Well stay tuned.
Get the New Firmware If you want to play any of the new games again!




Sony is engaged in a tug-of-war with hackers who keep cracking its PlayStation Portable software to unlock the device and run their own applications on it.

The company is preparing another update to the PSP firmware to fix a recently disclosed bug that lets hackers downgrade the PSP system software and run their own, so-called homebrew code on the device, a Sony representative said Thursday.

"It is not...what the device was designed for," said Patrick Seybold, a spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment America. "We plan to deal with this issue with the next system update." He declined to say when that update would be ready.

Soon after Sony released the PSP earlier this year, hackers started hunting for bugs in the software that runs the device. Flaws were found and used to run homegrown applications, such as a PDF reader and an FTP client, on the device. The bugs were not used to attack PSP users.

Sony last month updated the PSP firmware to version 2.0. The update encompassed new features, including a Web browser, but also fixed the flaws that had been exploited by the hackers. The 2.0 update was made available on Sony's Web site and will be included in new PSP games, which will require the update, Seybold said.

Previous Next The 2.0 release sparked a new round of hacking. A buffer overflow flaw in the software was disclosed last week on PSP Updates, a PSP enthusiast site. The new bug can be exploited to run code on the device and to downgrade to version 1.5 of the firmware, according to PSP Updates. Version 1.5 was more hacker-friendly.

Sony is not "actively going after the people doing it," Seybold said, but the company does not advise running homebrew code on the PSP. "Running unauthorized software will void the warranty," he said.

The PSP was released in the U.S. in March. Since then, more than 2 million units have been sold in the U.S., according to Sony. The device is sold primarily as a portable game machine, but users can also play movies and music, display digital photos and browse the Internet through its built-in wireless networking.

Maybe because I am not reading the whole artical but all I see there is WWWHHHAAA We want more money and control (AKA Sony) When it was made out to seem like the ISO Game issue which is def not what most everyone here is in this for.

And users showing them they will continue to move forward every time.

I BOW TO YOU!!!!
FAK WAB!!!

It works.

So what I did was follow the steps he said. Opening the Photo Menu will cause your PSP to block - remove battery and restart. Did it 2 or 3 times, then opened the update file, gave me the error he said. Went to SysInfo -> Version 1.00

WOOT!!!!

Then I (had in my PC the 1.50) tried to update to 1.50 - gave me error at 99%, removed battery. Replaced, reset PSP.

SYSTEM ERROR, will be repaired by hitting "O"
Pressed "O" and viola! 1.50

I will try to install homebrew and will post right back.

I swear my PSP works fine and it shows version 1.50 but I didn't have time for much attempts and I can't run Megadrive for PSP, gives me "Game could not be started (80020001)"

Any ideas?

You don't actually have 1.50. It just looks like you do. Just like using the 1.5 version changer to up it to 2.0 doesn't actually make it 2.0.

Retard.
If you read what I exactly wrote, you will realize that my attempt to upgrade it to 1.50 fails but when I remove the battery the flash gets screwed enough so the emergency fixer activates and rewrites the flash with 1.50 (cause it was updated out of the factory)

The guy that wrote that he had 2 PSPs and one of them went back to 1.50 - that's what happened. He screwed the flash and the emergency fixer put 1.50

You don't have the brain to think, you don't have the balls to try what PsPmad posted.... What do you have? :confused:

Edit: I just ran SuperPong described here (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=8282). So?

Use both eboots the PsafeP programs will give you errors on good stuff to.


I used it and everyone else here did with no problems
Flash Access Detected is what it does change your version

so it is safe to use
what does this mean ? Backups your original index.dat with the filename vc_bak_index.dat
on the memory stick root.

if you have version 1.5 and need to fakeupgrade to 2.0 or 2.01, download the sxt version changer at sonyxteam.com

The reason it will show up as a "bad program" is because it has to access the flash memory to change the ver number. I run it, it works fine for me.

ok but what does Backups your original index.dat with the filename vc_bak_index.dat
on the memory stick root. mean?

If you have firmware 1.50
Use the SXteam version changer it has 2 folders copy to your PSP/Game/



if you don't have index.dat

Don't worry you don't need it.

I did not have it and it still installed good

After it installed it placed vc_bak_index.dat on my card.
and I did not have it before
