@HWNJ has released FunTuna at PSX-Place, which is a collection of existing PS2 homebrew that has been edited and packed for easy newbie consumption. This project comes with custom versions of Fortuna, Free McBoot, uLaunchELF and the Free McBoot Configurator as well. FunTuna only works on Slim PS2 models, even if they comes with BIOS 2.30 or above (SCPH-900XX), no matter the region; and even works on emulators (PCSX2) and consoles with mod-chips installed. With the latest advancements in hacking the PS2 (FreeDVDBoot), now is a great time for users new to the scene to get involved; and HWNJ's release has just made everything a whole lot easier for first time users. Also, it is nice to know that once you have installed FunTuna on your PS2, you can easily make a copy from once Memory Card to another, allowing you to share the experience with your friends. You can download your copy today from the link located at the bottom of this article.​

  • 32,168
  • 33
Developer @bucanero who has been quite the active developer in the PS3 Scene in 2020 /19, more on some of his latest progress on this post here with PSL!GHT advancements. but for now lets look at the recently updated utility called to Apollo Save Tool as it matures to version 1.4.0, This is a ps3 homebrew that runs on the console and allows for patching and unlocking game save to use on your games as normally they are locked to a console and are not freely sharable (like in the days of an removable memory card, somehow sony went backwards with saves on the PS3). Therefore this utility can be very convenient especially on many CFW firmware's (& HEN) that may not have the luxury of using something like "Fake Save Data owner" a popular dex feature found in cfw's like REBUG REX, but even those user's will see a ton of use and functionality for this great utility as it packed with various abilities (see changelog/read me tabs for a full rundown).

NOTICE [UPDATE 1] Libretro / RetroArch Targeted in Hacker Attack
  • 18,999
  • 23
In sad news for the hombrew and emulators communities across multiple scenes and platforms, I regret to inform our readers that several days ago Libretro/RetroArch was the victim of a targeted hacker attack. While it seems the end-users are safe from the damage (no cores or installations should be considered dangerous), the same cannot be currently said about the work of the development team behind the great all-on-one emulator we have come to know and love. A sizeable amount of Libretro/RetroArch repositories have been wiped clean, and the development team is working hard to see if Github will be able to help them restore the lost data. The nightly and stable buildbot services have also been crippled, and end-users are not longer able to update or downloads cores, assets, overlays and shaders. The netplay lobby service is also currently not working.​

PS2 [UPDATE-3] Meet "FreeDVDBoot" by @CTurtE - (PARTIAL) First PS2 FAT (PHAT) Model supported!
  • 328,683

We are nearly at the half of this year over but 2020 was an weird year so far, don't you agree? First we lost one of our greatest athletes in Basketball history who was a great father and human as well - shortly after that we are still battling with the worldwide Corona virus outbreak - "and now you tell me that there are still people releasing brand new Exploits for the PS2 released in 2020 ?!?!?!" :) Yeah, you read it correctly. Today well-known Developer @CTurt showcases his newest achievements in "PS2 Hacking". While his previous method saw some critics due to its limitation using the official Sony PS2 YaBasic Interpreter, which was only bundled in very first PS2 Demo Discs released for the PAL region only, Developer @CTurt was so kind to find an even better entry point in launching Homebrew on an unmodified PS2. And guess what, he found a way to achieve exactly that by fully exploiting the DVD Video Player Functionality from a PS2 Console. And it comes even better. Not only you can enjoy all of the old but still good Homebrews and Emulators released back in the old days, this exploit also supports running your legally obtained Backups as well! And all that WITHOUT any need of an modified Memory Card, without any use any old and dirty Swap Magic Trick or to open your PS2 and install an Modchip like many did in the old days? Doesn't sound that cool or what do you think right now when reading this? I kinda mean it when I said that 2020 is a weird year so far. :P
