickly as possible for this to work. The file contains a PDF guide that has two methods (A and B) to get it working. Download Adobe Acrobat PDF Viewer if you don't have it. If you need more help, I have compiled three guides written by Shadowknight, Tfizzle and [mEGZ] in our forums here.

UPDATE: New version has been released v2, Method A now works and Linux is supported: You can get the new PSP Launcher in our PSP Download section here. (it's a RAR file, you need WinRar to to unzip it.)

UPDATE: One of our moderators Brain_stew has submitted this great zip (by PawStick of PSP-Dev) which contains pre-made MS1 and MS2 folders for the following emulators: Cygne0.0, fMSX06, GenPSP0.01, MAME v0.71n, NesterJ v1.01, ngPSP v1.2.1, PCE v0.53, PSP4PCE v0002, pSwan v0.03, RIN v1.24, SMS PSP v0.30, Snes9x v0.02y9, and xMAME v0.12. You can get it here.

Edit: We hate to have to say this again, but we will immediately delete any comments that 1) are unnecessarily inflammatory, 2) use excessive or unnecessary profanity, or 3) are useless or pointless rants. Please keep comments civil.

In the light of the 2.71 hack, discovered three days ago, I thought I'd come and visit the classic exploit. When there was no web browser, no "Game cannot be started: Data is corrupted!" and no TIFF format =)
Swaploit was great when it came out, my life began from that day (effectively HA)
Rest in peace, CybBlade;
