ATPSP 3.1 - Anti Theft PSP

Easy. Change your friend's computer so the program doesn't think he stole it.

Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables->System Variables: add a new one called "theif" with a value of "false". (without the quotes)

well if they can make an app that works with the custom fw(hold X to load the proggy) that wouldn't allow the psp to go to the XMB and u would have to hold X right after turning on the psp to put in the password...that would be cool

Don't worry, this is definitely possible. I would code this myself if I was better at it

All you need is a simple prx module loaded at boot (using custom firmware) and having the prx stored in flash so that you can't bypass it by removing the memory stick. There are a number of things you could do with this, not just password protection.

EDIT: BL8Z3D247: wtf? What would the point be of holding X? Who in the right mind would steal a PSP and hold X when booting up? That completely removes the point, because you would only hold X if you wanted to enter a password, which, if someone stole your PSP, they probably wouldn't. Use Dark_aleX's custom firmware mod - it loads programs on startup without you having to hold X (which I use for iRShell) and your idea seemes to be based around a program. Doesn't that not mean that they could hit "HOME" and Quit the game? Or just remove the memory stick before turning it on and have no bother. You need to think before you speak. Don't take it personally

that's the point they wouldn't beable to use it if they didn't know how to pull up a password screen

But it wouldn't automatically stop access if it was a normal program. Theyd still be able to access everything, and there would be no point in holding x if you knew there was gonna be a password screen.

Again, even if it can load custom programs, nothing would stop them from editing the config to remove the program...

Chill dude, he just meant that do some thinking before you suggest it, as normal programs wouldn't do the job, he didn't mean it nastily. Don't tarnish your reputation over a silly arguement

Anyhow StealthCP, a firmware PRX would do the job. But like said before, what would stop them either removing the memory stick (which contains the config file) or editing the config file?

Remove those instructions... It isn't something to put on this forum, as it is VERY damaging. I'm sure a mod will edit it if you don't...
