PSP Hackers Break Updates’ Protection
The latest update from hackersville reveals that our beloved PSP pirates have managed to break through the security on PSP’s new upgrades, allowing homebrew to run freely on the handheld.
Until now, only version 1.5 of the PSP firmware has been able to reliably run homebrew software, although teams working on the system have managed to make some advances on later versions - including, notably, a crack that allowed purchasers of systems running version 2.0 firmware to downgrade them to version 1.5.
Sony has continually updated its firmware in order to keep one step ahead of the hacker community - but the latest exploit to be published allows many popular pieces of homebrew software, including emulators, to be run on even the most recent firmware, version 2.6.
Heh. Heh. Heh.
Alas, Sony isn’t totally panicking yet because unfortunately hackers haven’t figured out a way to run pirated software on the PSP, remaining limited to homebrew applications.
Emphasis on the “yet”.
Go hackers, go.
Bad pirates.
