Warning: Fake PSP emulator bricking PS3s

Posted Sep 27, 2010 at 4:13PM EST by Glenn M.

Listed in: PSP, PS3 Tags: emulator, homebrew community

warning The PS3 homebrew community is currently enjoying a growth spurt, but here's a strong reminder to be very careful about what you stick into your console. Someone has created a false PSP emulator for the PS3, wrote up convincing instructions to install it, and has now left a number of PS3 consoles completely bricked.

The faker goes by the name TeamICE and has released the so-called PSP emulator in quite a few forums and hacking communities. The accompanying readme was apparently legit-looking, providing details on how to get PSP games running on a PS3. Those who've tried it out now have bricked consoles.

Be warned, and please be advised.

89.4% of voters think this story ROCKS!

your retarded! not everyone wants to copy stupid kids games!!! some people want to use the hardcore processors to run homebrew ... ( thats home made progs ) and want to learn how the system works so they can become brighter people... some even want to make their own games... its not about stealing its about unleashing!!! if i bought a red toaster and wanted to paint it blue I COULD!!! if i rented a red toaster and wanted to paint it blue then i shouldnt... its not mine.... same goes for code!!!! TOOL!

Anyone who followed these instructions wanted to pirate PSP games and deserved what they got, a problem PS3 that Sony is not going to fix and money down the drain.

Therefore, everyone who got their PS3 bricked because of this wanted to copy games.

Before you go about and and defend homebrew, don't do it on a topic that is clearly piracy.

-1 # ROFL at you — Really? 2010-09-30 07:24

Another silly comment, who said they were pirated PSP games, I have ripped my PSP games to memory stick so the loading of the games is 4 time quicker, doesn't make me a pirate so following these instructions are no different, my games, my console, doesn't matter where I play them

# RE: ROFL at you — 0genmu0 2010-09-30 14:09

@really?
ROFL at you? REALLY?
Why would you want to play PSP games on a ps3 anyway? you kind of defeat the purpose of having the game as a PORTABLE way of entertainment.

The moment you tried to play the "i haven't pirated sh!t" and defend yourself for it was so obvious that it just makes you look even more pathetic

# RE: RE: ROFL at you — PS3 Owner1 2010-09-30 14:29

PSP games in 720p look like shit even with filters, I don't want to imagine them in 1080p.

480p is enough! Don't stretch the image.

# RE: RE: ROFL at you — Dirk 2010-10-01 15:28

Dual analogues for a start

PS1 games were not designed to be portable so why release those games for the PSP?

An emu can be run in windowed form so it doesn't look too bad on large screens
Sony themselves released a cable so you could connect your PSP to your tv

Most people probably do want to run pirated PSP games but not all of them do

GTA Stories, MGS PW & PO, Resistance and the rest with "proper" controls would be pretty damn good

Quoting SecretMario:

Even though my ps3 isn't hacked,that's messed up. People use their hard earned money to get this console.

And developers spend their money in making more games for our happiness.

Its time for this people with bricked ps3 to stop trying to run illegal ('backup') copies and buy the REAL game.

This support the entire market. Thei should've know from the start that buying a PS3 means spending money on games too.

If they want easy stuff, go for Xbomb360.

My country's customs taxes are about 80% of game and i still buy original PS3 titles.

Anyways, i'm loling hard the news. Go Team Sony! OH WAIT. TeamICE!

dude....there are way more awesome 'sub ps2 quality' games then there are 'technically advanced' games around. the idea of my ps3 being able to play any game from the 80s to present day, from pretty much any other console, is pretty awesome!

-3 # RE: ahah — PS3 Owner1 2010-09-27 20:55

People with hacked Xbox 360 (+ Wii) have now bought a PS3 Slim and hacked it too.

They (people) are too cheap to actually buy the games.

It doesn't matter if it's PS3 or Xbox 360, it's done and it can't be stopped.

Btw, what's the point of keeping insulting Microsoft's system? Meh, Sony fanboys..

Real gamers buy their own games, go to GameStation, CeX or online stores such as Amazon, PS3 games aren't expensive.

With a PS3 it's easier to hack than an Xbox 360, but hacking to pirate it sucks.

If it's so easy, then how come it took like 4 years to get any kind of PS3 homebrew?

What if someone (like me) just wanted to play there legit psp games on there tv with the ps3. While I know piracy is rampant people forget its not all about it. I legitimately own about 70 psp titles and would enjoy playing them on my hdtv with a ps3 controller wirelessly. I understand that the psp-go can do this but I dont and wont buy one with no legacy support. I havent hacked my ps3 but I still feel bad for the people that did.

You don't need to play it through the ps3. Just buy the video wire and hook it up to your tv.

Do you even know what Homebrew is? Apparently you don't. Go get a dictionary and learn. No, the sole purpose of HomeBrew is to run user-created content. Commercial Developers and Sony are not the only people capable of making games and software, but not everybody can afford Sony's incredibly huge licensing fees to do so. Yes the side effect is piracy, but that is not what it is for any more than your automobile's sole purpose is for racing.

Get off your high horse.

I know what homebrew is lol
I think ur just retarded enough to not understand my point.

"Commercial Developers and Sony are not the only people capable of making games and software"

O RLY? And the 'software' we are talking about have the sole purpose of booting psp pirated games. PERIOD.

"but not everybody can afford Sony's incredibly huge licensing fees to do so."

Then go for iPhone, pay $99/year and be happy.

# RE: RE: RE: hah — Deerwings 2010-10-01 10:23

Evidently you don't. PSPKVM? Good for running OperaMini, GoogleMail, Weather apps and many other J2ME applications that are freely downloadable from their original authors. PMPPlayer, allowing people to view their own videos with codecs that aren't provided by Sony on the PSP due to Sony's licensing, but are freely available on the internet. And many other homebrew applications that have absolutely NOTHING TO DO with Piracy at all. I'm the retarded one? Apparnetly so, since i can't seem to differentiate between software that users have written and piracy.

Here, let me break it down. Piracy, is the theft of commercially available software that was not purchased by the user. Commercially available software, that means UMD's and games downloaded from PSN. That's only about a third of what the PSP is used for COMMERCIALLY. The other 2/3'rds has nothing to do with the games at all.

''the 'software' we are talking about have the sole purpose of booting psp pirated games. PERIOD'' O RLY? Do you even -READ- the QJ forums here? Can you count, for me, the number of stories that are about homebrew applications available specifically for booting or ripping PSP pirated games? No, you cannot. I can show you a couple of applications, amongst the hundreds of homebrew applications, that are used for piracy. Like maybe 1 in 1000. If you can prove me wrong, go right ahead.

And apparently, the retard is me? Apparnetly you don't even get the purpose of the iPhone market either. But you know the difference? Unlike the iPhone, where just anybody can write an app and submit it for approval, you can ONLY get a game on the PSP after you've paid Sony's 'licensing fee's to do so, and hope that you can afford it. Otherwise, you have to deal with their 'security'.

Clearly, the point hasn't been understood by the original poster. Oh wait, that was you. Happy Trolling!

# RE: RE: RE: hah — Alex Camacho 2010-10-04 10:51

@Raphael
I wonder if anybody here has heard of a little game for psp called Zero Gravity (i think) this game was originally a homebrew. This little homebrew game was so amazing that the first time i played it i thought, wow this is way better than a lot of games from sony. Well guess what this little homebrew was so amazing in fact that $ony actually bought it and hired the guy who made it. Homebrew is an absolute must for all systems it can sometimes lead to the discovery of hidden tallent. It's not all about piracy.

Not exactly... like man this is like religion...they tell you one thing and you believe in it without question...homebrew is not about homebrew...homebrew is a coverup....its like when you download music over a p2p network...its called "sharing" so the people doing the downloading are safe from the law, however the guy distributing the music or files is the one to get fucked as he is "distributing"...jus upen your eyes bro there are a lot more poor/cheap people in this world than there are homebrew developers...the sole purpose of homebrew is to get games for free...the side effect is to run user-created content...oh by the way suck my cock

That's not how it works. You wouldn't have P2P sharing networks if it weren't for homebrew. You wouldn't have many applications on your computer if it weren't for homebrew. You wouldn't have a lot of the things you take for granted if it weren't for homebrew. The difference being? Many of the things these days are so jealously guarded that if you even look at it sideways someone has to scream 'piracy' and 'theft'. But that's not how it works. Downloading music over P2P may be 'sharing', but it is still stealing. But you're not stealing the P2P program, are you? What would you do if Microsoft suddenly told you that you can only run Windows on your computer and Microsoft-created applications and nothing else? And made your computer so that you couldn't install anything else? Or even view webpages except for the ones that were Microsoft approved? You'd throw shitfits, too.

The sole purpose of homebrew is not to get games for free. The sole purpose of homebrew is not to get games for free. The sole purpose of homebrew is not to get games for free. There, I said it three times so you can't just tl;dr. The purpose of homebrew is to enable a consumer to run non-commercial software.

As for your last comment, can't suck what isn't there.

deerwings is right on this one, stfu with these stupid homebrew conspiracies you guyz are making up. i for one know that truly, i want to use homebrew not for piracy, but for the fun and challenge of programming and using homebrews. and like Uplink said, i want to PLAY MY PSP GAMES THAT I BOUGHT WITH A WIRELESS CONTROLLER THATS MORE USER-FRIENDLY THAN THE PSP.

If you can read right the actual topic is to warn people of this ps3 bricking homebrew.

not all homebrew is directed towards piracy, its just all about pushing the limits of hardware/ software and adding cool features that the original Firmware doesn't allow. Just look at what awsome apps the psp has, imagine with the ps3!

Nah, this is more like someone trying to install keyless entry into their car and having it turn around and fry their car's entire electrical system. This was a product that was supposed to be legit turn out not to be, and in this country that's called fraud.

Defending homebrew is unfortunately the fault of all the anti-homebrew freaks that decided to come in here and start spouting off. I have one question. If you're so against homebrew, why bother come here? There's got to be decades of other websites out there dedicated to SCEA-licensed products. But, no, we get trolls.

Seems like the PSP, when it's screwed you can use a pandora batttery + ms card but on the PS3 that's not possible, and if it's bricked it needs to be fixed by professionals (or $ony).

Bricking a system that cost $300 to $600 is no joke.

I dislike people pirating games which is what most were attempting to do with this, but the PS3 is a $300 system so regardless if they do or not, that'd really suck.

+3 # RE: I feel sorry for those it happened to if it can't be fixed — Lightsource 2010-09-27 18:45

This is mostly an argument in semantics but they weren't trying to pirate games, though goodness knows they probably could, they were trying to...well...I guess pirate PSPs. I would love to be able to play PSP games on my ps3. Like, if Sony dropped a PSP emulator on the PS Store for say...$100? I think that some, if not a lot of people, would jump on that. Sure $100 seems really cheap, but considering that there's no hardware costs involved, I'd think that that would be fair.

that would never work, the arcetecture of the processors are completely different, the software would have to manage workloads on the 7 'cores' on the ps3 and redirect vertex and shared arguments over less pipelines than the 360 has nativly. not to mention the completely different memory on the consoles (the PS3 has way less RAM)

PS3 has an integrated PSP emulator but it's not accessible because Sony has locked it down.

When PSP is discontinued then maybe they'll allow PSP emulator on PS3 legitimately.

this is what you get for wanting to play illegally downloaded games.

# RE: -- — KylBlz 2010-09-28 00:59

homebrew IS free, you dont HAVE to download anything illegal to use the emulator. theres nothing that says emulators are illegal either. are the devs of things like Dadelus64, snes9x, PSPJE, and PS2emu getting sued? no..

I AGREE

# RE: RE: -- — 0genmu0 2010-09-30 14:17

uhh.... sure it's not illegal but they're used to play COMMERCIAL licensed games. AND PLEASE... Don't defend it by saying, it's not being sold anymore, blah blah blah.. Go on Ebay. You'll find it there.

# I see — NeoHumpty 2010-09-27 22:03

I see a sales spike coming up. See? Homebrew is good for the console makers. Now Sony can sell multiple systems just like ol' Redring's been doing for years. lol.

# RE: I see — PS3 Owner1 2010-09-28 15:15

You think $ony's happy about this? Go check psgroove's news.

$CEA is going to attack psJailBreak, psGroove and etc.

# RE: RE: Warning: Fake PSP emulator bricking PS3s — PS3 Owner1 2010-09-28 09:47

Until $ony starts to behave correctly they won't be respected by their fans.

Either $ony paid someone to do this or their own team did this, which is most probably.

# Oh really? — Seaweed 2010-09-30 17:43

I respect Sony, and I wouldn't really mind it if sony is the ones who created this. Either you broke the terms, and ran it, and broke it. Or, you can't run it. Noone "innocent" can be hurt by this.

whats with all the faggot trolls that are against homebrew? Its a sad day when the homebrew community gets double crossed by itself (or $ony!! its a conspiracy!! lol jk) and i feel really bad for the poor people that bricked their consoles :( "TeamICE" owes them each 700 bucks!

i can only say HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA you dumba**es that installed this on your ps3 got what you deserve and i would bet money that SONY secretly did this to teach all of you a lesson "DONT MESS WITH SONY" they said it over and over hacking the ps3 is illeagle but NOOOOOOO you dumba**es thought you could get away with so i say CUDOS to whoever come up with this awsome bricker maybe next time youll all learn to stop messing with things that dont concern you and again HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

It's actually "kudos" not "cudos" you freaking ignorant/dumbass.

$ony can go f#uck themselves with the updates for PS3 that have been releasing.

Guess we have a dumbass here who either bricked his ps3 or updated it before he read the news... LoL

# RE: Warning: Fake PSP emulator bricking PS3s — Azariel_z 2010-09-28 04:07

Reminds me of the NDS scene , with Bricked DS years ago ( over a patch...)...and guess what happened? That didn't stop a thing, but got the community very angered, and I bet this motivated MORE hackers to work against nintendo Anti piracy protection...

# RE: Warning: Fake PSP emulator bricking PS3s — christopher 2010-09-28 06:48

sure like loads of people on QJ.net I have hacked my PSP to run CFW/homebrew. I have never downloaded or played a game that wasn't mine (I have backed up my own games for holidays, so I don't take daft UMD's) I use homebrew such as psp rhythm and IRshell as well as loads more.

the PSP is limited and homebrew improves it (plus its portable). what is the point of PS3 homebrew? what can't I do on my mac/pc already that would be possible with PS3 homebrew... that's useful? nothing

you know whats really funny? The fact that not a single ps3 user that got their consol bricked has posted on this article. They must be so stupid n salty that they gonna completly ignore this post hahahahhaha

# RE: RE: Warning: Fake PSP emulator bricking PS3s — PS3 Owner1 2010-09-28 12:47

Or maybe it wasn't that many/much of them because what most of them want is to play illegal PS3 backups.

Buy the damn games they're not expensive! I really hope lots and lots get their PS3 bricked, because many bought PS3 solely to play pirate games.

Note: Homebrew is not piracy!

# Hot damn — Lazyboy256 2010-09-28 13:30

@ all the people against any homebrew.
I too am against the downloading of PS3 games, but I support homebrew and emulators.

Still though, sucks to be the peple with bricked consoles.

And developers spend their money in making more games for our happiness.

Its time for this people with bricked ps3 to stop trying to run illegal ('backup') copies and buy the REAL game. ...

This brick program is ruining consoles for attempting to install an HB, not by playing a pirate game you faggot.

Is hard to get oxygen to your brain up there in the penthouse?

Oh, and the sole purpose of the HomeBrew is what? Make your PS3 SHINE?

NO, is to play pirated games so stfu.

Do you know what homebrew is? If you do, then you'd know that homebrew does NOT equal pirated games. Go back to lurking, and dont come back until you have a decent knowledge of the homebrew scene.

# RE: RE: Warning: Fake PSP emulator bricking PS3s — PS3 Owner1 2010-09-28 18:19

RaphaelDDL is another fool who thinks Homebrew is equal to piracy.

I pity him.

sony should investigate the souces, and use it in a forced update to stop ALL emulators

# RE: i think — PS3 Owner1 2010-09-28 20:39

Emulators are open-source, but an ignorant like you can't understand such simple thing.

Homebrew is free.

$ony and their fanboys have turned completely to full retards.

# RE: Warning: Fake PSP emulator bricking PS3s — gils001 2010-09-28 21:36

ha ha ha

i never run any homebrew programs without getting a review from someone who actually tried it or seen a video on it..................i guess this means u got to be even safer with homebrew..
remember the good times PS3 owners when ur ps3 actually worked

# QJ.NET... — DCX6000 2010-09-28 23:03

QJ.Net does support Homebrew, not the illegal actions of people behind it. I'm not gonna hack my PS3 for reasons like this and also (and most importantly), I fear I'll get banned. (Although if their were a way to hack the PS3 without getting caught, I'd still be hesitant about doing it.)

Homebrew is not piracy in anyway. The most homebrew does is void your warranty, but obviously if you have games you do not own an exact copy of. That's piracy.

I don't think emulators are bad though, but I leave that up to my computer or just get the game I want. So there really isn't any reason for homebrew on the PS3.(In my opinion) Pushing the consoles limits? Sure I guess. As long as it doesn't get bricked, (or any other form of damage) you don't get sued, you don't get banned, or all of those I mentioned.

Some prankster just caught everybody off guard in the moment of excitement within the PS3 Homebrew community. No need for fan boy wars or name calling.

+1 # Lol @ the anti-homebrew trolls — Alex 2010-09-28 23:13

Homebrew is what makes a system so much better. If I couldn't use my PSP to read ebooks, comic books, use alternative video players (some that even allow you to play different formats without having to convert), play emulators of older systems, listen to music while running other apps, read game guides on my psp while playing the game, use a photo editing app, remap button configurations for virtually any game that can run on the psp

Ya know that categories thing that SONY recently implemented into the official firmwares? Yeah, homebrewers did that YEARS ago lulz... so in some ways, SONY is way behind the homebrew community. Those homebrew devs are the ones that really make the PSP the best that it can be.

# RE: Lol @ the anti-homebrew trolls — PS3 Owner1 2010-09-30 09:26

Imagine PSP plugins and homebrew on PS3, it would be amazing, the perfection of homebrew!

They gotta release a homebrew PSP emulator that is capable of solely running homebrew apps and games.

And $ony is finally defeated.

# lol @ my mistake — Alex 2010-09-28 23:19

If I coudn't use my psp for all that, I likely would've sold it. In fact that's what I was going to do before I decided to finally hack it. Now it's the best console I've ever owned. I've spent more time with it than my old PS2...

# Me too — DCX6000 2010-09-28 23:39

I hacked my PSP as soon as I got it. Enjoyed every minute of not having to carry around games (yes they were backups I dumped to the memory stick) and I had my emulators. Then it died!

# which country teamice from — someguy2010 2010-09-28 23:33

If it was chinese hacker who releases this fake psp emulator, the news will probably have china in bold all over the place.. but since this is done by other countries, no need to mention the nation at all.

# hmmm — Alex 2010-09-29 00:47

you probably bricked it... if you had a pandora battery and magic memory stick, and if your psp was one of the fully hackable ones, you could fix it...

# Hello — PSP_JADES 2010-09-29 03:21

When I get my ps3 at xmas I'm not going to run homebrew on it unless it is legit and confirmed working.

I'm just also going to play backups on my psp not my ps3 when i get it.

# RE: Hello — PS3 Owner1 2010-09-29 12:30

There's only 1 out of a 1000 chances that homebrew apps are fake or viruses, and this is one of them.

It's only a theory, but I'd bet that $ony and their punkasses are behind this shit.

# RE: Warning: Fake PSP emulator bricking PS3s — TypicalHomebrewGuy 2010-10-01 12:42

Man I hate $ony. They made me buy this console. Then they make me update it to use the services they provide for free. And then they make me try to run unsigned code that bricks it. Those jerks.
Homebrew rules. Why does $ony try and stop me from opening up their closed system? Well actually I dont do anything. I dont really know how to code. I just beg on forums for someone else to figure out how to run backups. Because load times suck. And whenever I trade that UMD back in to gamestop I always delete my backup copy.
And I want to watch my video backups that are not in standard codecs. Because it would take forever to encode all my legally acquired backups from mkv to divx, xvid, or mp4.

+1 # ... — symbal 2010-10-01 20:05

Yeah i wouldn't be at all suprised if Sony did this, i mean at least with M$ they honest with their greed, they basically have the attitude that if you break their T&C's they have the right to detonate your 360 and anyone within range, but Sony just never admit their mistakes and just bald faced lie if they don't want to tell you something.

# RE: ... — 0genmu0 2010-10-02 12:13

Wow... Scary how you can think like that. With a company as BIG as Sony, any stupid attempt like this would surely be leaked out and made public... why would they do something so dangerous and might be damaging to themselves (in the future)?

This is just pathetic. It's purely speculation but you seem to be convinced that Sony did this.

+1 # RE: RE: ... — symbal 2010-10-02 19:07

I didn't say they did it i just meant maybe... After all it doesn't take some big committee meeting with everyone knowing to pull it off, just a few people who want to throw a spanner in the Psfreedom works to scare people into not hacking, i mean multi-million dollar industrial espionage is a daily occurance in big business, so is the possibility of Sony doing this beyond the realms of possibility.

# not to pirate — charliemurphy 2010-10-02 21:30

whos to say the people that attempted to implement this on their system didnt also have the intention of using their 1 legally permissible "backup"? and not illegally pirated material? im sure alot of people bought the psp cause they had a ps3 and vice versa.
sony sabotage all the way
