Having done a bit of homebrew and other things with my Sony PSP, this post was a little confusing until I hit the readme (Sony PSP uses MIPS instead of AMD). Especially since a tool of this name already exists: https://gbatemp.net/download/psp-tool.7590/

You are not alone. I had the same confusion at first glance.

> PSPTool Is a Swiss Army Knife for the Firmware of the AMD Secure Processor

Do people stop reading titles after the first word now?

Many tools and programs have started life as a niche hacking tool. For example, XBMC. I also had to pause and wonder if this tied into the PSP somehow.

Your little story is relevant.. how?

The rest of the title literally has nothing to do with the Sony PSP... If you open the article, you'll see it has even less to do with the Sony PSP. It's not hard, folks, even for "Hacker" "News".

It's not hard to be civil either.

Well, you replied to someone making a comment about first glances, and I too, at first glance, had a brief moment of confusion.

That's how it's relevant. I'm sorry that you have trouble understanding that.

Not sure, did you stop reading my post after "little confusing"? Because I explained exactly why, and it had everything to do with the "AMD Secure Processor" portion.
