It's been a rather busy seven days for the PSP homebrew community. The great homebrew hope is still burning bright thanks to Freeplay's hack for the PSP Go (that was fast, wasn't it?), and custom firmware users who don't want to upgrade to non-M33 firmware have steadily been given better and better chances of playing new games on their old firmware thanks to Yoshihiro's frequent Game Decrypter updates and the arrival of a new app called Eboot Patcher. All that and more homebrew goodness in the PSP Homebrew Weekend Warrior!

To all the naysayers still doubting the authenticity of Freeplay's work on the PSP Go, here's something that will definitely change your mind. No less thanMaGiXieN of PSP GEN has tested the hack and has given his word - the PSP Go hack by Freeplay is not a fake. Check out the video right here.

Still having doubts on FreePlay's work on the newly discovered PSP Go exploit we posted days ago? Well he's back to show us more proof about the exploit and yes, the hack is universal. Check out the video proof after the jump.

Yep, you read that right folks. Mere days after its launch and somebody's already hacked the PSP Go. Hold your horses, though! There are a few caveats.

Konami's Pop N' Music (on Wii) game is coming to the PSP, as this Japanese magazine scan shows. Reportedly, this version will have over 80 songs from various Pop N' Music games.

Last week's announcement of a new CFW in the works was marred by cries of shenanigans from the homebrew community. We already touched on that a bit in the previous edition of the PSP Homebrew Weekend Warrior, but the issue didn't stop there. In the past seven days, we saw new videos both backing up and debunking the one that Team Mack showed. Read on for the rest of this week's PSP Homebrew Weekend Warrior.

Despite being widely criticized for their work on MAC-B 6.00, Team Mack has remained adamant, continuing to defend themselves with video updates, which continue to get bashed anyway. If user comments won't get to them, maybe this one will. If there's anyone in the homebrew scene who's gonna speak up against tomfoolery, it's FreePlay. The self-confessed "PSP hacker, PSP Revolution addict, atheist, skeptic, all-purpose ranter" posts his own video debunking Team Mack's 6.00 CFW.

When Mack's CFW 6.00 MAC-B video surfaced, the word "fake" was echoed in forums and comments sections all over the interwebs. Insisting that they're legit and their work will indeed be downloadable in the future, Mack posts another vid explaining everything.

Keeping tabs on our Who's Who QuickGuides? Let's see now - we've had the life and times of Dark AleX, the AhMazing AhMan, the silent but deadly MaTiAz, the free radical FreePlay, and the scene prodigy Davee. Now let's point the spotlight to one of the scene's most high-profile collection of superdevs. With their countless contributions to the grateful homebrew community and an unhappy Sony, it's only fitting that we pay tribute to "homebrew without a clue" - the great irony known as Team Noobz.

It was a very pre-mature knock out for Britain's Ricky Hatton in his "fight" against the Pacman, Manny Pacquiao, and I say that's a darned good way to end this week in gaming news (the astounding fight, I mean, not Hatton's shocking cuddle time with the floor), which, in itself also saw an intense fight in and out of the ring. From big games' updates to last-minute reveals, this edition of the QuickJump QuickPeek is a definite winner. And we've got it all stored here for you. Quick as a flash, like the Pacman's deciding left hook.
