Hello World! A meer two days after the PSP Go! is released to the world, it has already been hacked by the elite in PSP hacking. The one behind this hack is called FreePlay.
This is more of a proof of concept thing because as the PSP may be hacked, it is complicated to do and has some problems that need to be fixed before (if) it is released.
Here are FreePlay’s comments on the hack:
- This was a known exploit that was abandoned because better prospects came along. I did not discover it; I just figured out how to make it work properly. Better hackers than I likely figured it out way before I did; they just never used it for anything I know of.
- I won’t be releasing this or divulging the name of the game involved. It’s a proof-of-concept, and it may become more developed privately, but until there’s a worthwhile reason to release it it’ll stay private. I’d prefer that Sony not patch it before it becomes really useful.
- It’s user-mode only, meaning no flash modification, no piracy, no advanced custom themes, no plugins -- none of that. I wouldn’t expect anything else to come from it, unless I get some help.
There is no officially word about whether or not it will be released and in how long but even so, this is great news proving that the previously ‘unhackable’ PSP Go! is not quite as unhackable as said to be.
