The 1.0 version firmware ALLOWS us to run homebrew apps. It's the 1.5 that does not.
Reason as I understand is this:
In order for an executable file to be ran, it needs to be digitally signed. The 1.0 version did not check this, so all you had to do was just make an executable then run it. With 1.5, it checks to make sure that it is signed, and when these homebrew's dont have a signature, it does not allow the app to run.
If I am wrong, please correct me, but that is what I believe to be true. |

| Heh, after I had posted it I thought of that... If you look in THIS thread, you can see they are looking at a way to change the firmware at a much deeper hardware level than a software level. |
