Sonic the Hedgehog originals for psp

I don't really see what the point of homebrew is, of corse I've never used it and don't really know anything about it, so it could be AWESOME and I'm missing out big time, but I don't know, I think that next time a release comes out, unless it has something I NEED, I won't upgrade, than see what homebrew is all about, I might be a NOOB for saying this, but I think someone could eventually use the ability to play demos as a way to hack in homebrew. And also, does it really matter if it's legal? I mean, noone's watching on some big computer to see who still has the 1.5 version and running homebrew. It's like Limewire, sure it's wrong, but no1 really cares enough to do anything to the people who use it.

So scottie, who's to say the people don't have the games they're playing, if they did, than by what you're saying it wouldn't be illegal, they could have it for the N64 and and play it on the PSP.

not once did I say that emulators where being used illegally. If you read my posts I said that using emulators and homebrew was hacking your PSP, which it is and doesn't mean its illegal.

Limewire itself is not wrong, as it can be used to share files which aren't copyright. The problem with limewire is the high volume of content of files that are copyright being shared.

Pagnell I don't see where you got the opinion that I was saying emulators and homebrew were criminal. Quote me if necessary cause I've read my posts again and I thought I made it pretty clear I didn't think there was anything wrong with Homebrew.

Your misplacing hacking as a bad term for illegal activity, I was stating no matter what spin you put on homebrew being legal etc, you are still hacking your PSP. Hacking isn't bad, I own Football Manager for my Laptop yet I run a hack on it so I don't have to load the cd, its not illegal as I own the game, but its handy cause I don't want to have to bring the CD everywhere.

As I have all the emulators already on my laptop and don't play them often I have drawn a conclusion that it would be no different on PSP. I bought my PSP to play new games and listen to music on train jorneys.

As for me leading a boring life, thats your opinion, its not a very valid one since you barely know me and your basing this on me not playing emulators (which in my opinion is boring as I have already played these games before)

bypassing security ona PSP is hacking but were not hacking were using other peoples hacks to play free games why we do that you wouldnt understand becaus eyou must have money wich i most definatly dont (and beleve i try to get money i just have no ways) anyway heck yes a sonic game with updated graphics maybe a new story would be awsome

I can see both sides. Homebrew is probably awesome, but I wouldn't know because I tend to get extremely excited when I see that a new update came out, thus upgrading right away unknowingly that someone will make a downgrader for the version I JUST had.

On the other hand I still LOVE my PSP. Playing flash games online isn't too bad, and I still have my GameBoy COLOR...LOL to play Mario on.

you mightn't be creating the hack but you are still hacking it. Don't get me wrong as long as its not illegal (as far as I know its not, all you do is break your warranty) you can do with your psp as you wish.

Will mentioned that is was not hacking and I was pointing out that it is. As for the money thing, I can see why people would run homebrew cause they can't afford new games but I just read in the Games Master mag that there is a new handheld out and it runs Linux, which is Open source, and would be much more suited to running homebrew. (of course its only coming out now so thats not really a valid point but just wanted to mention it )

Well, even if it is illegal they can do with it what they wish, they just can't discuss it on here.

As for the new hand held you talk about that is the GP2X. This is easier to get homebrew on because it is specifically designed for it but I would argue against it being more suitable. For a start it's overall processing power is below the PSP and it has no decent graphics hardware. It also has no analogue stick and the screen isn't as good. Only Sony's stance against unsigned software makes it an arguably better choice. For people who own 1.5 PSPs I would say the Sony device is better.

I hadn't really looked into it much just read a short article about it and it didn't give much details, but from what you say the PSP is probably better for homebrew (even though it is more difficult to work with and dearer).

actually in the original concept of the word, hacking refers to someone who writes code for themselves at home. Hacking in its broadest sense covers everyone from little John Doe who tries to 'hack' his way into a banks computer system to little Joe Bloggs who writes himself a piece of C++ to catagorise his LP collection. Odd but true.
