Sony PSP Cracked Again
Crackers claim to have found a new vulnerability in the software running Sony's PSP that could allow them to run so-called home-brew applications on the device. A user posted a description of the hack, as well as files that help users perform it, on the PSP3d.com. enthusiast website.
The vulnerability will allow users to modify the portable gaming device to allow the installation of a different version of the firmware.
The crackers are currently working on the software required to perform that task, according to postings on the PSP3d website.
Current models of the PSP ship with firmware version 2.5, but some users prefer to run the older version 1.5 because this allows them to run the home-brew applications.
Such applications allow users to add functionalities to the portable device, letting it display text files, for instance, or play streaming music from the internet.
Starting with version 2.0 of the firmware, Sony has blocked users from installing custom applications. The move set off a game of cat and mouse where crackers hacked the software and downgraded it to the 1.5 version.
When Sony upgraded to version 2.5, it once again blocked the hack that was used to downgrade the application. Sony could not confirm the latest crack described on the PSP3d website.
Connect Your PSP to Xbox 360
How does it sound to connect your new Xbox 360 console with Sony's PSP?
Well, game blog Joystiq claims that it has succeded to connect an Xbox 360 with Sony's PSP portable game machine through a simple USB to USB mini connector.
The Xbox 360 recognizes the PSP as a "portable device" and allows users to navigate through the PSP?s file system, and navigate through the images and audio files.
Similarly, the Xbox 360 is able to communicate with Apple's iPod through Apple's USB 2.0 interface |
