Homebrew Loader for us non 1.50 Kernel Slim owners

LEDA - Legacy Software Loader Beta 0.1

Introducing Dark_AleX’s LEDA: the Legacy Software Loader for older 1.0/1.50 compiled homebrew. This means any homebrew requiring the 1.50 kernel may be usable under CFW 5.00 M33 without the kernel add-on, even on the PSP Slim. Now keep in mind, LEDA is currently beta leaving compatibility unknown at this time. Please comment with your experience below should you have success or failure with whatever homebrew.

PSP Fat users may also take advantage of LEDA despite the already working 1.50 kernel add-on. Like anything, LEDA has both its pros and cons –

LEDA Advantages:

• It works on the PSP Slim too
• It doesn’t require much flash space
• You don’t need to care about which folder your homebrew is in. LEDA first tries to load the homebrew program normally. If it works, then the homebrew is a 3.XX+ one, and LEDA terminates itself to not waste RAM. Otherwise, LEDA does some patches to load the 1.0/1.5 homebrew.
• Unlike 1.50 kernel add-on, LEDA tries to be independent of firmware. This means that whenever a new version of M33 is released, LEDA will probably work without need of an update.

LEDA Disadvantages:

• Less compatibility. Anyway, I will try to make LEDA compatible with those old homebrew that are still useful today because they weren’t updated or because they have a better old version.
