More Info about the New 2.5 Exploit

[Zaibach333]

does anyone else here think that we need to do something else for homebrew?

if we keep rendering around sony's patches we wont be able to efficiently run games at top performance. *say by version 4.0, lol

I know this is hardly an easy or maybe even plosable task but perhaps we should focus again on how commercial games and update folders are being run.

or what would be <i>really</i> nice would be to have the proper encryptor.

I'm not posting very thought-out possibilities but I am very worried about the future of homebrew if we keep upgrading.

my thoughts exactly cos although downgraders rock it cant be seen as a permanent solution, surely?

[caythos]

I agree with vincesecuricor2005, I only upgraded to 2.0 when i knew i could step back if i had to, and if GTA turned out bad which it didn't, but i don't think downgrading is a good solution, we can't go up and down every day, not indefinatly, and the only other option is to stop buying new games, for a system that cost me $250 i don't think that is a good option either.

I may be dumb but it seems a bit idiotic to want to go to the trouble of downgrading your PSP to stick on crappy emmulations like ancient nintendo and crappy doom. Would it not be better to stick on more up to date decent games????

A little birdie has told me that Sony are thinking of puting a 50GB hardrive in the PSP in future models. Check the link. Anyone know anything more about this?

that aswell as another joystic or some other features, that was on a rumor post a few months ago *wraggster*

and hotrod... only a douchebag would neglect the magesty of older games. they're the same exact thing as games today. with few minor exceptions on the highest end consoles, the only thing that has been improved is the graphics (and at a sacrifice to the gameplay I might add).

now you would have to show me a pretty impressive game to give up the classics.
and, if you arent a side scrollers, adventure, or rpg type of gamer I not only feel sorry for you but understand why you wouldnt like the old games. I personally dont see myself glued into playing a game that isnt simple and fun to operate or has a crappy story.

[Zaibach333]

to add to that, I'm not saying psp games are bad.

but the only games that I find myself playing over and over again are wipeout, gta, and bfII.

that, or many numerous super nintendo games

wat u doin on a homebrew/emulation site if you dont like it????????

[hotrod]

What old stuff is good then? I'm big into first person shooter, so logically doom etc. I'm also a sucker for graphics and gore... anything for me? Nothing like the tripe I used to play on SNES and gameboy please!

PS is the joystick and hardrive thing going to happen anytime soon by anyones reckoning? Is it worth holding out investing in a curent PSP?

u dont sound like you will ever get into retro gamin to be honest especially if graphics (wat bout GAMEPLAY!!!) is your only criteria lol
