Did you buy it? Do you own it? Why are you letting someone else control what you do with it?
>>
no you will go to hell for it and boil in Ken Kutaragi'

>>54930184

Why is the default unethical? You phrase it as if its self event therefore those who believe it to be ethical are already on the defense without any actual argument to counter.

Don't ask a question that you don't define first. Poor form. Poor form.
>>
Sure is, its your psp after all.
>>
>>54930445

Wait. I may or may not retract this critique. But only if you were asking the question from the context of Thomistic Virtue. Using the question in the negative. Assuming that the moralirty object (act of unlocking the psp) itself itself is in question while i believing the intent was moraly neutral. As the circumstances is irrelevant to the morality and only meaningful to culpability we can leave that out of the discussion.

So which is it?

See. That's why you are pathetic. You're wasting away the last device Sony will ever built with free multiplayer online, just so you can hold up some non-existing hope for it to be hacked.

You're so pathetic you don't even deserve any online multiplayer features. Absolutely pathetic.

I'm not an online gamer. I've had consoles capable of online play for nearly a decade and can count the number of hours I've spent online on all of them on one hand.

Yup, lot's of games like that.

And you will keep begging for ports of its games even long after your old 3ds is dead and buried.
That's how pathetic you are.

It's your hardware. Are you putting anyone else at risk by doing what you want to do with it? No? Then there is no ethical issue.

He is hurting PSP-chan.

No, he is letting PSP-chan out of her cage. It may be a shock to her, but ultimately a good thing.

No, it's NTR hentai mindbreaking thing to do to her when you rewrite her firmware and inject unauthorised code into her.

They made it fucking hard for no reason
>>
>>54934164
They had very good reason, if they hadn't done everything they could to lock the shit out of it the Vita would have even less developer support than it does in its current state.
>>
>>54934220
Out of curiosity. Is there any way to run homebrew on it? Such as emulators.

The other way around.

The Vita has low technical spec by today's standards, but has a ton how awesome games with physical buttons and dual thumbstick controls which you can't experience on any android or nintendo devices.

Did you know Playstation devices run on BSD? BUT YOU CAN'T UNLOCK IT EVEN IF YOU OWN THE DEVICE

Mandatory:

I am going to redpill you about the GPL before the paid trolls.

Some cucks (among many we have) are trying to promote BSD, MIT, Apache and other licenses because they are hired by corporations that can make privative software thanks to those licenses by putting some closed source on top and fuck everyone else.

For example, Darwin is a kernel in which Apple collaborates with the "open source" community. Because it is a BSD derivative, Apple uses that and put it some closed source bits and call it OS X.

Sure, you can use Darwin, but is crippleware, is of much lesser quality. And Apple is not even full fascist here, they at least have some degree of cooperation. Microsoft on the other hand in the 90's spread memos about how to fuck up Linux and the free as in freedom community. Is called "embrace, extend, extinguish". See for yourself:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend_and_extinguish
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_documents

If you were in charge of Microsoft, and you had no ethics, what would you do knowing that you could harm the free software community just by reusing "open source" software in your favor, put some bells and whistles, and extinguishing the original product?

I beg you consider the GPL and LGPL over everything else. One can't possibly know what is being used under the hood of many privative software, and you never know when something "open sourced" sometime ago is now part of closed source software.

Even the LGPL, because you can have a fully functional application in LGPL which someone can cut off the interface, put a privative interface to it and deprecate any other interface by changing the API (systemd?).

>inb4 "Put a shitty license to your code so we can make more profits than you using your software. Maybe someday, if we are on the mood, you will work for us".

Yeah, fuck you.

>Did you know Playstation devices run on BSD?
I'm 99.99% positive This didn't happen till after the PS3 and Vita. Regardless, quit shitting up the thread with your irrelevant GPL bullshit

I mean seriously, holy autistic

>>54934837
I'm 99.99% you are full of bullshit.

Cancer like you is why people trying to use THEIR PROPERTY goes to jail just to unlock shit.

Fuck off.
>>
>>54934880
No actually I just checked, I'm 100% accurate. PSP doesn't run BSD. You were just looking for a place to spout your propaganda. Go eat a dick you fucking freetard.
>>
>>54934917
So because it runs A FUCKING DERIVATIVE is no longer BSD?

Go fuck yourself, twice.
>>
>>54935133
No you bumbling fucking moron, it's not a BSD derivative, it's not BSD based, it's unrelated to BSD.
>>
>>54934252
yeah there are emulators for a psp running custom firmware. I know there are emulators for at least the following:

genesis/md
gameboy/gameboycolor/gba
snes (it's not great, but some games play fine)
playstation (obviously)
nintendo
sega master system
cps1 and cps2
neo-geo

There are probably others, but that's all I can think of right now.
