1 PS Vita Hacks, PSP Homebrew, and Popular Tools Make an Appearance: Here are This Week's Hottest Do rrootage v1.5 - PSP rrootage is a game with a long history here on the PSP scene, which makes it all the more important to cover on a special day like to day. Developer Miquel Carol has been away from the title for quite some time, but has somehow managed to bring the entire experience up to speed by finally adding support for the many 6.XX custom firmware options you have ahead of you. This more or less means that now any PSP on the planet should be able to run the game should you have the proper hacks installed on your system. Whether you are looking to try something new, or are feeling a bit nostalgic for a scene that isn't so concerned with user mode game hacks, this is one of the best ways to get your fix. 1 / 7

2 In regards to gameplay, rrootage takes cue from a long line of dodge-ship games such as Galaga and Asteroids. As the pilot of this tiny craft, it is your job to simply dodge as many bullets as you possibly can while at the same time collecting bombs for ammunition. It's a simple concept, but in terms of the difficulty level this is a game that truly possesses that classic sense of challenge. Your enemies bullets will spray from all corners of the map, so it will take a good set of reflexes to succeed at this game. The good news is, the graphics of the whole experience still have a unique shine to them, so even if you lose you'll look good doing it. For lovers of the classics this game is a must. Looking to have some fun on the Vita? Installing the hack on our next page could allow you to play homebrew games like rrootage on that newer Sony handheld!

3 While things may not be as complete as the PSP hacks out there, progress on the Vita has been moving right along within the past week. In the middle of March Sony released a firmware update to their system numbered at 2.06 as a mandatory update. While not many features were added, app stability had been improved, and of course those without this revision installed were barred access from all of their network features as well as the ability to play some more current games. It's a sad day when this happens, but luckily the hack gods that be gave us another gift. With the help of a PSP Mini called Apache OverKill, thousands of folks from around the world have now been rewarded with the ability to play homebrew games on the most recent firmware version. Looking for all the best hacks and the latest official features? It doesn't happen all that often, so when it does sign me up! The catch of course is that you must have Apache OverKill to make this download work for you. Since it has already been removed from all stores that may be a bit of a challenge, but there may be a few stragglers that made the purchase long before it would be used for means such as this. To all new Vita hackers, consider this my welcome. This download (or some copy of it) made all of that homebrew madness possible! 3 / 7

4 PS2 Classics related tools are still flying in for the PS3, but the one I'm covering on the next page has to be one of the more popular options! PS2ISOtoXMB Conversion GUI v1.0 Beta - PS3 The ability to play any PS2 game that your heart desires has been one of the most interesting development in the PS3 scene to date. Remember those days when Sony used to say that your system simply was wasn't backwards compatible? Well the simple truth is that they lied to you. With just a little elbow grease, an iso file, and help from the correct algorithm, pretty much any title you want can be booted right from your hard drive. As you can imagine there are a whole bunch of tools to complete all of the tasks you need, but there are few more intriguing options than this new release brought to us by Spewfr. 4 / 7

5 As the name implies, what this GUI more or less does is take your game ISO and convert it to the same kind of PKG file that can be booted right from the XMB. Essentially this means no more having to pass through multiman to get your games loaded. Instead, you can just click and go. The best part is, a large part of the process is done by the program as well. Just copy in the icons you want to use, enter in the GameID and name of the content, and the GUI will more or less do the rest to create a PKG you can install just like all the others. The only real issue is that ReActPSN must be used for every game, so you will start to accumulate several.rap files. If that doesn't bother you, then this is one awesome tool. It's been a little while since we've heard from the small but mighty manager on the following page, which makes it all the more worth covering! 5 / 7

6 IrisManager v2.2b - PS3 It wasn't too long ago that Estwald and D_Skywalk updated their popular IrisManager game loader to work with the newly released round of 4.40 CFWs. The problem is however, that when a lot of folks tried to use the software to play their favorite titles, many of them refused to work. Compatibility usually is never an issue when it comes to Iris especially, so this anomaly left many a hacker scratching their heads and waiting for some kind of answer. Sure they had other options to use, but if there's one thing I know about IrisManager fans, it's that they don't like to deviate from the norm unless they have to. 6 / 7
