Sony Computer Entertainment has cautioned users of its recently-launched PlayStation Portable (PSP) against installing a software file currently available on some enthusiast Web sites. The file at first glance appears to add several new features to the handheld gaming device when installed but the result is quite different.
“We have become aware that there is a software program going around on some Web sites and Internet bulletin boards claiming to be an update file that rewrites the system software of the PSP hardware,” says Nanako Kato, a spokesperson for Sony in Tokyo.
“This software has not been issued officially by [Sony] and does not function properly. We advise our users not to execute or apply the program as it will cause the PSP hardware to stop operating,” she says.
