that sucks for 2.7

thats what you get for upgrading if you did

2.7

He forgot to put " 2.7 blows! " I have 2 PSP's and trust me 2.7 is not worth the upgrade yet.

i upgraded on purpose. homebrew was getting old again. besides, the fact of there being flash is (much easier) better for exploits.

Hm...

Once again Sony have disappoint me.. :( I HATE U SONY!

PSP 2.7 in video

I am so pissed @ Sony for this, but they aren't stupid. I still love my homebrew on 2.6 and don't plan to update. Good luck with your next exploit guys. I thought you might want to see 2.7, I don't know if its actually real. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmXVYEVXYyQ Thanks for the 2.6 GTA exploit, bye.

Lightning fast browser

The faster browser MORE than makes up for the poor flash though...

ISO loader

I thought Fanjita was going to work on a piracy-proof ISO loader for 2.0+? I remember this was posted on his site a long time ago

Bleh.

I didn't care, I updated. I'm also glad I updated, my PSP seems faster with 2.7 then it did with 2.6. I also don't plan on using any homebrew methods that require me to purchase a $50 game that I have absolutley no intrest in playing and despise in the first place for ever being developed.

less than jake fan

the font hack works after upgrade this could be the 2.70 exploit

wow

i believe in you ditlew and fanjita you guys can crack f/w 2.7

hm

Hahaha... the poor kid upgraded and whines because no one wants to support him. We're well past the age where people can "OMG, I accidentally upgraded, what should I do?" It's been many, many months and upgrades now. If you haven't figured it out yet, you deserve the upgrade you got.

.

Meh.

Seriously

I personaly don't believe that Fanjita or anyone should make a exploit for this new firmware. Simply because it takes so much time to create and develope a new exploit and its just not worth it for this firmware. I would personaly wait to see what firmware is out when the psone emulator comes out. Besides if their is a new exploit in this firmware then its best keep it a secret so it can be used when future firmwares comes out with better stuff.

yep

wat ive said look now upgraders an iso is in the works for 2.0+

donation?

how bout if we donate money... so they could buy a new psp and upgrade it to 2.7 then they could do all the test on that...

crap im stupid

can anyone tell me how to put flash games on my memstick for 2.70 fw. it would probalny help many other people that have this firmware.

21

hahaha ok i humor you. "I hate you fanjita, I hate you sony, you all suck!" happy now? now shut up!!!

Fanjita, for goodness sakes, take the day off.

At the end of the day, if we didn't upgrade, guess what? E-loader still works like a charm! So why, after all the warnings, after all the past firmware problems, did people upgrade and whine about no homebrew? And why on earth would we ask him to do something he's already done? (Fix our mistakes of upgrading) Not to mention *flame him*?! That's like flaming a guy that walks up to your door, hands you $1000, and walks away asking for nothing. Real smart. Fanjita et al, throw back a few pints, and know that the rational people on this site expect nothing more from you. Of course if you can figure out a way to get the PSP to like... free Tibet, or like... Solve the problems in the Middle East... or maybe strip coaxial cable for us... I'm sure that would be appreciated ;) Own: One Fanjita PSP Wish List: Two Fanjita PSP's

what is with Sony?

If sony knows about these exploits, they must read message boards, right? Well, then shouldn't they see how much people care about homebrew too? Why does Sony so intent on f**king over its consumers? And if allowing homebrew could stimualte sales, WHY DONT THEY ALLOW IT? The PSP sales could be so much better if they would just come out of their "we hate homebrew" state of mind. So Sony, do you enjoy watching the DS continuously wiping the floor in sales? DO you actually want the PSP to fade into obscurity? Do you like having a large portion of your consumers that shelled out $250+ for your system HATE YOU???? If not, then I and the rest of the PSP community advise you allow homebrew. If you dont, the PSP is going to bomb BADLY, and your reputation will be marred by it.

OMG! OMG! OMG! LOOK AT ME!!

LOOK I GOT 27TH POST OMG OMG!!! Serisouly, please delete all posts which say "first post". This is getting ridiculous.

iso

rofl I started laughing when I read "There's no truth in the rumour that v2.7 has made Fanjita and his team angry, and that they are going to work on an ISO loader as revenge." That will teach Sony not to mess with him!

I GOT X-POST!

Yep, those "first post", "fifth post" posts are getting annoying. How about people get IP bans for them? xD

...

The "stop saying you got first post" posts are even MORE annoying. Shut the **** up.

remove bs comments plz

or they gonna hurt somebody so much fI_Ick you ,idiots ; I would ban all of those IPs if I have the power LOL :D

Works On 2.6?

Does this new firmware upgrade work on 2.6?

Guest Comments

i think the admin should remove the privilage of guests writing comments

Fanjita

So what if im gay? Your a cellphone

You must be forgetting.......

Soon all new UMD's will require 2.7 firmware to run and Sony are not going to make the same mistakes that allowed 2.0-2.5/2.6 games to be exploited and run under 1.5 firmware.

Nice Try...

You guys are stupid to have updated in the first place, but then again, they're just simple ROMS for the GBC or SNES... You would have to have a 1.5, *LIKE ME HAHAHA LOSERS*, to enjoy such great things as ISOs, Extended SNES emus (ME, anyone?,) and I can even play UMDs for higher firmwares if I feel so inclined! I win at the end of the day, guys, enjoy legal games for the next few months until the next update!!! HAHA

Good Job

Good job Fanjita!!! Stupid Sony

hmm

they should make it so that you need to register to post something here.

goodjob psp updates

LOL anonymous coward my *$$ you just added that iso oloader as revenge just to draw some attention LOL gj PSP updates, cause you got my attention. but now that is said everyone don't go crazy over the iso loader rumor. if one comes out good just don't nag fanjita about stupid things like when are we gonna get homebrew blah blah blah. alright? also, how are those ds flash carts these days i may just go back to ds now. if nothing new shows up.

REVENGE ON $$ONY

Someone, I dont care who it is, Fanjita, Ditlew, Humma Kavula (come back kid we need your help) should absolutly create an ISO loader as revenge on $ONY. This is complete Bull S_it! I promise you I'll never buy a PSP game again and im glad your F'ing UMD's have flopped. Im downloading some CD's and ISO's off a torrent right now $ONY, screw you and your "security".

we still believe in you Fanjita. keep trying ur best!!

Come on Guys

You bought the PSP you asked for games Sony wants you to play those games you asked for so they need you not to play games htat arent theirs so they have money to make a better PSP that fixes the problems this one has Its your choice to update THose who did, Im sure you had a reason Those who didnt Im sure you also had a reason But DONT EVER insult People who spend their free time to use and exploit loops in the firmware for you because you dont want to pick up a damn book and learn how. THey have done great things that most of you dont even know waht they did so give Fanjita, Ditlew, and Sony a break Sony just wants a profit so they dont loose money, thus ending up like SEGA. And If Sony ends up like SEGA, and drops thier hardware, guess what WE are all stuck with PSP and PS2 and PS3 that, updated or not, arent getting any new games and to tell you the truth, as much of a blessing Homebrews, Fanjita, Ditlew and their works are, Id much rather own a console that is still being developed on then one that Id have to depend on two people to let me play games I can play for real either on the orignial console or my PC

Thanks Fanjita!

*deletes Loco Roco demo off hard drive*

#43

#43.... You have the right idea....

go fanjita ***** you sony

thanks fanjita for creating the eloader for 2.6(which i have) and those who are mad for updating and are *****ing about it can suck my balls(no homo) also sony sucks gigantic gorilla nuts

new psp

Well look like I better save up to get a new PSP because I still want e-loader and CheatDevice but I also want 2.70+

Homebrew for PSP

Has anyone thought about this? We can actually cooperate with $ony on this. They can have a homebrew programme. Where you submit your code to them to be signed, if it's ok with them (that means no ISO loaders and stuff), they sign it and you can release it. This is a win-win for both us and $ony. For $ony, the PSP gets a whole lots more applications, while we get homebrew. Of course some people is going to argue that allowing this might decrease sales of games. Well they can always refuse to sign emulators and homebrew games while allowing programs like book3r.

Sigh...

The people who upgraded should live with there mistakes. And the people who are bashing... You need to think about what Fanjita and Ditlew doing. How hard it is to break Sony's security. He is doing it for free as well. They could stop at any time if they pleased. I'm thinking that they should take a break for a mounth or two or however long they please. That, or not release it to the public for a bit of time. So ask your selfs this: Can you hack the PSP's security? And if you could, would you give it out for free? I'm thinking not.

Whoops!

Forgot to sign. -SUPER SONIC 128

Definitely!

Post 19 hit the nail on the head.

Just curious....

Sorry, this is kind of a stupid question, but I'm curious. Would any of the downgraders that are out there now work on 2.7?

i like #48

#48 makes a good point why not have sony approve of applications before hand so it is a win-win situation. We get homebrew and they get sky rocketing sales. I like this idea but sony would have to do a lot of tests of the homebrew cuz it would look bad if the homebrew they approved didnt work right. Also they should come out with there own programs like a remote or sumthing

pleased

if they 'pleased' they wouldnt have ever started. no one is holding a gun to their heads, and where the fuc.k do u get off assigning them a vacation?

anyone ever try this

wasnt the origonal idea for eboots based off of the actual updates, so wouldnt it be possible to work on getting the "update" of 1.5 working or is there that whole no writing to flash thing still goin on. (thinking aloud)

Why can we not get the

"The only way to run homebrew in the same way is to get Sony's encryption key and sign the homebrew. This is impossible. " - fanjita Why can we not get the encryption key? Can you explain a theoretical encryption key that would work well for this type of application? Thanks, Jimbo

Here we go again

Every single time... New updates. New retards making stupid comments. Then there's the war that broke out between the two sides... Then the topic gets old... then everyone forgets about it.... Then the new firmware gets released.... rinse and repeat. Except maybe with every recursion, we may lose some homebrew dev thanks to the retards.

Sony accept homebrew? yah right.

half the games are roms, or ports, not likely. The original apps/games are awesome, but could you see sony actually creating an entire new department of legal, coders, PR, and distribution for it? doubtful

ff

i dont know if anyone already knew this. but final fantasy advent children requires and update. i have a 1.5 psp and it wont let me play it. all it says is "to play, you must update your system software"

re

sony outsmarted fanjita, didnt fanjita claim with all his knwoledge that there really is no way sony will stop the gta exploit like a month back? saying that they would have to change the way games save and other things?

Beginner's Experiment

Eh, this doesn't have to do with 2.7 really... Anyway, I loaded up the 2.0 Japanese update through PSP Cheat Hacker, and dumped the memory after all was initiated. I then compared the data to the unencrypted Japanese DATA.PSP file I had in a rar named "WAB_decrypted_UPDATER_US_&_JAP_2.0.rar". Structure was very much the same, but there were big chunks of differences in the beginning and the end. In the beginning, an ELF header was missing from my memory dump, probably 'coz the psp already used it and didn't need it?? And there was a nice block of data below the bottom of what was the end of the normal decrypted data.psp from that rar. So I tried inserting that ELF header from the normal decrypted data.psp and rebuilding the boot.pbp, but got the 80020001 error after a lot of black screen. I'm wondering if the data.psp has to be re-encrypted, but I have no idea on how that would be done. -_- Since I have nowhere to post these types of files, it'll be on the edk network as "rd's_psp_2.0_JP_UpdateExperiments.rar"

Er, explanation of Beginner's Experiment

Doh, forgot to say, the idea behind my small experiment, was to see if the "signed app" key could be figured out by looking in the psp's running memory. I tried to run the LocoRoco demo to compare, but since it's 2.7+, it wasn't decrypted into memory and I just got an exact copy of the eboot.pbp in memory as a result.

this 2.7 fw. is very deep in sony's ***! when you load eloader or cheatdevice, psp scream: savedata corrupted, so fanjita and ditlew (& E.C. of course) maybe can hack new photosupport in music dir. MAYBE tiff photos be added to here.. good luck..

i have 2.7 fw..

Ok My Verdict...

...By Andrew Briggs Having 3 PSP's I have managed to sort them into order for example PSP 1 is my normal PSP that plays all games and has the latest upgrades, PSP 2 has all my homebrew software on and a 2GB card as standard and PSP 3 is my PSP that i am hacking myself atm. PSP 1 has had the new update 2.7 and I have to say it really is not worth getting so dont bother. Fanjita has done a good job with his ebooters etc so the more he does the better and its bad that some people are even slagging him off for using his spare time to make us gamers happy. I am going to work on this 2.7 trying to look for loopholes in the software too and hopefully if i find any they will be posted straight to fanjita for testing. All I will say is that there IS a loophole within the Music section of your memory stick however I am trying to code this at this very minute and its getting difficult haha. Take care everybody...

thay should take a break

fanjita and ditlew should take a break til 3.0 find bugs then cuz its not worth finding a good bug for such a crappy update

Good Idea...

...By Andrew Briggs I never thought of that actually cuz this is just a lil taster of 3.0 really. Ill carry on this coding anyway nether or less but perhap fanjita should just carry on entertaining 2.7- users Excellent Comment above :D

the internet is too easy to use

This is what happens when you make the internet easy-to-use. Dumbass comments from folks with an IQ equivalent to a tennis ball. Honestly, we need to take it back to the early 90s where you actually had to KNOW something about computers to use the internet (DARPAnet).

hmmmm Comment Above...

...By Andrew Briggs Ok lets say that comment was aimed at me. thats understandable but I have done my programming courses and passed A*. It takes quite alot of knowledge to code the PSP you know. Fanjita's certently sorted the PSP out and Edison Carter!!! Brilliant. Just thought id mention that another version of Edison Carters GTA Exploit has been released. v1.0c: Heavy cars Automatically flip over

Sup #26

"Well, then shouldn't they see how much people care about homebrew too? Why does Sony so intent on f**king over its consumers?" Care about Homebrew or Emulators? Because that's what a majority of the post that goes around these message boards. "LOLZ, WHY UPGRADE FOR ONE GAME WHEN I CAN PLAY ALOT OF GAMES FOR ALOT CHEAPERZ, AM I RITE OR WUT?" "Do you like having a large portion of your consumers that shelled out $250+ for your system HATE YOU????" Please, you guys are a small minority. I know plenty of people who own one and have no idea what a 1.5 or 2.0 firmware could do. The truth of the matter is, everyone who visits the site hates Sony because they won't allow anybody to play old games. Sony can't just allow that you see, it conflicts with you know, certain others. Do you think Nintendo would be fond at the fact that a Sony based hardware can play NES, SNES, Gameboy, and Gameboy Color games? Especially with the Revolution having backward capability. Of course not. Now I know there are a few people out there do do indeed enjoy the actual homebrew stuff like Beats of Rage or Rrootage, but they are really the minority compared to you guys who bash Sony for upgrades that halt your precious emulators. Why the hell are you guys pissed in the first place anyways? If you bought a PSP for emulation only, then you probably won't upgrade in the first place. What? You want browser support? You want to play the new games? To bad, either upgrade to have those features, or shut the hell up. The only ones here crippling their PSPs here are you guys because you refuse to upgrade. As for all the insults and people shrugging off 2.7 as not worth the wait, really just be quiet. Some of us upgraded with various reasons. Some people, like myself, were just tired of playing old games. Some people, like myself again, wanted to play the new good games coming out that required higher firmware (Maverick Hunter X is awesome.). Some of us wanted the new stuff Sony added to the PSP like the RSS, Web Browser, and ACC support. The current Flash player may not be all that great, but hell look at the web browser. The latest update improved that, and I'm sure Sony will eventually work on getting that up to date after people complaining. So in the end, this is not Sony's fault that you've decided to cripple your PSP. It's pretty much yours. They're just trying to protect their hardware from failing, because if they allow this kind of homebrew, the emulators and such, to continue and this information spreads, will people really buy 40$+ games when they can get a bunch of SEGA and SNES stuff for free? Of course not, because they're cheap idiots. Don't hate Sony yo. After all, they developed that stupid little black thing you have in your hand in the first place that you both hate and love at the same time. If you wanted homebrew, you should of gotten a GP32

I have to say something!

Fanjita and all others, Thank you for what you have done, to let me have fun, I have a bicg |

re

"Please, you guys are a small minority. I know plenty of people who own one and have no idea what a 1.5 or 2.0 firmware could do." if were a small minority why does sony care so much to stop us? I mean its not like we are using iso loaders. This will cause sony to lose money casue this small minority will not upgrade, and wont be able to buy any umd games even if we wanted to becasue fo the restrictions./

Sony Sony...

This is the last buy to SONY. ***** them...

LocoRoco, LocoRoco, LocoRoco, LocoRoco

No Reason to upgrade ?? Homebrew is over rated, Play LocoRoco, it's all you need.

Demo vs. Homebrew

Trade homebrew for a DEMO I don't think so!!!!!!!!!!!!! That one demo will get boring fast!!!! But new homebrew comes out almost everyday!!!!!!! Have fun keeping up on the lastest loco roco scene!!!!!!

Dude

i got the new firmare yesterday and its not all that good , the only good thing about it is the flash player anyway your homebrew thing still works with gta eloader for me any way if anyone wants the firmware email me and then ill send it to u u have to put the folder in your psp game folder benpaulsenuk@hotmail.com

Ha.

Simple just dont upgrade if u stll want Homebrew. If u wanna play the latest PSP games then upgrade. I`m gunna stick with my 2.01. ;)

Not upgrading firmware anytime soon

I still have version 2.0 on my PSP and I will not upgrade to the new firmware anytime soon, PSP Radio is too great of a homebrew program to give up. Also, Once again, Sony failed to implement features that would make the PSP connect to streaming audio online, This so called RSS feature really is nothing but to download mp3 files and such from it. What need to concentrate on is adding a streaming audio feature.

2.0

Tigerclaw I'm with you, I'm sticking with 2.0 with a great chance of downgrading when I feel like it :)

re

benpaulsenuk@hotmail.com why dont you upload the file on rapidshare and make a news article here for ppl to download it.

"There's no truth in the rumour that v2.7 has made Fanjita and his team angry, and that they are going to work on an ISO loader as revenge" Go go Fanjita, Tell them that they should care about custumers and not them self

jgandmwtptkgjadm

locoroco is THE most f****ed up game ive ever played ... yet I cant stop playing it . imtypin this from my 2.7 PSP lol

If only

If onyl Fanjita would have wait til 3.00 to reveal the GTA exploit than we would have better UMD games! FANJITA IS STUPID

How about this sugestion

How about we make a prize to the guy who breaks the 2.7 and make it be able to run homebrew? What do you think? We can create a site, make a fund, and collect money the first guy who breaks it and proove it, gets the jack pot? imagine: "10 grand for the lucky hacker" is that a real kick or what? What do you think guys? I personally would donate a lot of money to this purpose _LF_

SWAP MAGIC TRICK HOMBREW

what about swap magic style trick thats been used for ps2 to play back up games. They can be a future way to play hombrews on psp. There must be a way like that, and the best thing is that sony can't do anything with that, just like on the ps2. It's just a thought, but a good possible way to play hombrews while getting the latest upgrades.

upgrading is inevitable

Half of the people in here probably never even grew up with nes, sens or even genesis and the Turbo Graphx, but yet everyone is so against upgrading their firmware to lose all those precious old school games. I did live, eat, sleep and breathe those games when I was younger. I did buy a 1.0 psp in hopes that emulation would happen, but I also got a psp for "PSP GAMES" Yes they have sucked this past year but there are some kick ass games coming out now and by the end of the year. It's going to be inevitable to have to upgrade. I hope someone finds a way to crack new firmware when it comes out, but I'm done fighting it. I don't regret upgrading and the faster web browser is awesome. The Loco Roco demo is amazingly addictive and upgrading for that game is well worth it. Besides... the new Ghouls n Ghosts game is going to require 2.7 as well and I'm all over that game.

Fanjita..wh ydid you say that word

Fanjita SHOULD HAD NEVER SAID THE WORD: "IMPOSSIBLE". That word is strictly forbidden in the world of homebrew and im really sad for him..

cool....umd swap magic idea

87> has a pointed out a nice idea. Maybe we can have something like swap magic with umd. You could possibly launch the umd making the psp think its a real movie or a game, and then you can boot up hombrew applications. Thats the only possibility i think we can have to keep homebrew alive through latest firmwares. If we were able to do something like that, we would have won sony in the battle for hombrew.

You people are really a loser

Are you people dumb,who cares about Fanjita and the other crack head.If you hate Sony so much,throw away your 1.5 crappy psp away because you should make your own downgrader and get over."hail to Fanjita the god",i cant believe anyone would say.Are you drunk or something

how to kill sony

if you really didn't like sony all you'd have to do is buy loads and loads of psps... cos they don't exactly make money on them it's been said a million times, upgrade or not, it's your call. i'm sticking like glue ot my v1.5, it has sexypsf... 'nuf said. but! there may be an exploit out there, who knows? i like the idea of a donation thingy, i would put in a small amount (so that if it was a scam i woudlnt feel too unhappy) my main issue is that from 2.0 up there isn't kernel access (is that what it's called?)... and until somehow someone makes it happen that 2.0+ are as functional as 1.5 i'm not budging. but that's my 2 cents, take it or leave it. legal reasons stop sony from endorsing most homebrew. also, they make firmware updates so that they can boast that psp has more and more bits and bobs and if they fix a small hole in their security at the same time they save x amount of dollar... simple really, it's not to spite us, it's to lure in the almighty dollar

I'm still upgrading..

Why? Because all the homebrew is w*nk. The only good one is Doom, and I can play that on my PC anytime.

@80......

On 2.6 there IS a streaming rss audio feature. In 2.7 they just added the ability to save it too.

HB

If people would get off there lazy butts and start trying to crack it (yea FANJITA Im talkin to you) then it would be cracked. I think we should all spam Sony by sending then loads and loads of messages asking for a firmware with no homebrew limits. Obviously they listened when we did it for flash they may listen if we do it for homebrew. If Sony can get there stuff working on here (Loco Roco) then so can we. We shouldnt be fighting with others here about our mistakes updating to this firmware 2.70 we should team up and fight with our one true enemy Sony.

Not gonna UPGRADe in a while

Won't Upgrade until Fanjita designs a new crack for 2.7 (Hearing that Flash mighthave a hole!) Plus, Is there an Upgraders anoymous!(I CANT HESITATE THE NEW VERSION!)

Good idea

#95. That's a really good idea. I think I'll get out of my sick bed, stop being lazy and drop everything else in my life so I can attempt to bring homebrew to those idiots who were too impatient to listen to the warnings and wait before they updated. Alternatively, I could take a well-earned rest, and do things for myself for a change. You know, when you put it like that, the choice is obvious. If you want homebrew on 2.7, go find us an exploit to work with. If you're not capable of that, then either learn, or shut up and put up.

To FANJITA

that's right, screw the haters. Your work let's me play Quake, Doom, Duke Nukem, SNES, Genesis, PC Engine, rRootage, Chess, 2 Different Drum Machines, AND NeoGeo AND more on the go! I love you for the work you have done! Get well soon!! I want your to have your BABIES!!!* (* but I am an unattractive 30 year old man, so you're on your own dude :)

hahaha...

every time i hear about this crap it makes me glad i bought a 1.5 psp and one i can upgrade forever. keep tossing those updates at me sony, if i want to play homebrew i can... FOREVER

re

would be agreeing with this, but I bought a PSP because A- I had the money B- I wanted somthing to play some roms on C- Wipeout Pure on the go I got C easy, as I love the game...but B? See, I didn't know about this whole firmware game, until after I opened the PSP and had spent like 6 hours with Wipeout. Highly annoyed that the next day I had to buy GTA:LCS just to play roms of games, I had already paid out my ass for back in the 8-16bit gaming era. More so annoyed, that I play these games more then games made for the PSP. o branch out, and get the hell away from the reh But most of all, the absolute worst is Sony claims they are trying to stop the homebrew scene, to stop piracy. Gimme a ****ing break already. If Sony kills the ability to do it through loaders and game expoits, do they honestly belive mod chips won't allow for this as well? I'm not hardcore enough to consider modding my PSP, so in turn day by day, as nothing really good gets released, and I look at the receipts for money spent on this thing, I hold out a bit of anger towards Sony, for failing me on a few ends. I want 2D or 3D games, that harken back to the old days, like the GBA was able to bring about, and even still, people can claim "this is the new gaming era" but GBA was 32bit, and basically had the equivilant of SNES titles on it....and it worked very well.

re

Sony's problem is that from the time they started, they wanted to annex themselves from the market that Nintendo had a firm grasp on, mainly by having portable games that looked 10 times better then anything else on a handheld, and for it to have a more mature edge. The problem with this choice was, while GTA would be a great game...not many others would. You see, Sony still doesn't grasp that a game doesn't need to be cutting edge or a visual masterpeice...no, it just needs to be fun...and I stress the final point- IT NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED FOR PORTABLE PLAY. Beyond all this though? PSP needs to be a bit more user friendly. Seriously, try to just upload a video clip to your PSP without reading how to do it on some message board that is hidden away from the newbie who just spent 200 dollars. Even more so, try explaining to said newbie about firmware, updates, wifi, and so on. It's an more adult handheld, but in annexing the more friendly market Nintendo used to make near millions, Sony is screwing themselves over ten fold. Sony should also take more chances, for example. Tokimeki Memorial is a top seller in Japan. The premise? Japanese dating sim. For the longest time, people ranted and sent petitions to Konami and Sony to release it in the US. What did they do?

WOOT

Fanjita, you're the top dog. WOFF WOFF. Thx for the good work you've put in, and all the other homebrew makers. THX!! c",) Iwas one of the stupid ones, upgraded, and regretting it. Did it early in the morning, before any posts were around on any sites about savedata patch thingy.... Anyways, gonna buy me a new PSP sob, gonna check every store in town for a 2.0 or less, if not, ill buy a 2.01 and use the great gta exploit as before. Fanjita, get better, dont let these haters get to you. And good luck with 2.7 exploit, if you bother. (can understand if you dont wanna)

Possible Exploit?

"LocoRoco is an encrypted, signed EBOOT" Well, the encryption key has to be in the PSP itself, and maybe in versions as low as 1.50. Using 1.50 (or a TIFF exploit in 2.00) it may be possible to retrive the encryption key, and with it: 1. 2.70 Homebrew 2. 2.01+ Homebrew (without GTA) 3. Downgrader? _______ I have no programming ability, but this is perhaps a good way to start. "This is impossible" It's not. It's just hard.

SECOND COMMENT

I have to say up until this point in time I have every ISO I could possibly want for PSP. I know 2.7 may not be cracked now and the games coming out may not work on 1.5 but give it time. I thought I would never be playing GTA or SOCOM on my 1.5 PSP but somehow I am and even games that are supposedly only 2.5 or 2.6 comp are cracked and working on PSP. So I ask you all "Why worry?" Just sit tight, hold on and be patient. I have nothing but love, respect, and patience towards all the devs and the community...

This will probably shock the hell out of anyone who is buying new generation consoles, but the PSP is my last ride. Basically, Nintendo has, and to me, will forever rule the handheld market, but what of Sony? Some of the reasoning behind buying a PSP, was to get up close and personal with, a handheld I very much called a POS...that was, till I got to play with one, on my own time. Hardly a POS, but as a final test to my history of gaming, and the rise and fall of many consoles and handhelds, I'm going to stick it out with the PSP, and should Sony fail to deliver, I was there. Should they pull off serious magic...again, I'm there to witness it. This is pretty much the same as it was for me with Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube. All three pretty much failed to really capture my mind like the older consoles, but they tried. Each had a good sum of games that were pretty much fun to play, but beyond that? It's all the same thing after a while. It's the same as sitting down and asking yourself "what does PS2 do that the Dreamcast didn't?" Leave out the graphics, and what do you have? The same core gameplay, be it fun or not. It also hits home that this cycle of the console generation has actually done some reverting back in time, to when the 3DO and it's kin were launched. Anywhere from 500-700 dollars on launch. Sure, they looked great, and were bleeding edge technology, but they were far ahead of their time, and as such, developers couldn't make games that worked to push the things for all they were worth. I look at the PS3, Xbox360, and Nintendo Revolution the same as people did when the CDI, 3DO, and Jaguar, Sega CD, Turbo Graphic 16, and NeoGeo came out...and having owned ALL of those, I simply refuse to go through another 2-3 thousand on gaming again.

DAMN STFU

ookay first off...FANJITA DITLEW AND EVREYONE ELSE MAKING HOMEBREW FOR THE PSP...THANK YOU! anyways,im getting annnoyed by reading some of your comments. all you people B***Hing about not having homebrew on 2. whatever, or mad at sony because they keep making updates. all of you need to do some thinking REALLY! I mean evreyone has a choice to update or not! if you updated GOOD thats YOUR CHOICE! no one put a freaking GUN to your head and said UPDATE OR ILL KILL YOU! NO, no one said to just use homebreew and not play any new games that come out! you can choose whatever you want to do, just please do not bash other people that are doing things for US for free! all these people that are taking the time and effort out of their probably BUSY schedule to make homebrew for YOU, they dont ask for money ( most of them anyways) they simply want to make something that you might enjoy. i mean HALF of you people dont even contribute to the "psp community"...will you take the time to write and make a program for free and release it to people? NO i think NOT! so if you use homebrew and LOVE IT THEN GOOD if not the also good, but whatever you do dont talk SH*t to people that are doing this for OTHER PEOPLE! they are doing this ***** for ALL OF US wheather you like it or not!
