With the Release of the Downgraders is the PSP Modchip Not Needed ?

[slayer2psp]

sense you can run any firmware on a 1.50 there is no need for the chip devhook 44 rules

at the moment there is no need.... but sony will continue to try to kill devhook, etc... i am surprised that hackers/coders have been able to decrypt 2.71! Looks like sony has no answer for us yet.

Im my opinion, the modchip will still sell cause it should make both downgrading and custom firmware a lot safer to use, so more people will be willing to try it.

Well when the sony emu comes out the mod chip will have it along with it's homebrew.
Will devhook have that?

I think that as soon as the ps3 comes out there will be a surge of need for the U.P. Sony will be using a series of checks between the ps3 and the psp to verify the legitimacy of the PSP's firmware before allowing interaction between the two consoles. Even if we have the firware emu'd perfectly from the stick they can use things like seek times or various other task calls from the firmware to verify that it is or isn't on the flash chip. In this case the only way to go will be a U.P. runnning 1.5 and a the PSP running updated sony firmware.

PS3?! Who in their right mind would buy one of these overpriced chunks of plastic? The PSP on it's own is FAR better

On topic I believe that yes, the UP is still in it's early days and right now not many of us PSP users need them. But never say never...
