[breakmx]

iver used search function for some time now but i culdnt find anytin dat answers my question directly..do i hav to instal eloader on my 3.80 M33-4 (slim) . is it necessary ? what exactly does it do . i noe a little bout it though .
thx in advance

it all depends on what you are trying to do but you dont have to

[mohaas05]

ok first of all:

Second, depends. Eloader is for running 1.5 homebrew on your psp. if you have a phat (original) psp you can just install the 1.5 kernel addon. If you have a slim then you need to use eloader.

[McLoViN_iT]

in that case he would need eloader

[mohaas05]

if you go for eloader i'd recommend getting the slimchoice gui for it. it looks so much better than emenu. I use eloader with slimchoice on my 3.80 M33 phat since I only have 1 or 2 1.50 homebrews and i don't want to install 1.5 kernel just for them.

You don't NEED eloader to run homebrew - only homebrew that uses the 1.50 kernel. And even then it's not perfect...

that means my CFW already supports some homebrew ? so if i do instal it ill get more compatible homebrews on my slim ? i tink ill instal it.
thx

You don't "install" eloader. It's just a program used to load other programs.

The latest CFW is 3.80 M33, so it comes equipped with the 3.80 kernel (aka 3.xx kernel). This kernel will load all homebrew specifically made for it. It just won't be able to load 1.5 kernel-based games, unless you use eloader - and even still, not all homebrew will load properly.

If you want to find some 3.xx compatible homebrew, I suggest checking out my thread.

Alternatively, you can search dl.qj.net for '3.xx' or 'slim' and get TONS of results.
