Homebrew

[rallyracr420]

First off, homebrew is not illegal. Sony says running unauthorized code will void your warranty, but that's just because they don't want you pirating PSP games.

Now what exactly is homebrew software? Well right now there are two types of software you can run on the PSP: software approved by Sony and software made by programming enthusiasts (ie. homebrew).

-Authorized Software-
Anything that comes on a UMD is authorized software approved by Sony. This software will run on any PSP from firmware 1.0 all the way up to the most recent 2.5.

-Homebrew-
Seeing the power that this little wonder has, various programming enthusiasts across the world have decided that the software feature set of the PSP is nowhere near its potential. So programmers started adding features to the PSP OS: creating homemade games, helping turn the PSP into a PDA, using the IRport to remote control TVs and such. The possibilities are nearly endless.

There's only one catch...homebrew software will only run on PSP firmware 1.0 or 1.5. If you have other firmware versions, here are your options:
2.5 = You cannot run homebrew until someone cracks this firmware version. DO NOT UPGRADE TO 2.5 IF YOU WANT TO RUN HOMEBREW SOFTWARE.
2.01 = You cannot run homebrew until someone cracks this firmware version. DO NOT UPGRADE TO 2.01 IF YOU WANT TO RUN HOMEBREW SOFTWARE.
2.0 = Downgrade to 1.5
1.51 = Upgrade to 2.0, then downgrade to 1.5
1.52 = Upgrade to 2.0, then downgrade to 1.5

ok since this is about it does anyone know where to get the doom homebrew.

[rallyracr420]

The Doom source code has been legally released by id Software, so someone just ported it over to the PSP. Once you have the correct EBOOT.PBP to load up the Doom program, you'll need a .WAD file to actually play Doom. The .WAD file is the file that contains all the weapon definitions, monsters, levels, textures. The easiest way to get the .WAD file is to just copy it from the Doom installation directory on your computer to the PSP. Because the source code has already been released for this game, Doom1 .WAD files should be readily available across the internet.

All you need:
1) PSP Doom copied into the appropriate Doom directory on the memorystick
2) the single .WAD file from your PC copied into the same directory

Homebrew is something I think sony should let happen. I know they won't let it happen b/c of people trying to steal games over the internet. But that's life.
