Though many have have had doubts about the Illusion Cheat Device since the very moment it was released, there is still quite a following of users who believe that the first multiplayer cheat device for SOCOM: FTB for PSP is a legitimate release. This is not the case. After careful inspection by top PSP developers, it has been noticed that the Illusion is nothing but a "Hello World" application not-so-cleverly disguised as a multiplayer hack, which promised to bring rapid-fire, unlimited ammo, and much more to the infrastructure mode of the game. Since its release, not a single person has managed to run the hack successfully, and nobody has found the supposed #2 on the back of SOCOM's UMD. Furthermore, a conversation with the developer, Static, yielded an outright statement that Illusion, is in fact, a fake. There you have it folks, Illusion is now a
confirmed fake.
As some said, the "Illusion was really just an illusion"; yet another fake application released in the PSP scene for the sole purpose of boosting the reputation of an online nametag, in this case, "Static". The overall result of these findings is double-sided; the individuals who enjoy using multiplayer hacks are disappointed, yet the honest online gamers can now rejoice; SOCOM for PSP is still hack-free!
