News/release from Torch:
Some new UMDs are detecting files in the ms0:/seplugins and ms0:/iso folders and causing problems, even deleting files from these folders.
This plugin will hide these folders in GAME mode so they can't be accessed.
To install, copy cfwblock.prx to ms0:/seplugins and make an entry in game.txt
e.g. ms0:/seplugins/cfwblock.txt 1

Ahh so the game developers are resorting to dirty tactics against cfw... I say this is custom firmwarfare
What games?
No problems here.
Is there a list we can start to tell the the scene about which games to this.
Most seplugins either enhance the XMB or games. I would say that next to none of the seplugins can be directly linked with anything that can not be classified as users legally manipulating the hardware and software that he or she owns.
I have every right to turn my psp's hardware and software into a control unit for my house's thermostat.
Sony may soon find their precious PSP abandoned by everybody not just by people that want better games.
This could really backfire on Sony and the devs because if umd's start f*****g with your files people will just swap to iso's
is this even legal? what the **** sony?
let me make one thing clear, this has little / nothing to do with sony. it´s the developers of the game on the UMD
dissidia supposively removes cwcheat and one other thing when you choose ¨ms install¨
WHAT ???
games are checking the seplugins / iso folders ?
ok, thats a dirty trick
but DELETING stuff ???????????
if this is true, i see bad times comin up for $ony
which games uses this method, cause all i dont have problem with all games that i have played
I think both, Djmax Black Square and Djmax Fever come with some kind of protection, don't know exactly what it is
I knew this would happen eventually, but why delete plugins? why not delete the ISO folder itself? According to Sony's fws there's no reason for it to be there.
If this keeps up, these Blocker apps are really going to come in handy. Good work Torch.
nope. it didn't remove it when I installed it. and I tested it with all 3 install sizesQuote:

I'm guessing this will be used most on games with online features, like that cheat homebrew for Socom, i'd kinda agree if it was just to remove online cheating
