ISO Loader Discovered In New Sony PSP Firmware

by Drake Hess on July 2, 2007 at 4:41 pm

Will this discovery change the world as we know it? Probably not, but it may prove to be pretty cool for PSP owners seeking immediate gratification. PSP fan site devsgen.com is reporting that user “Dark_Alex” has discovered the an ISO loader inside the Playstation Portable’s new 3.50+ firmware.

The exact file is called “np9660.prx”, and that means nothing to you well then you are in good company. What is this all about? Well, the speculation is pointing to a future of “gaming on demand” with the PSP. Can that be confirmed at the moment? Nope.

    For those of you that are unfamiliar with the psp, users with modified psp and homebrew programs can make copies of games in .iso files and play them from their memory stick. The iso loader build into firmware could be for a few possible things, with the failing UMD discs and the rumored 8gb or 4gb built in flash memory psp on its way it is possible that sony may be trying to get rid of the umd format and move towards an online rental/ purchasing service similar to itunes but for games. (Wow thats the best idea i ever thought of in the past 2 mins)
