    Fanjita of the noobz team has had an interview on BBC World service radio.

    Listen to it here: Hacker teams unlock PSP or a link to an MP3 here.

    If you don't want to listen to it, I took the liberty of writing a transcript for it:

    Presenter: Computer hackers have appeared to have scored a strike in the battle against the industry giants. They’ve found a way to unlock Sony’s handheld games console, the playstation portable, or PSP. The PSP is sold with its own built-in software which is known as firmware. This controls how the console operates. The firmware “locks” many of the PSP’s capabilities so that enthusiasts can’t write their own programs for it. It also prevents the PSP from running pirated games or films. But now, inevitably you might say, hackers have found a way round the locks and controls. David Court, (Fanjita) professional programmer, part time hacker is among those who’ve unlocked the PSP. He joins us now from Edinburgh in Scotland. David Court, why did you want to do it?

    Fanjita: Well it’s quite simple. We were just frustrated by the fact that having bought this 200 pounds console, it wasn’t possible to do what we wanted with it.

    Presenter: But one of the reasons that these sort of limits are put on is to stop piracy, it’s to make sure that you only run games that are legitimately bought and paid for, for instance.

    Fanjita: Indeed and that is a very important thing to bear in mind. The aim here was definitely not to allow piracy of software. Working as a professional programmer myself, piracy is a thing that is quite dear to my heart. If I was to go around pirating software, then I’m going round pirating from my colleagues.

    Presenter: So you don’t see yourself as some sort of modern day digital pirate then?

    Fanjita: Absolutely not, absolutely not. The aim here was just to enable running of legitimate and personally developed software that would basically unlock the capabilities of the machine.

    Presenter: But hang on a minute, this is a machine that Sony have designed and invested lots of money into, don’t they have the right to restrict what you can and can’t on it?

    Fanjita: I don’t believe they have the right to restrict what you can do with a piece of equipment that you bought outright. If it was rented from them, then fair enough. But the fact that I’ve paid 200 pounds for a piece of electrical equipment that I then can only do what they tell me to do, that to me is frustrating.

    Presenter: But what’s the difference between that and the sort of agreements you sign when you buy a bit of software.

    Fanjita: Well, I think that’s the key difference, where’s the agreement, on the actual hardware? If there was an agreement like that, would people agree?

    Presenter: So, you’ve got this machine, you’ve unlocked it, what is it that you are now going to be able to do what the rest of us who have got them in their plain ordinary form can’t do?

    Fanjita: Well there is a whole wealth of things. It opens it up to this sort of “bedroom” industry of people churning out games, and all sorts of other creative things that they otherwise would not be allowed to do.

    Presenter: But why not use a computer then, because the PSP doesn’t even have a keyboard?

    Fanjita: That’s correct, but then again, most computers aren’t as portable. If you are sitting on a bus, it’s nice to be able to pop this thing out of your pocket and just play a simple game on it or something. More than that of course, there’s all sorts of other exciting applications that are opened up. For instance, there’s a guy that has written what’s effectively a Sat-Nav application for the PSP, that was something that was promised by Sony from the first day of the PSP. It took them about two years to come out with this thing, this guy beat them by about a year.

    Presenter: But I guess this is a bit like all the arguments that go on about the free software that you can, or can’t download from the web. It’s sort of about people’s intellectual property rights and sort of about what people can and can’t do with something they’ve bought. There are going to be fights like this over and over again aren’t there?

    Fanjita: Sure, sure, and I think it’s important for the industry to realize that restraining people in this sort of way, is something that they are going to object to.

    Presenter: Ok. David Court, Professional programmer, thanks very much indeed.

    pj1115 has released a new version of his applcation that keeps your fave movies away from prying eyes on the PSP:

    HideMedia (previously HideMov) is a PRX module for use with one of Dark_AleX's OE firmwares that stops the PSP's media menu's from finding any files until a button combination is pressed.
    When launched with the XMB, the module forces the PSP to be unable to find any files, so it just returns: "There are no xxxx's". When the button combination is pressed, the PRX lets the menus find you files again, and you can listen/see/watch your media at will!

    For extra security, you can re-disable the files with another button combination. With this utility, you can prevent people from rooting around your personal stuff with ease!

    Unfortunately, I'm unable to call this anything but a BETA. This is because it still doesn't work how I would like it to:

    - Write to the PSP's memory instead of the memory stick. Faster, more reliable. If you can help me with this, please give me a buzz: piers[dot]jones[at]gmail[dot]com.

    - The PSP cache'ing of files make an inconvenience. (See below). Again, if anyone can help me with this, drop me a line: piers[dot]jones[at]gmail[dot]com.

    Changes:

    HideMedia BETA II-
    - Now hides video (including VIDEO folder), music, photo, game (GAME, GAME150, GAME303, GAME310), Browser bookmarks, savedata (Warning: Unhide files before launching a UMD game or it won't be able to find them).
    - HOPEFULLY increased compatibility for older OE firmwares.

    Raf has once again updated his PSP Radio streaming app for the PSP:

    Heres whats new:

    New Features:

    (raf) Core: Added AUTOSTART option under USB, instead of it being its own option, and using up screenspace.
    (raf) Core: Better Suspend/Resume support.
    (raf) Core: Added Tell/Seek functions to the streams/decoding. Added support to resume to continue playing where it was before it went into suspend mode (localfiles).
    (raf) Core: Buttons can now be mapped. Look at PSPRadio.cfg for details. Changed the default mappings. SQUARE=CANCEL now. L+R cycle screens. (Button combinations are now also allowed).
    (raf) Core/Plugin/Version: Changed the interface to .15. Working on a revamped interface. (will be .2). TextUI uses the button mapping to remap buttons if the skin is configured to do so (look at SHOUTcastScreen.cfg for an example).

    Bug Fixes:

    (raf) Core: USB is now working again, thanks to AhMan's for the help.

    Known Bugs:

    (raf) Core: Static IP connections don't work correctly. Seems the gateway is not used as it should.
    (raf) Core: Module unlëading doesn't free up all memory correctly. Even though plugins can now be loaded/unloaded, the PSP can eventually crash as it runs out of memory (after loading/unloading enough times; even though I switched back and forth between the text and 3d UIs over 20 times, and everything worked fine).
