If 0okm's word is to anything to go by, newer PSPs might be at firmware 2.81 from the factory itself. And I'm pretty sure that 0okm has his sources; and if anything, I would trust what 0okm has to say. Plus, he has also given us a picture which shows the box of the newly released PSP. The new box has a code of L on the sticker. So if you or any of your friends are planning to buy a PSP in the near future, please make sure to not buy one which has a box code L on the sticker. In case you don't know, firmware 2.81 isn't hacked yet, so you'll probably be stuck without homebrew for at least a while. Oh and remember, friends don't let their friends buy a homebrew-less PSP. |

» Check before you buy
Not every shop lets you look at the box containg the psp you want to buy. But some have them in a glass display box so i guess you can point and say i want that one.

it would so smart of s0ny to make homebrew and just block the loading of iso's . why cant they make that happen? i would be at 2.81 if that was the case. everyone would be happy except for the slimy pirates.

» homebrew no isos
Sony Cant let homebrew on the psp with out letting iso loader go to, there would be no way for sony to controle what game are allowed on to it and what isnt. Th only way they could would to for people to submit there stuff for sony to allow, and homebrew makes wont do that. They dont want Sony to hame the last say about what games can, or cant be on it. As a ISO loader user its not fesible for sony to contrloe itall. I use ISOs of my own purchase games because most of them load a lot faster and play smoother than on the UMD. Plus, with the iso the psp dossent have a assess the umd drive to get the info so my battery life jumps a good %50.

I agree with that fact that ripping UMDs is great but I would rather have the option of homebrew with the latest fw. Oh well 1.5 w. devhook can play all the latest games at the moment so it really doesnt matter. GTA will be a problem Im sure.. OH well for Sony alot of people wont upgrade for one game .

the reason why it isnt hacked yet is because people are making homebrew ***** like Devhook Extreme Custom Second Edition SE-X for 2.71. they need to get off 2.71 and start doing ***** on 2.8 or people will not support homebrew anymore.

The flash in the latest systems is screwing the game companies.. Now anybody with an internet connection can play pirated games without a MOD Chip.. hahha.. how stupid. It was alot harder to play isos on the ps1 if you didnt know how to solder or have the means to get a modchip . now it doesnt matter.

Because what people still can't seem to get their narrow minds around, is the fact that the firware updates are to fix security holes that could be used maliciously, and NOT to put a stop to homebrew.
Not to say that they want to support homebrew in any way, but they're main goal with the firmware updates is to protect the general consumer.

If your from canada and you would rather buy a older psp from a store, head over to your local Zellers (the ones around here are dead nowadays) they usually have pre-TA-82 psp's, and if you happen to know about a zellers in a bad part of town you may be able to find a 1.5 psp (i found one a month ago for my buddy). Thing is really to look at places you would never think of buying electronics from usually.

And aslo never asume that there will be onein a few weeks, all you do is set your self up for disapointment. I got my psp at the relase, but i have never upgraqded with out knowing that i could downgrade. This is a good idea for anyone. Like when 3.00 comes out i will not upgrade. I will liy and wait for some news about cracks or hacks comming out. A PS1 emulator is nice, but not key on my list of wants.

» Homebrew is over-rated
Most of the people who homebrew use the Video players and emulators. Sony doesnt care about videos anymore, they know they were flawed in not settings regulations for UMD, thats why sales never kicked off, movie companies were too worried at the new format they wanted to recoupe the cost asap.
But then theres the ricsk of letting people run ISOs. Soon enough the FW3.0 will be out along with the PS3 with all the features they promised us. What then? Those who have 2 PSPs have nothing to worry about but then again those who have only 1 have to make the choice of either upgrading for the PSX emulator, or buy a new PSP.
Homebrew is counter-productive. As soon as they find a leak, sony patches it. Homebrew is helping sony alot more then you can imagine. Why pay someone to find leaks and patch it when you can just monitor the homebrew scene for people to find leaks for free. People make good money finding flaws in software and if Sony can get people to do it for free, then why not, thats money they dont have to pay.
Eventually all the leaks will be sealed up. Every new leak will be met with a new firmware. I dont know if they emulated 2.81 yet but if they havnt, then chances of them emulating FW3.00 when the PS3 is out will be slim.

» Hombrew is Over rated
Well maybe for you it is but not for me. Let me explain. I love emulators there great and i loave backing up my games that i have purchased. Not to mention over clocking. I love that becuse when you can turn the frame rate up and enjoy game at 333 Mhz instead of 222 Mhz like playing Socom Online at 333 its wondifull. Plus there so much more homebrew that you not listing say for insatnce Ir Shell Which is great and lets me play my own music on my UMD games. This rocks again Socom 333 Mhz and My own Mp3 and online. I could go on and on but there not no since. Trust me i could. Im not going to do that. Now for the case of the 3.00 not cracked. It will be like all other are. Right now not alot of firmware cracking going on like for instance 2.81 becuse they are waiting for 3.00. There nothing on 2.81 anyways. Im sure you already no that. So they will wait for something worth putting there time in. Not to mention there is a Homebrew psx 1 that looks very promising. Maybe one or two more maybe three month and i think it will be a nice piece of homebrew. Like all that start off slow and work up speed.
As i said 3.0 will be hacked and you can take that to the bank + get paid.

» hmm...
what if sony set up a distro website for homebrew... that website would have a few mods that test and check the brew to make sure its not malicious. put the encryption on it and then distribute it for free. that way we would be able to have homebrew on higher firmwares without iso loaders. the only thing that would be able to published is legit homebrew.
the way they could check the brew is with maybe a..... program that checked for i dunno functions that allow the deletion of all files on the flash(an application that would be used on a computer.)
that way sony could get tons of buyers both homebrew lovers and umd game lovers alike. as for 3.00... im not looking forward to it because it will only further limit the capabilities of the psp while offering mediocre excuses... i mean applications to make us want to update to make our psp more "secure" and "safe". it is also taking the fun out of having a psp; no ways to cheat or anything anymore. i will stick with my 1.5 psp and devhook(2.71fw) fw with my syphon filter dark mirror and all my homebrew, while these idiots or people who just dont know about homebrew go out and update their psps to 3.0 and above and then ask whens it gon be hacked.

» Why not?
The reason companies like Sony won't put up a homebrew site is simple... $$$. If everyone that buys a PSP is able to get hundreds of homebrew games for FREE (instead of just the able-minded PSP owners), then Sony would see a drop in UMD Game sales. It's as simple as that. Some people go out and get a new game simply because they're bored with the ones they have; and unless they see a new PSP game that really catches their eye, they don't really care what game they find as long as it's something different. Homebrew can give them that for free.
I'm sure there are people working on getting 2.8 downdated to 1.5... and I remember reading a week ago about all the impatient morons complaining that there isn't one out yet. Now I'm in the same boat, as I just returned my last used PSP because of dead pixels and got one that someone upgraded to 2.80 :-( So, I'm in the patience line... at least I wasn't stupid enough to be the one who upgraded it... Homebrew APPS turn a PSP into a PDA. 'nuf said.
