[Vega]

messaging board via Sony (http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=psp&thread.id=2717632)

Interesting news, as Sony's official boards actually have homebrew users and they are giving tutorials on how to set up 3.02OE-B.

http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=psp&thread.id=2717632

It clearly depicts a step by step tutorial of how to set up 3.02OE-B.

This reminds me of their link to pspupdates, they probably havn't noticed yet or like you said the mods don't care, but i'm sure their bosses would.

[pimpjuice10]

lmao maybe sony is finally easing down or starting to give up they can't win and they know it.

[splodger15]

^ ^
No they are not easing down


hmmm i can see that thread getting locked.

Sony do not support homebrew but they promote 3.02OE

Which has the hacked PS1 Emu and can load ISO's

Something strange.Unless big Sony bosses dont know about it yet

[pimpjuice10]

maybe they realize even tho they might loose money the might actually gain some back by allowing it because pple might buy more psp's.

[ataribob]

That reminds me of how you set a trap to get a rat running around your house..
Set the bait and wait a few weeks

[acn010]

lol, oh wow. i can't believe this happening

Sony do not support homebrew but they promote 3.02OE

They aren't promoting it in any way, shape or form. Its just a thread on their forum, the Sony bosses won't think a thing of it because the internet is such a small demographic of people using a PSP.

In fact, I'll go as far as saying this benefits Sony. Imagine you have a person who doesn't own a PSP, who starts browsing the forums for help with his PS2 for example. He stumbles across the PSP forum and sees "Oh wow, I can play my old PS1 games and play all the other old consoles! I'll buy one of those." Another sale for Sony.

[irishwhip]

:eek: the thread is 35 pages long? i thought their mods would have stepped on it after the first post.

[Totalitarian]

Sony's staff are lazy. Anybody who's took a trip to that site or the European one would know this to well.

Something is strange... Someone said something about laying a trap for rats... Sony's doing something... And it's mafia-style...

I'm wanting out... Unless dcemu protects its members...

[alucard001]

this is hilarious

[snkrock25]

WTF... seriously, wtf.

i'm just gonna ignore it as if it never existed, otherwise my head might implode. :confused:

[Nikolaos]

hmm, interesting very interesting. i think it wil get locked

[ExcruciationX]

Another small step in the PSP homebrew world!

[penileartery]

ive seen alot of homebrew on the sony forum..since about summertime..its nothing new..lol ive seen devhook on there 2.71 se and now 3.02 oe..lol

[bwlfp]

Well it could be good for Sony if people who were stubbornly remaining on 1.5 (me) finally upgrade to a firmware that can play the latest releases, I might actually buy them.

[bopit96]

i cant believe!!! this ih
s just like if i was talking about pirate xp version to bill gates!!! completly insane!!

[Brusier]

freaky..if those who are making there mods are psp devs...

this would increase intrest in the psp more.

[pt9087]

true but this is not the first piece of homebrew on the sony website, i have seen a few people post things in the forums there. i dont think its sony cracking up either... its just them not being bothered. so they might loose a bit of money... who cares, the owner who is probably a billionair by now.

[samthegreat68]

wow, that tutorial was incredibly helpful, i think i just mustered up the guts to upgrade to custom firmware

[cal360]

hopefully that thread might encourage more people to realise the benifits of the hacking scene

[.:}<3\/!}\{:.]

LOL!!!! we win!!!

I mean this with the up most offence, you people have absolutely no clue, do you?

You're all spouting the most ignorant comments I've ever seen and I really can't understand it.

Don't bash people for being a bit excited. It's their right to say random crazy things when they see something out of the ordinary. :p

[dogspit]

Do you all still believe in Santa's you're all blind? First of all... don't you think it's odd sony's gave away a "hidden" full and free psx1 emulator? Don't you get it? This is only a play from sony to sell more PSP's! They want to gain the number one spot in the portable consoles market! They made this tutorial to spread the word that PSP will run psx1 games, and they won't even care if they are pirated iso versions as long they keep selling PSP's! Dark alex blew the chances of them to sale games from PS3 to PSP.. do you think sony gives a f***k? No they won't, because only a few people would use that lame system for playing old psx1 games (and paying a pile of money!) on the PSP! This way, they will profit more!

[xcjzerox]

SONY PROBABLY IS THINKING SOMETHING BIG

It's a comment's board. I think you were a expecting a bit too much? :o

Wrong.

Sony makes MORE profit on the games sold than they do on the systems. A game in the store that sells for $39.99 is making sony about $25 PROFIT, and even IF they make a profit on the system, it is very little. This has been the rule for all game systems to date. Sell the system at a small loss, and let the games make you money.

Also, the what, 4 or 5 bucks to download a game... that is ALL profit to sony. the developers have already been paid, there is no packaging, no materials.. so basically it costs sony NOTHING to have the games for sale on their website.

Ouch. A bit harsh, my friend. We're all human here, after all.

However I do somewhat agree. "lol omg bbq wtf" I get SO sick and tired of this. All these people that INSIST on typing like this need to go back to school and re-learn how to spell simple words. Excited or not, it's plain stupid. Usually, I don't even bother reading what they type, because I can't understand half of it.

[Veskgar]

That is pretty funny and shows that PSP homebrew has become embedded in the PSP's history so deep now that it extends far and wide and will never be stomped out or stopped.

[pt9087]

lol, People typing lame ass things. haha

[razorak]

Employee: I have good news and bad news....
Boss: Good news first.
Employee: Many people have upgraded their psps recently.
Boss: That's good news indeed...but what's the bad news?
Employee: They upgraded to 3.02 OE-B....
Boss:...

This is the thought that ran thru my head when i saw the thread title =X SUrely they can't be like that...lol

[Sharkey]

...which just supports my paranoid theory. This is in no way true but think of this, I did while I was contemplating upgrading my 1.5 to 3.02 OEb.

Sony knows it has lost to homebrew, if only they could get everyone to upgrade their OE firmware to Sonys legit firmware all would be lost, for awhile anyways. How could they do it?

They could make an open ended firmware update similar to 3.02 OE with a feature that everyone owning a 1.5, or 2.71 (main homebrew users), would think is worth upgrading for (like we all did with Dark Alex's firmware). They could then add a timed feature (like we have seen with some of the games downloaded from the store), that after a certain amount of time erased or locked out all of the exploits that allow homebrew with you being now stuck with regular old 3.02. They could then upload it using a respectable coders name and get us all to use it, ruining our homebrew capabilities, but also their reputation.

None of this is true but it could happen. That's the reason why I waited a couple days before upgrading my 1.5 to the new custom firmware. I'm paranoid, but I won't let those *******s get me or my beloved hombrew capable psp.

my last on this topic.

People like this are the exact reason I very seldomly post on the DCEMU forums. WAY too much of themselves invested into the comments they read :o . Honestly, some people just enjoy simply "commenting" on news by expressing their immediate reaction to a certain topic. My immediate reaction to reading homebrew tutorials in an official Sony PSP forum was "wtf". Lighten up. :o

[Emeriastone]

My is guess is it will be down very soon...

[Vega]

This thread is designed to provide a both a guide for installing the 3.02 OE custom firmware, and a place to ask for help in the process. I've done what I can to make this guide as safe and as easy as possible, and I'm quite confident that if you follow this guide, the process of upgrading to 3.02 OE will be quite simple and completely harmless.

lol... found the first few sentences so funny

[SSaxdude]

It says at the bottom:
This thread is not authorized or supported by Sony in any way. I have no affiliation with Sony or any of it's associates.

[luxoflux]

That shocked me knowing that Sony didn't just delete the whole thread as quick as possible.

[PSMan62]

the other thing about this is,
b/c of the IDIOTS posting homebrew and other exploits 4 the PSP ON their sites, sony can then make more and more firmware updates an make it so that the latest games will (somehow) have the latest firmwares (which SUX)

[task514]

One step toward homebrew for Sony!!!:thumbup:

[Ramza042]

The PS3 actually supports homebrew... for now. Sony even released a statement saying it would, but I doubt it will last very long.

[gamer76]

guys read the last bit on the first post:
