Another Reason For Sony To Kill Off Homebrew

[snakezinc]

Thank you for this great program. I own GTA and now I can play it but the only thing I am dieing to know is if Ad Hoc works?

The amount of pro-piracy members replying in this thread is staggering and a little sad.

I'm against game piracy but I would love a way to play my Socom UMD on 1.5, I just wonder if daxter and syphoon filter umds will work. Because I want those games terribly bad but dont want to update.

well, as my bud IndianCheese 's sig says:
"1 out of 6 PSP owners bought Untold Legends...and the other 5 Illegially downloaded it....STOP UMD PIRACY"

Thats stupid, I bought the game and so did 2 of my friends did. I know dont anyone who illegally downloaded it. Most of my friends just passed it up. Because it had no storyline what so ever.

1st to answer a couple of points raised in the thread:
Someone asked:

Did Sony ever support homebrew for any console?

<erm> yes - Net Yaroze on PSone, Yabasic on PS2... Some halfway decent games came out of Net Yaroze - and most were given away free on the front of Official Playstation Magazine. In fact "Terra Incognita" (recently(?) released as PSP homebrew) was created using Net Yaroze on PS1 - I remember playing it from the aforementioned cover disk.

Further on Ender PSP says:

actually the console is cheaper than its manufacture costs

Nah, it isn't, manufacturing costs for ANY electronic device are peanuts - no more than $100 per unit in PSPs case. The real cost is in the R&D - so the first x number of units will make a "loss" but once past that no. Sony are raking it in (and I'd guess that Sony are already WELL past that no.) - this is one reason the cost of consoles comes down later on in life. Well, anyway, that's how I read it...

The only reason I would play games from ISO is to check them out prior to buying them - I've played two games from ISO - burnout Legends & Starwars Battlefront. Love Legends so went and bought it, Battlefront didn't do it for me, so I didn't. I took a chance with GTA and bought it without testing, and, in this case am glad I did.

With my PS1 and PS2 I NEVER bought a game without checking out a demo beforehand. I REALLY miss this on the PSP - c'mon guys give us an "official PSP magazine" with demos on the front - or create signed demos which we CAN run from memory stick... AND/OR include demos of future games on current disks...

Finally I have noticed ONE demo out there - published on a UMD movie disk - a cutdown/customised version of WipeOut Pure on the Stealth movie disk...

WELL.. here is my input honestly.. I deploy A LOT.. and my PSP is ALWAYS with me.. instead of carrying all my games I have them ISO backed up to my HD at home.. ( well i did until i got 2.0 ) so that i didnt have to drag all my disk at once and keep track of who wanted to borrow what game....... also.. i knida like having stuff run off of the stick.. it saves a but load of battery power........ now haveing something that runs isos on 2.0 would rock.. since i don't wanna downgrade to 1.5 again... ( loose my backgrounds.. web.. stuff like that....) now.. if he makes an ISO loader for 2.0... good.. more power to him.. and to you people who keep whinning that ohhh it will create more piracy and bs.. well so what.. if he dosent do it.. someone else will and for that reason ... so just let it be... let MPH do what they gotta do.. so the rest of us can appreciate it and move on
