Programmers got PSP games running on the PlayStation Portal, then “responsibly reported” the exploit so it could be patched (www.techradar.com)

The latest PlayStation Portal update has supposedly addressed an exploit that allowed PlayStation Portable (PSP) games to be emulated natively on the streaming handheld.

This is according to a recent X / Twitter post by Andy Nguyen that was first spotted by VGC. An employee at Google, Nguyen previously claimedthat they were part of a small team that was able to get PSP games running offline on the PlayStation 5 peripheral via some hacking and the open-source emulator PPSSPP.

Now, however, Nguyen says that the exploit they used to get the software installed and running has been patched after they “responsibly reported the issues to PlayStation.” This alleged change comes as part of the latest PS Portal software update, version 2.0.6.

Didn't they produce a lot of content in the Vita modding scene?

My understanding is that this is basically a "hey guys I let Sony know about this exploit, so you should totally make sure your systems stay fully up to date so that when details on how to use this exploit are released, you won't be able to use it"
