London -Hackers have once again cracked the security technology on Sony's PSP, enabling pirated games to play on the console, GamesIndustry.biz reported. An earlier version of the security software was also cracked, prompting Sony to produce a software upgrade that plugged the hole; the company enticed PSP owners to download the upgrade by including a Web browser and the ability to share pictures over a Wi-Fi connection. Although the current security breach is so small that only tiny applications like a version of Atari's "Pong" can be made to play on the PSP, a development source told GamesIndustry.biz that, "chances are that they'll be able to run full size apps and games on version 2 firmware within a couple of weeks."
