psphacker sais theyve already updated this release but they wont give a link for download

NEVER will i attempt a mod chip in my psp……im scared just thinking about opening it…..and im not usually that way when it comes to tech. but im definetly not f***ing with this 250$ toy

thanks batman, I didn’t realize a new version was already released. The story’s been updated - with the link to download. :)

you welcome admin thanks for sharing the file :)

so does that mean we can soon play free torrented psp games on the psp?

no…I downloaded it already.. it need to have a UMD also..And also it crash when it at the loading screen. But it a great step towards UMDless gaming.

SWEET!! I gots that shit ta work..thanksyabunch

Ah so close :) can’t wait

This is great news! Just think how much better battery life will be w/o using a UMD!

Granted, it might take a few software revisions and/or mod chips to get it right, but great nonetheless!

Well, if they make a mod chip, I know a professional guy who works with opening up extremely delicate thing and he could get one in a PSP without getting dust all oveer the screen. Tht’s the worst part of openeing a PSP

Thanks, whoever owns PSP-Hacks, as PSP Hacker is too fricking scared to host the file.
You rock :D

Ehm can some1 paste the news post, i’m one of the unfortunate ones who cannot see the post.

kayone, Have you tried deleting your cookies? this seems to be the problem.

Damn sweet,it’s really progressing now,so close to a fully working loader i think!

Update: It looks like v2.0 Alpha of the WAB MS Launcher has been released already. Again this does still not enable you to play any games - yet.

WAB Launcher v2.0 Alpha

source: ps2nfo

AloneTrio of the group WAB has released an alpha version of a Memory Stick (MS) Launcher. Basically when installed this will provide the ability to launch extracted UMD ISO images off the memory stick. One catch - no games are yet playable. Apparently most games will begin loading the intro/title screen and will eventually hang before getting any further. Chances are this is caused by a UMD media routine check. Again no games are yet playable - we’re just one step further!

This was also mentioned on ps2nfo:

“In related news, we also received confirmation today from a popular Chip developer that a PSP Mod is expected to arrive in the near future. On the plus side it will allow you to fully run the ISO images from your Memory Stick, but on the minus side it will likely involve both forking over a bit of ca$h and opening up your precious $250 PSP console. More news on this as it becomes available of course!�

So with all that said, download the WAB Memory Stick Alpha Launcher!

Check back for updates as more information becomes available.

Well, at least it does work. I tried lumines and it just locks at a black screen, but wipeout does stop at the loading screen. It doesn’t lock, it just says loading and has the bars moving and thats it, it just stays there. I hope they get this working soon and have it so you can have multiple directories so you can hold multiple games on 1 stick instead of using root. I’m warry of a chip but I would be more than happy to do psp installs :). GJ guys, hope to see more improvements asap!

I think that you need to keep it at that screen for a bit longer since the psp can probably read the UMD a lot faster then it can with the memory stick. I am not even sure if that conserves battery power

anyone know the difference between the new version and older version?

“the psp can probably read the UMD a lot faster then it can with the memory stick”

… in what universe is it faster to read optical media than to read memory that has a direct electric connection to the unit? :P

yeah deledted cookies no luck..

Admin, pspupdates (psphacker) are talking about a successful bootup iso of the game lumnines from the memory stick. They talk about the entire game on ms, but unfortunalty, they can’t host it, I was wondering is psp-hacks could.

yeah I was other there and they have a video too of this bootloader.

yes ive seen that too

they wont even tell were to get it but the video does show it working

so its done!!! now we just have to find it if anyone has luck please share

“I am not even sure if that conserves battery power”

Well of course it would. Spinning up a UMD would definitely require more power than running that same data of a memory stick.

Try watching a movie from your memory stick versus watching Spiderman on the UMD.

No website is going to host Lumines for people to download, what a silly question!

“Hi, would you please promote piracy and theft? Thanks!”

where do i put the iso on the stick becuase all i get is a black screenwhen i start the launcher

ep, it works,ive just sucessfully played lumines without sound from my MS on a 1.5

Mark - have you got a UMD in the drive - its required…

i dont get this. where do i put the eboot.pbp file?

hi i want to buy a 1gb psp (white) but i dont kno what version to get the 1.5 has now gone UP in price why is this ??? if i get a 1.5 can i use homebrew and play normal games (shop bought) on it?? you can also reply to my e-mail spokidoki@aol.com thanks xx jodee xx
