First Post

suppose it does work and everything goes as its suppose to go, how could you trace the ip address to his real address?

cool btw if the thief has a firewall or autorun disabled its useless

my psp was stolen from my backpack wen i wuz at school and i had the v.3 loaded on and then i lost hope after all teahers said i shoodnt have had it and they woodnt help me find it...so anyway i got home and went on aim then it said i had 1 new email so i clicked it and logged into my aim email and then it gave me an IP address and a XXXXXX@cox.net email i noticed that XXXXXX was a kid from schools last name so i sent an email to that address and his dad responded i asked if he had found a psp and he said his son had found it on the fround...i said...uhh well its mine...he asked me how i knew he had the psp...i told him then I gave him my address and he drove it over to me!!!! This app saved my psp!! THX U REALN0WHEREMAN! U SAVED MY PSP





IM DEF UPDATING...AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK U WILL SAVE MANY PSPs!

Disabling autorun disables the attempt. I disable my autorun as its annoying and dangerous (you know how you pop in a cd and it runs the sofware or scans files and asks you for an action when plugging in ANY storage device?). All you have to do is search google for how. Tweak-XP can do this, I just use gpedit.msc (group policy editor) since I have XP Professional. I recommend it.

While all of these things are true, the average PSP thief probably won't know about all of these things. One probably wouldn't think to turn it on and check to see if it had this program or disable their internet connection.

i have one pretty much made but i cant compile it. ill wait till i get a mac so that i can compile it to make it work :)

Yeah thats true that someone would plug in the usb to formate the memory stick but what if someone just formates it on the psp it's self from the system menue...what then. From what I understand you don't need a PC to format it like that. but like striker1211 said a custom firmware password would be great. Even better if it inculded the Anti Theft system so it's all in the psp's firmware so even if the supposed thief reformats the memory stick or disconects his internet the system would always work. In theory he would have to keep disconecting his computer everytime he hooks up his psp to it since he wouldn't be able to remove it from the flash with out the firmware password. and the only other way to remove it would be through darkalex's special downgrader since it use's the custom firmware which can't be overwriten by a normal sony update since DarkAlex has removed that ability in the custom firmware. Now that would be a total fool proof ANTI THEFT SYSTEM. I just hope that Bawls take's that into consideration on his next update.

I tried to plug in my psp after I put on the app but I says cannot find autorun.bat and I cant see my files
