The team at Bitfood have become fascinated by the whole underground culture of PSP “homebrews”. We plan on doing interviews with some of the more prominent homebrew characters, exploring the products that these creative underworld game-geeks develop and attempting to bridge the “concept” gap that exists between them and “average” PSP gamers.

Take this following snippet of a recent conversation by famous underground homebrewer Dark-Alex:

“and I gave him a kernel exploit of C+D, which was found by joek … as it is being used to decrypt 3k modules”

See what we mean? And yet this is probably better than most chats we see on homebrew forums!

In other words, we will be aiming to turn their mysterious doings into something we average guys and gals can understand! This will also hopefully mean that the average PSP user will feel confident in using homebrew PSP games.

Rorschach, for example, is a free homebrew game. Rorschach is a detective-adventure RPG for PSP. (The chief doctor at an asylum has been brutally murdered. Player must make friends, manipulate and confront people to find their dark secrets to be able to find out who the murderer is and why the he did it - Screen shot below)

In order to download this game, however, you must have a “Homebrew enabled PSP”

In fact, there is a whole range of issues that need to be understood before the average PSP user can even think of taking advantage of the free games that homebrewers design. Some of these questions we will answer over the coming weeks:

*How do we get out PSP “homebrew enabled”

*Is that the same thing as getting our PSP Modded?

*What are the risks associated with getting our PSP “homebrew enabled” and can we do this ourselves, buy software to do it, or buy a PSP already enabled?

Now, there are sites that specialize in PSP homebrew issues. Go check them out and you will discover very quickly that they speak another language! We aim to make all this make sense to the non-technical PSP game-playing public.
