Gameboot Flasher for 2.6

So you think your pretty unfortunate since you are just blessed with a PSP 2.6, since you’re being left out from all the fun that the 1.5ers are getting? Well, since the 2.50/260 downgrader is already here, that shouldn’t be the case anymore. Unless you are afraid that you will mess up the instructions and brick your PSP. Well, that’s your call.

Anyways, just to say that the 1.5 owners don’t get all the fun (actually they do, since the release of the latest devhook), homebrew developer, Slasher, concocted a simple gameboot.pmf flasher for 2.60 FW. This app was based on the work of hitchikr, neural, DarK_AleX, Yoshihiro, and Mathieulh.

According to Slasher, all you have to do is “simply put the gameboot.pmf in the root of your memorystick, run the program, and it’ll flash it directly to your flash0:/vsh/resources/ folder.” With that you’re all good!

Also, the good developer informed us about some security checks and other info about this app. Security checks include the following:

– Checks if AC adapter is plugged in
– Checks if gameboot.pmf is actually placed in the right location
– Avoids flashing if something goes wrong

* After running the program; if there’s an error, it will return to eloader; if it’s successful, your psp will be restarted.
* If disc read error pops up, all you need to do is turn off your psp, then turn it back on. If that doesn’t work, then take battery out for 5 mins then put it back in.
* Works on TA-082 PSP mother boards

He also would like to convey that there’s always a risk of bricking your psp while flashing something. Although this has been tested and confirmed working remember that you are using this at your own risk. QJ.net and the developer won’t be held responsible if your brick your PSP with this software.

He also says that the MAX gameboot.pmf size is 1mb, although he isn’t 100% sure with that. But he asks you to please avoid flashing gameboots that are any larger. If you flash anything larger than 1 mb, you may end up with a brick.

And as a sign of a good developer, he wishes to extend his thanks to those who helped him along the way: to TMK (TheMarioKarters) for the idea, and for helping him test the app. As always, your constructive criticisms, opinions, and suggestions will be very much appreciated so let ’em flow through your comments.
