Is it worth downloading a 14 MB video file to watch some guy infect a PSP with a virus?

Well I couldn't play it due to not having the right codecs installed on my linux distro on my laptop here at school, but it was nice to see it rocket in at 2.2 MB/s

Eh, I guess. I'd like to know what that message said that flashed on the screen.

Did you get OS X working on your laptop?

 

[mwtgg]

Why bother?

 

[KillyKillall]

Don't know..I'm finding out

Yeah, I was expecting a frame grab of that and was disappointed.

I believe someone released a scanner specifically for this trojan, so you can scan files before moving them to your PSP.

actually I ended up getting home later than expected last night, so I am working on it right now!

 

[MAME]

no way to fix that eh?

 

[BlueWeasel]

That was a well-done, informative video.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Haha, nice video! :beer:

 

[SilentZero]

Cool vid.

I downgraded my PSP from 2.0 to 1.5 fine. It just depends on WHERE you get the downgrader from...

"Reportedly" Sony modified the original downgrader so it is now the 'bricker' to get people to not downgrade...I wouldn't put it past Sony!

The screenshot they have on the website is the shot of the "text" before the crash. Looked like jibberish to me.

Can anyone read the message that flashes just before the thing bricks??
Looks like:
PSP T??? 2.0 Exploit ???? the 1.0 firmware
Thanks to te????? for the 1.0 exploit : )
