This is a tool to run homebrew EBOOT programs on your v2.0 PSP. It will not run on any other firmware version. It’s very much work in progress, but can load quite a lot of existing EBOOTs. Thanks to psp-news for the news. Changes:

Introduced a configuration file, to allow tweaking of EBOOTs by end-users. See loader085.cfg for details

Improved kernel-mode override patching logic – makes a lot more apps run

Attempt to kill surplus system threads, for stability

Run loader from reserved memory for increased stability

Tidied up some memory reuse in ELF section header handling

Bundled graphical menu now filters to only display the names of EBOOTs for selection – all the surplus fluff is hidden. Also now handles v1.5 kxploit-style homebrew directory structure

Added option to allow L+R+START reset to go back to loader menu, rather than main menu
