It needs to be encrypted for the psp IPL checks to read the firmware as sony signed (I think that is right or nearly right), that was a big giveaway to why the epilson bios was total bullshit, well the bullshit is what they were saying it could be ran from the mod-chip, it could be emulated with something like devhook (if they had even decrypted 2.71 which they haven't).
