Homebrew VIVA Src Makes An Appearance

The homebrew coder, Auraomega, has released a download package which he calls Viva Src. The package includes both the VIVA application and a program to assist with the flash loading. Check out these words from the developer:

“Ok, this if those of you who know what VIVA is, if you don’t go search it >.>

I developed this as a “look I can do it”, to prove that I could get an XMB replacement booting from the flash as well as the XMB, and all that fancy stuff. Well, I think now its time for me to hang up my PSP (metaphorically), as I have more pressing things to be doing, however I believe that someone could take this chance to either finish (ugh… might as well have said start) VIVA using the base code I have, or for a budding developer to come along and say “hey, I want to make and XMB replacement, and this guy Aura made a couple, I’ll see how he did it”, because believe me, first time around it ain’t easy

I’ve included the flasher too, I’m sure you can work out whats going on there, and if you can’t you shouldn’t be playing in the flash. The patches however aren’t included as anything more than a package, this can be used and hex edited to load any file you want. Check the small, not-very-informative readme to get a bit of a better feel for whats there and whats not.”

This is a pretty tech-intensive project, so if you’re feeling savvy and up for the challenge, grab the download package here to check it out.
