PSP homebrew
Once again hackers have managed to compromise Sony’s PSP to enable homebrew applications to be played. The new vulnerability has been enabled through a feature in Grand Theft Auto. Effectively, a backdoor permits a file to be loaded that, in turn, provides execution for homebrew applications. In addition to the actual game, you’ll need
- eLoader software
- a PSP with at least 2.0 firmware
- a memory stick containing a saved game
- USB cable
- some homebrew applications
The amount of effort this requires is quite substantial – not enough to justify playing emulators, in my opinion! Can Sony ever really lock the PSP down?
