PSP owners, rejoice. Max Console has more details on the world's first PlayStation Portable modchip, the Undiluted Platinum. The chip (dubbed "U.P.") is a replacement flash that allows folks to run homebrew code on the latest PSP systems. Here's the technospeak from Max Console:

The U.P. contains 32MB NAND flash which is programmable from the PC via a high speed USB connection, using our user friendly software. You may boot the PSP from either its onboard flash or the flash contained on the U.P; the flash which is used is determined by a button press as the PSP is powered on (U.P. flash is used by default, hold L1 to use the PSP onboard flash). Since U.P. provides a secondary flash which the PSP can boot from, it can even be used to restore a PSP which has been "bricked".

Play homebrews and get the latest firmware updates? Brillant! Brian Ashcraft
