Launch homebrew from 2.71 XMB

Haven't you wanted to launch homebrew games directly from the XMB's "GAME" folder? No need for eLoaders, or TIFF exploits. Well, Dark Alex has come to the rescue. His latest homebrew solution allows you to boot newly-coded programs directly from the XMB. Pretty cool, huh? This homebrew will write to your PSP's flash memory, meaning there's a small chance that you can brick your system. Make sure you're willing to take that risk before running this app!
Unfortunately, the "standard" homebrew that's out there right now won't work with this method as they are in "elf" format. New homebrew will have to be developed in "prx" format to run using this method.

That whole small chance of bricking my PSP would seriously turn me off on this.
That and I run 2.80. :D

The fact that you have the ability to construct a complete sentence means that you WON'T brick it. Trust me.
But with such a limited 2.80 homebrew selection, you shouldn't even wate your time.

@vR
Is the possibility of bricking the system even something that's in the users control? I was under the impression that it was just a possible error that might occur while it was writing to the flash memory.
If it's a user issue, than I wouldn't think I'd run much of a risk at all. :)
