Another Reason For Sony To Kill Off Homebrew

[super_hoops1967]

yeah i was looking in the psphacking101.com forums and apparently someones cracked it so that it runs for longer than 10mins.

sony had to lay off thousands of jobs just before christmas because other departments WERENT making money, only the ps2 was making a profit for them!

i only use the iso loaders so i can test the games out e.g i'm glad i tested out pro evo 5 because on the game.uk.com website it says that it has the master league on it but when i tested it, it doesnt have the master league so i have saved myself wasting £35 there. i own 7legal games and i'm going to be ordering 2 more tomorrow when i get paid.

ps2 can be modded to run any iso, hell you don't even have to worry about firmware updates, so if this is the most profitable branch of sony atm then piracy doesn't hurt sony it only makes it more successfull(otherwise ps2 would be at bottom when considering profit). So the same argument can be used with psp, due to sony's continous firmware updates it going to shoot itself in the foot not iso. :O

PS. i don't do piracy i just test, that just a lame excuse.

[super_hoops1967]

testing them aint lame, just saves me money on renting the games. if i'd gone out and bought half the games i wanted to without testing i'd be very very very pissed off because a lot of them are just cut down versions which it doesnt say in the descriptions for the game when there selling it!

[super_hoops1967]

if the iso loader wasnt around then i doubt that sony would be doing the updates as much because i dont think they give a $#@! about the homebrew scene or snes/megadrive emu's. they'd only do them to add more feature's like the web browser and the rss etc.

i'm not too bothered about the iso loaders because i wont have them on my psp from the middle of next week anyway because i'm getting fight night round 3 which needs 2.6 on it.

lol i hate to admit i have a hdd from final fantasy xi and i just installed a memory card version of hdadvance, pop in my action replay, boot it via the mediaplauyer and my trusty usb stick and bam, isos

also my local and ONLY rental place has squat in games so i discovered winhiip ... you dont even need an original ps2 disc anymore, just an empty hdd slot on your pc, and some knowledge

tho i dont use it often, and loading hdadvance with usb ar evo cheat device is tedious, its pretty cool for testing games when you cant rent em , i dont have anything on it as of now but i thought it was interesting to post, with this method the only thing youd need to buy is a hdd (winhiip can convert any hdd to work with ps2 as long as its 40gb +) and action replay max evo .. the rest is all free

but i dont pirate i do just test games because id have to go to gamestop 30 m,iles away to buy any good games that my crappy rental store wouldnt have

For all the whiners out there, here is a proposed solution:

1)The program has built into a UMD ripper, which NEEDS to be executed to play the GTA ISO.
2)After all that jive and editing the ISO like MPH says, its good to go.
3)Before executing the ISO on a 1.5 the GTA UMD MUST be inserted to play the loaded ISO.

Would that be a good solution? Would that get you all to stop crying about how bad ISOs are?

Edit:

if the iso loader wasnt around then i doubt that sony would be doing the updates as much

That is outright BS. The instant the exploit was discovered to allow homebrew, way before there existed ISO loaders, Sony threw the water on that fire. I have been part of the scene since its infancy; Sony has been persistent at getting rid of homebrew, even before ISO loaders existed.

Iso loader rules and it wont kill the scene.
