V2.0 Firmware Will Never Run Homebrew !!

***wraggster*** · July 28th, 2005, 07:42

The internet is rife with storys at the moment, so lets begin, Sony are under pressure from the likes of Nintendo themselves to plug the gaps and stop the Piracy and more worrying for us the Emulation and homebrew scene. The new v2.0 software has plugged every gap that has been exposed by hackers and they have notched up the security even further, so for those on v1.51, v1.52 firmware and if you want to have the hope of running software you must make sure you dont upgrade.

Has Sony finally revealed their killer card, only time will tell but if you have the $$$$ you might be better off sourcing a v1.5 or indeed the fabled v1.0 psp now.

got a comment then share with us

Thank you wraggster! There are a lot of people out there that was confused about the 2.0 update. I had even heard some people say that the 2.0 could play homebrew, This was a dangerous lie that somone started, and personaly I didnt like it. Im so glad somone finely put this right on the front page to clear this up (So everbody can see!) THE PSP 2.0 UPDATE CANT PLAY HOMEBREW!!

The reason it bothered me so much was for the newer people. That could have bought into this bold faced lie and lost out on a lot. I am not a conspiracy theorist. but I almost believe this lie was seeded into the homebrew comminuty by $ony its self

Many many thanks Wraggster your da man

lol I have two psps so it doesn't matter for me. (One has V2 and other have V1.5.) V2 isn't that great...but if we could use Javascript. Then we can have Javascript streaming music...hmm...But the darn thing is kinda slow lol.

Although it's not offically home brew as it were. It's already becoming a substitue. They are making the games run on javascript. So they can play off line. The day a dual boot gets made : drool.

well I guess if the hackers can't find a way to have homebrew on the PSP. There is always other ways. USB or MOD Chip...

Yeah, an external upgradeable mod chip would be a big F-U to all and would be just FINE with me...I'm not spoiled, I've paid for chips in the past and I'm sure I will in the future....
