A few folks have been investigating this and it doesn't seem too promising, but it's still a bit early to call it for sure.

even if it does turn into an exploit, will it offer anything that we can't already get with gripshift?

This is interesting. The only problem is do the PSP's currently on store shelves have 5.00? I certainly hope not lolz. >_<

This should be an interesting development to watch ...

Yeah... and they never even heard about HEN.

Hearing the word "HEN" really brings me back. I know this may sound foolish but I hate the new kids that were not around when it was known as the golden 1.5 era, I'm sure you two remember. Oh man remember when 1.5 was everything? If you had anything else you were not *****, lol.



I mean in forums now, people that don't get it want to know how to use pandora, which is fine you know whatever. But I'll never forget how it all started, 1.5 and using DevHook, homebrew may not have been what it has now... or maybe it was even more-so then, depends how you look at it. Anyway, I remember when I first heard of Dark-Alex, was when I actually visited this site and read along the lines of how a person invented the Recovery Mode. I thought the recovery mode was possibly the most impressive thing ever made for the PSP (At the time, before popsloader, because that was so big this site practically lagged out when it hit), because at the time you had programs that flashed your PSP, but if something went wrong, you were done.



Anyway, sorry to make such a huge post, but it's awesome running into people that had theirs since the beginning.

i remember those days..

When you would have to run devhook just to play the latest games. i remember doing the 2.00 downgrade and even the 2.00 FW LEAK off of the sony servers.. about 1 month early. (i got that and updated my PSP with that)

but i am apart of a Main PSP forum and there is tons of new users who are barley jumping in..

anyone remember Xflash??? One of my all time favorite programs for the PSP.

ahh... thoze were the days.. of psp modding..

Yeah we won't need to go out and buy gripshift to hack the PSP. It'd be like the days with the 2.71 firmware.

psp owns all!

My PSP-3000 freezes alot when im browsing the internet and playing some older games *cough*gripshif t*cough*
