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.
The Portal is such a weird device. I really don’t understand why anyone would want one, but it’s not like I’m the arbiter of what’s useful and what’s not
I’d be interested if it was cheaper or could double as a PSP/Vita.
Not anymore it can’t
PS Vita was superb
It would have been without the proprietary memory card that never went cheap. I still need to mod my PSTV to make it usable.
Was there any? I don’t remember I remember only memory cards for games, but I already had everything on the psn account and PS+
The memory sticks for downloading games. I think the biggest was a 64 GB one that was like $200. But this was well after micro SD cards became super cheap and games were bigger than they were on the PSP.
Damn, I really can’t remember any 🥲
I really thought that they are just gonna sell non of them. Apparently there is a market.
