PSP Protection Password changelog

PSP homebrew developer Dark_Moon has released the latest version for PSP Protection Password. The app allows you to prohibit other people from using your PSP by locking the unit with a password on bootup.

Dark_Moon also recently released the source code for PSP Protection Password v0.3. The new version, v0.4b, adds a configuration file to the app. Here's the changelog from Dark_Moon:

• Added a configfile for skip or don't skip the initial effect.
• If you have a psp 3.40 OE - 3.52 m33 and you don't generated the password.txt and don't put it on the same folder of ppp, now there is a 'secret' password that is 1234 and with this you will can go to the xmb.
• If the password.txt is in the same folder of ppp this password won't be correct, will be correct your password generated.
• If you have 3.40OE - 3.52 M33 and you use the flashed version of it, replace the eboot.pbp located on flash0:/cfw/boot by this.

Dark_Moon has given a quick update to the PSP Protection Password homebrew application, now with increased security. For those who haven't encountered this application before, it allows you to limit access to your PSP with a password upon bootup - meaning, if the person holding your PSP doesn't know the password, they won't be able to use it.

Though there doesn't seem to be any other specific changelog for this release, the biggest thing to note here is that this update is, to quote Dark_Moon, "only for 3.40 OE and 3.5x M33 and only for PSP fat, no PSP SLIM!"

This is despite the previous version of PPP having PSP Slim support. Glad the homebrew developer is still updating the homebrew for the PSP Phat.

Further information, installation instructions, and details can be found in the download bundle and the forum release thread of Dark_Moon. Make sure you drop by our forums as well, just in case you need any help with the app.

Here's something for those concerned with keeping the contents of their PlayStation Portables private. Dark_Moon has released a new homebrew security application for the PSP.

The application is called PSP Protection Password. Just like the other similarly-functioning homebrew apps released beofre it, it basically adds a password that you can specify to your PSP's boot. It's pretty handy if there are a lot of people in your house who you want to keep from using your PSP.

To enable it, you need to use it in conjunction with the autoboot feature of any custom firmware. Please read the readme file includeed in the download for more information.
