V2.0 Firmware Will Never Run Homebrew !!

[MasterChafed]

I think it's a shame Sony locks the homebrew scene out of their system. I think consoles and handhelds are admired for homebrew more for their original games. It seems Sony would make a lot more money if they would develop a firmware that allows homebrew but not pirated games. (I think people are stupid for even trying to run pirated games off of the machine, it is just a stupid thing to do). Well anyway I know I love running homebrew on my modded xbox, I would probably love it more off a portable. I have a friend who does some pretty hardcore coding and programming in C+ and other languages (dont think he has worked much on coding for gaming systems) but maybe I could give him a call and ask what he thinks on this whole thing. (he has a PSP maybe he could help out a bit on developing an exploit for this new firmware).
i would help but I am only sufficient in coding in basic and assembler. (just learning)
See Ya!

I am a the Newbie of Newbies here. I just got my PSP yesterday, but i have been into rooms,emus ect for quite some time now. I remember once me and a few friends created a free everquest server. To make this server work you obviously had to edit some files. The problem was that when you wanted to run everquest it would automatically patch, thus redownloading all of the files you just changed. To fix this problem there was a little code you could put in to make it think it had already patched itself ^-^ I think something simple like that may work for the psp. Though like i said im a newb. I am probably wrong. Just a thought.

wouldn't it make about a million times more sence for someone to create an alternate update based on v2 but without the extra secutirty stuff?

this seems like it would be far easier than cracking a PSP with 2.0 already on it or modding the console. no?

Do you think maybe sony is only pressing this issue as a means to protect its third parties,And please the other big game companys that may be breathing fire at them over this? I mean Sony its self Doesnt stand to gain much by preventing homebrew,I mean dont start shooting at me over this but sony really isnt that big of a game developer in its self Just electronics and colsoles.except for peace and tranqulity from its third party developes and compitition, How does sony personaly gain from preventing homebrew?

hmmm, i think its because nintendo is getting mad at them, and their games arn't selling too well and they always have to find SOME one to blame... so they point at the emulators and (sucky) homebrew games... but WTF, they should have made it like, open source or whatever, where you were suppose to do that kinda stuff.. i mean if bill gates updated all the PC's with stuff that prevented you from using anything not "official" people would get PISSED and assassinate him... hmm... who runs sony? where does he live?

not that i would EVER think of assassinating anyone (i could just use hitmen)

edit- but i missed my point, if sony wants to sell their games they should stop approving sucky games!!!!! im not buying any games right now because they all suck, except the ones i got, untold legends (gets boring after 30 levels), wipeout pure (very slow "fast paced" racing game, very hard), and tony hawks underground 2 (hecka fun )... there are no others i want!

The code becomes unsigned code and it wouldn't run if you do modifications. On the other hand, if you did modify it, and got it to run somehow, you'd most likely brick your PSP.


Btw, the Nintendo games for download for the Revolution were confirmed to not be free. I'm more curious on how they are going to do microtransactions since I consider them to be sloppy, and they are taking on such tasks.
