OMG you almost got me Sony, you tricky batsards. LOL

Sorry, Sony, but I’m keeping my 1.51 in the hopes that that downgrader will be available soon. I’d rather have my Rockman Dash then your little beta test.

I’ve subscribed, I’ve always had fun beta testing things.

Looking forward to receiving this package, I have a feeling not many people will be upgrading their PSPs for this, and I have always upgraded mine. :)

Is there a way to register without upgrading?

there is a way to get around it if you interested let me know.

“These are the steps I used to sign up for the SOCOM BETA without using my PSP (and thusly, faking Sony).

1. You must have Mozilla Firefox. Get it at http://mozilla.org/products/firefox
2. You need to install this extension.
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=59
(Remember, after clicking install, you must completely close Firefox and restart it!!!)
3. Go to tools>User Agent Switcher>Options>Options.
4. Click on User Agents on the left.
5. Click Add.
6. In Description, put PSP (or whatever you wish to call it.)
7. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
In the User Agent box, put:
Mozilla/4.0+(PSP+(PlayStation+Portable);+2.00)
EXACTLY as shown.
8. Hit OK, then OK again.
9. Go to tools>User Agent Switcher>PSP
10. Now browse to the beta signup page that you received in the email.
(Note that you must have already registered your PSP on playstation.com, and marked that you do have wireless internet to receive the email)
11. You’ll notice that the page will display normally. Fill out the info, and submit everything. Yay! Now to wait for the “You’re Accepted” email!

Second Note: This does NOT GUARANTEE that you will automatically be accepted, nor that the SOCOM game itself will run on firmware lower than 2.00. This simply bypasses the restriction on the beta signup form.�

I’m gonna betatest because I was foolhardy enough to think that I was scerwed with my 1.52 so if I couldn’t have homebrew I decided would have to live with it so I went to 2.0 before I heard of this legended downgrader which is great for 1.5x holders.

theres actually 3 ways that i know of you can do this without upgrading mainly just use the wab changer and any browser on your psp

i got the e-mail sent to me and i am gonne do it because my psp came in 1.51 so i updated to 1.52 and then stupidly to 2.00!?!?!?!?!?! i’m fucken stupid!!!!! (not really!!!!!!!!)

all beta testers have been aquired already - so no point in trying to ‘hack’ the site.

So will there be like several rip kits for it in the near future? :)

Cant you just use the PSP web emulator ?

My firefox browser doesnt give me an option to choose a user agent.

I’ll dl the beta when it gets leaked :).

@13 you have to install the extension first.

screw that no way im leaven all my homebrew and apps just for solcom

screw that no way im leaven all my homebrew and apps just for solcom

dude chill

there arent any more applications left anyway

they r all gone

THIS IS A SCAM SET UP BY SONY they did it so that people will upgrade there psp
i already upgraded mine befor this event came up so when i went to the site it said sorry they already got the testers and that a load of bull shit

i did the hack and it didnt tell me they found all the testers. anyone else get this?

talk about a trap do those sony F***s think we are that dumb i could care less about that game on my psp, we dont even have two analog controls to make the game good, why upgrade? i sure as hell wont untill there is a hack

DON’T UPGRADE THE REGISTRATION IS ALREADY OVER. I was about to do it then I found a hack to register using my pc on pspupdates and what do you know, it tells me it’s already over. I wonder how many people Sony got to upgrade only to learn that they can’t participate in the Beta.

FUCK YOU SONY STOP SHOVING YOUR UPDATES DOWN OUR THROATS AND LET US HACK IN PEACE.

BTW: THUG2Remix is really fun I just got an iso of it and played for a while. :D

I just did the firefox fix, and it is saying that they have all the beta testers now

ahahhahahahh!!!

this is all bulllllllshiittttt!

they might as well said that they were beta testing HALO on the psp, (BS!) they shure would of gotten me… (yea rigth), but for the ppl that have 2.0, try it.. im keeping my both psp’s on 1.5

I don’t know what the heck you guys are talking about. Registration is not over, it accepted mine just find. Of course, that may be because I’m a GAP member, not sure if anyone else here is, there must be someone else. And those of you waiting for a “confirmation e-mail”…read the e-mail sent out by sony…you won’t get one.

Silic0nJ3sus im GAP member as well but im testing socom 3 think there will be a conflict?

“F YOU SONY STOP SHOVING YOUR UPDATES DOWN OUR THROATS AND LET US HACK IN PEACE.”

Then stop people from making/using UMD boot loaders. Otherwise your hacking costs them money, which they would be stupid not to protect. So f you too, and let Sony sell their games in peace.

I got the email for the beta on 9/29 at 9:58.

I signed up for it w/2.0 psp @ 9/30 at 11am

It sent me to a page that said you will receive another email if your selected!

Which always happens when signing up for a beta! Ive been doing the beta thing since the ps2 came out and always recieved my copy’s! So it is no scam I will post everything including pics here when it comes http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5568

Ok! now I just got the new update and the update comes with a web browser and that is all I really need.

there all out of room u cant beta test anymore

I dont know why but i was able to sign up for the beta test using the Wipeout Browser, without having to use the Wab Changer. I have 1.50

kool there u have it then…WIPEOUT SECERT BROWSER!!
is the easist way

SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMM

umm i went to the site and it didnt work

Yesss i am gonna beta test SOCOM:FTB I am teh wins! I am also a gap member! wow lucky me!!

LOOK EVERY BODY #27 he work for SONY thats dumb ass …..you like to pay for sony dont you #27 ..give your wife to your BIG boss sony every weekend wen you cuckold your dick watching them fucking !! lolol fuck you too !

I work at Sony and I think PSPs should be illegal if they are used improperly, such as with “Poot” Loaders. You retards are who were trying to protect, not my losers.

ok #37 you fucktard have fun with sony and have fun tracking anyone down you people at sony are retarted just let people run their homrbrew in peace….and guess what you think your so great forcing people to upgrade to 2.0 well guess what its not gonna work some of us are smart and are not gonna fall vicitm to the trap you morons are laying…and even when these new *great* game start coming out were gonna fool your stupid updater anyways so its not gonna matter…listen give it up becuase after 2.0 is hacked WTF are you gonna do start releasing psp with a new version so that can get hacked too…well no just stop now and let people live in “peace”

lol sony how 99% of the japanes and korean psp user …i think they make enought money with them …so $ony give us a break,we take it for free now and for ever ….i pay ps2 ,ps1 ….psp is free stuff now …i will only pay for game deserve it ..like medievil people worked hard to make thats cool game , thats i pay with smile ..but remake namco galaga or pacman at the same price then a game on xbox360 no thank you we are not slave !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

38 is right. No matter how many times you try and force upgrades on people, someone who is very talented will come along and slice and dice the firmware up. If you really wanted to prevent this you should have been more innovated like (I hate to say it…) The big N. Sure cartridges are outdated and the touch screen seems like a gimmick but you can’t really properly emulate a DS to easily. Eventually they’ll make flash cards for the DS But nintendo has always been very good at avoiding piracy (Well to a certain extent anyhow). I mean look at all the “progress” GCN emulators have made (not to crap on any talented people’s work). Point is Sony attached a USB connection to their hand helds and people will absolutely take advantage to the fullest. No matter what they do to prevent it, there will be ways around security and once one person knows, everyone knows. And even if its illegal there is nothing anyone can really do about it. Just like they think they are really gonna monitor the internet. Well good luck b/c you’d need as much ppl as use it currently to day. Can’t watch us all mwa hahaha

I have illegally inserted a “Tracker” on this website and when you download a hacker i will send fines of up to $50.00.

FOR THE LOVE OD GOD! PLEASE CRACK 2.0! I GOT AN INVITE BUT THERE IS NO WAY IN HEL IN UPDATEING MY PSP! SO GET CRACKING AND ABANDON 1.5 1.0 HACKS!

And just who in the hell would pay a fine you sned. I’ll tell you what, Ill send you a steaming pile of horse shit, just like your last post and you can stuff it down you’r throat and die (LOL!!!!)

i got the email and i did it b/c i had web on my psp and i just did it did any body get another email say that they going to get the game

I just have one thing to say, thanks for all the free games sony. And SOCOM sucks anyway so put that in your pipe and smoke it

Well, 2 things !! :(

Pfft, socom sucks you say? Socom 2 is the greatest online game for the PS2. Stil not updating to have a ‘chance’ at beta testing this though!

i’ll never update my PSP till the brilliant hackers out there decompile 2.0 and all the coders get their killer apps to work on it. till then. Sony can eat my Ass. 1.5 is good for you. and if the downgrade comes out soon. get it! not that i have to tell u then.

Well here is a way to get around updating to 2.0

http://www.pspcrazy.com/socomtutorialhacked.htm

why is everyone waiting for the downgrader? it will most likey be that the 2.0 will be hacked before a downgrader comes out?

because a downgrade is a big secret revelead at last …the way to downgrade is easyer then to hack a firmware .. actualy yoshihiro didnt hack the firmware to make it downgrade is a TRICK with PRX file , is like you swich some prx from a 1.50 in a 1.52 update …then the firmware PAST the old prx with the new faked prx from 1.50 then the PSP is downgraded with a update …is a good trick but not a hack !

hey # 42 can i have yur spot if u dont upgrade i would be eternally grtatefull

my email is miniflash@cox.net

Lol, you nuts. “I don’t want fireteam bravo, I want to play NES Mario Homebrew.” Ok then,good luck, but you should seriously think about what you are saying.

Just to add what to what #40 said, who the f**k is going to shell out for a UMD movie? they cost more than a DVD and are more limited. With a USB cable, the dumbasses at sony let us rip DVD’s & shrink em for use on our PSP’s. I havent worked out how this isnt illegal but with a region1 console in a region2 country this is the way i watch movies on PSP

And as for #39’s comment about shelling out for pacman, the decent ppl at sony could atleast give us that as a free game or something that we could download to memory stick.

Until then,This site is still gonna be living strong and the more sony updates, the more hackers will hack!

People make fun of Nintendo but they’re obviously smarter than the people at sony

i was wondering i already updated my psp for the hell of it and the web browser is pretty cool but i was wondering can anyone like hack an aim,yahoo,msn program so its possible to install the program on ur psp?

@47. You may think SOCOM 2 is the best online game for the PS2, and i agree. But considering the PS2 completely sucks ass at online gaming, its nothing to shout about

Well for one Techni, even if you did put a tracker in the site, I doubt you can fine us. Just because we download programs or software. Its not illegal til we use them. So therefore you can not fine anyone for anything unless you go to everyones house and check out their PSPs. As for SOCOM, eh its not Halo but PS2 is lacking in the good FPS games, PS2 is grand for RPGs, and fighting games. Everquest: Frontiers was awsome too if your into MMORPGs. Other then that I use my xbox for Halo X-Men Legends and KOTOR. NGC for Animal Crossing, and Zelda.

Why dont you all get a life and just one person make a homebrew version unless it really is BS!!!!!!!!
if it is sony is a SOB!!!!!!

Whats the prob guys? We have a WAB Firmware Version Faker…keep your 1.51 but fake 2.00
:D

WILL THE WAB FIRMWARE WORK ON 1.50?

what for do you want it work on 1.50 #61 ? you dont need to downgrade your firmware ,1.50 work with hombrew and emulateur …but if you want upgrade to 1.52 jap and downgrade to 1.50 if you bored ^_~ lol

what the fuck??

Illegal “Tracker”> hahaha, you’re no better than us techni. your false praise and threats are just as childish as the shitty games your releasing at outrageous prices [except dynasty warriors, big fan] you should really watch yourself when coming on “enemy” territory thinking your big stuff, let me tell you, we outnumber you, and always will. we will never die, hackers are forever! so let us play our homebrew in peace!!

PLEASE!!!!! please someone that wont use their SOCOM invite send it to me!!! id be forever in your debt, my email is dkraneveldt@gmail.com

Hey.. my comment was deleted! What gives. Anyways. \. I agree with #64, hackers will forever be around. I mean, come on. People creat games for calculators for god’s sake. Did Sony honestly think that there wouldn’t be any hackers, especially since they added their usb plug-in to the psp. And I do have to say, alot of the games I have played on the psp suck really bad and are no fun. There are only a few games that I think will be worth my money and I will buy them. As for running games off of the memory stick; I download them, try them out for a day, and then I delete them. I decided weather or not I want to buy it in that time. Most games I will never buy. I have tried Medievil, and I will buy it when it comes to the US. I will also buy GTA. Just a heads-up on what some people use the “illegal” homebrew for.

I actually like some of the games that have been coming out. Hot shots golf is fun although a little weird with the shims and the herms. Untold Legends is cool. Death Jr. is severly under-rated. Lumines is very very fun. So there are some titles out there that are awsome. It will take a little while for alot of games to come out. Just like the DS it takes time for the developers to make games. When the DS first came out most people were complaining about how there are only crappy games but they are getting better and there is alot more variety now. The same will go for the psp. But I am upset about FF getting yanked from the PSP. I just want any decent RPG (not action/RPG) WITHOUT A STUPID POKEMON STYLE CARD BATTLE SYSTEM.

@ 60, im pretty sure you need to be using the browser from the 2.0 firmware to access the beta site. but testing ended today anyway so there really is no point. unless you want to use that new psportal that looks just like a windows interface. i got it and its alot of fuckin fun. keep it real my homeneezies

simple as curl… just borrow a 2.0 system from a unsuspecting “friend” and sniff the traffic of the registration then open the saved http conversation with eathereal. Then spoof the post/GET requests and agent through curl. You can complete the form with curl entirely! ;) shouts to Dragorn!

hey my dumm azz cousin just upgraded my PSP from v1.5 to V2.0, and all my nintendo games were corrupted. Now i have to go to bestbuy and exchange my V2 for a version 1.51 hopefully so i could be able to downgrade. i knew this $40.00 replacement plan was worth it.

Beta is FULL! Hope this stops some people from upgrading if they don’t want to.

“We’re Sorry,
But due to the widespread popularity of this offer, we have already acquired all of our beta testers”

Thats what i get when i go there.

THE PSP SCEN 4 HOMEBREW HAS STOPED…..ANYBODY NOTICE THIS??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

yeaa we needt o get 2 work

Why buy the PSP and “Fuck You Sony” that doesnt make since it was a good trap though :)

I was just thinkin of something… wonder if theres any websites that have all those roms and u can just run them from the web browser for ppl who have 2.0 Im sure this has already been thought of but i no theres a couple websites u can upload like 100 mb of files and access them there. so i wonder if that would work

First, if you can’t download the new 2.0 via PSP, you can download it via computer then using a firewire cable upload it to the PSP.

Second, If you have a wireless router you can DL it directly to the PSP.

Third, 2.0 has many new features you will want on the PSP; i.e. the web brower

The web site…www.playstation.com

I am in, one of the choosen! LoL

rightt…

Everyone who says that the beta testers were already chosen read this you pieces of shit…lol…go play with yourself…pussies..lol
