According the French site PSP-Gen, Sony has stepped up its game against custom firmware. Evangelion: Jo, only available in Japan at the moment, packs quite the punch. The game includes a function to check for custom firmware and if the check comes back positive then the user is blocked from playing the game.

So there might be hope for us yet, but who knows. Only time will tell. Qj.net said this is Sony's strike against homebrew. In this author's opionin, it is more a strike against the ever growing piracy issue on the PSP.
