Well, it's always been a dream for PSP hackers to somehow have full control over the firmware. It's been possible indirectly using Firmware Loaders like the ones made by MPH or SXT. But it's still emulation. And the available resources for actually trying hacks are pretty less since most of the memory is used up by the PSP's actual firmware.

Well, not any more. A guy called 0okm has been able to use an external 32MB Samsung NAND chip to boot firmware. Can't figure out what I'm saying ? Well, for starters, how about being able to boot your PSP using an external source ? Yep, it might just be possible. But, it comes at a big risk. So it's still one of those "Do not try this thing at home" situations for most of us.

Yep, this guys is showing that is possible to bot a different firmware from an outside source. Meaning that a modchip is not only viable but on its way. The problem is really the complexity to put this thing to work. Not so sure i'll let someone open my PSP all the way and do this...i believe you need to get someone with superb skillz.
