Loco Roco, but y no homebrew?

[AvengedSevenfold Fan]

Is the Loco Roco demo that you can download a flash game? It's compatable with 2.71, so y isn't other homebrew? can you use loco roco as an exploit?

[Video_freak]

no. its digitally signed by sony to work on the psp. we would need someone that works their to make a hack for us

[AvengedSevenfold Fan]

then lets all donate a dollar to bribe him with money to give us a hack! haha jk. but cant some hacker dude find a way to get that signature, or use something in the game as an exploit like i said before?

[Video_freak]

#1. I don't think a bribe would be enough (unless he could live off of it), because he would loose his job.
#2. If a hacker found the signature and used it, it would probably be illegal.
#3. An exploit could come along some day.

do you use emulators? have you downgraded? thats all illegal

[Video_freak]

its not illegal (unless you download the firmware dumps from the web)

[AvengedSevenfold Fan]

yes it is, either way you are copying the files. just like how it is just as illegal to burn a cd as it is to download it off the internet. plus, emulators are illegal

Emulators are not illegal and downgraders are not either. Neither of them use copyrighted files or bypassing protection.

[AvengedSevenfold Fan]

emulators require ISOs as games, right? (prepare to get this thread closed) downgrading requires the DOWNDATER folder, which is copyrighted. and illegal, which is why the easy downgrader by dark_alex is the "lite" version, because it doesnt have the DOWNDATER folder, which makes it legal.

[yaustar]

Precisely, the emulators and downgraders THEMSELVES are NOT illegal. The files to run on them may be.

Example: Visual Boy Advance Emulator for the PC is not illegal but if you download a ROM from the internet, the ROM itself is illegal but not the emulator.
