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!!

 What da dilly!? hehe Man I've just been chillin lately...

I need somethin new to do to keep me from gettin bored. At the moment I'm listening to Common's newest album release Be, have to admit that it's ill as fuck. Head boppin music that's just right for my current mood.

So let's see what's new to talk about...hrmmmmm......

Aside from me braggin of snaggin a PSP *Ahem* The homie Secho recently had a birthday inuman at their new crib. It was toite, haven't gotten that plastered for the longest m'fuckin time! And of course I told Jaja that I had plans of gettin shit faced ahead of time so that I'd have assurance of gettin back home safely.

Well the night was chill, it was the first time I really got to show Jaja how it is with the boys when we kick it. We played Hold 'em for a bit and talked, caught up with what's the latest buzz.

Apparently one of my boys got his girl pregnant, now it didn't really shock me at all, but it did place me in a mode of questions. I asked him what next? What are his plans for him, his girl, and the baby that they're supposed to bring in.

No need to really talk bout the conversation we had, but it did make me think of how normal it is that how families nowadays are not planned. I'm just glad that I'm not one of the statistics that has a family at an early age unprepared.

Funny how there were 5 couples at the party, 2 had baby's on the way and 1 already has one, that's 3 to 2! now that made me shake my head of dissapointment havin that thought.

Of course I couldn't help but have a casual conversation with Jaja about it after the party and yeah, it was just nice that we both have the same opinions about it, we both agree that Family planning is VERY important and that starting a family ain't no joke! Me, I believe I'll plan havin a family after I turn 30, uh-uh I'm gettin anybody pregnant before that age. I'll get my ass some financial stability before I even entertain that thought.

Well anyway a quick segue, today was a different day...

I had a quick episode of Meet the Parents! haha it was pretty cool...Nice to get into a relationship where the family is filled with love. I've gotten with girls who had a broken family and honestly that reflected onto our relationships and that is why now they're just on the ex's category. hehe anyway Family values is really a must when looking for the right mate...it is a good way of seeing how well your relationship will go. Jaja's parents were very ma-kwela just like her...haha i actually got to see how she got to be the way she is. It's a nice thought of bein accepted and getting along well with your girlfriends family. It's also nice not having to work too much on getting accepted unlike her, haha she has to go through the wire with mines. lol...

Well anyway let me wrap this shit up...I'm not gonna get all too serious cause I've learned my cousin Abby be readin this shit...broadcasts it to my siblings...and when I get to chat with my bro and sis...they laugh at me sayin I'm sappy...well HA! all I got to say...I get mines bitches!!! lol =P

Peace!!
