Probably would be more useful if there's a firmware file available that wee can extract from...
Hm, so just a PSP exploit really, but means that PSP homebrew is at least possible.
Wonder if it runs any better/worse on the Vita.
To be honest, I loved the PSP. It was so ahead of its time as far as handheld consoles go. Hell, you can play a wide variety of games on it from so many different consoles. The screen was huge for handheld standards. It was a multimedia player, web browser, universal remote, and so on. It died due to lack of interest in the homebrew community. When DaX dropped out and GEN took over, things just went downhill from there. Not to mention the lack of overwhelming official games. Sure, the PSP had some very amazing gems (the GTA ports, MH series, Final Fantasy, just to name a few).
