How to properly and safely flash the PSP

In the age of progressive struggle against piracy, the issues of protecting mobile consoles stand in the brink. Many manufacturers want to protect their products from illegal copying and use. Sony is suffering losses because it's enough to just take and flash the PSP so that all (even the most protected) games can be started without paying a single penny.

Such opportunities are used by pirates and users. There are specialized exchangers, where members of the community share game files, emulators with each other, so that you can run classics of the genre from other consoles, as well as directly with firmware. Surprisingly, no matter how developers complicate the code, trying to close the vulnerability, it is even possible to flash the PSP 3008, which, according to the manufacturer, should have been as stable as possible to illegal use. The only thing that users can not yet do is to bypass the protection of the latest version of the software installed on the console. But, judging from past experience, it is only a matter of time.

In the past, it was enough to flash the PSP once, and you could use it for as long as you like. This ensured the profit and existence of many semi-base services, where such an operation was made for several thousand rubles. Now the situation has changed dramatically, since the new methods of protection installed on the console have completely changed the classical approaches to its hacking. Now it's impossible to establish a permanent hacking.

Despite this, it is still possible to flash the PSP, only the hacked software will not be installed permanently, but stored in the device's memory. This imposes certain restrictions, for example, you can not give the console a full discharge, or pull out the battery, as this will immediately lead to the rally of the pirated program and the restoration of the licensed platform. But if you use neatly, not allowing a discharge or accidental shutdown, then such a hacking will be just as good as any other.

Since it is now easier to flash the PSP on its own, now you do not need to go anywhere and pay money to unknown services, and this is an undoubted plus, because everything can be done in a few simple steps:

• It is necessary to make a backup of all the necessary files, settings and save from the memory card. Then it is necessary to make its formatting by going to "Settings", then "System Settings", selecting "Formatting the memory card", agree with the warning that appeared.
• Perform a complete de-energizing of the console. To do this, pull out and insert the battery back. Then, start by holding down the Select, Start, Square and Triangle buttons. This allows you to reset all settings, avoiding possible problems in the future.
• Then you need to download the firmware file from any site and install it in the root of the memory card, the GAME folder. The resulting file remains just run like any game.

So here it is easy to flash the PSP and enjoy the work of all applications without having to pay.
