PlayStation Portal PSP Emulation Exploit Gets Patched Out After Hackers Reported the Issue

The newish PlayStation Portal device is made for playing your favorite PS5 games on-the-go via Remote Play, but like any good handheld peripheral, users were quick to see what else the PlayStation Portal could do. In at least one case, that meant making it so that the PlayStation Portal could emulate PlayStation Portable games via PPSSPP, a program meant to emulate PSP games on mobile devices.

Nguyen said at the time that there were no plans to release this exploit publicly, so it was up to others to figure it out for themselves if they wanted to follow suit with PSP emulation on the PlayStation Portal. After PlayStation's Version 2.0.6 update for the device, however, that's apparently become a bit more difficult.

Sure enough, PlayStation did put out an update this week for the PlayStation Portal. In line with other updates for things like the PS5, the notes for the update don't say much beyond PlayStation saying it's"improved system software performance and stability," but this particular emulation exploit has evidently been removed.
