Fluff from our forums has announced the availability of updated versions of his Psix homebrew shell application for the PSP. Many of you would have used the latest public version of his psix shell back in April, and users who bought a subscription to psix could receive beta updates and releases first. Now, Fluff has announced that under the new name of psix Exis, everything will be free! Here's what fluff said:

"Well, the first big change is that all psix versions, including betas are free to access, meaning you no longer need to sign up to access beta builds, however current members will still receive priority support and be able to influence the changes/path psix takes. Before people rise up and flame, membership sign up is not possible, so the current members will be the only members with such access."

Fluff has also said that the next release of psix Exis will contain backup UMD loading support for UMD games that require up to firmware 2.6, and audio player with fully functional playlists and save/load playlist functionality. Also, the new psix forums are now up and running which anybody can access without buying membership!
