Acid_Snake and the ARK Development team have released a significant update to the ARK custom Firmware for the Sony PSP. Custom Firmware now allows the Playstation Portable to connect to WPA2 encrypted Wifi networks....
Ah the nostalgic days of obsessing over wololo to see if my firmware was finally going to be supported.
IIRC for the PSP there came a day where you could run code straight from the external storage card without needing anything else. Which led to bootable game ISOs from the vanilla UI.
I could be remembering things wrong as it has been over a decade.
That was early firmware 1.50. Just put homebrew on MemoryStick Duo and run it on stock firmware. Before Dark_AleX and the beginning of the cat-and-mouse game…
I miss when most hardware was jailbreakable as easily as running a basic script. Nowadays it’s like you can maybe jailbreak your device if it’s running software version 3.04.05.6 EXACTLY and your device was manufactured inbetween the dates 2017-05-05 and 2017-05-07. It also needs to be a full moon and the third Tuesday of the month Otherwise, nope it’s completly locked down
I love stupid exploits like the patapon demo exploit where you use a specific save file as the payload entry point. That’s what I like the most about exploits. Or how for Nintendo consoles all the Smash games can be used to install cfw.

With patched firmware, yes. And there was a program to convert any PS1 iso into a PSP loadable game as well.
