Oh ya ? I know why sony tricked us into Upgrading the PSPs and i'll tell you know.

After sony released 1.5 firmware for upgrade, hackers hacked their first firmware ( I think ) making it possible for people to play homebrew games DevHook; UMD ISOs of the start menu without any programs. Sony had observed this matter and released Firmware 2.0 without that compatiblity. The hackers had an even harder time and then came up with eloader. But ! to use eloader, you had to own an unpatched version of GTA LCS, to load homebrew. The hackers had also made it possible to downgrade Firmware versions abouve 1.5. When sony released 2.5/2.6, They made it look impossible to downgrade those two fimwares and to downgrade, this time you needed GTA LCS. Sony contacted Rockstar games to " Patch " their new copies of GTA LCS because of the current "unpatched versions" people use to ddowngrade their PSPs and as well launch Homebrew. Rockstar games agreed and " Paatched" up GTA LCS and most people who dont like the game, ended up wasting their money because they would not have know about the 2006 patch. Sony released 2.70 - 2.71 making it impossible to run homebrew ISO loaders, Emulatos etc. But with the new internet flash feature, people were now able to launch flash games ( Booooorrrrriiiiinnnnnggggg AKA Boring ). Hackers recently released a " Hello World " .tiff program which demonstrated to PSPs that the homebrew could be run by a single .TIFF program run on all 2.XX firmwares. 2.7 - 2.71 Downgrader was also recently released and was successfully downgraded within minutes without the use of GTA LCS. Now 2.80 is a step away and with the screenshots of Firmware 3.0, most PSP owners are waiting for it because it has a PS1 emulator and sony is trying their best to trick us to upgrade.
Thank you for listening to what I had to say. Thank you.
