Sony PSP 1.50 Swap Trick
Negroiso writes "It appears that the folks over at PSP-DEV have created a swap trick for your PSP 1.50 to play your homebrew applications.
It requires two memory sticks to use. Please read the included tutorial on how to use the exploit properly." Here is the PSP 1.50 Exploit as well as
website mirrors.
Who's there?
Sony and the DMCA.. HAHA HA HAHAHAHA... *blank stare*

Try the old "swap trick" at your EB. If you're fast enough, there you go.
This is nice and all but I'm waiting for the development of blank, writeable UMD disks. Anyone with me?
Avarus animus nullo satiatur lucro.
I stuck a paperclip down the slot and shorted the damn thing out. The levels are particularly dark, but the load times are now instantaneous. I just can't seem to get the PSP to do anything else which is a bit of a downside.
You misspelled "pirated".
Old people fall. Young people spring. Rich people summer and winter.
"I don't enable CAR THEFTS, I just make master keys that people with lost car keys can use, and drop them in phone booths on MLK Blvd. If you want to use them for stealing cars, how is that my fault?"
I'd say go to a store and shove one up your ass.

I was really excited about this, until I read that it's a swaploit
So you got excited over the "Sony PSP 1.50" part of the title, took a short rest then got all down after you'd chugged through the last couple of words?
It's kind of worrying though that it's considered normal to have to resort to some sort of hack to run the code you choose on a programmable device that you own.
Anyone ever wonder what the world would be like if we'd all grown up with BBC Micros, ZX Spectrums, Amigas etc that only ran code someone else had approved?

I bought a PSP, the DAY they hit the store, for no other reason than to hack into a websurfer for the couch, and for Pseudo PDA type handheld web based dev.
.......day late and a dollar short...
I have waited PATIENTLY for an exploit and began to loose interest, other than using the Wipeout Pure trick to surf the web.
I got so discouraged I let my kids play with it, 8 and 13 and it promptly got knocked off a table by my wife screen breaking,
Last night, (YUP Last Night) I took it apart to try and figure out an alternative screen interface for it, and TODAY This exploit is announced, while mine is in about 10k pieces.....GREAT
It turns it into a Nintendo DS.
> the PSP programmers waste their time trying to hack the PSP.
Yeah, just think, instead of wasting all that time hacking they could be playing games...
1. Pull out the hard drive with WinXP (you should probably do this with the power off, but it's more fun with the power on)
2. Plug in a fresh new hard drive
3. Put in your Fedora install CDs and follow the prompts
4. Play homebrew linux apps on your hacked box (Profit!)
The best part is that if you ever need to use WinXP again, all you need to do is turn it off and swap the hard drives.
I realize this is merely a swap hack, but it's a start. Someday, I hope to be able to make it so I don't need to be pulling hard drives, but that could take til like 1995. We'll see
