Sony’s PSP Programmer Tool Runtime Library Release 2.5.0 Sample Leak
Some claim to have known about this leak for a few days now, but we have still to find substantial information either from developers or from Sony (on the off-chance that we find any substantial bit of news from Sony about it). Meanwhile, one of our writers (perhaps Pranav T.) will try to get more out of 0okm, so we’ll update this article as soon as we can. Furthermore, if any of you know anything, please feel free to comment here or head on over to our forum and get into a discussion.
Obviously, we can’t provide a download, and any more info we get at this point will probably be general. And that’s one of the sticky issues about this news: we have to wait and see if this news will develop into something big or not. Some of us are wondering how helpful this leak of an old library will be to our community of homebrew developers. But every little bit of knowledge helps, right?
Until we know the exact nature of this leak, we are asking you fine ladies, gents, guys, and gals to play it safe. Just like how we did it with a previous leak, we will ban commenters if their comments to this article have links to any sensitive or copyrighted files. You know that words like “sensitive,” “confidential,” “secret,” or “copyrighted” mean different things to us, to you, and to lawyers so we’d rather you don’t post links for now, OK? One good thing you can do (like what happened with previous leaks), is to head over to the forum and see if there’s already a discussion there or start your own.
