Ok, but the only good update on there is the flash player (unless your into AAC). Juat gonna wait till something happens, way to many things on 1.5 that prevent me from upgradeing to 2.7.

first game demo (run from memory stick) is out for fw 2.7. if you’ve upgraded create the directory structure and tell us how it is.

2006-04-25 05:03:42

i was wondering and i coul be wrong on this, but if you can now run game demo’s from the memory stick on a 2.7 firmware, surely it can’t be long till full downloaded games can be run on 2.7, then surely its just a small side step from full games to downloaded/hacked iso’s running on 2.7, ok you might need to convert them from iso’s to a different format… but should that not work?

Its typical that sony the bitch would try something like this, but time will tell before our fantastic friends out there find a exploit to allow homebrew on all psp firmwares again. Good luck fella’s

 
Comment by benster2004
2006-04-25 10:16:38

I would agree with Matts comment with a potential exploit to be found in the download games part of the firmware 2.7… If the PSP is allowed to play downloaded content straight from the memory stick, there has to be a way to exploit it..

Go for it Fanjita!!!!!!!!!

You know you want to…

 
Comment by ri0t
2006-04-25 10:24:08

well not really
if the dled content is signed by sony b4 it can run
then it may as well have been an original
cause tehres still gonna be no way to sign ur copy of a game
its the same thing as drm technology and stuff
read up about digital signing :/

what about if you could like patch a eboot with sonys own signed stuff could even be able to make a downgrader that would anoyne snoy if there new way to get people to upgrade could in fact make people download all their 2.7s to sweet 1.5s

2006-04-25 12:33:59

i honestly think people should be happy now. the release of macromedia flash has just opened a big gaping door for those who want games, all i see is a compromised with sony and homebrew people in my eyes.

 
Comment by Renfeild
2006-04-25 13:03:56

#42 sorry to dissapoint but flash runs only at 6.0 on the PSP (Which is outdated), and two the homebrew is not functional on firmware version 2.7 so where is there a compromise Sony is still a bitch and will continue to be.

Long live homebrew!

PS please take no offense to my message #42 this is just an opinion that alot of people agree on.

Cheers :D

*sigh* I have no idea what Sony has against homebrew. Honestly, I’m not interested in pirating games, I just want to be able to play SNES sometimes, maybe play a little internet radio… Is that so much to ask? Honestly, I think Sony should be more open to allowing for non-UMD based development for the PSP. I’d pay $5 for a SNES emulator if I could run it on any Firmware version ’til the end of time. Same for an internet radio. Of course, Sony would probably be bastards and charge $30 for the thing… so, go homebrew!

To No 48 , you obviously have never Had a FW 1.5 PSP with Full Homebrew, i have tried over 40 Games as ISO’s & Every single Emulator on this system,
SONIC anyone, that was made for the PSP!!!!
Flash Player BIG DEAL……
There’s a Homebrew Version anyway…….
it will not be long before someone finds a exploit in the new Firmware!!!!
FW 1.5 is the Greatest!!!
until S$ny release the PSone Emulator on here!!!!
Until then UP YOURS S$NY….

Comment by Joshua Gore
2006-04-25 16:26:09

Ok becasue half the people on these boards are noobs im going to sum up what you CAN and CAN NOT do with your new pointless PSP thats upgrated to 2.7.

YOU CAN:

Now watch flash movies and play flash games. Although there are reports of it running slow, and its an outdated version of flash, its still Mcromedia Flash so be thankful. oh and they have a flash homebrew thing for 1.5 so dont be retarded if you already have 1.5 :-)

A new file exstension for music, this basiclly means nothing unless your some unltra i love quality type of person or whatever the heck it is.

RSS added feature that lets you download the content under RSS. this feature though i might add is NOT WORTH THE UPDATE.

Ultra boosted security to screw over all the wonderful homebrewers and such out there.

YOU CAN NOT:

USE ELOADER TO RUN HOMEBREW! SO STOP ASKING! sadly they “fixed” everyones fav GTA exploit and now it just shows up as data is corrupt. there pictures on the internet if you dont belive me. so HOMEBREW=ZERO AS OF NOW!

THERE IS NO DOWNGRADER YOU DUMB @$#$! obviously since there is not one out for 2.6 yet, although someone said theres “rumors” (please give us proof) there is obviously not goign to be one for 2.7 for a long long long time. get over it your screwed. hey look on the bright side at least you can play loco roco or whatever the crap that is.

YOU CANT HAVE FUN! tp pretty much sum it up the only reason you should upgrade is if your blind and dont know the diffrence. Sersiouly, do not update yet, becasue untill we get offical word of no new eloader, you pretty much at this point close ever door to homebrew.

CLOSING STATEMENT:
Just wait.

anyone who upgrades from 1.5 to 2.7 has a mental deficiency.

and here is why:
Quake1 with multiplayer
SNES
proper media player
free umd’s
and soo much more… but hey whatever peels your potato

Quake1 sucks i passed the game years ago why would i want to play it again?
SNES I passed most of those games years ago they suck and why would i want to play them again? plus that’s not why i bought my psp. proper media player? I only store music on my psp and it works perfectly fine so i don’t really care about that. free umd’s? alot of them crash.I prefer just popping in the umd and playing the damn game not loading it from from some hack, I hate loading. loading can go fuck himself.
and the rest is just useless apps and more shitty boring homebrew games. I’m gonna be playing 2.7 games soon anyway

2006-04-25 17:24:26

minime you can save flash files on it and play them through the browser but you gotta target your file on the address bar like: file:/psp/common/htf.swf which kinda sucks but it works. rename the flash file short so you don’t have to type the whole name in like i did there with happy three friends=htf

2006-04-25 17:28:39

two things.

NOBODY WITH 1.5 UPDATE. THere’s bound to be somebody who would trade your 1.5 for their 2.01+.

i’m not too sure on this but sony can never disable homebrew. why? because if they do, the only way to update would be via UMD. homebrew, in essence, is an eboot that the PSP executes and so are the updates. So you see, even on 2.7, there is some kind of encryption that disables unsigned code because only Sony holds the key. but hey, correct me if i’m wrong.

no need for upgradeing, whats the point of having a built in flash player, you still need to be in a hotspot or a wireless router and when theres a wireless router, theres a computer…………bottom line you can just watch your flash on a computer.

long live homebrew!!! ^_^

i think people that updated their psp knew eloader didn’t work anymore and i think that why they did it anyway. cuz they didn’t give a fuck about it. let people enjoy their psp anyway they want stop being a bitch. If you want to stay with homebrew then stay with it ya fag and if you want to update then update and don’t bitch for a downgrader

 
Comment by Me
2006-04-25 17:54:27

the flash player works ok not good not great just ok. some flash files are too big for the psp’s cache and it’s gonna show you a “there is not enough memory” error which is really stupid. so only a few flash games/movies work fine. The web browser is alot faster though so that i guess is a good thing

so basically, you need a 2.70 PSP, then download the demo, connect your PSP to your computer, and put the demo into the PSP/GAME folder (just like every other homebrew game/app) and then play it ;)

Comment by anonymous
2006-04-25 18:15:39

sony’s being a bitch. besides 2.5 and 2.6, every update has been a patch to disable homebrew with one or two new crappy features to make people want to upgrade. Who 2.5 and 2.6 might’ve been like that too and we just don’t know it.
