Bawls (previously known as realn0whereman) from our forums, has released an update to his PSP anti-theft application ATPSP today. It has been a while since we've heard about this nifty, little application so here's a reminder of what it does - ATPSP allows you to track your PSP online via an email that is sent to you at a specified address every time the PSP is connected via USB. The email includes the thief's browser, IP address and Windows version and if you have a helpful local law enforcement agency, you may be able to track down the thief via these details.

This is a necessary update for anybody that has ATPSP v3.0 or other versions installed because they will no longer work due to a few changes that Bawls had to make. This application uses your computer so whatever firmware version you have on your PSP is irrelevant. In order for this to work and for you to recover a stolen PSP, certain situations should occur.

First, the thief has to connect the PSP to their computer via USB on a Windows PC which has internet access. Second, you have to hope that the he has an IP address unique to an address so that it can be traced. As you can see, lady luck should be on your side for the app to really work, but still, it can help in some situations - which isn't bad for 15kb worth of space on your memory stick.

Remember, if you have any previous versions of ATPSP installed, please download this version and update it or it will not work. Full installation instructions can be found in the download.

Bawls (also known as realn0whereman) from our forums has released version 3 of his ATPSP anti-theft tool for the PSP. ATPSP allows you to track your PSP online via an email that is sent to you at a specified address every time the PSP is connected via USB. The email includes the thief's browser, IP address and Windows version, which you can contact a law enforcement agency in order to track the thief via these details.

Along with customizable icons and PSP titles that were included in ATPSP v2.0, this version adds a netsend popup, telling every PC on your network that a person on this network has stole your PSP, pretty much forcing them to own up! Full instructions on how to set up ATPSP v3.0 can be found in the readme and at the download link. I would post the instructions here, but frankly they're too long. ATPSP is easy and quick to set up, but the instructions are quite thorough. This uses your computer as a base to send the email, so PSP firmware versions are irrelevant! You can even use this on firmware 2.71!
