A lot of applications made for the ChickHEN homebrew enabler were released this week, and arguably the one that made the most noise was Xenogears and Becus25's Custom Firmware Enabler. We also saw quite a few homebrew games this week, but the emulators were the ones who hogged the spotlight in the homebrew gaming scene. Read on for the rest of the PSP Homebrew Weekend Warrior.

Becus25 has now come out to deliver rGameboot Utility v0.2 to all followers of the PSP homebrew scene. This application generates an opening_plugin for rgameboot and allows users to select the root of the program.

If you've been using an older version of the application, this release can be considered safer since it now checks if the drive written is in either ms0 or flash. If it finds that it isn't in either format, the application will output "false" and refuse to generate the opening_plugin.

Other PSP coders will be pleased to know that the source code for the program was also released and is included in the compressed file. As with all homebrew, remember to go over all the documentation before doing anything to prevent any unwanted problems with the PSP.

Homebrew coder becus25 rolled out a new build of the application rGameboot bringing it up to version 1.1. This is really a surprise release, seeing that it's been a while since the developer updated the program.

rGameboot stands for Random Gameboot and gives users the ability to randomize a total of three gameboots. Version 1.1 comes with a Windows-compatible utility called rGameboot utility. This particular part of the plugin allows for generating a new opening_plugin.prx and where you will select the root to load the gameboots.

becus25 also said that the plugin uses the autoboot during operation. rGameboot v1.1 comes with a Readme.txt file containing vital information for the program to work. If you are still unsure on how to use this, you can discuss the release with other users through the forum link below. The coder also mentioned that the application  was tested using DAX's CFW 3.40 OE.

It looks like the homebrew community is going to lose another developer for some time - to school. Well, it's not a bad thing and it's good to have priorities. To make up for another absence, becus25 has released an upgraded version of Vsh Resource Manager, or Vrm, and made the source code public.

Vsh Resource Manager is basically a theme flashing application that sports custom firmware support (OE, M33, and Wildc*rd). For version 1.0, becus25 worked some kinks out and added other functions into the homebrew app. Here's the complete list from the dev's release thread:

• Small bug fix.
• When you flash a file, vrm will show the size of it.
• If you haven't put the pngs files on his root, the program won't start.
• On main menu vrm will show the folder root selected.
• Support for exit of the application pressing L+R+START . With this you can exit of the application of any part.

We need not remind you that messing with your flash0 always has that risk of bricking (here's to hoping you have an extra battery). Anyway, enjoy.
