Will the PSP-3000 Defeat Homebrew?

[maxipower90]

with all these new PSPs its gonna get more confusing lol thats all but like the posts above have stated, its only a matter of time. i got my 3rd PSP 1000, lol i never got a slim and at the stage i bought my 3rd one it was the same price as a slim.

im happy with 1000

Nothings impossible.

Any possible 100% guaranteed secure 3000 will surely be a tempting target
for many Crackers/Hackers seeking fame & glory.

Will the PSP 3000 be hacked I'm sure it will, hopefully though not for years to come. We really need developers to become more confident of the PSP and homebrew does not help that.

It looks to me Sony is tying up all the loose ends on the PSP, with all official Sony phat batteries discontinued and the Slim getting the TA-88 v3 motherboard that stops pandora for now.

to be honest any machine can be hacked. jus a matter of time. Now this new psp is going to be a challenge...no doubt. In fact i doubt they will find a way to hack it because they are def learning from their past mistakes. whats the last OFW that was hacked???

This new psp can be a huge success for developers who want to make new games and hope for it to sell good.

like all other consoles...it will be hacked eventually...

the more big coorporation guys talk about anti-piracy

the more i laught at them...the only thing coming out of

their mouth is more money...well your going to have to

work harder for it ...sorry...ha ha ha :rofl:...instead of

fighting the homebrew community,try to be creative for

a change....and stop crying like a baby about the

money you didnt make...

That's not necessarily the right attitude. I don't blame Sony for wanting to stop piracy - it's an unfortunate side-effect that legitimate homebrew hobbyists are targeted by extension. Sony has stated before that their problem is not with homebrew - it's with the rampant piracy on the system.

You can laugh all you want because some day if you want to play games you will just have to make them in your own homebrew console made of card box.

Imagine everyone making a copy of Final Fantasy XII when it came out...if SquareEnix didn't make their money on the game you wouldn't be able to play the new one that they are making.
Why? Because you didn't return their investment.
When you buy a game you are not just giving the money for your new game that you just bought, you also are assuring your future game like Final Fantasy XIII.
If you wanna see a GOOD example try looking to what happened to SQUARE PICTURES...that's right, since it wasn't a hit like they thought it would be, they had to shut down the studio.
All this because they invested their money...but the people didn't went to see their movie or at least that many people (I didn't like it my self...).

I love homebrew!
But I hate piracy!!!

See guys, at least someone here have a brain!
Well said

on the psp, the hacking was all done on software, not on hardware.. so its a looking situation.. just a simple rearranged codes or even addons might do the job... like the older models

Don't we get this all the time, like "OMG the new motherboard will stop homebrew" Which it doesn't.

Wonder how long it will take for a m33 CFW for this "PSP-3000" :P

[Veskgar]

The ability to revert to an unprotected version of the firmware, and later the ability to install completely custom pirate firmware has enabled some owners to play pirated PSP games downloaded from the internet.

The device will probably come equipped with a new battery pack and reboot system that renders the previous “Pandora” attack obsolete.

Man, Wraggster calling M33 firmware custom pirate firmware is really kind of insulting and harsh don't you think?

And then to downplay the ingenuity of the Pandora method to make PSP's homebrew-enabled by calling it an "attack" is also really harsh.

Considering the guys behind Pandora and CFW and all of the hard work, dedication, perseverance, brilliance, and sacrifice put forth to make the PSP homebrew scene so great, I think that is a great display of why so many coders have abandoned the PSP.

Their work is not appreciated and is even demonized. Why? Because of emulators? Give me a break. Emulators are always one of the more popular kinds of homebrew. Those involved with M33 and Pandora condemn and try to dissuade against using their stuff for pirating.

This is sad. I guess this could be the end of the fast-fading PSP homebrew scene. Nobody is going to come out with anymore emulators and the PSP 3000 will be impossible to get CFW on....

Well, I was planning on buying at least 3 PSP 3000's for myself and family, however, if they block custom firmware I will not be purchasing them.
