Boot Protector changelog

2.71 SE firmware users can now safeguard their PSPs against prying eyes with the latest version of azy_xbox123's Boot Protector coming out today to fix a few bugs that allow 2.71 SE-B users to use the program and exit properly, as well as adding in new security features to keep your PSPs contents even more safe! azy_xbox123's Boot Protector was first released yesterday and enabled users to password protect their PSPs at startup, and now that he has added extra precaution's to this release, azy recommends that you upgrade to 2.71 SE to get the most out of this application.

We know you're dying to know what azy_xbox123 has put together for this release, so here's the changelog:

• USB disabled by high demand and higher security!
• At the moment azy_xbox123 is unable to encrypt the files but instead he has hidden the password file and obscured the file type!
• Slight GFX Update
• Various bugfixes including the proper exiting on 2.71SE

Expect more updates from Boot Protector, as azy is looking for more options to enable better encryption of the Lua files to prevent password theft. Until then, you can find the download below but make sure you remember that the default password coded in is 34903, and the default password written in the hidden file is 55555. Good luck securing your PSP!

Need to keep your parents away from your PSP? Want your pesky sibling to stop hogging your Sony handheld? Hoping that your roommate won't find out about those photos that you took while he was asleep which are now stored in your PSP? Then lock it down with a password, and unless your parents or your sibling happens to be a LUA coder, then your secrets should be safe enough. A small and useful LUA application made by azy_xbox123, the fact that you will be asked for a five-digit password upon start-up should deter any nosy person who may want to start snooping on what you've been up to with your PSP.

In the meantime, azy_xbox123 includes the following notes about his creation:

D-PAD = Navigate/Change Password Number
SELECT = Screenshot

To install:

1.50 w/ Harleyg's Custom Firmware: ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/DEVBOOT.PBP
ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/Applications/
ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/System/
5x ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/*.prx

This is activated by leaving you WLAN switch down, this hasn't been tested!

2.71SE: ms0:/PSP/GAME/BOOT/EBOOT.PBP
ms0:/PSP/GAME/BOOT/Applications/
ms0:/PSP/GAME/BOOT/System/
5x ms0:/PSP/GAME/*.prx

This is activated via the configuration menu, although I have gotten this to work on 2.71SE, it crashes when exiting to XMB once the correct password is input!

Although this gets the job done, it doesn't disable the use of the HOME button. I am waiting on a custom build to be built.

So, as we said, unless your parents, little brother or roommate are all developers themselves, this app should do a pretty good job of keeping them out of your hair. Otherwise, we advice that you start hiding the USB cables in your house, but be warned that this doesn't prevent other members of the household from hiding the PSP unit itself.
