Legality of Custom Gameboots Produced with Sony's Leaked Tools

[GeEkPiE]

not wise to use custom gameboots, i used one in Xflash and my precious 1.5 is now bricked coz the screen freezes before you try to play any form of media

[Mr.Denny]

I use eloader. Pretty safe so far.

Crap. They shut down my custom gameboot thread.

And GeekPie, did you have custom firmware installed? If so, start up your PSP with the HOLD switch down.

[Ichijoe]

Now so far, nobody is selling the gameboots they're making, they're just giving them away to people who want them and who are brave enough to flash it to their firmware, and only for that purpose because these pmfs only work on 1.50 PSPs, and won't work with 2.71 Devhook.

Well you're wong there Mate!
I have no problems useing the Claw Slash *.pms (or whatever it's called), on my v1.50, though Devhook 0.46 W/Firmware v2.71.
Perhaps you didn't install it correctly you do have to rename the new File to match the One you'll latter delete inside ms0:/dh/2.xx/flash0/vsh/resource/

Atlest that's what works for me...

No matter what people the web master of this site wich is Wraggster can do what ever he wants with it. That is like saying if you own a house and others come over and they don't like the idea you don't have a indoor swimming pool, you have to get one! Come on people this is his site and we have no right to debate on him to change it. He is trying to do in his interstest that is best for the community (us) and still keep on a legal scene. Does this mean I agree with everything that is done on this site?

A: Of course not!

Why is it that any discussion about ISO's is prohibited but a system that is still distributing by Nintendo GBA is completeley legal to talk about. Now I bet if we go to the GBA scene in the dcemu section that any talk about pirating GBA games is prohibeted. Its like saying WTF! This is retarted. But no matter how much these rules don't make sense its always in Wraggsters decision to choose on what he likes to be hosted on his site. After all we are not forced to come here, and we can freely go to any other PSP site as we please. Please don't try to make people do things they don't wish to do.

P.S. Wraggster and all the forum moderators are great but I do believe that a bit of revision on what is discussed here should be fixed.

Yes yaustar I believe I have seen sony's game division losses somewhere around 2billion,question is where did they lose the money it certainly wasn't on the psp production alone.Most likely alot is from ps3 R&D but I will research this a little more thouroughly.By the way I payed for several umds but also use homebrew, all of this is becoming a little grey.

Again, I am referring to EVERYONE that has a PSP, not just one or two individuals. Sony's losses of the games division can be due to any number of things and piracy on the PSP *could* be one of them. It is certainly not helping the matter.

The Claw Slash is not a custom gameboot, but rather a ripped pmf from a UMD Game, and those have been written to support all firmware, meaning they'll work on 2.71, but I'm talking about the custom gameboots that this thread is complaining about that the average person makes with the leaked UMD Tools, that are unsigned but can run on 1.50 because of the lack of security. Now, they'll work on 1.50 emulated devhook.

I agree yaustar, piracy is definetly hurting the psp.Do you consider using emulators and old roms piracy though?Who knows maybe everybody who downloaded umd tools got a free rootkit as a bonus!
