Sony Issue Cease and Desist Order For Devhook

[Physicist]

I see ok enough said about them then hehe.

When I bought my PSP I was thrilled at the capabilities of it. Along with everything else, the prospect of downloading fun-to-play demos and freeware games to keep me occupied in between the times when the commercial games need a rest. Bloody rubbish Sony they shouldn't have tried to stop us having homebrews.
What if Microsoft had said ur not allowed to have Mozilla? Or MSN instead of Windows Messenger?
What I wanted most of all was a PC that I could slip in my pocket. I'd have had it by now if the dingbats hadn't tried so hard to stop it.

This sucks that it's becoming illegal to host DevHook, but it's not stoping ppl from having it on their computers uploading it to LimeWire or uTorrent.


All this does is tempt me to go onto Sony's official forum and make an account named "DevHook" or "DeviceHook" wich ever.

This may well be the end for Devhook. Sony is a very influential company and if they really want to put a stop to devhook I'm afraid theres not we can do

The irony of it all is that I'd stopped buying games for my PSP and just used it for homebrew until I discovered that Devhook would let me play titles that required 2.xx firmware....

Perhaps if Sony also bothered to get some quality titles released instead of the constant slew of sequels and re-hashes - I work in a games store, and every week the new release schedule for PSP is as tedious as obvious as the last - except Loco Roco of course!

sony will never be able stop devhook from being download torrents, limewire and all the others

well its bad news....
but i think unless we get kernal access on 2.80 we will never gain access to the decryption methods, and never be able to emulate 2.80 anyway....

why am i blessed with this never ending optimism....?

2.80 has already been decrypted and dumped. DevHook just doesn't support it yet.

I'd not have bought a PSP if it wasn't for homebrew.

Sony are missing the point.

devhook is da best, i really can't imagine a psp without Devhook. stupid sony!!!! if they did allow us to use homebrew there sales of psp might go up, but if they stopped homebrew they didn't(like now) there sales would go up!!!!!
Sony sucks really bad!!!!!

Someone managed to decrypt firmware 2.80.
And it uses the same encryption key as 2.70 did, but 2.80 can not yet be emulated without reboot.bin file for 2.80

The only thing this is the end for, is downloading Devhook off of a website. It'll continue to get around.
