PSP Slim Mag: what's in store for the Homebrew scene? |

Edward Johnson, creator of the Digiplay Games Portal for the Playstation Portable, has just sent us an email about an article from the official PSP magazine from UK - PSP: The Official Guidebook by Future Publishing, we'd reckon, though we could be mistaken. The said article has a very interesting passage about the PSP Slim, speculating (and possibly hinting) at something big that would hit the homebrew scene, and soon.
The article's passage according to Johnson reads as follows:
Sony is obviously tight-lipped when it comes to security, and even tighter-lipped when it comes to security measures. Given its aggressive track record and serious work to combat hackers and pirates, it seems likely the PSP Slim and Lite will have something big up it's sleeve. And given the hackers track record, it won't be long before we find out what.
If Sony does indeed have something big in store for PSP security measures, what would this mean for the homebrew scene? We'll find out soon enough when it's released this September. The PSP Slim arrives in Europe early next month and Japan will have theirs on September 20. Watch out for updates.

(seriously homebrew wasn't just this little fad, it was and still is a revolution in handheld gaming and customization.)
Wow you can plug this into a tv and finally they've allowed usb charging, big whoop.
If the games still suck, who gives a *****. And yes, I know syphon filter and metal gear and some others have been reallly good, but overall psp games are gay.

The USB link is in effect to link your PSP to some mysterious computer controlled by Sony where everything is *censored* before they ever reach your memory stick, before you wonder why the USB bus could be that slower than a RS-232.
If you have something to copy to PSP which Sony doesn't like, you will got a CRC error or prompt you have a faulty USB cable, etc.
So don't bother hack it.

But they have to find the exploit.

In the theory, they don't ever think about what's CRC, MD5 or SHA-256 if you care; they just block the file from reaching the card.
Of course, they will need many staff to do the monitoring then.
Just think the theory as a replica of the Great Firewall anyway.
But the card reader flaw is right. Thanks for the tip.
