now all we have to do is wait for sony to release 3.04. then someone will decrypt it, then they will release 3.05. when will sony learn? just support homebrew on the psp. just block iso's if u dont want us pirating games

Yippeee! This is great news... only because SONY will be forced to release another firmware upgrade.. but maybe 3.xx will have actual features in it as opposed to just "security revisions..."

Wow, with recent posts pspfanboy web site has become an official advocate of piracy. Well at least there is less crap about "poor homebrewers who just want to make things on PSP".

Homebrew is all about stealing games and that is the only reason why these guys are cracking PSP. Do you really think that Alex dude spending all this time just so that some kid can write another crappy pac-man game? And that hurts PSP and i wish this web site at least stopped gloating over every time PSP hacked.

This does post tacitly supports piracy.
Why did Killbloggers get a -1 star for saying the truth.

I have no problem about the newsworthiness of the post, just the tone.
I take issue with multiple posts pretending that decrypting these firmwares have any purpose other than playing pirated games. The majority of the homebrew scene is geared towards piracy. Stop sugar coating these posts as being a benefit to legitimate homebrewers.

And by the way, Andrew, I generally enjoy your writing -- call this constructive criticism, nothing personal.

Yeah does that mean they might release a psp firmware 3.03 downgrader soon. It would be perfect for me because i need it

u should make a new up grade like a 3.05 or a 4.0 that will let u put a lock code on any file like images, video but make the code be the code that we use to turn on are internet on the psp, please make it today or very soon.

heres a scarry look into the future, when sony gives up on security for firmware for the psp, and decides to crate the psp2 with appeal to the public, stronger hard ware; etc... and comes shipped with firmware non compatable to the first psp with no real security holes :O scarry day scarry day, but then again, i remember when 2.50 was uncrackable and nothing could ever beat it, it would just probably be hacked and downgraded, so bring it on sony

why do sony keep on trying. the firmware will always be hacked. why dont they just stop

Reply

lmao, why don't they stop? You eat a lot of mushrooms, boy? That's like saying.. lets get rid of all the cops, because people still murder, rob and rape others. It's pointless right? I mean, If I went to your house and took all your stuff, the next time you'd buy a stronger lock, but lets say I robbed you again, then you'd probably set up a security system, but lets say i robbed you again, then you'd probably stand by your door with a shot gun

I'm sick of hearing "They only crack it to steal games" because that's a total load. There are a ton of decent and LEGAL homebrew apps out there that can't even be used, some of my favorites being universal remotes. My friends that have an Xbox 360 used to get so pissed off when their rig started freaking out and they couldn't figure it out because I appeared to just be playing a game. But seriously, that's a damned useful application, control everything from your psp. Not to mention those that let you use it as a PDA as well. So the majority DO decide to take the dishonest course and steal games. People also mod chip PS2s, Sony can't really stop that. They also download movies on the internet. Sony can certainly try to stop that, but they can't. Just like a guy who points a gun at a store clerk to steal money, instead of using it to hunt food or just recreational purposes. Or a guy who uses a hacksaw to cut a bike chain instead of build something. It's just symbolic of human nature, we can use any tools for good or for bad, it's up to us. More people would rather get free games than expand the limitless potential functionality of this awesome machine. That's no reason to take the hammer from the carpenter because you THINK he'll use it to hurt someone instead of build a house.
