ive done some research lol

Trojan.PSPBrick arrives as an archive file named EXPLOIT 2.0 PSP Team V1.RAR which consists of the files overflow.tif and h.bin. Instructions call for the file h.bin to be placed in the root of a USB device and overflow.tif in the folder /PSP/PHOTO/. This archive may also contain a text file called PSPTEAM.NFO.

When executed, Trojan.PSPBrick performs the following actions:


Deletes the following critical system files:


/vsh/etc/index.dat
/kd/loadcore.prx
/kd/loadexec.prx
flash6:/kd/init.prx

Notes:
These files are required for restarting the Playstation Portable device correctly.


Displays the following message:

"Your 2.0[REMOVED]oot "
"Thank you P[REMOVED]ch team"
"Fu[REMOVED]ooser"


Displays the following message, when the file overflow.tif uses an exploit to cause the execution of h.bin:

"PS[REMOVED]2.0 firmware"
"Thank's t[REMOVED]2.0 exploit :)


Prevents the Playstation Portable device from restarting correctly once the Trojan is executed by exploiting the the Sony PSP Photo Viewer TIFF Image Handling Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

why create a virus for psp? why not, instead work on playing isos and homebrews on later firmwares? seems to make more sense, unless you have some sort of fear of the psp and want to destroy them all with a virus.
