Is it inconceivable for a talented programmer or group of programmers to recode version 2.0 to exclude whatever measures were implemented in 2.0 that prevent homebrew? Better yet, is it possible to create a homebrew OS that has all the requirements needed to play UMD games but also run (homebrew) apps, video, music, etc off the memory card?
How long did it take the homebrew community to construct an OS for the XBox after it's release?
Probably need a modchip to do that. There should be a modchip out in november 19th, only on ebay. Here's the whole news from pspupdates.com:
