New Sony PSPs to Have Downgrade Protection Built in

[tallica]

Lol this is hilarious! Remember how the TA-082 psps where supposed to be impossible to downgrade?

[Emeriastone]

I really don't think there is something as a "non-downgradeable" PSP at this time. From what I've seen I don't know if it's possible for ANY company to make hardware and software that can't be exploited. We'll just have to wait and see.

[Paradok]

When it says "built right into them," I assume that they mean hardware-wise. We're still having trouble with the TA-82+ motherboards, so I don't see why new hardware modifications wouldn't also give the homebrew community trouble. I don't see this as something to laugh at, personally.

But yeah, hopefully Sony is just hyping up another firmware that's going to be cracked. Their PR department is obviously run by a bunch of chimps; I suppose their other departments might not be much more intelligent.

Yay! New firmware by Friday! Great, I hope we get a 4.xxOE-A soon.

Yeah
I don't think this 'Downgrader protection' will last long

of course it wont last long. we have just as experienced coders hacking the psp as sony do developing it.

They could easily prevent us from downgrading.
Decrease the size of the flash below 16 megs and 1.50 would no longer fit.

That would mean that future firmware versions would be limited too, not happening.
