First PSP games pirated

[05/05/05 14:40] Internet piracy groups finally manage to 'rip' PSP games - playable versions expected soon After a few piracy-free months, PSP has finally been cracked open by persistent hackers, with ISO files of Vampire Chronicles, Ridge Racer and Wipeout Pure having now been 'released' on to the internet. The first batch of games to have been successfully copied from UMD discs and into the ISO image format (a file type used to pack and store multiple files - in this case those files found on PSP UMDs) made it on to the internet sometime last night and indicate that PSP's piracy-free days are numbered. While the games have been made available to download, there's currently no way of actually playing them on your PSP, as no UMD writing device exists to perform the necessary action of creating a pirate UMD game. So why bother pirating them at all then? Well, aside from the simple answer "because they can", these ISO files containing all the PSP UMD disc data will be a massive aid to PSP 'homebrew' programmers, who are currently beavering away on unsigned software applications for the machine. Illustrated by the picture on the right, one techie has already managed to get his unsigned software application running on the machine, a program which has been placed on PSP's memory stick and run through its own main menu. Hackers are now developing software that will allow the currently-pirated games (which range from 100MB to 500MB in size), along with any future 'rips', to run via the memory stick in a similar fashion

I'm glad that these persistent hackers have finally developed a way to crack the uncrackable PSP UMD's. I was starting to lose my patience on having a Pirated version of the games that I was regretting on getting a PSP. But thankfully my prayers are starting to get noticed. =D yay! haha I just hope that they do find a way to find blank UMD discs and burn these ISO images on em, cause after doing a canvassing of the Memory Cards around the area, a 1 gig costs around 15000 and a 2 gig is doubled that price....waaaaay much more than the console itself!!

I'm guessing Sony had the forsight that the closest way hackers/crackers can get to pirating their games were through their Memory cards and that is why they overpriced the sunovaabiatch! But i think it's well worth it...all I have to do is just store these ISO images on to my pc and just copy it on to the memory disk...that way I don't have to buy a game ever again...it would just suck that I'd have to go to my pc every time I want to change the game...Hassle amputa!!

It's been a frustrating week for me. My birthday wasn't bad at all, I got to spend time with people I Love. Problem was it wasn't spending it all together. I was really hoping to introduce Jaja to my parents for the past 2 days, but due to miscommunication and my folks not having a celly to keep in touch, my plans were foiled.

*Sigh* It would've been nice to introduce my girl to my rents and show 'em who had been keeping me HAPPY for the past couple months. In all honesty, Jaja was my special gift on my birthday. Her coming into my life has been such a ...
