V2.0 Firmware Will Never Run Homebrew !!

[Zephyroth_drgs]

well, the problem is upgrading to 2.0 but anyone with 2 neurones will not do it,

the problem starts when must have games star to "force" install firmware 2.x, cuz u know, anyone with psp must play some like gran turismo, of final fantasy(hope it will come soon ) and then we got a big dilemma, play a great game or... what?

i dont know if a mod chip can fix it cuz is not loading a game the problem but, maybe something like a free firmware will do it

any way we spect great things from the homebrewers, crakers, hackers

lets hope the scene will never end

Personally I like 2.0.
The other thing you got to think about is how big will the fan base be for homebrew if it only runs on 1.5? I bet all new PSPs will have 2.0!
Coders will find a hack eventually. Nobody wants to develop for only the few who are on 1.5!

Like some of you are saying, IT IS POSSIBLE TO HACK. what your not understanding is IT WOULD TAKE A VERY VERY LONG TIME TO DO SO. It would take a large cluster of computers to do it and even then it would take a while.

Also as AES enycryption is the US (and other countries?) standard of encryption, brute force methods of cracking would be instantly terminated and the groups involved could easily be arrested.

It is mostly idiotic to try, cause you see your idea of illegal is based around "warez" and your little "isoz and romz" but **** with aes and your ****ing with national security. not somthing the US takes lightly. Dont even think about down playing that idea either. The only legal method of cracking is through exploits.

So my final point, Yes, It can be done through cracking 128 bit aes but No, it will not be done through brute force cracking of 128 bit aes. The idea is most idiotic in that you think it will be done by little groups and yet banks use similare security. Crack a PSP and you are potentially cracking into a government owned banks computer systems....

1. who are you?
2. All your info is old and Bull
3, Sony didn't rush the ****ing PSP. Nintendo Rush with there DS.

This isn't Microsoft dumb****. This is sony and they like to add crap to there consoles. And why in the world should a version 2 comeout first? Without the whole homebrew stuff going on with 1-1.5. What should they fix?? And yes you are a dumb**** when it comes to your "Oh I bRought a Psp from ebay bahha ha!11. Now noone will know I have version that can run hombrw bahaha duhh!11112" There are new games that I know you will get. And most of the new ones will force you to upgrade. So stfu.

Your a total newb that needs to go back to math.

Oh and the SP2 pack does work. But thats if you stop going to Warez and porn sites.

We had some problems with that kid over at the psphacks.net forums so just ignore him.

I'm sure that 2.0 will be cracked, it is just a matter of time. Cracking the AES is def not the way to go about it, there are numerous other posibilities that we have to look at. There has to be something there that Sony hasnt noticed as a vulnerability, after all, code is written by humans and humans make mistakes all of the time. With the new features of 2.0 im sure there is more of a drive among hackers to crack 2.0 than there was for 1.51/1.52 given that this update actually adds something to the PSP where the others were pretty much just security updates. Also with the European release down the road you can be certain that they wont want to be stuck with their PSPs that cant run homebrew. I'm sure that a bunch of groups have already started looking at the new firmware.

There is a good chance that it could be uncrackable. The easiest way for them to do this would be to not allow for code to be run at all from anything other than the UMD. This would literally force a modchip to be able to do anything, which would seriously hinder homebrew, I mean seriously, how many of you would take apart your psp and solder something in?

It would become even harder if they make it a requirement for all new games to carry 2.0 on them and not run on 1.0/1.5+ machines.

As for something that is uncrackable. Bleemcast for the Dreamcast. UN CRACKABLE.

I wonder if Xecuters Device can roll back the firmware... Yet again, it would involve opening your psp though.

[Cross]

haha Cross you made me lose alittle respect for you for not getting info. NOT ALL PASS GAMES WILL BE FOR DOWNLOAD. Because of copyright issues. And all games have a price $3-10 or more. Depends on who made the game. ( Nintendo is also putting free "roms" in the next Rev games.)
Yes there is also some graphical improvement to some or mybe all games.( No doubt popular games will have a upgrade.) The only thing that Rev. does not have, like any other Emu we played, is....Muiltplayer over the internet with that Emu. And enable to change settings on filters... or even more!

I look forward for the rev. But not the pass games you will have access to. BESIDES The hackers will allow roms in it.

So your post Cross is invalid.

From what I remember even here in this Forum (NIN REV section) the Heads of Nintendo were quoted as saying past games will be FREE (and they seemed to indicate all but as I said in that post, I doubt they will be free (atleast all of them)).

I am not sure exactly what ur saying is invalid in my post I will reread what you posted.... just a sec

Ok I said that games from ALL THE PAST SYSTEMS not ALL THE GAMES FROM ALL THE PAST SYSTEMS. So its clarified I was indicating the games for all systems from NES on will be available on the Rev. Not all games may be found but all the systems were what they claimed it would be able to play through the download feature. (Let me make sure this is clear all past nintendo systems not sure on hand helds I am not including those just home systems basically as far as I know)

Now if we are emulating those on the PSP that cuts into that market. While all EMU's do the PSP is showing that its quite popular and being able to run those systems on it takes away from some of what Nintendo no doubt considers there market and claim to fame with this new system. (Hell it mattered enough to mention at E-3 so they are proud of it). So that was my point on why Nintendo would be presenting pressure on Sony about it. Not to mention the PSP is a gaming system, while computers are different and the Dreamcast is not currenlty for sale in stores, it is sold in local stores. It is a current gen console and doing the same thing as another system just adds to features is was not intended to have. And then when you consider Nintendo is rather protective of what it considers theirs....

[Xarius]

Not only does an NES emulator mess with their hopes for Revolution, but it kills sales of these stupid GBA-ported NES games. Who would pay $20 for the original Zelda game on GBA when they could just stick it on a PSP emulator for free?

[parabolee]

I've said it before and I will say it again... Firmware v2.00 WILL be "cracked" (hacked exploit, whatever) eventually.
What foem it will come in is still unknown but I for one would install a mod chip in my PSP if thats what i had to do to get all the things I want. The PSP can do far too much cool stuff for the scene to die. I think (and this is only an educated guess) thqat the nbest bet would be a fake update firmware, like we fool the PSP into searching for an update in a place where a hacked firmware is and "upgrade" to the hacked firmware that allows us to do all the things we want.

It may take time but People who now have v2.00 WILL be able to run homebrew in the future, I would bet hard cash on it.

[Terial]

im probably gonna be flamed for sugessting this, but is it possible to "fake" signing by Sony of EBOOTs? this would permanently solve the problem of secruity increases. however, this would be illegial... mmm. that sucks.

myself, I will be getting a white PSP once i save up the money, and use that for UMDs and net browsing, and keep my 1.5 PSP for emulation and homebrew. I completely understanding why sony is getting so upset. but wouldnt it just be easier for them and us.. if they "locked" the use of UMD ISOs from being used by any program used on the memory stick? this would possibly prevent UMDs from being played on the system.

I have no doubt that 2.0 WILL be cracked. It will just take time, as with 1.5.
and if not... mod the damn thing XP. I have suadering expierence now, i'll have no problem putting in a mod chip.

And I also think that homebrewed firmware would be awesome. No secuirity, and all the things we want, that sony wont give us ^^
