Games That Need The Update (1.51 or 1.52)

ah, so it loads the ISO of the ripped UMD that's sored in a VERY EXPENSIVE memory card duo :P

I'd rather pay for the actual UMDs than pay for a memory card duo that costs thrice the price of the PSP itself :P

Game: $39 [P]
PSP: $280 [P]
2GB Memory Card Duo: $740 [S]

(the prices are the ones I've seen in stores close to me[S] / I paid for in another purchase[P])

2gb is no where near $740. You can grab them online for $400 or less. Still it is way to expensive. But you can allways just take a game off the card and put a new one on. After you play enough games it will have payed for itself in no time.

Loaders are the only thing between me losing my 1.0 psp or playing new games like Coded Arms that require the update.

don't hate the player , hate the game? :-)

Anyway , I am also against warez , but I can't stand Sony not letting us to use emulators and homebrew.

I am so happy I have a GP32 ...

Update: Bought another PSP 1.5 , and solved the problem until they start checking for 1.5x or 2.0 firmware.
Playing star soldier right now ! It rocks ! ! ! !

I actually think Sony wants the system to be hacked...as well as homebrew run on it. But having to stand in a legal stance...don't want to give that image. I'm sure as far as the warez are concerned...they are definatly against it. But think about it. So far, this system seems to be the best (IMHO) handheld emulation machine. (GP32 is nice as well). With so many consumers enjoying retro gaming these days...that would only boost sales for the PSP. But because in everything, legal issues begin to raise their ugly hands up...they have to halt it to a degree. I think deep down, all the homebrew and stuff helps them, as well as other companies see what the psp system can do...without paying for the labor and equipment. It helps them see what a monster their PSP can become..all the while they claim to be against homebrew. I think...one way or the other..2.00 will be cracked eventually to allow homebrew..or a mod chip made available. its not impossible, just like the 1.50 version wasn't impossible. It just takes time and individuals willing to take up a good challenge. Either way, I think deep down, Sony wants that to happen. Flame me all you want, but its what I think. They want to look like the nice guys, all the while leaving bread crumbs behind them. It really helps them in the long run anyway...including in sales.

Takean-I WOULD'VE agreed with you because of the way 1.51 and 1.52 works but have you operated 2.0 yet??? you can't even open the homebrew apps! it immediatly says "Corrupted Data." I dont know whether to agree with you or completely disagree with you because you do make some strong points in your arguement whether some of us agree with me or not.
