Evangelion: Jo - The first anti Custom Firmware game?
PSPGen have posted that a new Japanese game, called Evangelion: Jo scans your RAM and detects if you have any type of custom firmware or not. If it detects you have custom firmware. The game will freeze displaying the screen above with some lovely classical musicplayed in the background. It also doesn’t seem that you could bypass this check, since its scanning the RAM….
So Sony have taken things a step further with Anti Custom Firmware games.

June 25, 2009 at 10:40 am

June 25, 2009 at 11:01 am
good one Sony. Keep it up

Anyone to confirm this?

Out of all the psp games I downloaded, I found only the ported games to be fun. Why? Cause they are classics! I will post again if I ever come across one interesting PSP game.
Who cares how secure you make the new ones?!
Go back to focusing on ps1/ps2 games if you want to truly succeed.
June 25, 2009 at 12:20 pm
go on Sony !!! I LOVE YA!!!
June 25, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Then Go On Kiss Sony Hug And Have S** With Sony Ya Fool!!
June 26, 2009 at 1:14 pm
we all are love sony,but umd are expensive,we can pay too much money for just a game,sony need to know there are many many people love sony but not all of them are rich
,that’s why we made cfw:(
June 26, 2009 at 1:21 pm
uh oh, i mean:we ” can’t ” pay too much moneys
(i’m not good in english:D)
June 25, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Remember people, without Sony there would have been no PSP. So you should love Sony not hate Sony. my PSP nickname > $uk fony
June 25, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Sony is just doing there job to insure they can beat the pirate cfw Would you be doing the same thing if you had a business and someone else was exploiting it? > i have cfw 5.00 m33-6
June 25, 2009 at 6:06 pm
shit the f**** up cause sony buys the game for like 10 5 even 1 dollar and they sell it to us for 30$ or above and thats bullshit
June 25, 2009 at 6:56 pm
The developers take years to make the game, Sony licenses the game, developers pay Sony to publish the game. You download the game, Sony loses publishing money, Developers waste their time making it.
Hey I’ll give you a dollar if you paint skyscraper.
June 25, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Oh no. This is bad. I just want sony to allow psp to be hacked. But not the psp go. Otherwise sony will go down, and there will be no more psp.
June 25, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Damn this is bad…..
at least homebrew can run…..
Or maybe cracked versions of the game can release without the scanning option…..
BTW what is written in japanese on that screen?
June 25, 2009 at 3:10 pm
i think this is just to test the response from the scene…..
They might put this into GTA-CTW….. a major release…..
June 25, 2009 at 3:25 pm
I hope Sony (my friend) implement this feature on CTW and future releases! go Sony Go, PSP GO!
June 25, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Well with ChickenHEN…..just cut the psp off and its gone along with the custom firmware which is in the flash0 so is this really a big problem for ChickenHen-ners
June 25, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Yeah… if you have the original umd its fine for chickHEN
June 25, 2009 at 3:49 pm
God above..man below..Sony is the name i know..
June 25, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Tsk tsk… For sure hackers will find a way for this new idea of SOny.. hahaha… it could take sometime.. As what others are saying, there is no problem without a solution… Hehehe,, Perhaps they may be able to find a Cfw that cannot be detected by this game or perhaps, THESE GAMES
June 25, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Is it right to credit this to Sony?
Shouldn’t the third party company that made this game get credit for it?
Or is Sony the company that made this game?
June 25, 2009 at 4:35 pm
no…sony didn’t develop this….
its a developer from japan…
but other production houses might adopt this….
June 25, 2009 at 7:38 pm
It’s Namco Bandai Games.
If you guys remember, there’s a Japanese game – Idol Master SP,
similar things happen.
And it’s the same publisher.
So we can expect the same senario from Soul Calibur and Tekken 6.
(Preparing my monnie for the 2 games.)
June 25, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Good points
June 25, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Hopfully..one day, a day before CTW comes out! (only joking)
June 25, 2009 at 4:54 pm
lol, we exploit sony and now they exploit us, but i know that alot of people with cfw still buy good games and that they wont put this into major titles comming out this year like assassins creed, grand tourismo, metal gear solid, soul calibur and all the other good titles this year, i dont think sony would risk losing half the psp community
June 25, 2009 at 5:00 pm
This sucks for us, but its finally good to see sony isnt the dumbasses that people take them for. But this realy sucks if no workaround wil be found. Cant you make an app that starts the game in its own part of the ram and blocks it off from the rest of the ram, albiet plugins would probably not work with the game, but we would still be able to play it.
June 25, 2009 at 5:03 pm
I am happily waiting for the death of CFW.Go on Sony !!!! Kill these fcking ill guys
June 25, 2009 at 7:34 pm
I’m waiting for the day to come too.
June 25, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Why come here?
June 25, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Did you know Sony love cfw too! infact in future psp updates most cfw features will be avalaible on ofw, basicaly cfw is just fast forwarding the prosses.
June 25, 2009 at 6:08 pm
this is proboly a test fort they can out on the psp go so nothnig to wrry about i think
June 25, 2009 at 7:17 pm
The answer here is not the develop of new cfw undetectable to the scan.
But a tool to block or remove the scan process from those games.
June 25, 2009 at 7:31 pm
if this is the case i will keep my CHICKHEN R2
ahah
June 25, 2009 at 7:44 pm
It’s not like this will increase sales. No one’s going to say “uh oh, I’d better reinstall OFW so I can play this game.” There are, however, people running CFW who actually buy games once in a while…
June 25, 2009 at 9:02 pm
Haha xD
Sony really doesn’t like the hacking part of the PSP xD
June 25, 2009 at 9:04 pm
I tried running chickHEN once but it kept on crashing, so i had to hard mod mine, it was the easiest option without getting stressed out.
June 25, 2009 at 9:36 pm
This is interesting.. Never thought they would make a move like this.
June 25, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Shit…I hope This dosent come out on all the cool games releasing this year..:( !
June 26, 2009 at 10:47 am
Yeah Like GTA Tekken 6 And The New Soulcalibur…
June 25, 2009 at 10:02 pm
see this would be totally fine for games you download… but if they put it in umds thats total bullshit because if you have a umd of the game then you did pay for it and they should be happy with that regardless of your firmware
June 25, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Or maybe you cold just rip that part off the UMD when you convert to an ISO/CSO…maybe…
June 25, 2009 at 11:18 pm
awwww ****!!!! so many great games coming out…i guess where going have to do what PSPEBOOTHOOT
suggested wich would be even worse for sony….sony planed this
June 25, 2009 at 11:30 pm
wait!!!!!! what cfw was he using????
June 26, 2009 at 12:20 am
Oh I get it, the people defending Sony are either affiliated with it or just fanboys.
Of course there wouldn’t be a psp without Sony -THAT is what I give them credit for.

——————————————————————————-
Funny you should mention that, provided you ran the exploit and use CFW. So don’t say you are Sony’s friend when you do the opposite.

ill miss him…
June 26, 2009 at 10:48 am
Cool…
June 26, 2009 at 2:06 am
I am sadder about the possible implementation of anti-CFW technology in future software. Michael was big in the 80s, I grew up on him and it is sad when anyone dies… but that is all… the PSP is still alive and that is what matters right now!
June 26, 2009 at 2:32 am
do you know that ofw is potentially better than cfw ?
June 26, 2009 at 4:15 am
hahahaha…
June 26, 2009 at 4:16 am
Tell me that when I can run emulators on OFW…. and, of course… ISOs. You must have a PSP 3000 on 5.51.
June 28, 2009 at 4:11 am
hahhahahahaha really then why are so may people getting cfw theres no way ill even think about putting cfw unless they give us as many features addons and plugins as cfw does
you are on the wrong website PSP-2010
June 26, 2009 at 2:50 am
trust me give this a week and da/dj/me/someone will find out a way to bypass trust me sony never wins wahahahahahaha

So all we have to do is not buy this game and it’s safe to hack your PSP? Or is this like an auto-update?
June 26, 2009 at 4:34 am
hopefully all these titles will have anti cfw on them, because otherwise ill be very jealous of you
June 26, 2009 at 5:11 am
dont be jelous
June 26, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Y are you jealous? is it because your psp isnt hacked yet? If I were you, dont pray for those games that are to be released to have this anti-cfw because u will not be able to play the new games if ever ur psp will be hacked. I know for sure the ofw 5.51 will be hacked soon, just wait for ur turn guys just like what the other psp owners did when the 5.03 m33 are not yet released. REmember wait for ur turn and DO NOT UPDATE TO NEWER OFW VERSIONS.
June 26, 2009 at 11:14 pm
i have 5.03 gne-a fyi…
June 26, 2009 at 11:52 pm
can you hack firmwire 5.50 yet
June 26, 2009 at 6:12 am
if it only reads in the ram does that mean that if we have full cfw in the psp than it will work…….someone need to crack sony’s signature…..if thats done they are gonners. hopefully its possible to decrypt the files used to make this RAM-test and if possible remove it from the game…..not that i am saying i support piracy, just that i will become a pirate if this happens cause i have a psp with cfw and i buy games so i should be able to play them regardless of what type of firmware i have…….how come nintendo never works so hard to keep their ds unhackable and on the other hand sony reacts to every change we do…….
June 26, 2009 at 10:10 am
They are a company trying to product there product and make money…
It’s all about the money
Seems logical to me o_O
June 26, 2009 at 11:51 pm
because not that many people hack nintendo stuff only the wii
June 26, 2009 at 11:07 am
This is defiitely a tester to see how the psp scene will react….
If the scene developers are working on a crack…. don’t release it yet….
wait n see if they implement it in major games….
June 26, 2009 at 12:43 pm
DAMN!!! now we have 3 big problem,MJ dead, cfw anti,and no more sony if we still use cfw,
(, but i stil hope new cfw will release
,may UMD have to cut price or face with cfw !!!! hope they have a right choice
June 26, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Well good thing the users found out.
June 26, 2009 at 5:26 pm
No. Im on 5.00 M33-6 but this is bad! i want Sony to stop my demons from commiting foul act like this, its too tempting to cfw your ofw psp you see..thats my point, hopfully Sony put an end to this plague.
June 26, 2009 at 9:17 pm
yeah…even if you do buy the umd…..then u gotta install official cfw…..
they’re digging their own pit…..
they’ll check sales after releasing evangelion jo, to see if people buy it inspite…. cos there isn’t a person who knows about cfw and doesn’t hav it…
June 26, 2009 at 11:11 pm
No matter how many anti-CFW games come out in the future I would rather keep my PSP on CFW. There are more than 600+ games out there (not including games playable on emulators) that I can potentially play with CFW, why upgrade to play a few protected games…
June 27, 2009 at 12:49 am
There is no need to upgrade, just use devhook to emulate a higher firmware like 5.51. Of course it will need to be updated someday.
June 27, 2009 at 2:34 am
wow that sux… at least we can just go download an iso though lol
