greg August 21, 2010
Ya’ll like Counter-Strike? Well here it is for your PSP… Only this one isn’t by Valve, it’s from Kevin Chen; and it’s not a first-person shooter, it’s a top-down shooter. But get this: it’s multiplayer — infrastructure style! Yessir. Get online and blast the opposing force away.

"Digital Comics (Demo)" for 5.XX Released

gregAugust 18, 2010
No, wait! Don’t get excited — it’s a demo, meaning, you can’t actually read any comics yet… This particular release simply showcases the possibility of Digital Comics on your hacked PSP. It boots, it runs, it can even play mp3s right now — just no comics.
Liquidzigong is working hard at cracking the remaining piece wide open. So keep your browser bookmarked & locked at psp-hacks.com ‘cuz we got you covered.


*Here’s what Liquidzigong had to say; translated of course, from Chinese to English:
理论上由于检验漫画许可证的mlnapp_proxy.prx没有被真正破解,所以这个破解版可能并不能看漫画,只能算个“演示版”。
#mlnapp_proxy.prx is not fully decrypted, so we cannot actually read the comics, but this is only a demo.
这个东西的重要性在于揭示了6.XX和5.XX固件之间的系统接口其实是相似的。
#this shows that the 6.XX and the 5.XX kernels are very similar.
Whataya think? Does Liquidzigong possess the necessary skills? My money says hells yeah. Download and check it out; maybe you can even lend a hand.

"Custom Firmware" 5.00 TZS-6 Released

greg August 14, 2010
Now I use the term “custom firmware” loosely — this is really 5.00 M33-6 with extras flashed in… Extras like PSNLover, Torky’s M33 6.20 plugin, which adds support for 6.00+ games & the Go!Cam, 6.XX XMB icons (note: there’s no digital comic reader), and the M33-7 recovery console.
The 5.00 TZS-6 easy installer comes from Sawaz and The Z, who released a similar installer for SensMe. TZS-6 is only compatible with PSP Slim models (non-TA088v3) and in order to successfully flash this you must already be running 5.00 M33-6.


Personally I recommend you stick with 5.00 M33-6 (or 5.50 GEN-D3) and manually install the plugins you need. Messing with flash can be dangerous, but you knew that.
Should you want to proceed anyway, here’s how:

1.Ensure you’re running 5.00 M33-6 first. If not, skip this entirely.

2.Copy “5.00 TZS-6 Easy Installer” to PSP/GAME on your memory stick.

3.Create a “kd620″ directory in the root of your memory stick.

4.In the seplugins directory, remove psnlover.prx & m33_620.prx, and their entries in vsh.txt and game.txt.

5.Launch the easy installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

6.After a successful install, enter the recovery console and set:

7.Configuration -> Fake region -> Korea

8.Configuration -> Use version.txt -> Enabled

9.Boot back to the XMB and try it out.

I can confirm this working as advertised; TZS-6 flashed successfully on my PSP-2000 running 5.00 M33-6, but like I said above, I don’t recommend it.
