Ah the nostalgic days of obsessing over wololo to see if my firmware was finally going to be supported.
IIRC for the PSP there came a day where you could run code straight from the external storage card without needing anything else. Which led to bootable ISOs.
I could be remembering things wrong as it has been over a decade.
I miss when most hardware was jailbreakable as easily as running a basic script. Nowadays it’s like you can maybe jailbreak your device if it’s running software version 3.04.05.6 EXACTLY and your device was manufactured inbetween the dates 2017-05-05 and 2017-05-07. It also needs to be a full moon and the third Tuesday of the month Otherwise, nope it’s completly locked down
I love stupid exploits like the patapon demo exploit where you use a specific save file as the payload entry point. That’s what I like the most about exploits. Or how for Nintendo consoles all the Smash games can be used to install cfw.
With patched firmware, yes. And there was a program to convert any PS1 iso into a PSP loadable game as well.
That was early firmware 1.50. Just put homebrew on MemoryStick Duo and run it on stock firmware. Before Dark_AleX and the beginning of the cat-and-mouse game…
I actually run a hidden WPA1 SSID at home just so I can connect my PSP Fat to the net, so this is directly relevant to my interests.
Of course I need to upgrade my CFW. Still on M33 5.0. Then again I’ve been needing to do that for a while.
I love my PSP Go, such an awesome emulation machine
Is the wololo the same one as in age of empires?
No, it means a murloc is behind you and it’s already too late
Fu…
