A post on X revealed that Nguyen had helped the manufacturer identify a fix for the hack. According to him, the possibility of running the emulator natively on the accessory was fixed with the release of firmware version 2.06.
First tweet — After more than a month of hard work, PPSSPP is running natively on PlayStation Portal. Yes, we hack. With the help of xyz and ZetaTwo.
Second tweet — We responsibly report issues to PlayStation. Bugs are fixed in version 2.06.
Criticized by some internet users, Nguyen suggested that the PSP hack on PlayStation Portal was carried out with the intention of exposing the system’s vulnerabilities and the ability to run external software locally. At no point did he intend to disclose details of the emulation to the public.
