Another option: Custom Firmware 1.53

February 19, 2007

In a time when Dark_AleX and Booster creations are, arguably, the cream of the crop, it is always nice to have other options for all of us in the homebrew community. Remember the year-old Custom Firmware 1.50: Media Edition? Well, eiffel56 informed us (thanks for the tip!) that he has released Custom Firmware 1.53. So what does this do?

This one is made for FW1.5 loyalists. Basically, it’s a custom firmware which allows you to do more things on your FW 1.50, like starting nokxploited EBOOTS and so on. Here’s what’s new for this release:

Recovery Menu
Boot Menu
Integrated uxMB
You can start 1.00 style EBOOTS
You can hide corrupt data icons
You can start ISO/DAX files
You can load your own plugins(PRX)
Autoboot EBOOTs at startup
Never turn off the backlight in XMB

The dev has provided us with an in-depth readme file that comes with the download. So if this creation tickles your fancy, we suggest that you understand and read the file. Anyhow, here’s the download link for all of you guys.
