According to PS2NFO there is a little more to it..

http://ps2nfo.com/modules.php?name=News&file=showarticle&threadid=2859

You need to patch BOOT.BIN

fake maybe?

the pre-patched boot.bin is included in the zip archive

Actually, I’ve replaced the launcher with the one from ps2nfo - I realized that providing the pre-patched BOOT.BIN probably may cause more legality issues.

So now you’ve got to patch it yourself. The PPF is included.

Damn! Now Sony is gunna force updates and take away all things homebrew. Ton is absolutely right and I have been thinking about this for a while. One of the only reasons Sony is forcing these updates is because piracy is a threat to them. I don’t think there were even talks of patches trying to get rid of homebrew before those ISOs were released on the internet. You guys are so greedy. I pirate other stuff but this is really really bad if this is going to allow us to play pirated PSP games. Now, Sony actually has a reason to take away homebrew and will probably enforce patching in even more ways. Imagine if they made the patch a requirement in games. Right now it’s a suggestion but I doubt Sony will stand for piracy. Just don’t get pissed when Sony tells everyone that every game coming out from now on is going to have 1.52. Won’t that suck? And whos to blame? Not sony. Just the assholes you released those ISOs and are now making loaders for games.

Issac, quit crying. Piracy will always be around. if something can read it, something can write it. Piracy didn’t start today. Other consoles, movies, music, pc’s still survive. Others couldve said, because of you homebrew people, Sony is putting out patches. They were updating before anything was even released. If you can’t beatem, joinem

1.51 - 1.52 and if it goes upto 2.0 will be cracked. The fact this is a multi-media harddrive based system will enable ways through.
It will just take some time.

I believe piracy is no good thing, but PS/PS2 was the most pirated systems ever! and became the most popular systems ever too.

So fear not, Sony will still make a healthy profit by playing cat and mouse with the hackers.

damnit, someone aim me and tell me how to do this, i wanna play it! (th0ngsdotc0m)

and the loader for PSP V1.0 ?!

anyone asks where to get the lumines ISO will be blacklisted without hesitation. or posts a link with where to download it from.

Whats done is done, no point complaining about it. =) its like a fun game of “whos the best”, Sony vs. Hackers =)

Cool - got it working with a bit of effort.

Tried it twice with no joy. Powered up the PSP, highlighted the loader, placed a UMD (Fifa) in the drive, closed the drive and ran the launcher - worked a charm.

Right, anyone know how to get it working for 1.0. Simple question

John, go to EB, buy the game, then use the umd dumper. there you have it.

John….. might wana read this from the admin: anyone asks where to get the lumines ISO will be blacklisted without hesitation. or posts a link with where to download it from.

If u use the UMD dumper, WHAT THE GHELL”S THE POINT OF THE ISO!?!?! Well, i guess quick loading, but not worth losing sound. Actually, you could buy the game,use UMD dumper and trade the game back for one u really want.

Oh and #5, U like using roms and emus on your PSP, right, well, roms are piracy unless u delete them in 24 hours, which I know nobody does Unless u have the actual game, and I know u dont have any game packs for your roms so thats already y sony wants to stop us! So dont have a heart attack ok. We WILL ahck 1.5+. Dont worry!

The loader will work in v1.0 psp`s,you need to get pspbrew and convert both the eboots in the folders to 1.0.You should end up with a 62kb eboot file that now works in 1.0 psp`s

also..you can use wablauncher 1.0a and the boot bin to load lumines.

im not bothering with lumines im waiting untill you can pirate ANY psp game thats when ill try it =D

u need to create a eboot.pbp and boot.bin patched for each games and test :) yourself !

>> Currently it lacks sound when playing off the MS.

But isn’t the sound THE POINT of the game? I’ll stick with the UMD, thanks.

yes sound IS the point

“I pirate other stuff but this is really really bad if this is going to allow us to play pirated PSP games”

You are gonna say you pirate stuff then condone people for trin to pirate games for the psp?

hypocrite

has any1 got this to work on ver 1.0 i get just a blank screen with slow flashing ms light even after joining the 2 eboot files

You dont support piracy, yet you give them the tools to do it?

They’re probably saying that to stay on the safe side.

“Please note we do not condone or support piracy…however, we will provide you with the Lumines Launcher for the time being.”

Sounds like you support, condone and facilitate piracy to me!

OMG!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS, WHOEVER MADE THE LUMIESE, I WILL EAT MY CASE FOR YOU! THANKS ALOT

You see

I like being able to run games from the memory stick, but I wish everyone would go out and at least buy a copy and use the UMDumper to put it on.

I mean, at least have the guts to buy it.

I wish everyone would just go out and buy the game.

also

I suggest not to use this program and just support sony.

But if you are a helper in the homebrew scene then I do suggest downloading it since it can open more doors to making new programs.

Sony is going to lose alot of money from this!

There was 2 posts by other people that was deleted because they said something similar to me. What I’m saying is that playing Nintendo roms on the PSP doesn’t hurt Sony but pirating UMDs hurts them a lot. It’s obvious they’ll want to protect the profit they get off of games. You say everything can be pirated and that’s a good point. But the thing is no console in history was able to update it’s firmware. PC’s can but microsoft isn’t going to take away any functionality away from it’s OS through updates. If they took away kazaa and Limewire through firmware upgrades, there would be a lot of people switching to diferent OSes. So basically this is the first pirating thing that matters (at least to me) because Sony can update the firmware and @@@@ up everything for all of us.

if you own the game, what is the harm? Supplying you with part of the puzzle, giving you instructions on how to complete it, is not telling you to pirate games. It is telling the person who owns the game, how to play it off the ms. Where’s the problem?

Do you really think people aren’t going to pirate games?

The only way to stop is to stop the source. Otherwise piracy will explode.

So, this doesn’t work on 1.00 psp’s? I’ve tried everything I can, and I have nooo idea how to join pbp’s heh

Before Idump my umd onto my memory stick, I would like to know the size of the iso file since each umd is 1.8 GBs, I don’t want to have to go buy an expensive 2GB memory stick.

37 - its about 250mb. There are only 1 or 2 games over a gig, most are between 200 and 800mb.

where is this “ppf” patch?

is it in the SYSDIR? “icon1″?

Nevamine
I.C.

shit… 1.51… OTL

damn

This is sweet they need to make one for Metal Gear Ac!d.

Over thinking of this.

this doesn’t have sound right?

then how does this make this any different then all those lumnines clones already out.

So if they stopped at this, it’s good development. But I think this should be the only launcher.

It makes no sense how a PSP Hacking site is scared of piracy and won’t support this new founding. This is a Hack rite? So why arent they supporting it? Hackers scared of Sony? thats new. Where is my frickin .iso?

so….will there be sound fot this in the future?

Yea I support big Mike! Whats the point of being a Hacking web-site if u can’t use the hacks!

“It’s stupid how PSP-Hacks say “we do not support this because it piracy” when the site is supose to be for hacks”-From a friend-

You guys who are whining need to shutup. You can say that you’re loyal all you want. Even if you’ve pirated one game your considered a hacker.
Also this new program here is great i wonder can this be done with Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition.
And yes i support the hacking scene very strong so don’t ask if i do.

Don’t you guys see.

They UPLOADED the umdloader.
They GAVE you a tutorial.
They SUPPLIED you with almost everything you need.

That is the hack. The ISO isn’t. It’s pure piracy.

They’ve supported the UMDloader, every emulator, and every release. But ISOs are not hacks.

UMD dumper is a hack. You want the ISO? Go buy the game for 40 bucks and use the program. Don’t pressure, ask, and pester a great website to host an illegal file.

No one is asking you to use the hacks and be grateful they are doing this much.

If the hack sites would put out illegal game isos, they would shut the sites down.

We don’t need people bitching and whining, be grateful.

Exactly. You guys act as if you WANT this site to be shut down. You should EXPECT psp-hacks to have to “sit on the line” while you ALL enjoy every single bit of hacking out there. psp-hacks has their role to play. You just mind your own role and enjoy all the great software.

It seems a lot of ppl don’t know the difference between hacking and piracy. Hacking means to reverse engineer something to do something it is not meant to to, ie play emulators or load lumines off the mem card. If you own lumines, then playing it off the mem card is great because it saves time to load and you don’t have to carry the disc. If you download the game and don’t pay for it, well then you have piracy there my friend. Playing homebrew apps and emulators is one thing, stealing games is another. Whats wrong with playing games you own off the memory card, so you won’t have to carry discs and you won’t have to wait for the load times? Lumines loads in under a second once you go to start game as compared to about 10 seconds off the disc. C’mon ppl, don’t be retarded. The loader is great, anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron. It has NOTHING to do with piracy. If you choose to steal the game and use this then thats on you. If you decide to rip your store bought copy and play it, thats on you too. STOP BITCHING!!!

As of now, the game is looking for the sound files on the UMD, however, since you are running the game off your memory stick and the psp doesn’t know to look there for the sounds, there will be no sound until someone figures out how to patch the isos to look on the memory stick for sounds

Admin. took off my post, booo

O come on, PS2nfo.com banned my IP adress. Thats cruel

Jesus christ, has anyone got this to work on a 1.0 ffs. No one gives a toss about piracy, If they stop charging £45 a game then il start buying them. But until then….PLEASE someone tell me how to get this working on a 1.0 because im seriously thinking about upgrading to 1.50

YAY - PIRACY AHOY…

IT DIDNT KILL THE PS2

IT DINT KILL THE XBOX…

IT HASNT KILLED PC GAMING…

IT WILL NOT KILL THE PSP!

So crawl outta Sony’s ass you whingers. as long as there are video games there will be piracy.

PS. Lumines is pretty good isnt it.

For PSP V1.0 the launcher is here …. http://www.teamjak.net/upload/upload/PSP_Lumines_Launcher_pack.rar

I don’t have a static IP, how you going to ban me!!!
HAHA

ignorance

I don’t condone pirating software, but this is indeed news.

Now how about a homebrew web browser? I dont want to shell out the cash for Wipeout.

Why are these other sites getting all holier than thou with “this will be our only ripping post” and “we don’t condone piracy” when they are all about emulators. Why are people so ignorant about roms? Steeling a rom is every bit as bad as steeling a PSP iso. If you are playing SNES Secret of Mana on your psp you may as well have stole Lumines. There are no concessions as to whether or not you own the original - roms are illegal! I don’t particularly care about roms or isos etc but I *Hate* when people say its rom to pirate software but that roms are ok. Its STILL pirating software.

/me steps down off soapbox

Having said thing - bring on more emulators and isos! :)

shouldn’t have typed so quickly. Ignore the above typos.

heres another movie:
http://emu-fusion.net/memorystick-lumines.AVI
it´s arround 2,5 mb

Where do you find the ppf files and how do you patch them????

Alough i will stick my neck out and say this is a “development”, consider how Sony will react….my money is on making homebrew even harder to achieve because of these “exploits” and firmware upgrades becoming compulsary per game.

BUT (and it’s a big bad fat but) I’ve used this exploit - and have decided to purchase Lumines tomorrow. I was dubious at first…All i heard was pretty puzzle game with nice tunes.

YOU don’t need the UMD_DATA.BIN
(Del it). And when you need in future more games on the stick then edit the EBOOT.PBP and the BIOS.BIN with a HEX Editor and Change “PSP_GAME” to “PSP_LUMI” !
Then rename “PSP_GAME” in the root of your MS to “PSP_LUMI” and all will be good :D

This is too funny! Ever since this news came out Lumines can be found EVERYWHERE on the net. People have been re-posting it left and right.

Yeah I got wipeout to work as well. KNow Iam trying to put bomberman.

how you got wipeout to work ???

wow i cant find iso’s anywhere i was thinking about downloading them the othere day just so id have them incase somethin like this happened o well guess thats my fault hope sony dosnt screw this site over its made my psp worth using lol

i think im just gonna rent the game from blockbuster then use a umd dumper that way i dont have the long load lol

I works only up to the intor thats all. Its like the other luncher the one they first release.

where can you rent the psp games from. Dose blockbuster has them?

In case you guys haven’t heard, team Xecuter has released a Lumines loader that DOES NOT require a UMD to be in the drive when you boot it up, they are also going to be releasing a sound fix very very soon #pspx for more information

Expect a new psp-hacks news bulletin come up in the days ahead outlining patch 1.53. It will say “No more applications off the memory stick! The saved game folder on the PSP is gone now with the new patch! When you go to the game tab, all you see is game sharing, saved data utility, and the UMD! No more applications off the memory stick at all! And be sure to see this update in every PSP game that will come out after July 3, 2005! It’s mandatory to every game!” Lets see you guys get around that.

Where did you find this information?

Isaac, stop baing a vagina mc gina and go with the flow. BTW DC was the most pirated system ever.

I’m just saying. Sony is gonna be making updates and forcing it down our throats in more ways than just the new UMDs now. If they did what I said in #77 we’ll need to get a mod chip to do anything homebrew. (And by the way, 77 is hypothetical but could and probably will happen.

whenever i try to launch Lumines, i get and error(8001002). i have the PSP_GAME in MS root and used the BIN file from teamexecuter so i don’t need an UMD. can ou tell me what i’m doing wrong….
pleazzzzz

I can tell you.

Your not playing with the Lumines UMD in the game system. Go to your local retailer and buy the Lumines UMD. Place it in the UMD tray and play!

F***ing piraters like you are going to destroy the PSP. I know hacking/pirating is GOING TO HAPPEN no matter what, but for God’s sake, buy the damn game if you really like it. If the PSP can’t sell games and Sony loses money, they will discontinue the system.

Idiots.

# 82 stop being a dick and a hater on this. if you don’t like hacking then what are you doing on this website.?

explain that you idiot.

I cant find what i need to patch. can someone help me.

Listen all !!!!!!!

If the games and movies werent ripping off the consumer with such high prices no one would think of copying them yeah ??
Of course we all understand that making the movies cost a lot of money and producers/actors and directors hardly get paid much money !!! so that must be the reason for tyhe high prices !!. I do not purchase movies until the prices drop to $4-6 each.
