Not even the new PSP hardware is safe from crafty hackers

Whether Sony likes it or not, a big draw of its PlayStation Portable is its versatility after flashing the handheld with custom firmware. Although there is no denying the advantages of the newly redesigned slimmer and lighter PSP, many console modders feared that the new hardware could put an end to the days of freewheeling homebrew software.

The new PSP-2000 slim model, which became available in North America earlier this week, shipped with a firmware version that included new options to take advantage of the new hardware. Before this firmware was even made available for online updating, a couple of persistent crackers – perhaps including the notorious Dark_AleX – managed to create a dump of the system software.

The modders are refusing to share the files and the method on how they were accessed. A screenshot of the dumped files is hosted on Maxconsole.

Examination of the firmware also reveals that the new PSP-2000 includes 66MB of NAND flash memory. Although it was widely known that the new hardware features double the RAM of the old unit, the added memory and the ability to access it could mean even more elaborate hacks and homebrew software for the PSP.
