does anybody get the impression that sony wernt initially going to allow your own videos on it but so many people bought it for that and the custom directory and file names went public too quick for them to stop it so they couldnt remove it as there would be an outrage off everyone....because thats the only reason i saw for the silly file names maybe you where only ment to be able to download there content ....or at least that was there idea

does anybody have any idea if the jap models instructions included them directory names and that

Well I have the max media video converter which came out right around launch.I don't know if this is a licensed product but if it is that means sony intended people to know about the vids.Cause sony blocked the release of the 3rd party keyboard by not giving the dev's of it some particular code.
Pretty odd naming system on those psp vids though

Thank you for that post and confirmation. I was really curious about that. That would be much more convenient than the current naming system and file placement.

I think you are right. Sony definitely had a download service planned or in mind which has obviously been incredibly delayed or put off. The same can be said about the GAME folder. We certainly utilize that plenty with homebrew but I wonder what SONY had in mind for it. I can't help but think that homebrew has shown SONY up and they went back to the drawing board many times after seeing the accomplishments of homebrew.

AFAIK, they complained about 1 devhook fix package which contained a copyright file... One package!, they did NOT issue a cease and decist for DevHook Development. Why do people read things into news reports that aren't there?

If you compare what has been achieved by homebrew (a running N64 emu for instance) it kind of puts $ony to shame

I wonder if they even saw this potential?

I doubt we'll ever find out what the GAME folder was truly intended for....

The file SONY claimed is not made by BOOSTER.
But, the file was uploaded on "PSP software" that was the only place BOOSTER uploaded his file.
(Because of the system of the uploader, I cannot tell who uploaded the illeagal file.)

"PSP software" was closed.
So, BOOSTER cannot update his DEVHOOK?
Yes, I think.
"PSP software" was renewed to "PSPnfo".
I believe he will upload the updated files on it.

Well, maybe the PSOne games will be EBOOTS and automatically download to the GAME folder. We keep calling Sony's PSOne plans an "emulator" but it may not be that at all. The newer firmware could have the needed files (PRX's, codecs, etc.) to run the PSOne games in eBoot form.

I think that is a likely scenario regarding SONY's PSOne on PSP plans.
