BIA: Hell's Highway 'Realism' trailerThe new, slim PSP was released less than 24 hours ago, and already hackers have managed to extract the important contents of the 3.60 firmware, exploiting the hardware for current and future homebrew applications. Apparently, with the exploit, hackers have learned about the updated hardware. The NAND memory that the new system is 66MB exactly. This has been added to improve load times and battery life.
Despite the recent outlawing of PSP homebrew discussion on Sony's official forums, it's apparent that the PSP homebrew scene remains unaltered. No matter what new firmware or hardware comes out, there are people everywhere to exploit it for the freedom of "educational" purposes.
Sony released information about a redesigned PSP at E3 2007, known as the PSP 2000 in North America and PSP Slim and Lite in Europe.. The new PSPs are 33% lighter and 19% slimmer than the original system.

I can't help wonder if sony is crackign down cause of their "support" for homebrew. meaning that, well now that we will "support" it (their idea of homebrew that is) that we don't want this rogue stuff happening and confusing people?
I love my psp and I don't run homebrew on it (cause with my luck I would brick it) but I do feel as if sony is giving mixed messages in terms of supporting homebrew and the like.
At the end of the day I wish it was a tad bit eaiser to play videos on the psp. I mean I love mp4 and all but....damn, somtimes I just want to watch a crappy avi/mpg2 of old anime while on vacation :P
psn id: gingo... as long as they are doing it to improve the psp then i'm all for it
sorry this comment is off subject I kind of wish that screen was a little bit smaller the jaggies on the this are phenomenal
If I might add I believe the 'user comment' box should be replaced by the 'paste as Plain Text' box. back in the day the User interface box was more versatile now it's too plain and simple. what are your opinions on that?
Home Brew by it's true definition are original applications made by non commecial entities for use in open hardware environments. Not exploits and hacks to run code on closed hardware. It's not homebrew it's piracy lets get it straight!/// I fully intend to mod my old PSP to run PS1 games but only the ones I own, no downloading ISOs for me. But I fully intend to by the new PSP for regular games (cash back rewards are awesom!) I agree one of the last things Sony can do to make the PSP a joy to own is to give use easier video playback. But baring that I suggest getting Total Video Converter it works great for PSP transcodeing (although MKV subtitles tend to get lost.).
