Though the number of homebrew programs lately isn’t as big as when the first exploits were discovered, it’s still exciting to see that users will no longer require GTA in order to run homebrew programs.
This exploit takes advantage of an image format exploit (yet again) and has the ability to run unsigned code on any PSP with firmwares from 2.0 to 2.8. There are no homebrew loaders yet, but I reckon it shouldn’t be too long before one emerges. Either that, or a new downgrader, but I’d prefer the first.
The image below consists of the PSP firmware family loading the new “Hello World!” program.

1Persistant aren’t they? heh I’m too scared to try do that on mine, if I bricked it I’d cry. So expensive.
On a side note, glad to see this post it’s been almost a week I thought the site was broken or something. x.x

This crack doesn’t flash anything in your firmware, therefore I guess it’s safe to say it’s perfectly harmless. It might “crash” your PSP if you try to exit it, but that is just a case of a simple reboot.
