Holy Flying Batman! There's a reason that article was on MyQj.net and not the official PSPUpdates.qj.net, which is written by paid bloggers nonetheless.

Wait 2.80/2.81 have been fully decrpted? Does that mean devhook will emulate it wheN?
Yea, it's been fully decrypted since whenever 2.81 was released. The decrypter was made by Dark_Alex and released the day before 2.81 came out. We'll be able to emulate it whenever the hell Booster gets around to implementing support for it in the next Devhook release.

no real benefits to adding it into devhook
I'll take RSS Video Streaming. I'd call that a benefit.

ok first gta will be 2.71 like all games from now til november 15th
That "black magic" of yours must not be working anymore. Prove what you say with facts, not BS. You can't BS a BSer.

Quote:
3.0 will not even be pre announce til spring of 07
3.0 will be out by the end of November. I gurantee it. Look at Sony's press event stuff from E3.

Quote:
Oh thank god vcs is 2.71.
There's no way in Hell Sony will their biggest PSP game on a firmware that's currently out and can be emulated nonetheless. VCS will definetly have 3.0 backing it.

@stevenps2

Yeah, I'm also playing it on emulated 2.71 fw. As long as the option for 'UMD Version' is '2.xx-->2.00' is used, it works fine. To test this, I changed 'UMD Version' to 'No Change', and when I tried to load the iso, it gave me the 'update to 2.8' message. Changed 'UMD Version' back to '2.xx-->2.00', and the message never came up again. I never really understood this option, is this making the PSP think any 2.xx FW UMD is a 2.00 UMD? If this is so, does this mean that we won't have any problems playing 2.8 (and possibly 2.81) UMDs on emulated 2.71 FW with this particular setting under Dev Hook?? Pretty interesting, can anyone enlighten me on this matter??

ya guys remember theres always fixes to, and prx swapping if we have to go to extremes. But i think we'll be ok for vcs. It's just like killzone liberation thats 2.71 and has like the same release date as vcs. We'll have to see just don't get freaked out about nothing we have no clue about yet.



In fact I think we would be fooling our selves if we have a community this large, and did not realize that there are some enemies present.

Yeah, i have seen fake versions of it though.. on youtube.. fake 3.0 versions being made.. but the system settings say version xx.xx but not 3.00!

PSP Update isnt out yet.. on the official psp website, the latest uodate is 2.81.. which i went and stupidly updated, now im stuck but i have nother psp with firmware 2.5 so im ok.

personally i think..... any psp game can run on any firmware, even the oldest firmware (1.0) for that matter, i think the firmware game requirement bul&$!% is just a sony forced implication on all 1st and 3rd party game makers to counter homebrew (erh piracy).
based on what i have reaserched/read, a knowledgeable programmer can strip (rip) the firmware requirement on any psp game, but that will take too long and too much, so idea is trashed/not much popularized and homebrew programmers opted in making something that will emulate the firmware requirement (devhook or any other UMD loader uses this popular technique) hence ending the trouble of ripping each game that will be released.
nobody can say/guess what firmware will be required for a psp game until it is released because the game maker can just easily slap whatever firmware version requirement software even just a single hour/day before the actual UMD Game makes it production. and based on what is written here, since there are few games now requiring FW 2.8x whats stopping rockstar and other game makers on doing the same? yeah i know, like most of you, i am also hoping devhook can immediately play GTA:VCS on release day, but sorry to say we have to face the truth that they have have the power at will.
but be very possitive that if we cant play GTA:VCS on devhook, someone will still rip it! this is the kind of power the Homebrew Community Has! Even if looks like Impossible, just wait and "The Community" will try to make it Possible!

Not quite. There's certain things in each firmware update that the UMD needs in order to play. Look at GTA, it couldn't play on 1.5 for a long time because it was missing a file that was in the 2.0 update. That file was the difference in allowing it to play on any other firmware. It's the same with most other UMDs out there.

DUH! What company doesn't want to protect it's assests and products from being pirated. Why would Sony want you to be able to pirate their own commercial games that they want you to pay for. They need to stop piracy and homebrew so that they can still make a profit off the PSP
system.

That's not always the case. Even if you can get it done sometimes, it still won't run because it's missing files that the game needs in order to be played.

Quote:

No they can't. Trust me, that's definetly not the case most of the time.

Quote:

It won't. You people have to realize that there's no way in hell Sony is going to put the PSPs biggest game on a firmware that can already be hacked and emulated. Not gonna happen. It'll require 3.0 without a doubt.

Quote:

Ripping the UMD doesn't do jack. I had the ISO of GTA 2 months before the MPH Game Loader even came out, so I couldn't play it between then on my 1.5.

It's not "The Community". It's a few talented developers and programmers.
