This is why I don't complain about a possible PSP-3000 coming up since I just got a slim, because I know for sure mine works with homebrew ;)

Hmm...It seems there is a new CPU being put on the newer TA-088 boards. Now THAT is a problem. Back to firmware exploits then.

"reason the current Pandora stuff still works"

That should be "does not work".

Sony way of blocking it.

Just ban guys like this, seriously.

You have got to remember that there will always be a way to hack the PSP. Whether or not the public knows how to do it is a different story. Sony has to have their own back doors in the PSP so that they can fix them if they happen to brick.

all psps that ever have come out all work fine with my totalnewbiinsta ller universal unbricker mms setup



ill have to find a ta-088 and see if it blocks that



hmmm this is a task i must do yes XD

since the psp has the leading hardware sales for the past 2 years or so. and they even adsmitted that thanks to homebrew, it fueled the sales. sony isn't really affected, compared to the game developers. since homebrew = free games = psp sales.



@failtorespond, i just don't want to waste any money. nba live 08 on the psp is worth 50 bucks when it first came out. it is as expensive as its xbox 360 version. lolz. heck, i could even buy nba 2k8 on 360 or ps3 which is far better. nobody wants that kind of thing, right?

Just cause the game sucks doesn't mean you should steal it. Use whatever excuse you want to justify your point, but if you pirate games, your a thief, end of story.



And just cause they got more sales on the console, it doesn't mean it is right. What about the developers who you are stealing from who pour their time into a project that youre just going to steal?



I don't really care who steals what, but you shouldn't spend your time bragging about how you are a thief. Thats all.

I guess you could always do a physical mod, like install a mod chip to get custom firmware working..

50 bucks for some Crappy game!!? F\/Ck that!



I second you roddollente



I buy games too! But man not all games are that good and cool.

Just buy the games what are wort it to buy and download the ones you feel kie it!

What? Don't tell me that the Company will fall apart cuz those games are being pirated?! No way thats because It SUCKS!



Is like a balance:

Some ppl Buy

Some ppl Download Pirated Games

Some Buy more

Some pirated more



Still the company is getting a lot of F\/king money for it!



So don't complain!

Is your life, u do whatever you want with whatever u have.

PSP, u want the Game really bad Buy it

U just want to try it Download it!If u like it a lot Buy it, if u have the money.



Some ppl cant just buy all those good games in those so expensive price!



Thanks!

take it or leave it!

sega diminished because of low hardware sales. genesis didn't translate well in north america as much as mega drive did in japan and south america. then, sega released Sega CD then Sega 32X which did poorly on the market. their downfall became worse in the release of Sega Saturn. Saturn momentarily beat Playstation in 1996, but it eventually died after 3 years. and then, Dreamcast became the total end for Sega video game consoles, that's why they moved to software management.



well FoolMonkey, your name suits you best. couldn't agree more. if Sega diminished because of piracy, then today instead of making games, they should've produced game systems, since Pirated Games are Software, and not hardware. Hardware can't be easily pirated. use the head.

It's only a matter of time, like all the other psp hardware that was release in the past.

Unless Sony TOTALLY re-build the whole PSP from scratch then that will definitely set the pandora/CFW flashing/SW mods scene back. Just like the PSP to PSP slim migration. But it WILL be done eventually.

Plus, most ppl already have a modded psp now days. Not to mention that there are countless more in stores just waiting to be modded.

There aren't going to be any probs nor shortage on the PSP community in the near future imo.



Now when it comes to piracy. I dl pirate PSP games on a constant basis. I have been doing so for nearly 4 years. I have all of the USA/EUR titles available to market and I am NOT ashamed to say so. I also support the companies that I like. I buy the games that I play CONSTANTLY and the rest I just dl cause I have spent countless of $ in the past and present buying games that are not even worth a cent, specially the PSP system. 99% of the tittles are a waste of $ and time. I collect and am happy to do so and will continue to do so.

ANYONE who wants to object, save it. I AND COUNTLESS of ppl aren't going to start buying crappy games just because of a futile attempt on making me feel bad. Plus all those DVD ads that got me all numb about the whole subject.

Piracy is an option. And I chose to do so, perhaps if the gaming market aren't bull*****t!ng SOOO much about their product, there might be no need do to so in the 1st place in my case.



doesn't bother me...

"I buy games that i want. and i pirate games that i just want to try to see if they're any good. for me, that's not immoral since i don't follow the bible."



God, you're a moron.



1. "Renting" may be what you want.

2. There is plenty of morality outside of the Bible.

I'm betting that Sony will eventually be so blinded by trying to stop cfw users that they'll make a PSP that has no back doors, and can't be recovered from a brick, not even by them.

the Bible isn't the law. You can't compare the Bible to law. Oh, how come God burnt Sodom and Gomorrah because they're gays and lesbians? huh? dumbass. when you see a beggar, you don't say "im going to help him cause the Bible says so." Youre going to help him cause you have humanity in you. Bible is crap. Law is good, but the ones that implement it aren't. period.



another thing, pirating and murder are two different things. wow. you're a simpleton. the companies ripping off people's wallets is reality. pirating their stuff only lowers their profits. BUT THEY STILL MAKE MILLIONS OUT OF IT! your ideals don't fit in the topic.



"murder isn't wrong because anyone can choose to do it."? sooo idealistic and theoretical.



reality 101, dumbass. i'm pirating. i'm not taking someone's life. i'm not raping a 6-year-old. you're comparing two things that are far off in the spectrum.





maybe you don't know how to read. as i said, i buy games that are worth it. okay then, go support overpriced games like Infected, Marvel: Rise of the Imperfects, Transformers, and Brooktown High and spend over $100, while i just pirate and delete them right away. LOL

Yes, I used extreme examples. I'm sure most other people got that. Right now, you are just desperately trying to save your own ass on the internet, where no one cares.



To a business, a million dollars is a lot less than you think. You have no idea how much money goes in to making games, and profits don't go into the pockets of one person. It is split among thousands (or more) of employees. While they still may be making millions from a game, piracy hurts. A lot.



I actually have a life. Friends, hot girlfriend, the whole 9 yards. As such, I spend most of my time doing other things than video games. So, I don't support over-priced games; I barely support games at all, just a select few that look good. I don't really have the free time to try all these different games that will end up sucking. I don't buy, rent, borrow, or anything games that look like they would suck. But if that's how you choose to spend your free time, I won't say anything more against it.



In many cultures (although thankfully in your case, not America), theft is a capital offense. That means the death penalty. So yeah, to some people stealing is as bad as murder and rape. Please learn something.

I couldn't have said it better myself (obviously).
