All PSP owners can now load any software they want onto their devices, even if Sony hasn't approved of it. Sony's Playstation Portable ships with countermeasures to prevent the devices' owners from installing software of their choosing on their property. Under Sony's system, only approved software will run on the PSP. Almost since the day it was first released, this feature has been compromised on PSPs, as PSP owners have reverse-engineered the lockware and produced work-arounds. Sony has responded with a series of "updates" that downgrade PSPs to prevent their customers from continuing to run their favorite programs.
The latest of these downgrades is version 2.60 of the PSP firmware, but as of today, there is a cracked version of this firmware available. Now all PSP owners regardless of their firmware versions can load their own software.
That's right, the day we've all been waiting for has finally arrived! Thanks to the fantastic work by our forum moderator Fanjita and his coding companion Ditlew, it is now possible to play vast amounts of homebrew programs and emulators on every PSP in the world, including those with 2.60 Firmware! Thanks to their monumental achievement, every PSP in the world is capable of playing homebrew!
