PSP firmware 5.50 can't be cracked for the moment


We can't say we agree with Sony's countless efforts to thwart piracy via PSP firmware updates; in fact, the whole thing seems like kind of a waste of energy. But today, let's just take a moment to celebrate its struggle, for Sony has, with firmware 5.50, won! Sceners.org says the update "has the encryption tables changed (at least the 1g one), as it can't be decrypted with latest psardumper."

Sure, in the next sentence the site goes on to say that it likely won't be an issue. But for today Sony, you can stop pushing the boulder up that hill and take a well-earned break. Congrats.
