PSPPSP homebrew developer, Cheater360, passed by our forums recently to tell us about the release of his homebrew application called Multi Password Boot Protector 1.0. So what is this? Well, according to the dev, this app will enable you to turn on your PSP by using a "special memory stick."

A bit lost? Well, this app will let your mem.stick contain as many passwords as you like and they will have to be found by your PSP. Perfect for those who don't want their PSPs to be used without their permission, don't you think?

What happens is once you start your PSP, it will display a custom pic. Apparently, there is no way around this boot protector unless somebody has the same passwords as yours on their memory stick. The passwords will not be located in the files and they are located by folder names says Cheater360. To see an example of the Lua code of the passwords, you can check out the app's readme file that comes with the download.

He continued by saying that  "This is very hard to explain, but once you download it, it will see much easier once you see the system.lua and index.lua files." If you want extra security, there is an optional step to write to the flash, be sure to check out the readme if you want to know more about it.

Another important tidbit that he shared with us is that he only tested this application on 3.03 OE. Got it? With all that said, kudos to Cheater360 for this nifty creation. Please, please browse through the readme file before using it, ok? Download link's down there, have fun!

Being a beta tester, and a friend of cheaters, I believe I have complete authority to say all of this:



You copy the folders over

You can change the image if you wish

You can put the passes on another memory stick

He plans future releases, and has already begun planing

The flash writing is very dangerous, and PLEASE read the readme



If you have further questions, comments, or suggestions, please respond on the release thread either on psp-temple.com or on the qj forums!

why you setting a password? anyone with half a brain will know how to "bypass" your password.



For those without half a brain... You switch the PSP off, then switch it on and hold R to go into the recovery menu. Then go config, and disable "autorun program at...".



There you have it, one bypassed password and memstick check 8-)

» and...

so? I'm installing this so if my psp gets confiscated at school they cant screen it for porn, and seeing as my school head can hardly turn the dam thing on, I doubt he knows how to go into recovery mode and turn this off.
