Homebrew PSP developer may have defeated v. 2.0


A video posted to a popular homebrew PlayStation Portable developers site appears to show the successful loading of a homemade game - reportedly a version of Tic-Tac-Toe - on a PSP model clearly loaded with the new version 2.0 of its system firmware.
The new firmware had specifically been designed by Sony to thwart anyone's attempts to load non-sanctioned games or applications, mostly to deter individuals from running or trading illicitly-obtained copies of games. While the game itself reportedly does not run yet (which could presumably still be considered a "hurdle" for anyone wishing to run his own games), the video does demonstrate what its anonymous author claims to be a key technique to getting a homebrew program image to load into PSP memory from a memory stick: It successfully passes itself off as a "version 2.1" upgrade to the version 2.0 firmware.
