2.0 Exploited

Alias420 | September 23, 2005

Update: This proof of concept has now been confirmed as a working exploit for the 2.0 firmware. Now we have to wait until some more useful code using this exploit is released :) Remember who had it first PSP-Hacks.com

We just received a very convincing email claiming to have hacked the 2.0 firmware. We do not currently have a 2.0 PSP accessible right now. So we would like our members to try it out and let us know how it goes. We’ve been hearing rants for a while about no 2.0 news so here is a chance to not just complain but actually help out and let us know if it works.

Forum Topic

First Homebrew Code on 2.00

—————————–

1. Set wallpaper to frame_buffer.png (without overflow.tif present

in the PHOTO directory, or it will crash).

2. Add overflow.tif to the PHOTO directory, and open into the photo

viewer. Custom code to paint the screen! Or to write a homebrew

app! Not to run illegal games.

How It Works?

—————

1. The PNG contains a small amount of code in a known, fixed place

(the VRAM). If to look closely at the wallpaper, sees small

coloured pixels in the right down. The pixels are Allegrex

opcodes, with the highest byte all zero for the ALPHA. These

pixels do:

syscall 0x20C7 ; sceKernelDcacheWritebackInvalidateAll

slt a0, zero, sp ; put 1 into a0

sll a0, a0, 6 ; put 64 into a0

addiu a0, sp, a0 ; get screen painter address over SP

jr a0 ; jump to the screen painter

nop ; branch delay slot

2. The TIFF contains also some code and a buffer to trigger the

known BitsPerSample overflow in libtiff in the photo viewer.

The buffer makes a jump to the VRAM which has the PNG colours

by overwriting the safed ra (return address) on the stack.

The VRAM code uses SP and calculates the address of the buffer

then runs it. Then it jumps there. The screen is yellow as

the colour was 0×12345678 in Hex.

PSP Users:

We didn’t do this so you could steal from Sony and game companies.

We believe in OSS. There are plenty of amazing programs that have

been written for the PSP. Use this as a gift and not as an excuse

to steal.

Sony:

If you wanted to find us i know you could. This release wasn’t

intended as a way to run pirated software on the PSP. We believe

that everyone should be able to compile their own code and run it.

Nothing is kept secret forever and i’m sure you know this.

In the end, if it wasn’t us. It would be some one else.

Fighting it would be like skating up a hill. You did create the

PSP and did an amazing job.

Toc2rta:

To the people of the Toc2rta development network. You’re our phone

a friend. With out your friendship this would never of happened.

I hope this brings you as much happiness as it brings us.

Most importantly… Have fun!

    what???? crazy cool if this is for real

  2. JayQue says:

    haha this is great news !!

  3. hang says:

    is it really can use?
    i am really looking forward to it!

  4. kja127 says:

    doesnt work, try it

  5. Carlito says:

    Isnt that because the codes to go into this?

  6. none says:

    Wow great news, well now we can run homebrew and get the encryptation code for 2.0, so say in about some days PSP can run homebrew software AGAIN.
    YESSSSSSS

  7. belly0fdesire says:

    #4 did you try it?

  8. xGuNax says:

    I try it and it doesent fuck your psp… but … it turn off it… you turn on… the version still the same… someone have more info?

  9. matti says:

    it says that the png file is cruppted what to do ?

  10. EMH says:

    Lol I don’t even understand what they’re saying. Anyway I think it’s a fake.

    I’ll wait till all the homebrews and apps are converted for the 2.0 if it actually works. I’ll update after that.

  11. mattfazzer says:

    this has been proven to function.i have tried it with various code and it works perfectly…im working on getting this to boot more code(like a PBP loader for example…)

  12. Alias420 says:

    #8 This isn’t a downgrader

  13. hang says:

    why i cant use it?!?!
    it hangs my psp

  14. Kaminari says:

    So, after you load this, and it does what it does…

    how do i get a snes emulator to run? (if even possible)

  15. Someone says:

    Wow, well i cant wait till it really works. Until then im sticking with 1.5

  16. bigboy says:

    you need to convert your SNES to this expliot method

  17. Sasuke says:

    this is amazing if it truly works and i really hope this works cause im upgrading if it does but not untill there is solid evidence it does

  18. hang says:

    put frame_buffer.png into photo directory?
    set it as wallpaper…then delete it and put the overflow.tif into it..an i rite?

  19. qgi says:

    This really works…somehow.
    Executed something ochre before it crashed.
    Can’t wait until somebody really does something useful with this.

  20. mattfazzer says:

    it’s supposed to without code.the overrun TIFF can be edited in windows picture and fax viewer,text can be added along with many other features.

  21. owned says:

    how will like a app snes9x work with this ??? is it hard from this ?

  22. Sasuke says:

    does this matter which type of 2.0 you need?? jap (1st one) or american one???

  23. Kaminari says:

    there needs to be a forum topic about this.

    AND THERE NEEDS TO BE WORKING SNES 9X FOR IT!

  24. DAN says:

    i followed the steps i loaded the png. set it as wallpaper n then i loaded the overflow n my screen just turned brown

  25. owned says:

    how hard will it be to make e,g snes9x, fastloader ? from this thing ???

  26. Alias420 says:

    Not hard I imagine. Patience is required. I’m sure a PBP launcher isn’t far off.

  27. owned says:

    can sum1 explain what does this mean for 2.00 is it done cracked or not and how long b4 we see homebrew

  28. Necronomikron says:

    It’s not done yet, guys.

    This is proof of concept code.

    Once we get a pbp loader, we’ll be golden.

  29. ROMz says:

    this is more than lileky only an exploit for 2.00 jap as many ppl’s psp crashes.. also the CRC32 fro thr jap and the us fw are completely different… something was changed in 2.00 us.. it wasn’t delayed for a reason it prolly is that hole that was fixed….

  30. Bomber says:

    Tested on my euro 2.00 , work as expected in the readme

  31. Glenn says:

    I cant choose any Theme after this trick.
    I only set images as wallpaper :(
    how can i deactivate this?

  32. hang says:

    haihz
    so i cant do anything with it then?

  33. Necronomikron says:

    @31 in the theme settings, there should be a ‘USE Wallpaper’ option, turn it off.

  34. jophar says:

    Gr8!! :)

    Now all we have to do is wait that homebrew comes out in .tiff files xD
    Indeed it works… but, if the creaters are listening, it has a little problem… if u have more than one photo in the photo library, it loads the miniatures and when it loads the .tiff it apply’s the code and uses the exploit. I am not sure if this can be fixed but indeed is a great discovery =)
    Homebrew will be again =)

    Nice job!

  35. hang says:

    i upgraded it from winning eleven umd…
    so i cant use it?

  36. sourceone says:

    damn i hope someone jumps on this quick.. anyone have the jap2.0 update or a link to it??

  37. Glenn says:

    quote:
    @31 in the theme settings, there should be a ‘USE Wallpaper’ option, turn it off.

    thx :P i did not see that.

  38. dave says:

    Worked on my euro 2.0, cant wait for the loader now, well done guys!

  39. RJB says:

    You can view your images through the web browser just add the directory link into your html bookmarks file and walla you have best of both

  40. hang says:

    is it that us2.00 cant use it?

  41. Surtsey says:

    Jesus, it certainly didn’t work properly for me.

    I followed instructions, then when scrolling down the image list to find the overflow.tif to view the system goes berserk and the screen barfs lots of horrible shit.

    Luckily the PSP does, in fact, still work.

  42. hgfjfgtj says:

    how do i work this

  43. Charlie says:

    #41 r u dumb thats wut its supposed to do provin that it works. read the instructions and other comments be4 u go embarassing urself

  44. dave says:

    41 thats exactly what it is supposed to do, its a proof of concept only, they have managed to get the psp 2 version to run thier own code, first step, then hello world, i hope.

  45. Pmb236 says:

    Tout simplement terrible. Merci beaucoup.

    Fonctionne sur psp euro (fr) v2.0

  46. owned says:

    when can we expect homebrew to start ? what is buffer overflow is it good way to running homebrew

  47. simonschrader says:

    WOW ! just testet this with my PSP 2.0 EU and it does just what the exploit is supposed to do. IT WORKS ! Now sombody should share some programming faq´s with us so we kann start understanding und using this exploit. A tool like kxploit would even be greater !! Thanks to the programmers. (this will be used for pirated stuff for shure :-( ) but I hope Homebrew comes first.

  48. Yoshihiro Taco Bell? says:

    JUst today someone in my class said “it will probably be cracked in a week” and I was like “nah maybe a couple months” but it happened on the same day I opened my mouth. I think I’ll stick with my v 1.5 and when the VERY TALENTED people who release codes figure out how to use this xploit then I will switch to 2.0, enjoy the browser, and switch over all my apps. This is some of the best news I have heard in a long time. I am sure it will take a couple months to run the code and all that but Kudos to whom ever figured this out. Now EVERYONE CAN UPGRADE AND SHUT UP ABOUT A DOWN GRADER. PS WAB can lick DEEEEEEEEES NUUUUUUUUUTSS LOL!!!!!

  49. Surtsey says:

    #44, you can suck my cock it didn’t do what it was supposed to.

    What happened to my PSP simply looked like memory corruption.

  50. junkmonkey says:

    Does what it is supposed to on my White JAP PSP. I think we potentially have a winner here. All that latest flash emulation work by humma, I think we may be able to get some nice stuff working on the 2.0. I’m spending this weekend coding! woo woo!

  51. Yoshihiro Taco Bell? says:

    41 you’ll have to wait until someone releases some code for it. Just be patient. Its nice to see another xploit come through. I am sure they will re-release all the nice apps using this later on.

  52. Surtsey says:

    Also make note you dumbasses, I said I encounter issues before I ever even get a chance to view the image.

  53. Surtsey says:

    You fucking morons just don’t get it.

    It didn’t work on my system. It hung it, I had to hard-reset it. It didn’t display a mustard colour, it distorted the contents of the screen until they were unreadable then just locked up.

  54. sourceone says:

    anyone have a link to the JULY JAPANESE 2.0??

  55. Zoom says:

    A buffer overflow exploit takes advantage of a block of data in code that does not explicitly check whether the data that is written to it will fit. I’m not terribly knowledgeable about this but I believe certain machine instructions (like those described above) are inserted into the part that flows past the bounds of the buffer, overwriting whatever code was there before. Then, when the code reaches the point in memory where the overwritten code is, it executes whatever the exploiter wants. In this case, its bits written into a specific memory location in an image. Once the return address is overwritten, I think its just a matter of writing a loader that takes advantage of this exploit and hands off control to whatever game/app the user wants to run.

  56. dave says:

    well us morons probably deleted the frame buffer.png after setting it as wallpaper, which u did not

  57. h4rdc0m says:

    If you choose slideshow before going in the foto folder it works and it doesnt crash

  58. Yoshihiro Taco Bell? says:

    Maybe you don’t get it b/c you are one of the only ones bitching. Maybe you fucked up. Stop crying. If its fake then I am sure we will find out in a couple days but alot of people claim it works so STFU dick!

  59. Surtsey says:

    1. Set wallpaper to frame_buffer.png (without overflow.tif present
    in the PHOTO directory, or it will crash).
    2. Add overflow.tif to the PHOTO directory, and open into the photo
    viewer. Custom code to paint the screen! Or to write a homebrew
    app! Not to run illegal games.

    Just where does it tell you to telete the *.png?

  60. Surtsey says:

    I didn’t say it was fake, yoshihiro you shallow dipshit.

    I said it didn’t work like it should have on my PSP, it could easily be any number of the variables which do happen to be different on my system from anyone else here and what I was pointing out was simply that it may need investigation.

  61. dml says:

    perhaps wab can steal this and make a downgrader?

  62. tzkuei says:

    Fantastic news, it won’t be long before someone hacks the MS/ISO loader code into the PNG, and just imagine, we only have to change the wallpaper to run a different game, and each PNG can contain the UMD box cover artwork. Sweet!

  63. Surtsey says:

    Alright, to all you nitwits who tried calling me a moron because it didn’t work how it was supposed on my PSP, take a glance at this.

    http://img279.imageshack.us/img279/3379/nasty0jl.png

    Keep in mind, it happens when I’m scrolling through the image menu, not when I try loading the overflow.tif. Also, I’ve tried it before and after deleting frame_buffer.png with no change.

    This camera sucks so you can’t see many of the finer details, but you can see enough to know something’s not right.

  64. TBOX says:

    to see how to work it download the video at http://www.psphacks.net/files/homebrew2.0.mp4

  65. SHUT_UP says:

    For all you people with your negitivity about this you can kiss my ass because this is the first step to the downgrader(if it works of course)!!

  66. Yoshihiro Taco Bell? says:

    Hey Surtsey I got one for ya

    http://www.whaaaaaaaaaa.com

  67. mike says:

    62 i get the same on my euro so u r not the only one

  68. Yoshihiro Taco Bell? says:

    PS Surtsey take a joke.

  69. gangta says:

    It doesnèt fuckin work my bling(psp) almost crashed fuck them

  70. Zoom says:

    Why would you want a downgrader if you had access to the same functionality as 1.5 in terms of homebrew plus all of the added features (web browser, wallpaper, etc) of 2.0?

  71. yo says:

    come on coder ……start coding homebrew…………….I been waiting for this for ages…

  72. dml says:

    70 i was trying to make a joke?

  73. Zoom says:

    #72: Hah, I must be in a crappy mood because I didn’t see the sarcasm at all, heh. I’m still on 1.5 but this is really great for everyone.

  74. DeATh-RaIn says:

    Does anyone have the EU Downloadlink for the Firmware 2.0, because i have smashed my demo disc into trash.

  75. STFU says:

    #66 For all you people with your negitivity about this you can kiss my ass because this is the first step to the downgrader(if it works of course)!!

    Why I the fucking living hell do we want to downgrade our psp if this exploit works? If it works then that meas it works without downgrading.

    hellllllllllllllooooooooooooooo

  76. RaiderX says:

    I tried this out my 2.0 and it works! kick ass!! Now we just need a TIF thta has an EBOOT encoded into it or something and then we have cracked 2.0!! MAN!! i almost shit my pants when i saw this!!

  77. DjCompLEX says:

    How does this work, sorry ima noob but I have a grasp of the idea…… Could somebody help explain this

  78. yo says:

    HEy #75 just bring your PSP to a “hot spot” and use the Network update or if you have a router just use that . it a lot easier than download from the net.

  79. DeATh-RaIn says:

    #79 Hm, the file you can download from there are from the 19th of september. Hmm, is it the same on the DEMO DISC ?!? we dont know it !

  80. iwannadowngrade says:

    he 64. i can’t play your video i only hear sound how do i play it??

  81. JustMe says:

    #78 it’s a standard buffer overflow exploit, the corrupted tiff image causes the software on the psp to crash but before it crashes it causes the execution to jump to some extra code added to the frame_buffer file. Similar things like this have been done on the xbox and pc.

  82. Gr'Bull says:

    European 2.0 firmware is at download section in http://www.lans-vc.com (sorry, the site is great but it is portuguese)

  83. GuessWho says:

    YES, THE http://WWW.LANS-VC.COM IS THE PSP GREATEST SITE I EVER SEEN!!

  84. Azeiteiro says:

    the download section is HUGE!

  85. RaiderX says:

    to #84,

    NO! THIS IS THE THE BEST PSP SITE EVER!!!!!!!!!!

    LONG LIVE HOMEBREW!!!!!

  86. Dman101 says:

    right on!!! 87

  87. Tsune says:

    Hmm i want to test this. Should i update my firmaware 1.0 to 2.0 just to test this????

  88. Eddy says:

    #89: What is it with you? If anything, update to 1.5…don’t update to 2.0 JUST to test it out. Are you really that desperate for attention? What a lamer to even think of doing that to a perfectly good 1.0

  89. [00:41] [DUPECHECK] [0DAY] CRACKED.PSP.2.0.POC-iND @23.09.2005 21:49:38 (2 hours 52 minutes 18 seconds ago)

    i just found this. our german boys did it.

    i think also, that they hacked it. because they are the best crackers for software, games, etc.

    so, enjoy this shit.
    greets from switzerland

  90. HANK HILL says:

    hey has anyone try to run a program using this

  91. Tsune says:

    1.5 has no wallpaper. or webbrowser only give corrupt file. i want to try 2.0. looks cool. btw i was just playing, i wouldnt update my little baby. hehe =P

  92. yo says:

    we cant yet #94 this is just a big step toward 2.00 homebrew

  93. KINGTONE says:

    crackers, im getting hungry. i have 1.5 and i will NEVER update unless a future version is equipt w/ vertual whoopy.

  94. branden says:

    i did it according to the directions, and have tried it several times, but it locks up when i click photo, anyone know what i did wrong?

  95. Tsune says:

    what is it supose to do?

  96. yo says:

    #98 if you did it right the PSP screen will turn orage and then the PSP will automatically turn it seft off
    and that all this thing will do
    ………..for now

  97. Deathking says:

    SO damn it DOES IT WORK OR NOT …just say YES or NO please and thank you

  98. Kaminari says:

    jesus christ #101, read the forum, read the posts, or read the front fucking page.

    yes, it works.

  99. Tsune says:

    #101 maybe

  100. branden says:

    so lemme get this straight, all it is SUPPOSED to do is just, go orange lock up, shut down and its good?
    the what is the point of this!?

  101. branden says:

    mine turns brown

  102. Deathking says:

    i just want to make sure it works before i upgrade to 2.0..so i should upgrade right?..i know i am being dumb i just dont want to fuck my psp up

  103. yo says:

    yeah brown not orange ……My bad…

  104. yo says:

    dont upgrade yet….#106

  105. Deathking says:

    well if it works what am i waiting for?

  106. PCSIPA says:

    Anyone who has anything bad to say about this exploit can shut their fucking mouths until they have come up with something better!

  107. yo says:

    hey everyone do not upgrade your PSP wait till this thing fully funtion first.

  108. Deathking says:

    Ok ill give it a day to make sure

  109. yo says:

    hey #110 what can u run with this exploit so far? mine telling us please?

  110. jack says:

    what happens after it turns brown?

  111. yo says:

    #114 I think the PSP turn it seft off

  112. branden says:

    then what happends, after u reboot, this is what i dont get, it turns brown, shuts off, what have i gained!?

  113. Deathking says:

    WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT SAY?

  114. branden says:

    ill translate h/o

  115. jack says:

    and it goes off then i turn it back on and??????????????????????

  116. branden says:

    translated word for word, it means:

    […] Finally, what we were waiting for many … an exploit has been for the PSP v 2.0 that will allow to execute applications and games homebrew (applications not signed by Sony). At the moment only there exists a file that demonstrates the existence of the exploit changing the fund of screen of the PSP. I could not have proved it because I do not have the firmware 2.0 installed in my PSP but places as PSPupdates and PSP-HACKS confirms that it works and this opens the whole new world of possibilities to the usuari

  117. Mr.Az3iTeS says:

    I found a site, where there are a psp 2.0 cracked firmware, it’s amazing!
    I tested this, and this has worked fine!
    For free download, you must register at this portuguese website, it’s a very powerful psp downloads website…
    The for you register is:
    http://www.lans-vc.com/site/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=new_user

    ;)

  118. branden says:

    if the whole purpose of it is to turn the screen brown, then yes, it works

  119. Greg Morgan says:

    damn i dont understand cuz i am a noob can anyone help me?

    aim = socceraxl

    http://www.myspace.com/gregory9008

  120. jack says:

    is that it, all it has 2 do is turn brown ?

  121. Deathking says:

    yeah so say i do upgrade to 2.0 and do this exploit ..what can i use on it ?

  122. Dman says:

    can someone explain how this exploit differs from how the 1.5 exploit works. or just explain how the 1.5 works all together because from what i read this means that we will have to open all homebrew from the photos>file_name.tif in order to play anything

  123. branden says:

    that sight is bogus, dont go to it, and dont upgrade yet!
    wait till it is fully operational, give it a week tops

  124. branden says:

    give it time 128, there trying to make homebrews accesible on 2.0 because then ull have the homebrews of 1.50 with the features of 2.0

  125. chris says:

    Yes, this is so great. I all ways though they would come out with a down grader first. but I was wrong.

  126. branden says:

    y have a downgrader, when u could have HB’s on the 2.0, think about it

  127. Greg Morgan says:

    124

    can you help me???

  128. branden says:

    help u with what?

  129. boy says:

    ok when the psp goes off and i turn it back on what else do i do?

  130. Greg Morgan says:

    i have no idea what to do…from the start

  131. branden says:

    first download the files

  132. branden says:

    then put the overflow file into ur photos, then set it as the backround, then put the other file in along with the overflow one, then just hit photos and it should turn brown, mission accomplished, did u get it?

  133. puss says:

    #82, does that mean that every time we use one of these tif images it will cause our psp to crash, but load a new program.. will it be possible to load back to the psp home screen after loading one of these tifs cos atm my psp just freezes and locks all buttons so i need to take the battery out to reset it

    in addition, this newspost doesnt really allow us to run homebrew on it because no one has released any?

  134. branden says:

    nobody knows alot as of now, maybe by the end of the weekend we will have homebrews for 2.0. who knows

  135. CoolMan says:

    Hey,Can anyone figure out the portuguese website from #122?
    I am already a member but cant find anything for psp.

  136. branden says:

    its bogus, i signed up and theres nothing

  137. Someone says:

    I just updated my v1.0 to 2.0, and it doesnt work! =(. But, i can still run homebrew apps. but there is no web browser.

  138. CoolMan says:

    #43 That is what i thought

  139. branden says:

    why did u upgrade, there should be a web browser and u shouldnt be able to play homebrews, u must still be at 1.0 and i double checked that website in #122
    it is indeed bogus, nothing about the psp excepts a few game reviews and news about the psp, no downloads

  140. Someone says:

    i can only play 1.5 homebrew games. not 1.0

  141. Yoshihiro Taco Bell? says:

    upgrades for 2.0 are on this site and you shouldn’t upgrade until coders make break throughs using this xploit. I am sure it will be a while before they can. Thank you and merry christmas!!!

  142. CoolMan says:

    Yeah,i kept trying to find stuff for psp on that website=nothing

  143. belly0fdesire says:

    i just wanna say fuck yall to all the bitches that talked shit about upgrading… who will now soon be upgrading… FUCK YALL… w00t w00t… PSP-HACK.COM is the shit…

  144. CoolMan says:

    why dis the website?

  145. 1smurf says:

    150…bitch u stupit…

  146. belly0fdesire says:

    i hate you ppl… why are you such assholes… you know?

    there are 3 types of ppl on this site… the ones that make progress… the ones that support those who make progress and the ones that talk shit… these are the ppl that call others morons because they are too stupid to get things to work… it disgusts me that I have to share progress with these ppl… i want to stab them repeatedly in their assholes and pour lemon juice on the wound and listen to them cry… i want them to die….. PSPHACKA and Surtsey belong in this group…

    there’s no need for a downgrader with this legitimate exploit… it’s the beggining of a whole slew of wonderful homebrew proggies and a PBP launcher…

    yay… sorry if i got emotional.. i’m just excited and sick of all the negativity and shit talkers…. either your part of the solution or your part of the problem… and if your part of the problem… please… for all of our sakes… take your own life…

    thank you.

  147. CoolMan says:

    uh….i wasnt mean,i just wondered why you hate this site,now i know

  148. Dylan says:

    hey guys,
    i have no idea what this is about. Can someone please explain what it is, how it works and what it does. i dont understand anything….

  149. branden says:

    i am a supporter, i dont talk shit,u guys shouldnt either, unless u can make more progress than the people at psp-hacks.com then dont talk shit

  150. branden says:

    that was a little harsh tho man

    and #155

    download the needed files
    then put the overflow file into ur photos, then set it as the backround, then put the other file in along with the overflow one, then just hit photos and it should turn brown, mission accomplished, did u get it?

  151. Deathking says:

    how do u set stuff as a background?

  152. Yoshihiro Taco Bell? says:

    Right on 153. Im a smart ass and all but I owe all my PSP glory to the progress of coders. Thank you all once again. p.s. can anyone tell the mods of this site to update the down loads section. The dgen and snes stuff is out dated. Thanks again.

  153. chris says:

    how do you get out of the brown screen.

  154. Mike says:

    Geht es nun auf der 2.00???
    Oder nicht???
    Wenn ja dann bitte eine erklärung in deutsch danke

  155. branden says:

    hit triangle and the option on the top row says, set as wallpaper

  156. krux says:

    nice. screen turns yellow when browsing the overflow.tif

  157. justin says:

    People stop with all the complaining this is the first step to getting the downgrader we need to be happy that at least someone can crack the firmware 2.00 code after what happened to WAB what ever happened to them! DANG!!!! IDIOTS!!!!:-D

  158. branden says:

    i see a brown but w/e

  159. CoolMan says:

    i just say if you dont like it,dont post because when homebrew comes out,you’ll change your mind.

  160. branden says:

    exactly, i mean this will be a huge breakthrough,

  161. Deathking says:

    i think i goin to upgrade cause i have 1.52..what would be the difference?
    what do u people think?

  162. boy says:

    that’s right

  163. Deathking says:

    i mean 1.51

  164. branden says:

    if u have 1.52 then yes, upgrade, there not working on 1.52,there working on 2.0, plus u get the wallpaper and the web browser :D

  165. branden says:

    if u have 1.51, wait it out till they actually run homebrews on 2.0

  166. Deathking says:

    well they dont have anything for 1.51 either..it seems there workin more on 2.0 then 1.51

  167. branden says:

    o my bad then, they only have things for 1.0 and 1.5 right?
    ya then upgrade, i mean, u got nothing to lose

  168. Deathking says:

    my soul right but who needs …lol

  169. branden says:

    hahahahah, those r so over-rated nowadays

  170. Deathking says:

    where do u put the update at last time i used wireless internet so i am not sure how to do it manualy

  171. branden says:

    to do it manually
    download the update then put the EBOOT in ur GAMES folder then go to ur games section then to memory stick

  172. Deathking says:

    i did do that but it would not run…well it said it cant run?

  173. chris says:

    to upgrade from your pc you have to make a folder named update in the game folder on you memory card. then down load the file form “http://www.us.playstation.com/PSP.aspx?id=softwareupdate/Agreement.html#english” and save it in the update folder.

  174. Kman says:

    Dont update to 2.0 until its confirmed. because there is posible chance of getting it to work on 1.52.

  175. chris says:

    you have to save the eboot in the update folder hten from your psp go to the game spot and you should see it there. then all you have to do is select it.

  176. Deathking says:

    there is no “update” folder

  177. chris says:

    you have to make a update folder in the game folder

  178. chris says:

    just make a folder and name it update in the game folder

  179. Deathking says:

    so is there to folders in the game folder or just one? i made a folder to put the eboot in there

  180. branden says:

    yes my bad, i left out the fact u have to make a folder inside the game folder

  181. branden says:

    1 folder it should look like this

    psp
    \/
    game
    \/
    update
    \/
    EBOOT

  182. Deathking says:

    maybe its a messed up eboot

  183. Deathking says:

    yep did it …didnt work hmmm

  184. chris says:

    #190 nice way to show how to do it.

  185. boy says:

    they should come with something that makes the psp music louder

  186. Deathking says:

    haha i didnt name the folder..i just made one i didnt think it matter

  187. boy says:

    i cant hear nothin

  188. chris says:

    if you psp has a model number PSP-1001 it will not work.

  189. chris says:

    sorry it will only work if you HAVE the model number PSP-1001 my bad.

  190. branden says:

    yes they should make it louder, i plug mine into speakers, and thanks i try my best to show how to do things ;)

  191. boy says:

    i cant wait for homebrew to run on 2.0

  192. branden says:

    any1 with questions and whatnot about psp or even about computers
    IM me, my sn is BRAEKDOWN

  193. RaiderX says:

    There is a 4th type of user, PEOPLE WHO ARENT TOO PUSSY TO JOIN OUR FORUMS!! Then a 5th is NOOBS WHO JOINT FORUM AND SPAM!! JOJN THE FOUMS AND HAVE FUN THERE!!!

  194. branden says:

    y u gotta be so negitive man, maybe were already signed up
    maybe we dont want to
    what does it matter to u
    how does it affect u

  195. chris says:

    #202 who realy care’s.

  196. poutsaras says:

    this work on psp 1004 euro???

  197. boy says:

    i wish we could play that radio thing on 2.0

  198. poe says:

    and i thought this community had some very smart people participating, yet all i see is dumb ass questions like “should i upgrade to 2.0?” and “how does this work?, i wanna run homebrew on my 2.0″. get a fucking hint, THIS EXPLOIT IS BRAND NEW, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RUN H/B ON YOUR 2.0 YET, TOUGH SHIT. focus on your homework an maby someday someone will fufill your dreams of h/b on your upgraded psp. effin kids =\

  199. vn says:

    why does the upgrade to 2.0 work in the game folder? can hackers make programs like that except emulators instead of upgrade programs

  200. Laiho says:

    AAAH e TAAAALLL!!!!!

  201. Randomguy says:

    #209, should i upgrade my 1.5 to 2.0?

  202. u cant kno says:

    im on my psp now LOL

  203. branden says:

    y do all u guys have to be negitive, let people ask their questions, how does it effect u

  204. indentsk8 says:

    Dude i sold my psp and 3 games for a 1.50 got 28 games, when this program is coded right we will be able to get homebrew, fastloaders and whatever sony put out

  205. PSPHACKA says:

    DUDE THE #209 Their not hackers they just surf the web and bumb into “”www.psp-hacks.com the best place to get the neweist info and programing”" and type all this fucked up bullshit and some people are doing this on purpose those fuck faces

  206. evolution says:

    working like it supposed to be (brown screen and freezes) on my Japanese PSP 2.00. Great start to new homebrew… looking forward to playing tetris on my PSP without Java -_-

  207. wabwhatabunchofassholes says:

    great job. I cant believe there’s plenty of idiots saying “it doesnt work. version is still the same” or “how can i play a game off my memory stick”

  208. F9zDark says:

    Funny how 2.0 got exploited before WAB ever released their downgrader. Beaten again it looks like…

    That aside, I’d like to know how to write the code into the PNG image and see what happens.

    If it can run code, then certainly it may be able to run a simple Hello World program.

    Wish there was more information on it.

  209. Some Dude says:

    Well, if it skips the VRam RA through buffer overrun, then we still needs to have something else there for it to point to in order to execute usable code.

    Right now it just points to a color and no refreshes so it’s just ochre…

    The trick now is how do we put code in the tiff file that the PSP can recognize and then point to some other program that’ll execute real code.

    Something will probably come from this in less than a week, then in 2-3 after that (hopefully) 2.0 execution encryption key can be found, and 2.0 cracked.

    We’ll see…

  210. .... says:

    IT LOOKS LIKE ITS ONLY WORKIN ON THE (EUR) PSP NOT THE (US) OR THE (JAP) ISNT THAT RIGHT PLZ REPLY ME

    CUZ I HAVE A (JAP) PSP & IT DIDNT WORK ON IT THE SCREEN JUST TURNED BROWN!!!!!!!!

  211. BOB says:

    Well i have a EUR 2.0 PSP and my screen is also brown.
    We just have to wait for somone to develop apps that will work for it.

    Does anyone know of any apps that already work with it??

  212. Thank god 2.00 has been cracked! But now sony will release 2.50 or somthing and we will have to start all over again!

  213. Yoshihiro Taco Bell? says:

    WOW!!! Just WOW!!!! Look at some of the comments made LOL!!!! If you don’t understand programming or any aspect of this then just sit back and wait and stop posting Garbation. When someone makes usable apps from this then you can post OMG OMG TEH PSPHACKS IZ DUH ROXXORZ!!!!!ONEONE!!ELEVEN and all that crap. Until then you will have to wait.

  214. Who knows how to write the code for this exploit so i can start working on it
    proffesinal proggramer

  215. nobody says:

    #222 Screen turning brown means WORKING!

  216. noob says:

    could anyone tell me how to make it working, what have i to do with this to files?
    a step by step comment would be the best
    thank you

  217. rtech says:

    some kid on the net said he’s now found a way to get homebrew to work on 1.52 version. he’s got a video showing it. but if it’s true what im hearing about 2.0 which im sure it is based on most of the comments. imma upgrade to 2.0 when it can run homebrew for sure, until then im sticking with 1.52 (or being in limbo as i like to). call it.

  218. noob says:

    do i have to take the overflow.tif also as background or what do do with it?

  219. SpazTheGreat says:

    #228, just read what the article says. It tells you, step by step, what to do.

  220. iwannadowngrade says:

    my screen also turned brown but after like 15 seconds my psp turns of is this normal??

  221. ABC says:

    Just a little offtopic question, didn’t know where else to ask this.
    Is it ok to update a EUR psp with a JAP update 2.0?

    Just need to know, not saying that I’m going to do it right away so save me the “DON’T UPGRADE” reply.

  222. AtroxSanguis says:

    Works fine on my EU 1004 PSP with firmware 2.00.

  223. Vanq551 says:

    hey, id just like to say i have the eu 1004 psp and everything works for me, well done psp-hacks.com!

  224. rtech says:

    viva la psp-hacks revolution!

  225. scar128 says:

    pepole this no downgrader and it works i tried it it is kinda slow but it is better than nothing
    am i right of wrong??

  226. opium says:

    horrrrrrray this is a huge step right here

  227. Someone says:

    Now we just need to wait for the coders to finish up what was started.

  228. Randomguy says:

    UPDATING FROM 1.5 TO 2.0!!!

  229. junkmonkey says:

    the creators of this exploit have now been able to run a non-encrypted .bin file that is less than 64K. THAT IS THE BEST NEWS EVER! pspupdates is posting the story.

  230. 2Pac says:

    dudes chill out. just wait until they bring out REAL shit.

  231. chris says:

    don’t update from 1.50 to 2.0

  232. psper222 says:

    allright i have a us 1001 psp that has JAP 2.00 firmware. Im pretty sure it worked on mine (bottom half of psp turned brown and psp froze) that is what was supposed to happen right?

  233. NRG says:

    242 how do you know that??

  234. chris says:

    #245 The brown screen is supposed to happen. Then after 15 sec. your psp is supposed to shut off.

  235. coolguy says:

    I just upgraded my 1.50 psp t0 2.00, applied te hack, but all it does is make my screen turn brown, so I took the 1.50 psp of my brother and tried it on there awsell, but no luck…

  236. TBOX says:

    ok can some one tell me what HOMEBREW can we use i have tryed snes9xTYL-0.2c + PSPacman by PSPeerless v1.0 + UMD_Emulator_V0.8C and no luck plz help

  237. :)HelloMoto says:

    #248 SAme to ME! it doesnt work :’(!!

  238. AtroxSanguis says:

    Um, only with the image you can use “no” homebrew progz for now. You’ll have to wait untill some nice coders will optimise progz for using with the firmware 2.0 exploit. Now you can only test these color changes, like this one in brown an the other *.tif from pspupdates in blue. It only shows that it will work! Wait a few days or weeks ^^

  239. branden says:

    how many times must it be said, the screen is SUPPOSED TO TURN BROWN!!!

  240. schrambo says:

    tried this with AU PSP with an official v2.0 firmware. worked right on the money. Top stuff.

  241. BetaSword says:

    Umm… Why does this say that psp-hacks.com had this first… considering I saw two different articles about this on pspupdates.com long before psp-hacks had it up… Hrmm…

  242. NRG says:

    Works, only i was scared as hell to brick my psp, don’t know why

  243. Psp-Szene says:

    Awesome find and great news. I guess it will be only a matter of days now until some usable bootloader shows up. Got my Euro PSP with 1.52 preinstalled, so never had a chance to try homebrew yet. Good to know there’s still a way around 2.0′s security.

  244. .... says:

    so what shall i do after the screen turns brown & the psp shut off

    i mean what to do next!!!

    can any one give us a tortural with pics????

  245. AtroxSanguis says:

    @ 258….
    read the comments and the instruction. There is no emu or something like that there YET! Why doe these ppl always skip the instructions and the comments… DOH!

  246. JiggaJuice says:

    Just to know that we are 1/4th of a way to getting homebrew on our 2.0 is quite exciting. Aside from having games on it, u will have more shit on it, the internet browser, the ISO’s joints lol, and saving UMD games, all in ONE..question is wen will the 2.0 BE ACTUALLY HACKED? it could happen tonight, as we’re speaking, tomorrow…who knows? But when it comes out, i know imma give big Props to PSP-Hacks.com!

  247. .... says:

    well u mf no(259) good shot but we left bein a geek only 4 u ok so plz do not humiulate ur self on line ok ass h0le

  248. AtroxSanguis says:

    @ 261 Congrats for losing you’re brain. We can talk if you can talk like an adult and not like an 12 year old kid

  249. stee says:

    225# Yoshihiro

    no need to be like that

  250. kk says:

    No disrespect but people who cant follow simple instructions and get it working wont have homebrew on their psps. Because this exploit requires common sense. Which rules a lot of noobs out. If you cant get it to work, dont bitch, cos noone else is having problems.

  251. boab says:

    mines a 1.5 lol

  252. boab says:

    works on it to

  253. oliope says:

    salut tout le monde si kelkun pouvai m aider a m expliquer comment installer les fichiers dans ma psp ca le ferait grave merci d avance

    its not much BUT ITS A START!! ^_^

  255. exira says:

    finaly, something to stop all the noobs from complaining about a downgrader

  256. Shrink says:

    Thank you (who ever wrote this code)! I’m sitn on fire waiting for some stuff to launch the psp games from Memory Stick (the copies from my bought games of course). This is great news. I’m so glad there are some serious guys out there hacking shit out of the PSP 2.0

  257. Shrink says:

    Hi. Today I downloaded a File that says to contain a PSP downgrader by WAB. You can get it in the edonkey network. The filename is: “unofficial WAB psp downgrade 1.52 and 2.0 to 1.50.rar” It contains a EBOOT.PBP file. The password was easy to find out for me. It is “wab”. Anyone who wants to try it: Please tell me if it worked. Thank you!

    P.S.: The filesize is 13,4 MB

  258. ryu says:

    its not working …well at least here

  259. Itaintrite says:

    Man…I really hate people who post stuff then expect others to test it for them. Hey, why don’t you just go do it yourself and tell everybody else. You think your PSP worths more than others’? You think other people wouldn’t mind if their PSPs were bricked? One of these days, somebody will tell you something works, and you’ll find out the hard way that it doesn’t.

    Anyway, back to topic, it’s pretty exciting to see the scene this active again :) I have a 1.5 but I’ll def update! Just a matter of time heh.

  260. I Like it says:

    I really like sausages so im gonna make a homebrew game about it for v 2.00 psps. if any1 has ideas send them 2 gav_inda_house@hotmail.com
    lookin forward to reading em. The sausage revolution is about to begin

  261. king says:

    if it is right i will buy a psp thanks so much

  262. Bob says:

    After Brown .. Can i Delete the File .tif

  263. Shrink says:

    There seems to be made another success:
    http://pspcaliber.toc2rta.com/

    But don’t try it. And tell nobody if it worked … Haha…

  264. sword stalker says:

    ive got the brown screen with things that look like chips but each time i go to photos i get that screen and i cant do anything. so if u know what to do after that pls tell me my email adress is nipun_marwaha@hotmail.com

  265. sword stalker says:

    help meeeeee

  266. lol internet says:

    #246
    wtf, why did you upgrade your 1.50 psps which support executing unsigned code from memory stick.

    LOL FAILURE

  267. Shrink says:

    http://www.1122studios.com/

    A Downgrader is said to be made and downloadable on that page

  268. joeontherun says:

    I just checked that link the file seems to download perfectly even though they claim its only going to be availible on the 29th?

    “This will only be available September 29, 2005.”

  269. Dexorcist says:

    - Need Help Guys –
    Q. can anyoen tell me if the homebrew works on the new white psp.

    Cheers Dexorcist

  270. chris says:

    whoever says dont update is a idiot, psp is for PSP Games, sure homebrew kicks ass but if i gotta choose i will keep with the updates otherwise newer games wont run!! i want to play GTA:Liberty stories more then LOZ:LTTP on a snes emu right?? well i can see sony making the new GTA 2.0 + only to force people onto there firmware

  271. Jonny says:

    We are te on who spen $250 to buy the thing, My PSP is my PSP and sony needs to stop being so damn greedy. I hope we figure out how to hack 2.0. We should be able to do whatever the fuck we want with them wthout having o worry about the Upgrading heir games to onl accept their newes firmware….I hope Microsoft kicks the shit out of tjhem in the next gen console world so they will realize what true busness is.

  272. the bassman says:

    if u downgrade will u still have 2.00 features like browser???

  273. No_oB2006 says:

    Big -NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  274. luminaire says:

    Sony is coming out with a white psp in march! Only in North America though, do everyone else will have to fly here and buy one.

    Anyways, I can see we have made a huge step in unlocking the key to 2.0, although it may take some time. The techs at my site are working on a more comprehensive game for 2.0, and a downgrader. Feel free to check out my site, although someone else will probably come out with a downgrader before us. If you want to see the first 2.0 game, click the link.

    Never got the jist of what’s different between 1.5 and 2.0 Not that I don’t want to try it out. Just afraid I’ll mess things up and end up losing all this cool homebrew capabilities :-S . I’ll be patient and wait for it though. Because if it weren’t for all these people making it possible, and their time and detication, I’d have a boring ole PSP :P…lol. Keep up the good work people :D

    to all you folks suggesting that this is precursor to a downgrader, you should LEARN TO READ

    LEARN TO READ
    LEARN TO READ
    LEARN TO READ

    i cant say it enough

    if you had read some of the other posts or looked in the downloads section u would see that there are downgraders for 1.50 -> 1.00, as well as
    2.00 -> 1.50, and of course 2.60 -> 1.50

    so for the record as long as you dont update above 2.60 you can always go back down to what ever u want just by going back and then going forward
