The prospect of running homebrew applications on PSP-3000 units is inching closer — perhaps closer than you may think. Beta tester Granite today uploaded yet another video showing off HEN for firmware 5.03. Evidently, progress has advanced tremendously since wee last saw it in action. Not only has compatibility extended to all current PSP models, the ability to launch homebrew straight from within the XMB interface has been implemented. And there’s proof: shown as successfully running in the clip is Genesis emulator DGEN and Jelly Car, an indie effort.
Although work on the project is wrapping up, an exact release date has yet to be announced. Stay tuned for updates.
