PSP Homebrew Scene Going Illegal With Custom Firmwares and Devhook ?

[Kaiser]

Right. So you just ban everyone who posts the word ISO and stick your fingers in your ears and pretend it doesn't exist. Even though it's been proven time and again in this thread that there are legitimate LEGAL benefits to DevHook's ISO loading feature.

LOL

We'd never ban someone for mention the word ISO. The legal benefits it may have do not justify the obvious illegal one. Backing up your own UMD? Please. You know as well as I do that allowing such discussion would benefit piracy more then anything.

So when the PSP is officially declared dead this time next year, not because of piracy, but because of a tiny, underwhelming software library and too much competition from the big home consoles and the DS, and they start pulling UMD games off the shelves because they just aren't selling - what do you think you're going to do with you obsolete Sony PSBrick?

More homebrew of course. Piracy may not be the sole reason the PSP's death looks so plausible at the moment but it certaainly helps. Thats a very weak argument.

The only thing I hate more than people who intentionally pirate current, instore games - are people who download them, and then run around like a saint claiming they don't and passsing judgement on others who do.

Giant bunch of hypocrites, the lot of you.

You assume too much. Your in the wrong forum if you think we're a bunch of lyers and thieves.

because its a violation of IP... and companies get bitchy about their intelectual property. Posting modified content is completely illegal. google Tecmo and the Ninja Hackers for proof of that.

Ok, old games (like NES) aren't new and the companies making them aren't making money off them. But there is still a big market for these games.

If I were to download a PSP iso, Gamestop or Ebgames wouldn't get my money from selling me this game.
If I were to download Super Mario Bros. and use it on a PSP emulator (and I don't own this game) then Gamestop or Ebgames won't get my money from selling me this game.

Roms and PSP isos are pretty much the same, so stop tricking yourself into thinking isos are this horrible thing.

Emulators could be considered illegal since some use bios. How many of you actually own a Neo Geo or Neo Geo CD?

There are so many advantages to using isos rather than UMDs.

You are soooo wrong on this, im sorry. But Nintendo ALWAYS re-releases its old properties. I mean they re-release dozens of SNES games on the Nintendo DS/GBA all the time. Even classic games from the NES era have seen new life on the portable system. Hell their Nintendo Wii will offer us their entire library of Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 and even third party games like SEGa for download. Research before trying to prove a point.
