Well-known game crack website PSPGEN.com reviewed five years history of PSP version cracking in home on January 24 this year, and pointed out the real reason about difficult to crack 6.20. At the end of full article “It is possible so just be patient” reignited people’s hope for PSP 6.20 firmware cracked.

Everything seems very obvious, SONY has never been appreciated and accepted any inventions in cracking world. On the contrary, Sony continued to fight against crack, eradicating crack force to ensure itself has technology leading. It is really an indisputable fact.

The virtual war between PSP crack forces and Sony has last 5 years and continued to today. Sony seems to change some strategies and gradually achieved victory in the war from a few months ago.

In the beginning, the main battlefield between sony engineers and hackers like the cat and mouse is official firmware release.Sony patches PSP vulnerabilities always by the new official firmware update and prevent the use of crack hackers. That is also avoiding the user’s PSP firmware switch to the homemade. It is also the reason why PSP has so many system firmware versions.

But this method can be said to be unsuccessful, especially with the appearance of the magical battery. PSP-1000 series and PSP-2000 with non-V3 motherboard have been free to use self-made firmware. Sony begun to change hardware structure of PSP from PSP-2000V3 to overcome this magic crack tools, from the new motherboard used in PSP-3000, it has been completely resistant to magic batteries and prevent the firmware load on the PSP.

Sony strategy was quite effective but underestimeted the ability of crack hackers. Cracking tool HEN from Davee turned out, homemade firmware with 5.03GEN for HEN running stable on PSP-3000 (Actually, there is 5.02HEN developed by Miriam but never announced).

We would like to thank team GEN groups and developer GENyUS for these works, they opened the crack door for PSP 3000 players.Unfortunately, PSP 3000 vulnerability only existed in the version of lower than 5.03 firmware, and only 5.03 firmware able to use stabilize currently.
The game developers have begun to launch an attack to the crack world in recent months, they began to use various means to stop the game run in the homemade firmware. These methods have blocked piratic also accidentally killed a lot of honset UMD player cost their money buy from game store at the same time. In fact, some hackers have been trying to make some patches or looking for some non-encrypted version such as Tekken 6, and spread ISO into the network, this is really illegal. Some players have to download the game which has patched and have to play one fake game that they have bought genuine.

With the return of team GEN member Yoshihiro, the new homemade firmware released, especially the arrival of 5.50GEN-D3 and 5.03GEN-C, these problem are swept away. We are also aware of that Yoshihiro brings a whole new life for homemade system 5.50GEN GENyU developed.

Therefore, Sony has started a new round of challenges and use another way which is more cautious and more effetive. We did not specially discuss this issue before, but now it is the time to explain everything.

Initially, Sony likely to add the secret security eavesdropping program (or interpolate spy in the crack world) to system firmware, and the most od crack vulnerabilities (including release and unrelease) have been repaired. We are doubting this movements for Sony can do successful large scale clean up work after 6.0 system firmware and beyond the other system, almost all of the vulnerabilities have not been spared. We are even more surprising is that some not yet published vulnerabilities existed from system firmware 2.0 also be completely blocked. This time ,Sony has not urgent to seeking doctor, their work indeed very efforts and very successful.

This news is true. You can still likely to bring down verison to 5.03 and let HEN program running if you can find a loophole. This possibility will always exist unless Sony replacing the new motherboard and refusing PSP which system version lower than 6.20 in the future. The method somewhat like the original 1.50 crack case. Therefore, the current PSP 3000 and PSP 2000 v3 players should be looking forward to emergence a system loophole can be demoted.

Why we never released homemade firmware 6.xxGEN? Because there is no need to upgrade from 5.50GEN-D to 6.xxGEN. It takes a long time to develop a fully functional homemade firmware. If we released homemade firmware 6.20GEN, we will do a lot of structural adjustment for players in order to ensure the stability of system is being upgrated. This wore is very arduous.  In fact , as we said in the news before, we are more inclined to let everything go with the flow, rather than the majority developers re-develop their own procedures for new firmware.

Please keep in mind: ” It is possible so just be patient ”
