Sony Fixed Exploit That Let PlayStation Portal Run Emulated PSP Games After Hackers 'Responsibly Reported Issues to PlayStation

[Gamernyc78]

One of the Google engineers who hacked the PlayStation Portal to run emulated PSP games has said Sony has now fixed the exploit after his team "responsibly reported the issues to PlayStation."

In February, Andy Nguyen, who works at Google on cloud vulnerability research, and Calle Svensson, a security engineer at Google, took to social media to show a PlayStation Portal running PSP game Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories natively.

Sony released the PlayStation Portal as a handheld game streaming device that wirelessly connects to the PlayStation 5. Officially, it is not possible to play games natively on the PlayStation Portal. But Nguyen and co hacked the PlayStation Portal to run the PPSSPP emulator, which meant no Wi-Fi streaming was required.

At the time, Nguyen said the hack was “all software based”, which meant hardware exploitation was not required — but the team had no plans to release the hack.

Now, Nguyen has tweeted to say the bugs were fixed with the recently released 2.06 update after “we responsibly reported the issues to PlayStation.

Of course they care more about this than patching in useful features into this fisher price gadget.
