i recently got a 1.5 PSP, yesterday infact from a local store boxed and brand new

I've been enjoying the homebrew scene but i was wondering if any attempts have been made to create some sort of dual boot system, one for the current 1.5 firmware and then one for the 2.X firmware.

i think it would be possible, since our psp's can run homebrew, i wouldnt have a clue how to do it, but since we can run homebrew through the 1.5fw, maybe a newer eboot can be launched through that ?

Thanks.

well... Making it so when you boot the PSP you can choose w´hich system to launch could be a bit hard since you need to edit the boot files in flash0 and that's very dangerous, you most likely would get a brick.

Possible though right ? i mean its going to be hard, this sort of thing nearly is, but at least its possible..

i think

just use mph firmware launcher then you get the featufes o 2.70 without installing it

he means the games i think.
it's possible, but there would have to be a bootloader installed,
and perfect firmware emulation is far from complete for now,
so you'd have to be patient.

Reported by PSP|one Team

Das Team PS2Dev hat es geschft, erstmals wurde von einem externen Chip eine Hombrew, auf eine
PSP geladen. Ist der Weg jetzt geebnet für Hardware Mods? Es wäre vorstellbar, das man die 1.5er
Homebrew auf einen extra Chip packt und dann selber entscheidet welche Firmware man bootet.

Auch kann man seine PSP bei abgeschossener Firmware dann evt. wieder booten und ggf.
Reparieren. Die Möglichkeiten, sofern es denn Massentauglich wird, sind enorm. Wer weiss, vielleicht
bringen die einzelnen Gruppen jetzt ein Stand-Alone OS raus welches 100%ige Kontrolle über die PSP
ermöglicht.

My english is not the best maybe someone can translate this !?

Reported by PSP|one team The team PS2Dev geschft it, for the first time by an external chip a Hombrew, on a PSP was loaded. Is the way now smoothed for hardware Mods? It would be conceivable, which one packs the 1.5er Homebrew on extra a chip and then which firmware one decides bootet. Also one knows its PSP with shot firmware then evt. again boats and if necessary. Repair. The possibilities, if it becomes mass suited, are enormous. Who knows, perhaps the individual groups bring now a condition alone raus which 100%ige control of the PSP to OS made possible.

because i want the homebrew of 1.5, and to be able to stick in a game that wants 2.7 without having the hassle of ripping the UMD to find that it doesnt work as intended.
