2.81 what a joke

Would the last software engineer at Sony please turn out the lights?

Love

Kenny

sony its fucking up left and right

and sony actually thinks people will take this upgrade just for the security fix?

atleast 2.00 and 2.5, 2.6 2.7+ had some sort of advantage # 1 is right what a joke

jjaa A WAR

THE WAR CONTINUES…..SONY Vs. PSP HACKERS…..ANOTHER OF THEIR TECHNICHES ALREADY OWNED BY US!!! LOL THEY SHOULD BE PISSED BY NOW!!!!!

Greg are you just waiking up! lol. Do not upgrade guys!!!! if you upgrade you will be dump like me I have a 2.80.

Upgrading as we speak….. yeah right

lol silly sony.

# 7. pretty much

also the 4gb ms limt is gone with this so the 8gb ms will now work

For all you no0bs, Sony does not just add security updates, they also add other improvements so shut up ans stop acting childish.

Whats new in this version? I don’t plan on upgrading, i just want to know what bullshit Sony threw at us this time.

does this patch the tiff exploit?????

@ stevefoxy,
shove a rod up you ass

but if you really think about it, y does sony even bother with the update if it doesn’t have anything new. anyone with a brain won’t be updating to something that only takes away some of the very few freedoms the previous updates missed. the only people that would update don’t even need it because all it does is prevent them from doing something they don’t do and probably never will. thanks for yet another meaningless update sony, good work (not really)

@megamanx
read the artical it says right in it

Why bother puting this on the website…. I guess this is for the people that are dead….

I think it does Megamanx…thats why I would advise [if you already havent] not to upgrade if you like homebrew…because it appears it does not much more than patch the exploit, and the GTA Exploit is already patches…so basically you will be stuck in cold water

The only thing these updates do is keep dark_alex busy!

sony is just turning into more of a joke,

JUST GIVE UP!!!!!

sony is sooooo crap they cant even make it so that people can’t downgrade their psp, sony learn a few lessons from the hackers, they are way better than you!

2.81 can be decrypted with the 2.80 decrypter
hahaha..
Sony was too fast.. :D

Sup Arimasen :)

and I bet it’s just a security thing besides the 4gb limit removed like someone said

Something that people fail to realize is that it’s Sony’s responsibility to release updates to fix ANY bugs that could possibly be used maliciously.

Homebrewers give themselves way too much credit.
These fixes are no different than a Windows update to fix a security vulnerability. They would be neglegent to their customers to NOT fix the problem. They really couldn’t care less if any 1.5er uses the upgrade or not.

damn that was fast what does sony check this website every day or something by the SONY SUCKS ASS and so so does the ps3

well, in 2.80 we could execute code, but there was no kernel access. now in 2.81 there’s no way to do anything yet.
the good news is that ecryption keys from 2.80 to 2.81 haven’t changed, so this means 2.81 possibly can be devhooked.
Since 2.81 can be devhooked, $ony must make another fw version. they’re screwed again.

Sony Thank you for the psp……. Amen!. I thank the lord for Sony building the best portable gaming system ever builded(so far), but please leave the programming to the PRO……Amen!

@25 what the fuck is ur problem with sony, what they are doing sucks, but they don’t. if u have a psp, then u paid 250 (oor mabey 200 now) for something that came from a company that u says sucks ass? who else thinks that the ps3 sucks? i don’t. and @ 24, how could something like the tiff exploit be used maliciously? it could only be used be the person with the psp. no one that it would afect anyway (tiff) would update, so like i said before, whats the damn point of it sony?

OMG i cant wait to upgrade my PSP to the latest firmware from sony. i cant wait to spend my money on their overpriced games either. i dont like homebrew. i like only sony licensed products. wow, thank god for 2.81. omg omg yay. ;)

It could be used maliciously by some ass who makes a bricker from it then gives it to an unsuspecting person, who throws picture on their PSP, naively believing that it would do something cool.
Recall the 2.0->1.5 downgrader that was actually a bricker?
It could even be used maliciously by putting up a bricker on web sites, as a “cool new wallpaper”. And probably more things that I’m not corrupt enough to think about.

Think man!!

I bet you 99% of Windows updates are to things that would never effect the average user. That’s really not the point. The point is that it’s a security risk, and it’s their responsibility to fix it.

u have proved your point, but who lets someone else put mess with their psp, who would download a wallpaper without seeing it, and stop using windows as an example, if any company sucks (refering to post 25) its microsoft.
I’m a proud linux user :)

Eh, people shut the fuck up… Why bother even posting if you’re just going to sit here and say stupid shit about sony? Wow, so they messed up and were quick to release something to fix their mistake… It’s just like when you mess up typing and you fix it with that little stupid star thing. Grow up, get a life. And for the losers who don’t know what I’m talking about, here:

Ooops
Oops*

delete the word *put* as in “someone else mess with their psp”

Hooray for me we fix’d it you dumb little kids. Now try and crack it nao!

People should shut up sayin companies suck wheres yours oh exactly….

This is great. Well at least the part about 2.81 already being decrypted :)

The reason why this 2.81 has NO new features is for people who don’t read up on PSP’s before they get one will automaticly go to Sony’s website and upgrade then they’ll be kicking themselves after they learn about homebrew,etc.

It’s pretty simple it’s just Sony trying to cover its own ass.

They want to make as much money as possible thats all the PSP was ever created for anyways and they don’t want you using any type of “homebrew” since you didn’t give them money for it.

Dude, until you’ve done some developing, you don’t begin to realize just how stupid the average person is, and how much they really do need to be protected from themselves! Which is exactly why using Windows as an example is perfect (the average user uses windows), you see, you are among about what 2% of home users that don’t use Windows for personal computing, it would be like me saying don’t say Linux, I use OS2.

People need to be protected from themselves, you’d bang your head off a wall in frustration, if you’d seen some of the things that people try.

And that’s what the update is for, not because they care about a decrypter, or downgrader. I would be willing to bet a tonne of money, that even if the exploit wasn’t capable of producing a downgrader, it would have still been patched (although I’m willing to admit, that it may not have been as quick).

just an exploit patch, nothin much.

You have to understand that for every 1 person ‘in the know’ who doesn’t update there will be another 1000 people who do. I mean, if you weren’t using the PSP for homebrew then why wouldn’t you upgrade on the next game you buy?

It just means that when ‘Johnny Know-nothing’ hears about PSP hacking from one of his friends in the future it will be too late for him :(

If the average person is stupid enough to screw himself over, then maybe we should let them screw themselves over so they can pick themselves up and learn not to fall. and if they can’t do that then they don’t deserve their psp

WOW AN UPDATE FROM SONY THAT INCLUDES MORE SECURITY SO I CANT HAVE FUN AND LOSE ALL FREEDOM WITH THE PSP WHATSOEVER………….YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY IM UNNA UPGRADE RIGHT NOW.

Buffer overflow exploits are pretty major problems, it would be irresponsible of Sony not to fix it…

Afterall you wouldn’t want to put what you thought was a naked picture of Angelina Jolie on your PSP just to find out that it was piggybacking code to brick your PSP.

only an idiot wouldn’t look at it first.

It was a simple example, I’m sure there are more creative ways to get the code there.

who would put a file in the photo section on their psp that claims to be a nude photo of angelina jolie without first looking at the picture?
this is a quesion that i intend to get answers for.
(which means i would like people to post their answers)

I can’t wait to download and try this out … Homebrew here i come … 2.81 is going to be awesome …. All the new updates :: Ummm ?? Updates Oh yea Security updates nevermind

I agree with you, the person would have to be an idiot (or young and naive) but that’s not really the point. It’s cheaper for Sony to implement a one line code change to fix the size of an array than it is to reflash and then mail back 10,000 idiot’s PSPs.

So as a direct answer to your question: ‘I wouldn’t, you wouldn’t, nobody who knows anything about PSP’s would – but that’s not everybody’. Now if it was a picture of Thora Birch then that’s a different matter…..

I imagine many people would.
Here’s how it would go.
Try to open file in Windows, get error saying it’s not a valid file, then throw it on PSP thinking that maybe it only works there.

You see you’re basing your view on the assumption that anybody and everybody even knows that you can screw up your PSP just by looking at a picture. I’d be surprised if 1 in 100 PSP users actually knows that.

Homebrwers are a very small percentage of the overall PSP crowd.

It’s only stupid to do something if you know better and do it anyways. And just because YOU know better about something, it doesn’t automatically mean that everyone in the world now does.

Did you know that I can compromise your privacy simply by sending you an email with an embedded image? Why do you think that Hotmail disables images in e-mails? Most people don’t know that, but for me it’s “common sense”.

People just think way too 2 dimensional.

lol, but i don’t know who that is

i did’nt know u could compromise privacy with an image, what do u mean

i was just thinking… wouldnt it be possible for, lets say 1.5 upgrade to be modified… so the PSP recognises it as lets say 2.9 or something?

XD
Sony cant win!
they can try as hard as they want…
i have an interesting theory about fanjita and sony… but im not gonna say anything in case it jeapordises fanjitas efforts…
XD sorry Sony, but we’ll always win

Thats probably been thought of and looked into just to realize that it can’t be done.

i just can’t wait until the newer version of devhook is released. i am already downloading the 2.81 update right now and when its finished i am going to unpack it and use the decrypter and wait for the new devhook.

Since image tags in HTML can point to any location, simply viewing an image can let spammers know that you’ve seen it, as well as giving them access to other information from the http header (your ip address for example).

If Sony were really clever they could release dummy firmwares that when unpacked and run through devhook, actually closed the holes in the PSP that allowed it to run!

But we won’t get there…..

It’s legal (legal in the programming sense, of course it’s “legal”)to use a program as an image

img src=”http://someURL/someprogram”

The program generates and outputs an image, heck it can even be a 1pixel x 1pixel transparent image, so you don’t even know it loaded, and at the same time, it sets a tracking cookie, logs your IP address, and verifies that the e-mail address is valid, and auto sends it to as many spam lists as the programmer wants it to. Bam just by opening one e-mail you’re now being tracked, and just doubled the amount of spam you’re going to get every day.

I not only know about this, I even know how to DO this, I once even wrote a tracker avatar, and started tracking forum members, just for an experiment. (I didn’t set them up to be spammed, just made some log files for testing purposes).
So you see, that’s why I say it’s only “common sense” if you actually know better. And that’s a perfect example for you why you should never have images enabled for unknown e-mails (and why some forums only allow avatars/signature pics ending with a proper file extension), but I bet almost nobody actually knows that, just as almost no “regular” PSP user would even imagine that they could kill their PSP just by looking at a picture, and thus the NEED for the update.

You are aware this libtiff exploit can be used for more than downgraders right? such as malicious code?

IF SONY REALY WANT TO IMPRESS US AND THE WHOLE WORLD THEN THEY SHOULD GIVE US A ACTUAL CHEAT SOFTWARE FOR THE PSP SO WE WOULD BEAT ALL OUR GAME FASTER AND BUY MORE GAMES FROM THEM BUT THERE ARE NOT THINGING THE WASTE TIME TRYING TO KEEP YOU GUYS FROM HACKING THERE SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE WHEN THEY SHOULD BE HIRING YOU GUYS TO WORK FOR THEM COME ON SONY THINK WITH YOUR BRAINS AND NOT YOUR WALLETS

and snarg, you’re talking bullshit – don’t embarass yourself by being a sophmoric moron.

Stewart.
First off, welcome to like 40 posts ago, we’ve already established that it could be used maliciously, that was my entire first point,
Second off, it’s obvious you have no intelligence, because you have instults with no actual points.

You’re like the 2 year old who says, “yeah , well you’re dumb” to win an argument.

THINK ABOUT IT WE WONT NEED TO HACK IT IF SONY WOULD JUST ALLOW IT BECAUSE ACTION REPLAY FOR PSP REALY SUCKS.

FIRST OFF MY GPA IS 3.9 AND I AM A DOUBLE MAJOR GRAD THAT RIGHT BATTYMAN IT/NET SO STOP SITTING IN YOUR MOMS BASEMENT WATCHING PORN WAITING FOR PSP HACKS GO FOR A WALK OR SOMETHING AND LET THE HACKERS DO THERE THING VIVA LA REVOLUTION HACKERS ARE THE GREATEST

uh I think I know what snarg means like I remember when the 2.00 downgrader was out there was another “program” that was simuliar it came with the real exploit .tiff but the .bin file that came with it would delete critical .prx files instead bricking PSPs.

I just never download homebrew off anywhere I don’t trust like if you use a well known site thats got populated forums like this one the chances of getting a “bricker virus” is pretty slim.

I dunno what he means by “tracker avatar” thing tho..

TRIGUNN1978
That’s great. None of my posts where directed at you, I have no beef with you (really have no beef with anyone, I just like to defend myself),
but with a 3.9 gpa, you’d think you’d know what a caps lock key was. ;)

Well, I have a 1.5, and a 2.8, and I can honestly say, they’re both great products. Homebrew scene is great, but sometimes its nice to not hassle w/ devhook just to play some Madden 07 on my 1.5. I hate when people knock sony for sucking or whatever, after all if it wasnt for sony, what would you be hacking right now…a DS???lame
Anyways Sony rocks, cant wait for ps3, and oh yes not only will i be buying their “overpriced” blue ray player,ps2 player, ps1 player,dvd player,cd player,mp3 player and ultimate gaming system,(AKA PS3) i will also be the guy sleeping in the parking lot of the local retail store ahead of you in line!

You’ll be 6 months ahead of me if I can’t get some money from somewhere :(

HEY TALONTS YOUR COOL TRUE GAMER VIVA LA REVOLUTION AND HACK THE WORLD ONE PC AT A TIME TRIGUNN OUT

@66 my friend works at target, hes gona snag 1 for me, if i can raise thee money

For the record, gpa’s do not mean shit. For instance, I had a terrible, I mean, bad gpa. But recieved one of the highest ACT test scores. I was a lazy turd in school.

@snarg

Nice points. Enlightening.

one way to write tracking programs that snarg was talking about can be done in PHP. It can run code and then output an image. the viewer will never be aware that code was run.

Yeah. ie: danasoft sigs

you know what? fuck homebrew, fuck emulators, and fuck hacking.
i just funished upgrading my downgraded 1.5 to 2.81, and it’s fucking awesome.

lol right after 2.80 got cracked, 2.81 comes out -.-

why would sony take their time making a new fw. its just gonna get crakced everytime.

i also just read that the 2.80 decrypter works also on 2.81 that sucks for sony

This is a problem because the best game of the psp are coming like GTA:VICE CITY STORIES ans MGS:PORTABLE OPS so they are going to work only in the 2.81 firmware or the 3.0 firmware, so in the future if you only have one psp you will need to decide between hombrew or original games.

that dollar bill u r holding has the touch of my sweaty nuts. if you see a writing like that its from me. i am not kidding. so watch out what you put in your hands. lol

http://sony.justgotowned.com/ Lol?

lmao

HAHA I guess Sony doesn’t like our game? If we hack 2.81 I swear to god I will go to Sony HQ and laugh in their faces with some homebrew playing on my PSP

lol i wat to see wat psp 2 has to offer

@blackman

Get a friend and a video recoreder and post on you tube >:D

I would update because of the libtiff exploit that is solving a problem for Sony, but I want to keep my Homebrew. So I am not going to update as of yet. (you know fw 3.00)

also can any one please tell me exactly what is in this update?

There’s a spy.

>.>

i just flashed 2.81 .. its killa dilla i love the new features .. awesome job s0ny you are the greatest.. what a quality release. yeeeha

LOL, I hope one day Sony’ll just say fuck it and take all that security off in the next FW…But that’ll never happen :(

Btw, it there anything on 2.81 besides more security?

You guys are such fucking idiots.

Why would anyone really wanna decrypt 2.81? All it does is get rid of one of our exploits. I say that to the guys sitting waiting for shit to be released. Not the developers, they should, to find more exploits in that firmware.

I don’t get it? Didn’t dax say that he was able to decrypt 2.8 cause of the tiff exploit, so how could it decrypt 2.81 as well if the tiff exploit don’t work no more?

they are finding stuff thats cool! But i have TA-82 with 2.71 if i had known before i would have bough a ZX-81 model!Oh DarkAlex,Noobz…. Pls find a way to usehomebrew in TA-82 as fast as possible!!

new bugs in 2.81 that weren’t in 2.71
no tiff images are diplayed; all are corrupted
sleep mode bug: play music and then put it to sleep. wake it up, and the music is corrupted, where in 2.71, it would pause
formatting the memory stick causes it to be unreadable by the computer

and so much more!
remeber, its only been out a day and all these bugs were found!

Snarg, you said, “They really couldn’t care less if any 1.5er uses the upgrade or not.”

Bullshit to the max. That’s over 80% of the reason. What does this update do? I hope it protects me from malicious software! : )

Jin, what the fuck are you talking about, its just like windows updates, its better for the system, dumbass.

lol sony is so lame they keep wanting to stop omebrew i can understand wanting to stop ppl from being able to run ISO’s but sony is kinda full of them self cuz theres like 3 good games thats it and funny they give you a ton of usless crap to intise you to upgrade and this time not a think they threw this together in a hurry

to upgrade or not to upgrade that is the question. Well it is really up to you. Sure there is the security fix but the psp fw does get better like the ability to put a mp4 in the video folder without any special way. Also of course the use of bigger memory sticks. Honestly its good to have two psp’s one with 1.5 and one with the most up to date for testing purposes. But I’m not worried hackers will always prevail hell did we ever think there would be 2.6 downgrader let alone a 2.71 downgradrer homebrew on a 2.80 psp my god. I’m not worried with 2.80 dumped and supposedly 2.81 will be dumped via devhook this is going to be an exciting time with the psp

This is so fuckin funny. I keep picturing these frustrated Sony businessmen sitting in a dark room slamming their fists on a table. EAT SHIT SONY!!!! hahahaha

haha. Pretty sure Sony employee are slamming themself on the wall since the 2.81 is decrytable with the 2.80 decryter. XD

DEVHOOK! PLS! SHOW YOURSELF!

nice

What does it say about Sony when they put out games on “Universal” Media Discs which are only used by the PSP, yet they are universal. Hackers had found a way to run these same games off of the memory stick. As far as I know this is better in every way. You can play multiple games without changing discs, they load faster and the PSP’s charge lasts longer. If copying PSP games is their big beef,why isn’t Sony putting their enrgy into legitimately running games off the memory stick?That would be because they’re clinging to the business model which has held true since the dawn of console games: Make people overpay for packaging and at the same time control distribution. They clearly don’t have the gamers’ interests in mind making moves like this.

i think there must be some kind of exploitin the ID3 tags…

Well Snarg, picture exploits are used to run arbitrary code by using buffer overflows and other bugs in software. “

whoops. where did the rest of my post go, basically i said that isn;t the format of libtiff, blah blah, that’s HTML and is a lot more secure.. but I’m sure someone was elite as yourself could give us a writeup and whitesheet/proof of concept to teach a little ‘2′ year old like myself something. ;)

I’ve been telling this into many forums and im sure lots ppl did the same.. what I’ve always said is..

everytime sony came out with a firmware .1 (1.51, 2.01,2.71 and now 2.81 is because there was a exploit in the recent firmware. 1.50 had kernal, 2.00 and the TIF exploit, 2.70??? DUNNO! lolll and 2.80 has just like many others.. TIFF exploit. So we now from now on.. if we see (.1) in a firmware version.. that there is something, somewhere. Plz ppl do not upgrade! Even if you think that it is a good idea.. let me tell you this.. IT IS NOT!

love my 1.50!

I accedentally updated my 1.50 to 2.81

damn dman dammit

Stewart! -

No offense, but you’re completely clueless in regards to the progress of the conversation.
You’re taking bits and pieces of it, and making assumptions without actually knowing the whole picture.

I didn’t say in any way, nor did I even imply in any way, that the 2 completely separate exploits have anything to do with each other in any way at all.
The point was that it’s Sony’s responsibility to fix the tiff exploit due to the fact that most “regular” (ie non-homebrew) users, wouldn’t know better than to not brick their PSP by accident, and there where scenarios for that given.

The HTML exploit came into play, when people asked “why would someone be stupid enough to open an unknown picture on their PSP?”. To which I explained that to me it’s common sense to not open an e-mail from a stranger while having images enabled, yet to most people they wouldn’t think twice about doing it (and an explanation as to why that’s a bad idea was given). Proving the point that it’s only stupid to do something if you know better and do it anyways, but what’s obvious to one, is not automatically obvious to all. (I’m sure I do “stupid” things all the time :P)

To which you responded with some childish comment insinuating that all the things I wrote where false, while giving absolutely no substance or basis for your conclusion, thus the “2 year old” comment. If you’re going to act like one, you’re going to get called one.

Now you come back and try to debunk my posts with a post that makes absolutely no sense in relation to the overall progress of the thread, and based on your previous post directed at me, you’re obviously attempting to be sarcastic and condescending, but still not making any actual comments to negate anything that I said, in the actual context that I said it. I have no problems debating, I rather enjoy it, and I even have no problems admitting when I’ve been proven wrong (or been given a viable alternate viewpoint), but that’s just doesn’t appear to be what you’re trying to do here.

Not sure what your problem with me is, but I’m not going to lose any sleep over it.

As a great man once said -
Success to you, even if you wish me the opposite.

@105.. that sucks . you deserve a smack in the mouth you jerk. i guess no homebrew is enough of a punishment for your actions. lol !

To Stewart-

I was originally going to make fun of you, just for shits and giggles. It would have been something totally random and silly like “Stewart has a smelly head.” But but BUT, I read your comment all the way through and I think you are the first person to really make a reasonable argument on Sony’s behalf involving all the updates which makes them seem like something other than a bunch of greedy assholes. Kudos to you on being a person with some intelligent insight to offer.

Regardless, I still am compelled to say…

IN YO MOTHERFUCKIN FAAAAAAACE SONY!!!!!!!! LOL

sony must really get stupider with every new firmware lol :D

i was reading up top and someone told someone else to shut up bcuz this new version of psp also has improvements? Then what are they ? lol them blocking the TIFF exploit and srewing you over? seriusly, think about… there on to us and their on to it hard since they have their people coming on this website every day. all they want to do is demolish everything this site is based on. they HATE us being able to play homebrew so why would they give US improvements? DONT UPGRADE you’ll be forever regretful

1. if you have any version below version 2.71 and is not a TA model, downgrade.
2.go onto torrentz download an a homebrew of your choice (bitcomet)
3.download DEVHOOK and install it onto your psp (as well as the WEB PORTAL your going to need this for surfing the web with aim, messenger, etc.)
4. drag and drop the iso into the iso folder (delete text “iso goes here”)
5. run devhook with a UMD in and that is it.

I feel sorry for the people upgrading since they won’t be able to enjoy….anything! except for 50 dollar games :( your choice

Snarg, way to avoid my main question. Now where is this whitesheet/P.O.C. of your so called HTML sploit? and your ‘forum tracker’.

lol it\’s funny how much SONY pays attention to the homebrew community. Lol, they probably check psp-hacks.com for updates so they know what to patch. They are probably the noobs in the forum that are like, \”how does this exploit work\”

Why are you people complaining about our awesomeness? I’d like to see you crack the code of our geeky yet ingenious Japanese coders and programmers. Let’s see what you can exploit now, bitches.

What? You’re gonna try and find another exploit? Good luck… just don’t say we didn’t try to um…brick your product.

On a side note, we will not repair your systems, since we now know when you have tried to hack it. Good luck :)

lmao @ 114
as if someone from sony would leave a comment here

Sony hate HB (or ‘unauthorised programs’ LOL) because for every minute you are using it, you are NOT playing a UMD, therefore they are not making ££ off you (or $$ in American money…er…).

Credit to Sony for making a really nifty bit of kit in the PSP….but bollocks to them for trying to limit what I can play on it.

Love

Kenny

that bastard is going around posting all kinds of shit and claiming to be sony, y would someone even want to pretend to be sony in here. and y would they be posting in here? its probably some 40 year old bastard living in his mothers basement, jacking off to pictures of kutaragi

As you zipper up and yell for more ice cream^

loser

me or sony

Damn I’m so High right now!. Oh shit! Wrong Site, disregard! disregard!.

if only sony would see further than their nose……………..no security, no firmware……..”sell how many psp’s would they” replied yoda. The internet sold how many computers?????????????

@ 117 118 and 119 nice BURN!!! stupid old peeps aint got nothing better to do. Bastards’ probably a pedophile

For everyone saying, “Quit making fun of Sony! They brought you the PSP!” When I make fun of Sony, it’s because they’re being dumbasses such as these updates. I’m not saying, “Oh man ***** the PSP.” I’m saying ***** Sony. And yes, quite a large difference. I think the PSP is awesome, when I get free *****. Sony is just making themselves look idiotic, who do they think they’re fooling? Everyone knows damn well these updates are here to stop exploits and right now that is it. “Omg larger GB sticks!” Wow, sweet. If you can’t use homebrew, do you really need 8 gigs of space? Sony is just pissed because they messed up and now they’re trying to quickly cover their screw-ups with patches, if they wouldn’t of done ***** like this in the first place, they wouldn’t have to worry about piracy. We bought our PSP’s, we’ll do what we damn well please with them. I forget who said something along the lines of their car can go 120MPH, they’re not allowed to drive that fast but their car can do it anyway, which is exactly how the PSP is, if the system is capable of such things, then it’s fair game.

the ball is back in your court sony, catch the ball. when the corp sony was still a wet nappy(no disrepect) people shared things, this is a human thing that no monster will understand ;)

121 – i laughed my ass off lol
124 – really nicely said ;)….kudos

Please can someone explain to me why anyone would really buy a PS3 when/IF it comes out? Let’s see, the games will be 10 pounds more (FOR THE SAME GRAPHICS), there is no rumble in the controllers, Blu Ray has the worst compression (MPEG2), most of the release games have already been out for a year. What type of person would seriously consider buying a PS3 when the XBOX 360 does it just as well if not better and at a MUCH MUCH cheaper price. The PlayStation/Sony era is coming to an end so I think it’s time everyone moves on.

lmao…when will they ever learn…you cant stop us…

don’t think so jack, or u will be disappointed to see, how many ppl will buy the PS3 (I’d too, if I had money)

Stewart –
I didn’t avoid any questions at all. Go read yoru post again, it reads like a snide remark, not a request.

And come on, do a google search, on remote images, there’s no need to do a whole write up on it, it’s very commonly known exploit. Not my fault you don’t know about it. When you become a server side developer and know what you’re talking about, and would even understand what I’m talking about, then you can come back and act snide. Until then, keep your unwarranted attitude in check, your just making yourself look like an ass.

ehh i really dont think sony realyl cares if we use homebrew or not, its just that these exploits leave possiblilities for some @$$holes to make viruses and shit to brick your psp, if iw as sony id like say “yo if u want homebrew only get it directly off http://www.psp-hacks.net, but please stop saying shit like ohh sony sucks, theyre just trying to save u $250

XBOX is my favorite console is fucking awesome,but the PS3…..got damn! those lines, the body, and the details….shit if that is the outside…..Hell yeah I want to try the inside. Another thing, I have a first generation GameBoy if you compare the first portable gaming device with the PSP……..My respect to Sony. come on microsoft is time you shine with a portable XBOX Portable. Imagine Microsoft building a gaming device…..Oh Shit let me roll another one to imagine it…..

i think sony is getting even more dummer from this update. i have already got 2.81 decrypted and still waiting for the new devhook. i hope it will load both 2.80 and 2.81. sony should learn a thing or two from the hackers they might even get smarter. if sony had only sold 1.50 psp’s they would make alot more mony. so come on sony USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN’S FOR ONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“New for 2.81: A patch has been added to address a security vulnerability in the system software.”

Thats US :D

Listen guys, let’s come together on this stuff. We’re all interested in the homebrewn scene on PSP. There’s no reason to fight about any of this.

1. Sony releases updates for their PSP b/c they wish to make profit. They do *NOT* make profit from homebrewn or PSP crashes. If anything, we’re testing every release for them to patch when [IF] another exploit is found.

2. The PSP is an amazing handheld and it’ll only get better in the future. We didn’t even have fast gameboy emulation till one month ago. Daedalus for N64 is still coming along also. My point is to be cool to others on these comments and try to understand we’re all working towards the same goal…ONE PIMPED OUT PSP!

man im so pissed right now. the people who hack the psps could have just kept the damm news untill 3.00 came out so we would be able to hack that one. thx alot guys now were screwed at hacking 3.oo

we’re not necacerily screwed, u never know how many holes sony left that no one knows about (including them). they may just be hard to find. i’m sure it we’ll have something for it eventualy.

I find it pathetic that there was actually this many holes to begin with. Thumbs up to Sony for knowing their own system.
To 135, I realize Sony doesn’t make money off of homebrew. Nothing we can do about that, the more they try, the more the hackers try, and it’s sad how they have their asses handed to them on a silver platter with all the tremmings at least once a month with some huge break through that they didn’t know about. So yes in a way the hackers are showing all the exploits, but we need those in order to run homebrew. I understand Sony has to fight this, but I’d honestly just give up. That’s been said before, but this cat and mouse chase with the hackers and Sony is a laughing stock the way a few people show up a whole corperation of coders and designers. I mean they used the UMD to “help prevent a wave of piracy,” was that their only precaution? ‘Cause that was tore apart the first week the PSP was out. They couldn’t of had full faith in the UMD alone, and now they make themselves look foolish by trying to play catch-up with the hackers everytime they discover another flaw. But ahhh it’s all been said before, so ah well. I guess instead of people bitching about how they want eLoaders and Downgraders for 2.80’s, Sony should actually come out with something, anything that’s actually half decent that they can call an update and not just “Oh this prevents malicious code,” as in Free games. And yes, you all know it, hah.

I can’t wait for have psp 2.8 downgrader, I need it so bad, I didn’t understand the concept at first, but after I upgraded 2.8 just to test out the flash and web capableilities, I find out what a horriable mistake I have made, I should totally stick to my original 2.6, so I can downgrader T_T. I hope it comes out in a month, cuz they already crack 2.71, 2.8 doesn’t have any new additional security update, so I hope they can make it ASAP.

Jin,…, nicely said ;)

i heard sony going down in profit lol dey need da moneyyy ££££ tryin 2 stop hackersss…. 2.81 what a joke…..

i upgraded to see what the big fuss was, i thought it would have the ps1 emu on it, sadly it doesnt, looks the same as 2.8 just no tiff exploit, this really sucks, wish i still had my 1.5 instead of upgrading to 2.81 right away

west……….dont u know, that never-ever-never upgrade, and 2nd, why dont u read what the new firmware has, b4 upgrading….cause ps1 emu is hopefully/maybe with fw 3.00

Snarg, you avoided it again. I want to be so like you! Please do a writeup. Pretty please! Or maybe even use one of these leet pictures to do what you did to those forum visitors. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Wow when will sony just give up! We have utilies made to speed up the hacking process, we are always working to find new exploits and all Sony is focued on is to “secure the PSP”.
WELL SONY STFU! DO WHAT YOU DO BEST AND GET GAME COMPANIES TO RELEASE BETTER GAMES or THE COMPANIES RELEASING GOOD GAMES, KEEP THEM AT IT. IF YOU HAVE BOTH GOOD GAMES RELEASED AND A PROTABLE SYSTEM NOT JUST CAPABLE OF 1st PARTY GAMES and MULTIMEDIA but 3rd PARTY CONSUMER INPUT, THEN YOU GET MORE PEOPLE SUPPORTING YOU.
ALL SONY IS DOING IS WASTING MONEY, TO PAY THEIR TIME TO BLOCK OUR METHODS OF RUNNING 3RD PARTY CODE, WHEN EVENTUALLY THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY TO DO SO.
One more thing Sony – IF MICROSOFT RELEASES A PORTABLE SYSTEM AND ALLOWS 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE, PSP MIGHT DIE! IF YOUR HOMEBOYS ARE ON THESE FORUMS READING THIS, JUST REMEMBER THERE IS A COMPETITION THAT CAN SEE WHAT CONSTUMERS WANT AND EVENTUALLY BEAT YOU! DONT LET THAT HAPPEN!

AMEN!
*cough* i yeeelled way to much *
long live the PSP! *1.5 with devhook 2.71*

sony gets screwed once more

shut up greatflakez u need a slap u dumf*k

sony creaTED THE PSP U LOT R DUMB TO BE CALLING SONY STUPID AND POINTLESS BECAUSE IF U WERE IN THEIR POSITION U WOULD BE DOING THE SAME THING

Weak, maybe this exploit could have been used for kernbel mode, if so, they should have kept quiet about it till the psx emu was out and really got some use out of it……

stfu steve foxy , hackers dont hate sony thay hate sony’s attitude towards fw

@steve foxy , and how can u say were pointless , HOME BREW IS THE POINT lol dipshit

I agree with greatflakes and psp zombie,
Stevefoxy stfu and shove the rod^ yours

umm i accidentaly upgraded is there a downgrader yet

at the risk of sounding like a complete noob…. some of the newer addons to the software are kinda handy eg. i use the rss feed daily, im always on the browser, i can now play flash movies on my psp, and i can look at my psp in some foreign language i dont understand and then spend the next 15 minutes trying to find the button that changes it back to english… fun stuff

I Must Admit Sony sure knows how to manipulate our lust for a Technical enviroment. Its a shame that they have to withhold technical advances in order to cover there own finnacial losses. Im sure the PSP can fly and sony knows it! The fact that they don’t is Sony’s way of controlling the consumer market of digital electronics. The PSP is nice little Piece of work and I’m hopefull its not scrapped because of Hackers trying to belittle its full potential that sony has allready allocated in the near future.As a techy I cant wait to see the better firmware from sony for the PSP but a consumer I’m somewhat pissed that I have to wait until Sony can afford to release it.Give Sony Credit they didn’t just build a PSP they Created it.

Well,

OOPS! I got my psp from a friend for helping him load his truck so he could move to Texas. The first night I was messing around with it. I found the area to input info for my wireless network to get on the net. The firmware upgrade popped up. I didn’t think much of it since I had not been in this scene, so I upgraded. The next day I started wondering if you could play old NES or SNES games on it and started searching, and………. like I said……oops! Damnit I wanted to be able to play Super Mario world on the plane along with other games that came along with it from my friend. Also my 4 year son would love to play Super Mario on it. I don’t hate sony for the upgrade but I do hate the fact that I have to wait for another hack in order to play the good old oldies. They did what they had to do and now the hackers will do the same (I hope). I will wait till then and then get to playing the oldies. Along with buying the UMDs if I like them.

ummmmmmmmm oops i accidentaly upgraded and i need the 2.81 downgrader

damn, before I even know about homebrew I updated it to 2.81, so do you guys think there will be a 2.81 downgrader???

ya go dax um i have a favor 2 ask u help me ,i fucking fucked up can u hurry up with the downgrader

I fucked up 2, :( cant wait for the downgrader, but theres no point moaning about it, i fucked up, any 2.81 user fucked up (that is those who want homebrew) im just gonna have to wait for a downgrader, people said 2.71 couldnt be hacked, and 2.80 couldnt, look now, its just a matter of time for all who want the downgrader

amen

Mine came with 2.81 Just got it two days ago… I love it! Sure I can’t play snes games and stuff but at least I know mine is going to last and be safer and play the best software. :)

Sure I like to play roms … mabey I’ll buy a 2nd cheaper used one to do so. But No need cause I can play roms anyways on my laptop and PC.

Looking forward to Ps3 … and thanks for all the nice ciments to help me decide what to do.

With the PSP, some modifications CAN actually brick your console, unlike the DS and Nintendo DSi.
