I feel very annoyed with myself for upgrading to 2.70 and especially since the 2.50/2.60 downgrader.

Does this mean that less people are working on a 2.70/2.71 exploit (Us 2.70+ users don't really deserve homebrew seen as it was our stupid selves that killed our chances of homebrew).

I have a feeling since that the modchip is available and the downgrader not many people if any are working on a 2.70/2.71 exploit.

I would like to know if anyone knows of any progress that has been made with exploiting 2.70/2.71?

I already know of the shutting down thing which isn't even progress because it just causes the psp to crash because of a missing file from the eboot.

I have considered the modchip but it looks too hard to install!!!

I have even considered getting another psp!!!

I have one more option, swap my psp with a friends psp which is 2.01 (He doesn't know about homebrew and only uses his psp for music and videos but his psp is in need of a new faceplate)

Does anyone here know what firmware a base pack psp bought from the UK will have installed and what motherboard model/number?
