Posted: NiceFun.net Post Subject: PSP Firmware code hints at upcoming games download service
The offical Sony PSP firmware 3.50 and 3.51 have hints at an upcoming new feature for PSP. Hidden within np9660.prx, coders have found that this will allow Sony to load official PSP games from Memory Stick.
This gives the handheld the ability to load encrypted ISO images off a memory stick, not just the demos and PS1 games the handheld’s currently capable of playing. Although there will undoubtedly be plans for hackers to take advantage of this code, it’s great to see Sony finally step closer to the promised PSP Store that we’ve been waiting for years. Upcoming firmware will most likely support downloadable PSP games. _________________
