Boot Protector V1: Password Protect Your PSP

***wraggster*** · November 13th, 2006, 23:28

News/release from azy_xbox123 of a Lua App that allows you to password protect your PSP:

I would advise upgrading to 2.71SE to get the full experience of this!

Boot Protector V1
-----------------
Consult your firmware folder then the readme within or the forum discussion thread for help!

Changelog
---------
1. USB disabled by high demand and higher security!
2. At the MOMENT I am unable to encrypt the files but instead I have hidden the password file and obscured the file type!
3. Slight GFX Update
4. Various bugfixes including the proper exiting on 2.71SE

EXPECT MORE UPDATES SOON!

If someone knows of a tutorial for encrypting lua files then please post here!

Again default password coded in is: 34903
Default password written in the hidden file: 55555

How would this work exactly if you started from a cold boot? Could you not bypass this program from doing so?

Wut if they just remove the memory card since its just a lua app? or does the lua app install it to the flash of SE-B?

Nice to see someone implimenting this idea

Yet again the homebrew scene is doing something $ony should have done...

Keep up the good work

This is really good, but really bad at the same time, its good cause it autoboots on your psp startup (if you have custom firmware and autoboot on) and is a password to start using you PSP, meaning if a PSP noob got hold of it, they wouldnt be able to use your PSP. However, If someone who knows a bit about the PSP comes along, they would probably be able to get around this protection in 2 ways;
1) take the memorystick out then turn on (if theres no eboot to load, then autoboot wont work+straight to XMB)
2) press the home button, then click yes (thats right, home button isnt disabled...yet, but i think its planned for a future release)
