“While homebrew programmers are bitter about the patch it has been universally accepted that the PSP had hit a stage where malicious hackers would begin to play with the idea of destroying them for no reason. Further, unlike a PC, the PSP has no ability to reinstall the Firmware; so once it’s been destroyed it stays that way. While there are groups working on a “hardware flash” that would allow a PSP be formatted much like a PC’s hard drive, there seems to be little hope in the future.”
