PSP Homebrew Weekend Warrior: The CFW Mythbusters edition
Last week’s announcement of a new CFW in the works was marred by cries of shenanigans from the homebrew community. We already touched on that a bit in the previous edition of the PSP Homebrew Weekend Warrior, but the issue didn’t stop there. In the past seven days, we saw new videos both backing up and debunking the one that Team Mack showed. Read on for the rest of this week’s PSP Homebrew Weekend Warrior.
Last week’s announcement of a new CFW in the works was marred by cries of shenanigans from the homebrew community. We already touched on that a bit in the previous edition of the PSP Homebrew Weekend Warrior, but the issue didn’t stop there. In the past seven days, we saw new videos both backing up and debunking the one that Team Mack showed.
Custom Firmware News:

So, now that FreePlay has debunked the Team mack video (in the eyes of the majority of the PSP homebrew community at least), does that mean all the drama is over? Oh hell no. A Mack supporter challenged the PSP dev to create his own fake CFW to prove that 6.00 Mac-B was indeed fake. Basically, put up or shut up. Well, FreePlay did put up, and so we have these two videos (thanks to brandonheat8 for the tip!):
So yeah, there you go. As I write this, it’s a Saturday so some subsequent videos may have come up in the interim. Still, far be it for me to pretend to know more than I do about custom firmware development, so I’ll just leave you guys to decide for yourself if this Mack thing is legit or not. If you really need to use the 6.00 features that badly you can always install it and use Time Machine when you need your homebrew fix.
Anyway, that’s it for this week, guys. See you in seven.
