PSP Summer Homebrew Coding Contest

quickjump writes "PSP Updates and Lik-Sang yesterday kicked off their second PSP coding contest, the Summer Homebrew Competition. Programmers now have 45 days to submit a new program, to be screened by people such as Fanjita and others, and then put up for a popular vote to determine the 3 winners with over $500 in PSP prizes, including a 4GB Datel drive, Blaze TV adapter, faceplates, battery packs, cases, a 1GB memory stick and more!"

2.7 firmware?

[tepples]

How can one run these homebrews if all new PSP units have firmware 2.7? In fact, how can anyone run homebrew on a 2.01 or later PSP in regions where Grand Theft Auto has not been released (such as if it has been refused classification)?

Oh, so you mean like how EVERY company in tech makes up a "contest" with low-valued prizes to get work done that would otherwise cost a lot of money and time and possibly outisde contractors... *COUGH*Slashdot Page Design*COUGH*

It is because techies value this stupid idea of some great prestige over their time. And we never fail to disappoint. We will produce content worth tens of thousands of dollars for a _chance_ at a $500 iPod.

For such "smart" folks, we sure are gullible bastards.
