Do these new hacks on the Go allow it to run at 333 Mhz for uber smoothness on games like Outrun and Wipeout?

Cheap PSP-3000 at GAME if anyone's in need of a new one.

Just grabbed the Metal Gear Pack today on sale at HMV, so 6.20 CFW is the latest version? I am wondering, does the latest hack require me to software flash it every time I restart my system for the PSP-3000? I recall having to do that with the last HEN-hack I tried a year or two ago. I really want to have a permanent solution like on the PSP-2000.

In case any of you don't follow the latest happenings in the ps3 fail0verflow thread, the PS3 has been completely busted open and it has given us some interesting things.
Look at what Mathieulh has posted on his twitter
We now have the holy grail. All models of the PSP are effectively broken wide-open. If you don't have a Go, I suggest you get one.

Man I wish I could jump on that. Sweet pink PSP for $124? I'd take it, especially considering I need to figure out something with my PSP-1000's UMD drive dead.
Do things like this ever come back in stock at the same price? (Or, if not, please anyone show me where I can get that pink PSP for that price.)
Pretty much. We have access to the same keys that Sony uses to sign the software that runs on the PSP. It has to work on all PSP models by necessity. Thus, homebrew developers can make their apps indistinguishable from Sony software in the eyes of the PSP's security. Every PSP in existence will be able to run homebrew without the need of exploits.spons said:

I'm considering doing just that to replace my imported US launch model. The screen is a blurry mess, the battery lasts 2 hours if it's lucky and the square button is on the verge of failure. As such, a Go with such homebrew potential is very appealing, being able to play UMDs ripped from my old machine on the Go (ideally without the need for CFW on the Go but I don't know the logistics of that) would seal the deal.
It's a fucking awful situation for Sony, but for homebrew development it's exciting times.
Oh wow. Way more exciting than the PS3 news for me.
Hope this turns into something absolutely amazing.
Particularly something that allows us to finally ditch the 5.00 and 5.50-based CFWs for something much more robust. And no, a 6.20-based HEN is basically a downgrade, in my eyes.

sounds like you can just decrypt and patch any game and make it bootable without cfw
if true, this is pretty huge for pirates...
but i dont think this will get homebrewers anywhere
the homebrew scene is pretty much dead on the psp, there's been no 'good' homebrew out as of lately, and apps which i use regularly on the psp no longer gets update (or rarely)
i dont see how this will change just because *more* psps can be hacked now, the psp scene is pretty much on its last legs already
the only thing i see is pspgo exclusive homebrew that takes advantage of bluetooth capabilities
I kind of feel ambivalent about this news. On one hand I will be able to play Square Enix games and the US/JP games I imported on my go, my 3000's laser will not break as easy, faster load times and the possibility of undubs. On the other hand this probably means a possible PSP2 will not have bc with my DD PSP games, which makes me sad.

Same here. My PSP is now my go-to choice for playing my PSX collection and it's got an exciting lineup for next year -- anything that could revitalize the scene and maybe get us the best of both worlds (post-5.00 OFW features with CFW homebrew/ISOs) is definitely exciting. Hell, maybe now we can actually get POPS Loader updated.

You don't think the ability to run homebrew on any PSP off the shelf will do anything to reignite the homebrew scene, compared to now when basically only people who have a four-year-old system can run it without it being a pain in the butt?

This is what I wanted to hear. I have a 2000, but I would really like to have all my UMDs on a Go!
My local Gamestop didn't have any though (used) so the hunt is on.

I don't think this will be just be limited to the Go.
But it's the flavour of the month... since it could do stuff that I can't do with my PSP-3000 right now (picked a new one up for MHP3rd), at least I could play emu's on this one in a pinch. But it's really enticing to pick one up.
With my huge backlog of UMD games and the awesome new releases this year (+ old ones that I've missed since MHP2G), I would really like to have them on my MS than lugging a handful of 'selected' UMDs when I'm away on a trip.
My old cfw'd PSPs needs to be retired anyway, for safekeeping.

They couldn't get the keys. The PSP wasn't really opened. To hack a PSP, you had to use exploits and get around Sony's security, but the system was still locked tight.
A fully open PSP wouldn't need a CFW because you'd be able to run anything right from the official firmware.
The only reason they got the PSP keys was because they were in the PS3 due to the MINI emulator.
KIRK, the PSP's encryption processor, was never hacked.
With the retrieval of these keys, the PSP is finally opened.

How do you update a 3.52 M33 CFW PSP to the latest official FW?
The person in question has tried updating using an official FW off a UMD game but it wont update.

This could get me to pick up a PSP Go and ditch my PSP-2000.

So, is there any indication of when we actually be able to do this stuff? Is it like months from now?
Just wondering if I want to buy a Go. I probably will end up doing it.

The Go screen is better. It has the same improved colour gamut of the 3000, but doesn't share the horrible interlacing issues. The pixel pitch also makes it appear higher res than it is. Also, see above!

Damn, I didn't know that it required a PS3 to use a Dual shock. :S
