I think sony would if you had to pay, but there are so many sites where you can download games for free that sony would not be able to control the piracy and would get sued, so they are just covering their backs.

I figured pricing homebrew would be first on people's minds. There has to be something that can change Sony's mind, or at least turn them in a different direction.

Ive been thinking of this ever since i upgraded to 2.50(without knowing what id done) Why dont we find a compromise with sony like us paying for a umd/firmware upgrade that lets us run what we want. i dont see why they are trying to kill the psp's potential as they have already got the money off us 4 the psp itself.

Sony Japan Announces Game Yarouze Design Competition
Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has announced its Game Yarouze (Let’s Make a Game) 2006 competition, which begins on November 15. This competition, now in its 11th year, asks aspiring game designers to send in their ideas, and for those accepted, Sony will finance the project with the loan of an office and staff, and will pay cost of living and production expenses.

Previous successful games created through this process include XI [sai] (AKA Devil Dice) and the Doko Demo Issho series. This year marks the first that applicants will be able to submit ideas for PSP and PS3 titles, and both professional and amateur game designers are encouraged to apply (even existing corporations can apply).

Application is to be done through Sony Japan’s dedicated website, which will launch on the November 15. Submissions will be accepted until February 28, 2006, though the contest is only open to Japanese residents. Upon completion of the software, Sony reserves the right to put it on the market, which, for the armchair game designer, is perhaps the greatest prize of all.

thats not homebrew though is it,thats some crappy homemade games, i want to play sensible soccer, cannon fodder, chrono trigger streetfighter 2 etc on my psp and then play GTA:LCS on umd when i take a long trip down to salisbury plains for training, as well as maybe watch an mp4 dvd rip off the MS rather than have a constantly spinning umd disk drain my battery in no time at all, for this reason i would also like to back up my umd games

i hate it how sony have stopped homebrew with new FW it makes my psp half as usefull to me, i cant afford to splash out on new games all the time and homebrew lets me get the best from my psp, in fact emulation is the MAIN reason i bought it, and if 2.5 cant be cracked ill keep my psp at 1.5 or buy a 2.5 psp for new games but that would suck and if that happens i will devote my life to pirating sony games just to get my own back
