LivePatch 11270121 is now being sent to all PSP clients when they connect to the HomebrewStore.

LivePatch 11270121 shows a small banner encouraging the user to consider donating to the HomebrewStore on the Storefront every 5 starts of the Store. New users should not see this banner on their first start.

Another LivePatch will be made available before the end of the year to enable the checking of software installed on the PSP against the HomebrewStore database to determine if content is out of date.

The new LivePatch should be pretty great, I hope you'll enjoy it :)

As far as donations, no we have not received any for a while. :(

No that page is not official, our offical content update stream is on twitter at @PSPHBStore

HBStore 3.0 is still a while off, and the eboot won't be changed until the next version update.

As for your problem, I'm not sure what you are describing but if it is the uses and counting not appearing that would be due to the HomebrewStore being under a lot of stress server-side whenever you tried accessing it. This usually happens right after a content update as caches are rebuilt.

As previously promised, a new LivePatch has been made to check the content installed on the user's PSP against the HomebrewStore database to determine if content is out of date.

This new LivePatch is LivePatch 12270958. Its official changelog is as follows:
-- Checks for Outdated Content
-- Visual Changes to Queue Downloader

Users will notice a message that says "Inspecting Installed Content" during the startup of the HomebrewStore from this point onward. This message shows after "Checking for Updates" but before "Preparing Storefront".

Changes have been made to the HomebrewStore Terms of Service to accomodate the inspection of installed content. For those with privacy concerns, know that the HomebrewStore client only sends a list of detected content IDs and version numbers to the HomebrewStore servers after inspecting the storage device, no other information from the inspection is sent.

HomebrewStore can only provide version checking against content installed from this point onward. Previously installed content cannot be version checked due to content installed before this update not having version data. Content may be redownloaded from the HomebrewStore to get valid version data(deletion of the content before redownloading should not be necessary).

Other caveats include:
  • HomebrewStore can only provide version checking for content installed using HomebrewStore formatting (/PSP/GAME/HBRW10XXXX/ where XXXX is a HomebrewStore ID number). This is not a problem for any content installed using the HomebrewStore. However, this means that most manually installed homebrew will not be version checked.
  • Content installed using the HomebrewStore Downloader for PC will not have version data installed with it. There will be an update to the HomebrewStore Downloader in the near future to remedy this.
  • HomebrewStore will only provide version checking for content installed in the /PSP/GAME/ directory. Content installed in other directories such as /PICTURE/ will not be version checked.
Enjoy the (hopefully :P ) last LivePatch of the year!

To go along with the recently published LivePatch, there have been a few changes server-side to the HomebrewStore to close things up for the end of the year.

First off, the PSP's web installer has been updated to match the look of the HomebrewStore website.
Secondly, visitors to the HomebrewStore's website using an iPad now once again will be redirected to HomebrewStore Mobile.
and Finally, information about the HomebrewStore API has been made public and a page for developers has been made on the HomebrewStore website. You can find it at: http://hbstore.screeze.com/developers/

LivePatch 0106121147 is now being sent to PSP clients that connect to the HomebrewStore. (We should probably start giving these LivePatches names... :lol: )

LivePatch 0106121147 provides for minor changes to the previous LivePatch that enabled content version checking. This new LivePatch fixes a bug that caused version checking to happen on every visit to the Storefront, instead of just once per use of the Store.

Such a shame


one of the most used apps since genesis competition or even long and no sponsor (backround picture or similar) or homebrew guy bad in doing marketing.(close to no competitors /pspinstaller is down since a few month) ... no way to use a pay buy click system?
