PSP Still Rocks
So, I’ve been kind of neglecting my PSP in favor of my DS for a while. Mainly because a man can only tolerate so much Lumines. But, while I was away, Sony released a new firmware that allows you to play PS1 game rips on your PSP.
And because I’d been away for so long, this firmware had already been hacked to allow you to play homebrew, umd isos, and ripped PS1 games (normally you have to pay) on the PSP. So, score. AND the guy that is behind all this firmware hacking, Dark-AleX has done something truly incredible. It used to be that you had to reboot your PSP into different firmware, use loaders, and many other less than stellar methods to boot non-official software. Now, Dark-AleX has released complete firmware replacements, with all the great features and compatibility of the newer firmwares as well as reduced security so you can run whatever you want on it. Fantastic.
I use to dread the release of the GPS and Camera for PSP, since it meant I would have to upgrade my PSP to a firmware that would not allow me to run non-official software, but now I can’t wait. It truly is a good time to own a PSP.
