The PSP has once again been cracked. Not long ago there was an exploit found in the new 2.80 Firmware for the PSP and it didn't take long for them to use this exploit to boot homebrew. Now with this new revelation homebrew can be booted from version 2.0, 2.01, 2.50, 2.60, 2.70, 2.71, and 2.80 firmware. The above image shows the infamous "Hello World" text displayed on the various firmware versions as proof. To run the exploit you must:
- Unpack the ZIP file to your PSP's PHOTO folder
- Navigate to your PSP's PHOTO director and attempt to view the newly transferred picture
This is big news because I myself am a fan of homebrew applications because they can add a lot of value to such hardware (Xbox Media Center being the main one) and to see the PSP open once again it shows that Sony's efforts are lacking in terms of security. For the file itself I won't link to it but a general search in your favourite search engine will bear fruit. Interesting times ahead, especially now the latest firmwares support GPS and the EyeToy attachment.
