Because nearly everyone even little 14 year olds love to hack it, why make games for it, if you know people will just get it for free of the internet..

 

Is the hacking really THAT easy to do?  Please don't respond if it somehow violates the rules of this forum to talk about such things.

 

 

Its exceedingly easy to hack it, its easy to hack anything if you have the correct sized screw drivers, a steady hand and any gubbins that is given to you in a step by step guide you might need.

In the case of the PSP its on the easy end of the scale.

You need....

 

1. Pandora Battery (an offical Sony battery that has been software modded to think its a "service battery") OR a pre-made jobby like the Datel "TOOL" battery.

2. 512mb Pro Duo card.

3. About an hour to have a look on google how it works.

 

If you have a friend who has a hacked PSP already they can help you make the "pandora battery" with the hacked PSP (an unhacked one can't make it).

 

Once hacked you can rip your UMDs to a memory stick and then compress the the ISO images even smaller -> then load them from the "game" menu on the PSP as if they were normal UMDs etc.

 

Anyway's I don't think me posting this is against the rules, hacking your PSP isn't illegal.

Just so you're aware the latest PSP3000 and the PSPs with mobo revision TA88v3 haven't been hacked yet so don't get a "new" PSP.

If I were you I'd just get one on ebay, much easier!

 

It's funny, people often blame ease of piracy on the PSP as the reason for its poor software sales without mentioning how easy it is to pirate on the DS.

All one needs to do is purchase a flashcart and you're away laughing. It's just as easy if not easier than the PSP.

We can't say how much piracy affects DS software sales, but I suspect it's more significant than many think.

 

i don't think people who will buy brain training know how to pirate games
