The Biggest Threat to the PSP Homebrew Scene Is Coming - Sonys PS1 Emu

***wraggster*** · July 3rd, 2006, 20:09

Sony are soon to reveal their PS1 Emulator for the PSP which could support up to 7000 games and if they price it right then will most people who enjoy Homebrew as it is now be tempted to update to a new firmware which could kill homebrew for the foreseable future.

All the firmware updates so far have offered us little apart from Flash and the lockouts to Homebrew but to use an Emulator to lock out homebrew could be the smartest move yet by Sony, the PS1 is what most teenagers and slightly above grew up with and is quite a weapon against homebrew.

My Question to you is this, if Sony release the emulator and it runs good enough and cheap enough will you upgrade to a new homebrew killing firmware ?

Well someone is bound to release a firmware emulator doing the same job as Devhook, so we may not be totallay screwed.

I would not risk losing 1.5 for PS1. Not now, not ever. Sony can keep their emu to themselves.

the modchip does work, installed and used it myself.
But get it professionally done, dont do it yourself.

the ps1 emu, someones bound to make a homebrewn version of it. and ya, a devhook type program will probably be out and about to use

me too, ill get the modchip or a new psp.
my 1.50 is staying the way it is!

i am not upgrading for a ps1 emulator in threat of loosing emulators and homebrew!

i will possibly buy another psp

**Edshugeo** · July 3rd, 2006, 20:26

My answer's no. It might tempt me to get my PSP modded, provided that can be done cheaply enough. I do look forward to playing Jumping Flash on my PSP... one way or another.

**mat_dizzy** · July 3rd, 2006, 20:29

indeed, the other thing is i'd rather support the homebrew psx emulators in the making off!

homebrew will never die! and i for one am supporting it 100%
