Programmers got PSP games running on the PlayStation Portal, then “responsibly reported” the exploit so it could be patched (www.techradar.com)

The latest PlayStation Portal update has supposedly addressed an exploit that allowed PlayStation Portable (PSP) games to be emulated natively on the streaming handheld.

This is according to a recent X / Twitter post by Andy Nguyen that was first spotted by VGC. An employee at Google, Nguyen previously claimedthat they were part of a small team that was able to get PSP games running offline on the PlayStation 5 peripheral via some hacking and the open-source emulator PPSSPP.

Now, however, Nguyen says that the exploit they used to get the software installed and running has been patched after they “responsibly reported the issues to PlayStation.” This alleged change comes as part of the latest PS Portal software update, version 2.0.6.

I'm really confused by the guy's responses to people. Like he seems to think that it's somehow not possible to tell people before letting Sony know directly first or something? He then tells people that it's fine they just need to avoid updating their firmware, before discovering that it's impossible to avoid that when you first boot the device from factory...

"It's only a few weeks of difference!" he says when he of all people should know that's an age in the modding scene.
