Drama has once again infected the PSP homebrew community, and it involves no less than two of the loudest voices currently in the scene: mathieulh and Freeplay. Those who prefer to stick to the actual homebrew won't find the week lacking, though. We saw enough new apps and emulators (and news of a possible new GEN CFW!) released in the past seven days to last us the weekend.

Looks like not all is well in the kingdom of PSP homebrew. And it involves no less than two of the loudest voices currently in the scene: mathieulh and Freeplay. Over at our forums, mathieulh calls out Freeplay for supposedly leaking the Mercury exploit, when the code of said exploit wasn't his to begin with. More of the unfolding drama after the jump.

While those who've downloaded the new 6.20 have a new Digital Comics Reader to try out, the rest of the pack are still a bit hesitant in making the jump forward. You've read the official changelog, but it appears that what Sony didn't say out loud was that a previous exploit has now been patched. That said, FreePlay releases the PSP Go exploit that he's been working on, ensuing a new episode in the homebrew scene drama.

Ok guys, it's finally here. The highly debated PSP Go exploit by FreePlay has been released. Unfortunately, Sony discovered the loopholes of the save game exploit and quickly patched the game (now known as Archer Maclean's Mercury) with the release of PSP firmware 6.20. More after the break.

The guys behind HEN Kernel exploit is back. Davee together with the rest of Team Typhoon has posted a proof of concept video demonstrating  a 6.10 HEN exploit running on the PSP Go. But unfortunately according to Davee's post, this exploit will never be released to the public for reasons unknown. More after the break.

Here's a piece of good news to the PSP homebrew community. Early last month, as some of you may recall, FreePlay has released a video showing us that he has successfully hacked Sony's latest handheld iteration that got everyone buzzing with excitement. Well, now he's back to give us a status update on his project. According to his YouTube channel post, he is now making progress on the exploit with his NID resolver working flawlessly, and if he can get the eLoader source to work, we may have a PSP Go eLoader soon that will allow us to run our favorite homebrews on the PSP Go.

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.

Homebrew developer Yoshihiro has dropped by our forums to release XGEN UPDATER and XGEN pandora DC8 converter for the PSP. This handy tool will allow you to install CFW 5.50GEN-B2 directly on any PSP without a patch. It can also convert your DC8 kit to XGEN Pandora. More info after the break.

 The new breed of PSP games may have come protected with the new OFW 5.55, but just because it comes with new security features doesn't mean an old bag of tricks won't work on it. The Medal of Honor Heroes exploit from 5.51 was found to work on the new OFW, so if you have a copy of that game, an eLoader is now in the works so you won't have to worry about 5.55 getting in the way of your homebrew. Also, lots of great apps got updated earlier this week, so be sure to check 'em out as well.
