No. not software that ONLY runs under Windows XP
Programs require a homebrew capable PSP (version 1.0 or 1.50 firmware). The PSP has special hardware to decrypt files.

There is a sample in the PSPSDK to decrypt .PRX files (the typical format of .PSP files)

There is a program called "PSAR Dumper" that will dump the .PSAR data for the known update programs

Then you should probably ignore the above advice ;->
This stuff is hard to figure out. Don't be one of the idiots who think a 5 minute hack is going to open up the PSP.

If you don't already have a homebrew capable PSP, you probably shouldn't be asking these questions.
If looking for an exploit, please ask elsewhere.
