Protect-me from MaxtheBest - Image 1

Developer MaxTheBest's homebrew application Protect-Me has always been about passwords and your Sony PlayStation Portable's security. After last build's covert-display feature, the homebrew Protect-Me has been upgraded to Final Revision version 0.9g.

What are the changes this time? Dev MaxTheBest has added credits and a means to make your Sony PSP unbootable from the XMB when confronted with wrong passwords. For those Sony PSP thefts (provided they don't know your password), all they will see from the screen is the phrase "this PSP received a bad password input on XXX."

What happens if you forget your own password? Will you not be able to access your PSP? No, don't be scared. Coder MaxTheBest says there will be a way to recover it. We won't say it here though because the purpose of the homebrew will be lost. Contact developer MaxTheBest from the via link below for your inquiries.

For the detailed logs of changes since the first build and a step-by-step guide on how to install this homebrew, check the attached readme from the file download.

Stop releasing version

Max needs to quit releasing versions until he figures out how to install to internal flash. You can bypass this 2 ways: 1) Hold down right button to enter M33 Menu and disable the plugin 2) Remove the memory card, boot up the PSP and then re-insert the memory card once you are in the XMB This is stupid and a false sense of security for stupid people... you need to quit releasing versions until it is actually viable security on internal memory... you are making people think this is useful.

hellcat

is you use hellcats pandora installer, your psp wont start unless the properly prepared MS is inserted as long as your battery is still inside the psp. but I can't say anything against the recovery disable but how many knowledgeable ppl out there steal psp's?
