Greg of psp-hacks shared us a news from pspgen that Evangelion detects and freezes with CFW installed. Quoted from him:

Reported via the fine French folk over at pspgen is a new game, Evangelion: Jo, which apparently detects the presence of whatever custom firmware you may be running. The game starts and immediately hangs at the screen below (in here it is above this) accompanied by some soft classical music. And this isn’t a simple spoofable version check either; the game actually checks the contents loaded in RAM and should it see something it doesn’t like — it bails.

Developer named hetoan2 is cooking an exploit with the use of Super Mario Galaxy. Quoted from the said developer:

This new wii exploit allows code to be executed by the game. I showed this before loading a level in an earlier video. Now I have a code that loads a boot.elf from the root of the SD card. This is done by an anomaly in the game which has the game storing data in a buffer area, the data overflows and overwrites adjacent memory. In this case It allows a modified save to run code, unfortunately, playing on this save file can easily mess with the code due to where the code is loaded from. The exploit is also very dangerous as turning off during the underlying NAND processes can cause bricks. The only way to get the code to execute is to preform the glitch. It's not easy to do. Once this is perfected so that it is easier to do and is safer it will be released. Until then enjoy.

This program will allow your psp to load faster and run smoother.

The way the program works is it changes the settings so instead of loading everything on your psp, once it loads the different parts up as you use them. For Example : No need to have the video player loaded up if your not using it right?
There you go, psp goes faster now.

Completely Safe and safe to use with all current firmwares. It has not been tested on HEN yet but I know it is completely safe to use.

This is only the first release and I will be adding to it. At the moment you get about a 8-10
percent speed-up but I hope to get that up to at least 50%. Enjoy!!!

Installation.
Put the memory manager folder into your game folder and run.

This is a spoofer (aka faker) for the information found in the XMB->Settings->System Settings->System Information. This version supports the firmwares of 5.00 and 5.02 and includes spoofing of both System Version and Mac Address. So you can personalize the XMB Information for whatever you need, including your own imaginary "8.32342 0xDEADBEEF" firmware and matching mac address.

This newer spoofer supports the version 5.03 and 5.05 in addition to 5.00 and 5.02. No other features have been added.

Changelog v3:
- Added support for 5.03 and 5.05

Installation:
Copy the "sysconf_spoofer.prx" to the "seplugins" folder on your MEMORY STICK and add a line to vsh.txt (or create one within seplugins folder) and add the line "ms0:/seplugins/sysconf_spoofer.prx 1" and then make a "spoofversion.txt" and/or a "spoofmac.txt" in seplugins folder. Within these, write your hearts desire; with either ascii (normal text) or Unicode* (special characters). Reboot your PSP, and be amazed at your system information.

DON'T NAME THIS EXPLOIT! LEAVE THAT TO COMEX!

Exploit by comex, ELF loading code by Team Twiizers. Bug used was discovered by svpe.

This exploit exploits a vulnerability in SSBB's stage builder code to run arbitrary homebrew code. Currently it will load an elf file from /boot.elf on the SD card.

This exploit differs from others in the fact that it is quite difficult for Nintendo to patch. There is no method on the Wii for patching games, and as this exploit does not go through the System Menu, it can not be patched by Nintendo at this time.

Join us in #sssb on EFNet (irc.efnet.net) to discuss! Release is when its done (aka: soon).

All you have to do to use this exploit is delete all custom stages on your Wii, then copy over the file. When you etner the Stage Builder menu, it will automatically run /boot.elf on SD.

A quick update on the CFW Enabler reaching version 2.50.

On this new version, ChickHEN patching has been improved and it has lots and lots of less bugs (solved the one who didn't allow the version patch after quitting a game, also you can now install any pops version in flash, the plugins bug is now gone, and you can even install lower versions at the same time as the latest one, even though that's not interesting)

Thanks for the quick update and we hope that we can use this too with the 3000 models.
