LEDA - Legacy Software Loader Beta 0.1

Submitted by greg; February 02, 2009

Introducing Dark_AleX's LEDA: the Legacy Software Loader for older 1.0/1.50 compiled homebrew. This means any homebrew requiring the 1.50 kernel may be usable under CFW 5.00 M33 without the kernel add-on, even on the PSP Slim. Now keep in mind, LEDA is currently beta leaving compatibility unknown at this time. Please comment with your experience below should you have success or failure with whatever homebrew. PSP Fat users may also take advantage of LEDA despite the already working 1.50 kernel add-on. Like anything, LEDA has both its pros and cons -- LEDA Advantages:

It works on the PSP Slim too
It doesn't require much flash space
You don't need to care about which folder your homebrew is in. LEDA first tries to load the homebrew program normally. If it works, then the homebrew is a 3.XX+ one, and LEDA terminates itself to not waste RAM. Otherwise, LEDA does some patches to load the 1.0/1.5 homebrew.
Unlike 1.50 kernel add-on, LEDA tries to be independent of firmware. This means that whenever a new version of M33 is released, LEDA will probably work without need of an update.

LEDA Disadvantages:

Less compatibility. Anyway, I will try to make LEDA compatible with those old homebrew that are still useful today because they weren't updated or because they have a better old version.

Wow. One word explains it all.

Time to pull out all the stuff in my "Outdated Folder"

Mwahahahah.

Question now, do I buy a PSP2000 now that the PhatBrew is usable on them?

Makes me wonder if there is a way to make a PSP3000 homebrew app that can fix the scan lines. But I think thats part of the screen.

3000's scanline on screen IS part of the sceen/hardware.

and also, about the new psp 2000s, they contain the unhackable motherboard same as 3000.

if your buying one, either get a older slim model, perfered second hand one or get a 3000 if your willing to wait for the hack for them...

DAX always knows what the users want: fatsmod, PSN issues and now this. Tailoring a program that suits the users needs is just as vital to programming skills --- IMHO DAX is graded A++++++++ on both.

# wtaagf 2009-02-03 00:38

Well, on slims its either be able to play some 1.50 homebrew or play none...

# TheKnightsWhoSayNi 2009-02-03 00:40

If anyone is having problems getting older homebrew to work, make sure your homebrew folder is set to 1.50 in recovery

I was having problems and after switching, everything started to load

# Spy MasterX 2009-02-03 00:41

Wrong place to post about psp 3000... GOOGLE IT!

# Spy MasterX 2009-02-03 00:46

... Unless there is something wrong with the homebrew of course it's gonna load on 1.50 kernel because the homebrew was made for 1.50 kernel! the point of LEDA is so you don't have to keep on going into recovery menu to swap the kernel and have more than one game folder (also so slims can use older homebrew without having to use timemachine).

# Guest 2009-02-03 01:55

Well the less compatibility issue will be a problem but I mean we do have Timemachine, right?

# haxxor 2009-02-03 01:55

wtf

just sub the * for t

# Lelouch 2009-02-03 02:41

This program is the 1.50 kernell for the slim but this doesn't need rebooting. Meaning you can just play 3.xx homebrew and 1.50 homebrew without doing anything differently!! Just genius.

# dlink1013 2009-02-03 03:49

i have a phat psp and i dont need to switch between homebrew folders to play my 1.50 homebrew.my floder is set to 5.XX and all my 1.50 homebrew works.

# Zphynx 2009-02-03 04:37

i cant stand people as retarded as you are, if you can call it people

# psyfa 2009-02-03 09:29

Lolzersskatersm otha I never seen that one before O______________ ___o

# Lelouch 2009-02-03 09:47

With TimeMachine you have to reboot your psp to go into the 1.50 kernell. This can let you play 1.50 homebrew without switching your psp on and off. ^^

# Alex2beta 2009-02-03 11:02

i never knew that :]

# urm0m 2009-02-03 13:16

niiicee now if only we can get something to support infared on psp slim and then i will have every reason to keep a slim but this part will deff be hard.

# urm0m 2009-02-03 13:36

ooohhh and another thing since theres leda this might be good so psp fat users can get a little bit more ram space and keep location free and what not

# Mac2468 2009-02-03 19:05

You obviously don`t know how RAM works, do you?

# xbmc geek 2009-02-03 19:54

Dam i finally thought i could load XBMC RI without using time machine. It seems to work but then the psp shuts off and i have to turn it back on.

# bloodpool 2009-02-03 21:24

damn it....dark alex is GOD.......

# tehsusenoh 2009-02-03 22:07

It's about time!
Well, tetris works at least.

# Spy MasterX 2009-02-04 00:50

LOL

It uses up RAM space/memory/whatever when it needs to patch the homebrew and if it doesn't... It doesn't do a thing to the RAM! (So no, no more RAM for you)

# dontblockmefaggotmods 2009-02-05 00:46

why do faggotry mods keep deleting whatever i type. Democracy bitch, I should be able to express my opinion...

# foxdog 2009-02-05 01:56

sweet! my road dog finally works! the read me said it was for slim but time machine and now this was the only way i could get it runin

# fryman85 2009-02-05 05:25

thanx mang

you anwsered my question

# psyfadick 2009-02-05 23:27

# Luke 2009-07-03 22:29

I think i did something wrong....
now that I ran LEDA, I cant run my .iso/.cso files. it either just gives me a black screen and shuts down my psp or gives me an error message. What did I do wrong? O_o

# marketmesuite 3 2011-01-30 05:16

Me and a work friend ended up talking about this yesterday. Many thanks for the proof that I had been correct and after this I can relating to this!

# Mollie Muccigrosso 2011-02-07 23:06
