QJ.NET reader Fadil sent us an email today informing us that well-known PlayStation Portable homebrew developer Mathieulh is cooking up something for all Sony handheld owners who love to play PSOne games.

The project is called Multi-disc Popsloader and here is what Fadil said about the matter:

PSP homebrew developer Mathieulh tipped us off today to let us know that a new Popsloader binary with full support for building multi-disc PSone EBOOTs is due for release soon.

Essentially, this means that when converting multi-disc PSone games for use with custom firmware on the PSP, users will be able to store and compress all the data into one EBOOT file, rather than building a separate EBOOT file for each disc.

Needless to say, this is really something useful for all of us who are fond of playing classics on our Sony handheld units. No release date for the program so be sure to keep checking back here for the latest development.

UPDATE: Probably due to our own excitement, we seemed to have named Mathieulh as the developer of this upcoming homebrew application. Fadil just sent in an email once again, informing us that Dark AleX himself is actually the one working on this.

According to his latest email, DAX is the owner of this program and Mathieulh is the one who provided him with the tip. Hope that clears up the confusion.
