To address why Nintendo does not want this system playing EMU/Homebrew. What are most of us Emulating? A Nintendo System. What is Nintendo getting ready to release? The Revolution which will let you Download their games from all past systems to play. They probably see the PSP Homebrew as hindering that. Can't blame them it is a logical conclusion to assume. (Why pay for a game or get a Revolution when I can just use a Portable system like the PSP, not to mention we do not know how the DS will fit in it might make it so that the DS can play the Old games the Revolution downloads we just do not know).

Personally I think the next step should be a Mod Chip, stop screwing with Sony, just mod the damn thing and be done with it.

Very true, Cross. Very true.

I checked out one of my new favorite sites and found something on running code on psp 2.0. It has something to do with Java and the site has a download for an offline portal... will this make it possible to run emus and such on 2.0??? Or is this just a useless app?

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.

Its the same for all the developers of those games. They don't make money off there games being circulated. They want it stopped by Sony as well. They might be trying to sell compilations of there classics while everyone is downloading them for free. bit torrents and file-sharing programs just accelerate this process. You got to understand this and not go off and say "SOny Teh meen why no likey homewbrew?!1". The answer is obvious.

update! american psps to ship version 1.5 firmware, new security update from sony blah blah blah. security opening found in 1.0 enables homebrew makers to run code. 1.5 users out of luck. it looks far and impossible for homebrew on 1.5. such and such from iknowhowtocode.com said 1.5 has this and that and to decrypt it would be hard and blah blah. BREAKING NEWS some guys in spain hacked 1.5(just by swapping memsticks). but it will be impossible to run UMD games off memory sticks, hackers would have to decrypt each file and then even if they did that...blah blah .blah blah blah. WHAT HAPPENED!!!!! this news is utter bull, you guys need to stop listening to all these people. look what everyone said wouldnt be done, and has been done already! 2.0 will be cracked in time as all the other hacks that were said to be impossible.

service pack 2 for windows was supposed to patch holes, people are still getting hacked hard. security developers are going to always think there shat is secure...its there job. with all the new features added there bound to be more holes open. and there other ways such as modchips to bypass the unbypassable cough cough XBOX. cough cough the impossible gamecube. psp was hacked 3x as fast as both those systems, which means in the future its gonna be easier. do the math, its a no braineer, not saying its a walk in the park, but niether was 1.5.

THATS WHAT SONY GETS FOR RUSHING THE PSP, version 2.0 should have shipped first with a browser, multiple image support, native codec, and wallpaper in the first place. ITs KARMA FOR THEM THAT THERE PRECIOUS LITTLE SYSTEM GOT HACKED SO FAST. sony got owned! and i just got a spiderman2 value pack brand new unopend off ebay last week, and theres plenty more...what is sony gonna do have a recall? lol, im might get another one

. lol thats what they get for trying to play god.

Sony accually looses money for every PSP made. I'd say maybe somewhere around $50-$100. They make all the money back from the games that get sold. So they can give a $#@! about homebrew. If people just buy the console for homebrew, they technically loose money.
