Here it is folks, less than 24 hours after Sony released the newest PSP software update version 6.60, homebrew dev  some1 comes back on the scene to bring some good news to the community. The dev has apparently found a new loophole to the latest PSP firmware update.


Check out the video proof:


 

 

According to the description posted by G0l3m33, who was apparently given access some1 to test out his latest firmware exploit:

"This is the proof of concept for another kernelexploit found and developed by some1 for the latest firmware 6.60 running on all psp models. This video shows the exploit loading on the PSP Go!

"He is currently working on the downgrader so stay tuned.But until it is out I recommend you to keep away from the update since it has no features unless disabling your HENs ;-)"

Now things are really getting interesting again. Yesterday, homebrew dev neur0n and Team PRO has already posted a the progress they made in relation with firmware 6.60 that may lead to another custom firmware update in the coming days.

How do you figure? The PSP is a completely different system with very different hardware. The PSP hardware mistakes they've made in the past they're SURE to fix in the Vita.... after what happened to them with the PS3 I'm sure they won't go down easy.

I hope Sony gets the difference between homebrew and pirated gaming some day. :sad: I would appreciate the ability to use my fingers in possible homebrew software sometime.
BTW that kid who cracked the PS3 deserves SERIOUS props! Too bad those bastards mistook him for pirating. D:

Especially if they got lazy and implement the Vita like the PSP.

I just might go ahead and get a Vita when it launches. At this rate, homebrew will be made for it in 3 months.

LMAO!!

This is more bad news for Sony.

They're probably better off hiring hackers to make their firmwares actually with security and no holes.

But then, nothing's 100%.

Vita and PSP's systems are completely different.


for those who are already saying that Vita is screwed just because of these hacks for PSP, just shut up and you should know that Vita has a lot of differences from PSP and one of those differences is Vita's system itself.

before you say is Vita is screwed, try to think that the handheld is "NOT OUT YET" on any stores nor even Japan.

youre daft. m33 CFWs were good, true. but the new ones do everything the old ones did. why people are so stuck on the past is beyond me. Its like driving a pinto and going YEAH PINTO!!!!! even though there a million newer better cars on the market.


GODS MOVE ON. Dark_Alex did...

...was actually hired by Sony and is working on Vita so don't expect much hackability. That's why we he quit the cfw scene. I was hanging out with him the other day and he says he's much happier now although he misses the excitement of hacking the PSP. He's making really good money and has made a name for himself in the PSP world.
