Fanjita (yes, Fanjita; we'll explain in a bit) and Noobz have just released a Homebrew Enabler (HEN) and downgrader for PSP FW 3.11. This will allow you to run homebrew and downgraders on FW 3.11 by using the US or European version of Lumines. Of course, this is if you're still trapped by FW v3.11.

Anyways, the team thanks Dark AleX because this certain release is based off of the source code for his HEN 2.71. Instructions and other relevant notes about running homebrew are found in the README. Make sure you follow the procedures to the dot. But Fanjita reassures us in the readme:

Note: this program writes some small files in the flash, ONLY the first time is executed. It does NOT rewrite any existing file in the system, it writes new files, so the probabilities of bricking are practically null.

Now, what's probably in all your minds right now is: "Isn't Fanjita supposed to be 'retired'?" Well, we were personally able to ask him that exact same question. Here was his reply:

Yeah. [I'm just] tidying up loose ends. This was promised ages ago.

So there you have it. Fanjita is retired, ok? He's just being kind to fulfill promises that he's made before. Glad to know! Never make a promise you can't keep, right? We're not sure though if this is the last of his "tidying up loose ends" releases. Maybe it's the first of a couple more "last minutes" before he finally assumes his fatherly role. If anything, this release might not be anything major, however, this is a friendly sign of Fanjita's continued commitment right down to the very end.
