Homebrew for PSP 2.0 - 2.8

I was a bit gutted when I upgraded the firmware on my PSP to 2.71 in order to get the Flash Player on there. I had a lot of useful homebrew like a PDF reader and some open source games like Tetris, and its always good to have the choice to try out some demos/games of your own (for example with LUAScript). Anyway some good news and probably the smoothest hack yet. You can now navigate to a special tif image on your memory stick and the preview icon alone will cause the PSP to run in User/Kernal mode all ready for homebrew.

I noticed your Disclaimer and thought it a bit funny that in the main blog entry, you mentioned an "open source" Tetris. Technically, isn't that game copyrighted? (I don't actually know, so I could be wrong. :)

That's a good catch, I'm not 100% on how that works, you see so many GPL'd Tetris clones I'm not sure on the legalities of these. Technically open source, but also as you point out, technically illegal?

Nod. Definitely something for lawyers to pick out. Anyway, I shall shut my mouth now as I am far from pure myself.
