People made a big deal about the PSPgo’s lack of a replaceable battery, a design component intended to thwart hackers. One has already found an old exploit is still feasible on the new hardware.

“No, it’s not going to lead to custom firmware, piracy, or a Pandora[‘s Battery, a means to mod PSP firmware] for the Go,” FreePlay says. “It can’t write to the flash, and it even seems to be unable to overwrite the system settings, which was always unblocked before on the older systems. It’s user-mode only.”
The site pspslimhacks calls this a “semi-hack” and notes that the exploit has been around for sometime.
Despite turning down the volume and keeping the game screen away from the camera, a small fragment of the game’s load screen can be seen around 1:18. Any guesses what it is?
