as of now, still need to manually enable the CFE everytime the PSP is rebooted

NDS got piracy too, yet they are not lack of nice games, ditto to Xbox 360, on the contrary, the only "virgin" to date platform which is PS3 is somewhat lacking support from 3rd party developers

eboot with some sort of DRM

since when PSP are manufactured in malaysia

then basically is no difference, just that parallel imported PSP will be rejected service by Sony Malaysia

for the permanent modded PSP, it will void warranty too
