Not going to happen. The PSP's BIOS will simply not execute code off a memory stick, and more than the PS2 intentionally executes code off a memory card. Yes, I know about the exploit that can be used to run arbitrary code off a PS2 memory card. Considering that a MS is a more easily writiable than a PS2 MC (despite the fact that they're actually the same thing with different plugs on the end), and that Sony have already made that mistake once, I highly doubt they're going to do it again. It's not exactly difficult to prevent such things from happening anyway, assuming that you're aware of it. Sony probably are now.As soon as people figure out how to load things from the Sony memory sticks
The memory stick isn't exactly standard anyway, but aside from that, there is no reason for the PSP to run any old program off a memory stick. If Sony did allow that, you'd have someone able to run software on it inside a month, and copied games along with a loader that you can just dump on a memory stick within two months, and it will be able to completely bypass all of the security measures already in place. Consider how much effort Sony put into preventing people from running arbitrary code on the PS1 and PS2, and how they keep changing the design to try to stop modchips from being effective.both systems have the same possibility of having good homebrew communities, just the PSP has a standard (although pricey) storage device (memory stick) whereas the DS uses a proprietary storage format. its just gonna take a little bit longer for the DS to have homebrew developed for it.
That's not really significant, since Sony markets everything they sell as an 'All Purpose Entertainment Device.'Vchat20 wrote:and i should add that Sony is marketing the psp as an all purpose entertainment device whereas the DS is simply a gaming system. nothing more. so imo, they are not competing on a level playing field.
