What happened to the PSP

Post by DarkLuke14 »

sorry, i haven't been on gametoast in a few months, but wasn't there a star wars battlefront 2 psp modding forum, it had excellent exploits the community would like to know. it was about a year ago. didnt it have a model and map mod? i was wondering if you could please reinstall that forum and just maybe bring back those topics or reenter them.

The forums/threads were removed since even posting about how to legitimately mod your PSP software would essentially also be a tool for learning how to pirate PSP software. Gametoast will not have any tutorials on how to mod for PSP.

It opened a sort of Pandora's box. He posted how to mod your PSP (like Mav said), which is a taboo thing. It basically opens the doors to piracy. You can still have an honest guy/gal who owns a modded PSP, but you'll still get a lot of pirates.

I thought for awhile about him just hosting the files and very simple install instructions on how to inject them back into the game with no mention of how to mod the system. We do this over at marvelmods.com for Xbox/PSP/PS2 mods. But even then you get flooded with "How do I mod my system" questions.

It's just a tough gray area that the staff really hasn't looked much into, so we err on the side of caution. Technically if you mod your system and still own the original discs then you're legal, as that's no different than putting a bigger motor in a lawnmower (or something similar). The issue comes in the fact that now the system can run backups, which means easy piracy, and that's just not something we can easily police.

It's a shame too. It was a cool mod.
