Sure why not....

This happened before, and will probably happen again, unfortunately (although I hope it will never happen again). Sad.
Anyone actually having the psp trojan should send it to major antiviruses. That would help.

Here's one conspiracy for ya, the virus might be done by people contracted by Sony (with plausible deniability of course) to curb piracy and homebrew.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony announces a new "virus-proof" or "virus-fix" firmware upgrade in the near future, oh, maybe a few weeks from now? ;)

I doubt sony would do something like this,too much liability.We can always start checking our eboots with devhook or the new psp emulator when it's released.
We all knew this would happen again, at least it wasn't more widespread.

Just to be sure... you have to actually copy and execute the virus on the psp, right?

bricking your PSP = You're ****ed.

You're ****ed means as much as your PSP is broken

Shouldn't this be called malicious software instead of a virus? It doesn't replicate itself does it?

Could thins thing be worked into anything else than psp programs like game saves or even the games themselfs?

Would you guys stop saying Sony "did this". They would not be so stupid and risk lawsuits from individuals and all the bad press to brick a few PSPs.

I'd like to get back to the question of "you have to actually transfer it to the PSP and execute it for it to brick" as none of the replies or the original report exactly state how it happens... like will it automatically export to your PSP when you connect it, and then kill it, or do you have to be dumb enough to do it yourself?

It would have to write to flash as soon as you execute the Eboot. It would just be like executing any homebrew app from PSP. Game > Memory Stick > The homebrew with the virus > press X > wait a few seconds > Bricked Psp > Cry .

Damn ******* whoever made this. Best way to be safe is to let other people test and report new homebrew, which is kinda selfish, but one of the only ways to be safe.

Dumb enough to do it yourself. Take that from someone who was helping to test it... :eek:

Not that it worked when I had it. I had "SDL-TEST-4". He was trying to get it working, I should have known it was suspicious, especially as he said he tested it himself and it worked. If anyone wants several work in progress versions to keep a lookout, let me know :rolleyes:

My heart goes out to his victim in IRC, and got bricked.

Damn Zarp2000.

That is a very good question... Can this be embedded somehow into a regular homebrew app or emulator? Or is that not likely? Unfortunately now we all have to be very careful and worry about "bad" eBoots. This is very sad but I guess its to be expected.

i dont get it . why ? what is the point ? havent they(the virus creators) got anything better to do ?:confused: :mad:

Maybe we can use the PSP Emulator to test homebrews w/o having to worrie about brincking our PSP's... let's hope that emulator realy exists...

I hate losers who actually spend their life in front of a computer, creating virus to screw people they're never going to meet. It takes a really immature loser.

Wow, this sucks. Ya report the prick. Hope it doesn´t spread to quick and I hope no more pop up(at least for a while). Damn, now I´m going to have to run pspsafe(psp-condom) before starting to have fun.
October 9th, 2006, 16:26
gotmilk0112

what if its another "fake"? like way back in 2005 someone reported a "psp virus" that "changes the color of your background every month" but that is what the psp does by default.

just follow these words and you wont get any virus's:

If its too good to be true....it probably is. and will be a virus.

why do people do this 4, 4 a quick thrill or what? i dnt get it. immature lil 12 yr olds thats all it is

This is very, very sad. Some fool is trying to break all of our PSPs.
I only download stuff from DCEmu, though, so I won't ever get this.
There is a newer version of PSafeP here, v1.2, which has a few bug fixes.

Thanks for warning us! :)

Whoever made it must have decent PSP coding knowledge. I heard that writing to flash is quite hard. Maybe its a respectable coder who developed this.

Who knows.

Well it would have been the first time a decent coder did something similar to this...On the DS, Darkfader released a similar program that bricked the DS! And he was one of the first people to run unsigned code on the DS.

I hope everyone is aware, and I hope this sort of malicious behaviour doesn't continue!

Would it be possible to compare his I.P address to other people who have submitted past work on your site? Im eager to find out who this is and tell him how much of a wankstain he is
