Jungle-Cat,

Sony is practically forced to prevent homebrew for us. If they allowed homebrew they'd get hassled by customers everytime their psp bricks. And the bad side of the homebrew scene, the ISO emulation has Sony scared for loss of sales. How would Sony moniter the parental control levels on Homebrew? They'd get sued for not restricting when a child downloads a super nintendo emulator and is playing a game with gore in it. The parent gets angry, and sues. There goes the homebrew.

Don't get me wrong. I'd love it if Sony came out with a sandbox mode for the PSP, with limited support for system functions, carefully preventing access to kernal and other vital functions, but I don't see how they could possibly do this without hassling and loss of funds from some estranged parent.

Sony's smart. I'm sure they realize all the features that have been incorporated in current homebrew, and are making a todo list for upcoming firmware. They want to make money by adding device support like gps for consumers to buy, but along with these features I'm sure they'll slip in others that the community has collectively been demanding.


Looking back, perhaps I got a little off topic. :P

I for one enjoy the psp games library
my most played game is
Japanese initial d streets @ 30 hours very fun multi player
Daxter = lotsa fun
Street fighter alpha max 3 = OG beat down
Wipe out pure = Crisp good music
Virtua Tennis = MULTI PLAYER!!!!
Lumines = 420
loco roco = ludes anyone?

i will admit the RPG selection is VERY WEAK considering that sony has usually delivered a strong RPG base.
Sega has put out some good games, EA has put out nothing original or of interest, just really bad ports of ps2/xbox games, Konami hello anywhere? Konami?
Capcom always aims to please with its classics, hopefully we will see a metal slug anniversery and ghost and gobknobblers is on the way
as for the GTA'S they are wonderful entertaining ports, but rockstar should try and bring something original to the table, not just another game to port out to every other console.

I for one WOULD LOVE TO SEE A POKE-MON GAME FOR PSP!!!!

LET THE POKE MON PSP REVOLUTION BEGIN ONE POKE MON AT A TIME! <^_^> PIKA CHOO , just kidding.

I'm sure we have friends on the inside,Sony as a corporation just can,t publically support homebrew otherwise what would be the need for those expensive licenses they sell to their developers.

I have managed find these files over a torrent page...

...I found something a little more interesting however while looking for this, a beta version of Gangs Of London, I had no idea just how serious illegal games has gotten and how quick they are released over the internet.

To keep on topic a bit, yes this can be used mainly for making our own gameboots so expect to see new designer gameboots around now ...

You could not make a UMD out of this software so to be honest I think it is kinda safe for sony.

Yeah i saw them posted on the newsgrops i usenot much use to anyone really.But with this 2.71 been decrypted and Gangs of london been leaked.$ONY are not having a good month,I bet some p45's were handed out at $ony yesterday lol.

[NoQuarter]

What!!? 2.71 was decrypted withTHIS!!!

[Adduc]

I thought the recently found flaw for kernal access allowed the eventual decryption of 2.71, is this not true?

[BL4Z3D247]

no, Dark_AleX did it with his 2.71 decrypter

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

Thxs Blazed for explaining...

[BL4Z3D247]

no problem eggman, and adduc the kernel access led to the 2.5/2.6 downgrader, i think devhook or the custom fw led to the decryption of 2.71 but i could be wrong
