Developer’s note:

This release improves MP3 file duration calculation, and solves issues with long menus. The package is a ‘bare eboot’ .zip, containing only the EBOOT.PBP (replace the one in our current 0.5.4 install or a previous 0.5.5 test build with it to add these features).

Changelog:

• MP3 support XING header of VBR file format
• Fix problem of KDPlayer’s MP3 play time and duration issue
• Solves issues with long menus
• Fix bug of socket close, which makes BOLT fail to connect after using a while

Released by pspflashsystem, this homebrew game has one goal: kill Homer and get out of the maze. You will have a sick rifle to use plus a minimap to help you hunt him down and eventually, get out of the maze.

LabKillHomer3D, as the name suggests, will come in 3D form (remember when Homer wound up in the 3D world during Simpson Halloween Special?) In order to get out of the maze, you have to battle and win over Homer in the final stage. This game has a map editor with four basic elements—wall, empty, player, Homer and the exit. You can save these custom maps under whatever name you’d want to use.

There’s only one way to find out what’s more in store for us with the LabKillHomer3D, download the homebrew game below and see for yourself.

To top of Sony’s 5.03 beat down recently, another security-shattering blow is delivered by Xenogears and Becus25 through the new custom firmware enabler. The CFWenabler version 3.01 contains new codes to support the PSP 3000. It also enables most, if not all, features of CFW M33 on your PSP consoles.

But remember you’re going to need ChickHEN R2 as well so download both plugins below.

The CFWEnabler 3.01 has these changes:

• PSP 3000 is now supported.
• Graphical interface improved.
• Network update option added (Server Needed).
• Official network update blocking option.
• New configuration options.
• Free UMD Region.
• Pic0/Pic1 Hide.
• version.txt.
• Registry Hacks.
• CPU overclocking.
• Solved several bugs.

With the way our homebrew creators are updating applications and plugins, don’t be surprise when more and more new versions would come out in the following days. After all, what would an ingenious creation be if it does not fit all versions of the popular Playstation Portable? I’m sure my kid cousin would love these new downloads.
