Uhh... he's not running custom firmware. If he was, he would never have gotten the "Pause Game/Quit Game" screen when pressing the PS button.

This doesn't prove that the PSP Go was hacked. It only proves that the PSP Go had a custom "game" created for it to say "Hello World" and to show the code.

Did you even read the article? It clearly states that custom firmware is out of the question.

Besides, the fact that the "pause game" shows up wouldn't necessarily mean that it wasn't custom fimware. A 6.10 PSP GO custom firmware would have the pause game feature.

He clearly paused the game in the way that you would pause any game to go back to the XMB. I did read the article and I did watch the video. Custom Firmware would have the pause game feature, but why would you use it on the custom firmware to return to the existing PSP XMB? This video doesn't show anything that proves that it is custom firmware. It only proves that he is using custom made software on the PSP Go. This doesn't mean that he "hacked" the system. How do we know he doesn't have a development kit and just created something that will run on the PSP Go?

Also as I rewatch the video, it states that it runs on "All PSP Firmwares and Hardwares". If it runs on the PSP-3000 and if he claims that it will, it is in turn software, not firmware.

Can you tell me where in the video or the article that it says it is firmware? Hacked doesn't neccesarily have to mean custom firmware.

And yes, it is software. It is a save game exploit which in turn is considered a "hack" as the psp is doing something it wasn't made to do - run unsigned code.

to all the xtremeace above me:

it was just an exploit! and not a firmware or Custom firmware!.. FreePlay only shows that exploits are also vulnerable in PSPgo!.. TO freeplay nice job!.. keep it up and I wish there would be a newer Custom Firmware by dark-alex to PSP PHAT and SLIM!!!!...

to cloudhunter: you are better than a noob haa!!., because you now what is a CFW and an exploit!

It's good to see a sign of PSPgo exploit ingenuity.

Haha, Sony.. Sony.. Sony.. When will you learn. Props to FreePlay for putting the first little crack into the PSPgo Homebrew future.

It's amusing reading xtremeace's responses. It's like he didn't bother reading a single word and skipped straight to the video, and picked it apart.

Kids, don't do what xtremeace did. Read everything and then watch the video. An exploit is not a CFW. Perhaps it could eventually lead to one, but without reaching the Flash, it's impossible. Still a good find though, it shows that Sony's security is still flawed, at least more so then originally presumed.

SONY, you can't stop piracy,...just admit it, you can't!!! hahaha...hoooray!!!

It's not piracy we chase, it's homebrew capabilities... >.<

And the fact the psp can do more than what SCE decide to drip feed, just think about the internet thing with FW2.00 - Introduced to stop people sticking to FW1.50 :sad:

IIRC we had web browsers up and running with 1.50 so Sony took that from us ;)

Your right, before my PSP broke i was still using the 1.5 fw and i had a full brwser. Flash and everything.

edit- and oh, maybe this is the beginning of more homebrew games and apps? That are user mode of course. Im sure people will start developing these more now since the damn prices of even the minis are expensive.

user mode would be fine except that the exploit would have to be applied after every coldboot which obviously is far from convenient.
