Today, we learned that [Only registered users can see links. ] has just brought the battle to the [Only registered users can see links. ] Community by officially banning all homebrew-related talks on the said board. QJ.NET reader Miley_424 tipped us off on this development and explained that this did not surprise most members of the community.

What happened was a forum moderator (who represents [Only registered users can see links. ] as his/her username suggests) reiterated that homebrew applications void the warranty of PSPs. The moderator went on and provided the following topics that are not allowed to be discussed over at the PlayStation Board:
  • [Only registered users can see links. ]
  • Themes, applications, custom bootup animations/sounds, and other materials made available only with use of homebrew programs that may be used to aid or facilitate copyright violations (such as Eboots, ripping software, decryption software)
  • Debugging software
  • Programs designed to emulate firmware
  • TIFF applications
  • Programs designed to provide for modification of the PSP code or firmware, or that would allow for any exploitation of the PSP system firmware flashing software
  • Applications designed to bypass PSP system and game security features
  • Emulators, ROMs, CSO, ISOs, or any other unauthorized copies of copyrighted material
  • Software or hardware designed to aid or facilitate in cheating
We know you guys have a lot to say about this but it seems that the comment section of the said thread was disabled. However, you can freely speak your mind and discuss this through our own comment section below.

Well well well the Sony hammer is being brought down. You know I understand their stance, and it is their site and forum right? Well then they can decide what people can talk about. Something that potentially harms their sales is fair game. But, you know what, as a consumer and having a voice, I will use it. SCREW YOU SONY.

This thread was showing up as read for me, and i hadnt read it Hence not posted before now lol


Ya know, i have to say when i first went on their forums, i was surprised to see homebrew stuff mentioned, and tutorial threads - like really good tutorial threads.
But, to ban if after so long of it being there?
Thats shocking again lol
But, at the same time not. I did wonder how long it would take for em to ban it
