Following the illegitimate release of PSP games being circulated across the Internet as ISO files, an anonymous group of hackers have released an ISO loader for PSP that can potentially run these files from the memory stick. Anyone with a PSP currently installed with firmware versions 1.0 or 1.5 can use this program if they manage to locate the hard-to-find illegal application.

If hackers continue to release these ISO files, it’s certainly going to have a detrimental effect on software sales, since several users will most likely download the games from the Internet rather than pay for the legitimate retail copy. No wonder Sony have been urging users to upgrade their firmware to prevent them from running unauthorised applications.
