HomebrewStore v2.5 Released

Submitted by greg; May 11, 2011

Like my man Wololo says, I've seen many attempts at an online homebrew store, many which've failed due to lack of support or manpower. But this one -- this one seems to differ a bit. Add a professional look wrapped around some intuitive functionality and you get this new Genesis entry, appropriately titled "HomebrewStore."

Most notably, HomebrewStore v2.5 lets you queue content via its new iOS app. Yessir... Download that to your iPhone and not only can you browse all the HomebrewStore content, you can queue up homebrew that'll be automatically downloaded next time you fire up HomebrewStore on your PSP. Press L-Trigger + R-Trigger + Square from the storefront to access your PSP's device ID, which'll be entered in the iOS app. All homebrew content on the store is signed, meaning all the emulators, games, apps, etc. are compatible with official firmware. Download, install and you're set to go. HomebrewStore is solid, for real... Check it out. Hopefully it remains up unlike other homebrew store attempts, or even PSN for that matter. Haha. You can download HomebrewStore direct to your PSP by going to http://bit.ly/hbstore in your PSP web browser. Or visit the same URL on your PC to grab it and future updates.

HomebrewStore is powered by wonderful technology made to make your content retrieval experience the best possible. Updates to the database happen automatically, the store does not need to be restarted to see new content. Patches are installed automatically to the client upon connecting to the HomebrewStore Network, allowing for quick and easy installation of new features. New versions update from inside of the store entirely, no PC needed!

cant install on PSP I get a page with a fish and on PC it makes me download a "Setup.MSI>and when I click on PC DL.HBS it says searching for device begins install and gives me an exeption crash why not just a simple eboot oh and shut the fuck up If I spelled wrong becuase there is a fucking ad infront of where i am typing and cannot see shit.

# L 2011-05-11 22:33

it dose, i was scared becuz theres no way of unbrickn a psp 3000.

# pspnewbie101 2011-05-11 23:25

try to download it using ur psp! go to internet browser of ur psp and put this to address bar...
http://hbstore.screeze.com/ite... ....
then look at the files you dload,, make a new folder to ms0:PSP/GAME and name it whatever u like,, then extract the hbs.zip file and put it into the folder u made... yeah as easy as that!!

# Fazdil Plinkop 2011-05-12 00:01

downgrade for 6.37/6.38...please

# Megakid39 2011-05-12 03:26

Understandable. However, this program doesn't even have access to any flashes, which are the memory banks that, if messed with, will brick your PSP. I've been using HBstore on my PSP Go for a while (also a non-unbrickable), and I haven't had any problems (other than my internet being crappy).

# Chris Miller 2011-05-12 11:14

How bout just learn not to update UNTIL someone makes a custom firmware for new versions?

# Zombi3Assa22in 2011-05-12 11:56

@ Chris Miller
How bout if we updated by accedent (SORRY I know it's spelled wrong) if we wanted a game on PSN OR He's new to it...
WHAT THEN?

# warningproject 2011-05-12 15:32

this works on ofw to and all the homebrews that are on it , ithink...

# Jonny Joe 2011-05-12 16:30

There is such thing as a accident for updating. You have to agree to the update yourself. Accept responsibilitie s for your actions.

# polarbear76 2011-05-12 18:22

Well I installed it on mine with 6.20 Pro B5 and it works great. All the emulators and apps work without any problem (especially when I have been trying to install a working 2600 emu for several weeks now.) I just wish there were more apps right now though. Either way this is a A+ product.

# Snipo32 2011-05-12 19:29

This Is AMAZING definitely a keeper.

# L 2011-05-12 19:59

yea. i have that same problem. maybe after a few bug fixes and server updates the app and downoads will go smoother

# merrickayers 2011-05-12 20:06

@google-161e3f1b6283fb00ef16d9202aaa37af:disqus Ever think new psp's come preloaded with 6.37? Unless you are ordering from ebay or something which means no warranty.

# Alberto Carrisoza 2011-05-13 01:07

worked fine on psp 3001 running 6.35 bro b5

# vineeth_champ98 2011-05-13 04:10

# yahoo-CKKVVCFJI42SFM2FKTD7TH7C2I 2011-05-13 12:25

# koolrip 2011-05-13 20:40

loving this homebrew, would be great to see some XMB integration for this ^_^

# Jayson Snyder 2011-05-13 22:16

here is what you need to downgrade.
1- PspGrader program for windows.
2- Pandora Battery.
3- 2gb Memoory stick duo. (Blank)

And search how to use psp grader on youtube. Wink Wink it is very easy.

# Jayson Snyder 2011-05-13 22:18

are to homebrew and apps FREE... or do they cost actual money. Cause I dont feel good giving my credit card number to a hacker...

# Jayson Snyder 2011-05-13 22:25

and if you are using a psp 1000 or 2000 not 3000 or Go!, Upgrade to 6.38 ME-2. I am runnin that in my psp 2000 and I installed it on my friends psp 1000. Note: to update to 6.38 ME-2 you must already have 5.00 m33 installed.

# Ariel de Souza 2011-05-14 10:17

Works great with psp 2000 and prometheus v4. Very good!!

# Kevin Andrew Cothren 2011-05-17 13:05

why is it so slow

# Jonathan 2011-05-20 00:13

Any particular reason I keep getting an error when loading this app for the first time. Here is the entire line of error code "Error: HBSInit.lo:129: attempt to concatenate global 'curversion' (a nil value) Press START to restart

# Michael LaBruyere 2011-05-20 05:54

This is pretty cool, I have to admit I like it more than the PlayStation Store just because it's all user-made content. I'm also a bit surprised that the mobile version works well on the default android browser so kudos on that, job well done

# Phoenix 2011-06-11 14:57

>uses CFW
>thinks his warranty is still valid

# Guest 2011-10-19 06:47

PLEASE, do not give up on this app, all other Homebrew stores, have died... and the MHU Free Store Crashes my PSP.... This is Awesome!!!! I liove this store!!!! keep up the great work.

# Guest 2011-10-19 06:52

It works just fine on my psp 2000 running 6.60 ME-1.6 ?_?

# Guest 2011-12-15 00:02

Why does this come in a windows installer format? Isn't it supposed to be run on the PSP itself?

I really don't get this... i use gnu/linux, so i have no way to run it.

Can the author not just upload a zipper EBOOT format of the store? Really don't see the point in using a windows installer for installign the app to your PSP... any monkey can copy/paste a file via removable storage, don't need a program for "windows only" that does it for you.

I love the idea of this, but in its current form, it is useless.

# Guest 2012-01-19 05:30

this is beautiful

# Guest 2012-04-15 04:44

Best thing to do is Upgrade to 6.60 PRO-B9, and then install.

it sucks that hombrew store will be gone forever in about two but youll still havr API access though. once may 23rd hits there, the service is gonna completely shutdown :/
