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.

    Yeah, let’s make sure all exploits are patched before the device inevitably becomes obsolete in a couple of years, so we can throw it away and buy the next version instead of not being wasteful.

        It is bizarre that Sony have a whole game streaming platform, and their game streaming device that does literally nothing else won’t connect to it.

      Hit the nail on the head. People who report jailbreaks are the same ones who reported their neighbors in soviet eastern germany.

        That‘s a terrible comparison. The incentives and stakes are on very different levels.

          So what? Both are traitors to their fellow humans. Obviously, the outcome is different but I dont see why youre making a fuss about it.
