    Default Solution so homebrew can prevail, and piracy still be shot down.

    All of you know this but, Sony is trying to solve piracy problems by requiring firmware updates to play certain games. But, when shooting down piracy, they are also shooting down homebrew. This is a possible solution that would allow homebrew to stay alive while piracy gets killed.

    Sony would sell an alternate memory stick that is too small to fit ISO's onto. The memory stick would act as a key, unlocking the firmware encryption on the PSP so it can run homebrew. The memory stick would be highly encrypted so you couldn't try to simulate it on a regular memory stick. Programming software would be included with the memory stick to allow us to easily make our own games.

    THAT WAY WE ONLY ILLEGALLY DOWNLOAD NINTENDO GAMES!!!! MARKETING GENIUS!

    not a bad idea, though i'm not sure sony likes homebrew either.

    They don't.
    You don't need to know my mental status. You probably don't want to, either.

    I dont see why people freak out about PSP ISOs and piracy, when computer piracy is 100x worse and everyone seems to talk about it without even thinking twice.

    I think piracy is a trend for $ony and one they rely on to give them some extra market penetration when entering a new playing field, ie. handheld.

    Not sure that would work. Sony lose money per PSP unit sold, they can only get their money back games.Also what would stop memory stick swapping, someone will definity be able to code an app that boots from the encypted MS and then hot swap to an standard MS.

    my idea is: people (homebrew developerz) would send homebrew EBOOT(s) to $$$ony and they would sign it so it would work on any firmware. but then people would probably send viruses to sony or decrypt the signed EBOOT and get some kind o' spoofer and sign EVERY homebrew EBOOT. just an idea tho.

    P.S. about the sony mem stick thing, people would just say to themselves: "Hey, i dont HAVE to use sony's gay anti-iso memstick" and piracy would continue.

    STOP PIRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
