PSPRadio v0.2 and PSP firmware 2.0 .bin launcher

Gary13579 | September 24, 2005

With all this 2.0 stuff going on right now, I don’t think many people relized there is a new version of this awesome program (I for one didn’t see it).
Raf writes

Hey, everyone,

-Corrected problem where the app froze when exiting while paused/stopped.
(was caused because threads where suspended/asleep)
-Now can play lower samplerate streams (22K, 11K, etc) let me know well this works, since I only tried it with one at 22KHz.
-Integrated socket header files from NetBSD.
-Socket recv and send timeout set to 3 seconds.
-Corrected problems with httpget that would cause the decoding thread to freeze if the connection failed.
-Preliminary playlist support (version 1). Use the shoulder buttons L (prev) and R (next) to navigate the list.
** This is still work in progress ** Don’t expect this version to be perfect, it’s just an enhanced 0.1 **
-Please direct comments and suggestions to http://rafpsp.blogspot.com/

Thanks everyone!

Raf.

Download there here.

Another breakthrough in the 2.0 cracking, they have gotten a .bin file to execute. This isn’t the same as the last post, trust me ;)
What this .bin file does is turn the screen blue (can’t you just see the applications?).
Put the file h.bin in the root directory of your memory card, and do the rest like the post below this one.
If you do it right, it should turn your screen blue.

Please remember that this is NOT a homebrew launcher. Currently, you CANNOT use this to play games. However, the chances of that happening are looking really good.
Download it here.

can anyone edit the h.bin file not to set the screen blue??? i want some “hello world” code… ’cause it doesn’t do anyting at all… maybe only is a PSP crash screen…

PD: I want text… no colors!!

 
Comment by Someone
2005-09-24 12:14:08

@ 12
thx for your reply

seems cool :-P even you can’t do a thing, i think

but if you save it on your Root MS, will your PSP launch it immediatly or do you have to run it like homebrews?

 
Comment by branden
2005-09-24 12:14:14

it should look like this

removable disk X(x meaning whatever letter that represents the psp)
\/
psp
h.bin
mp_root
(then inside PSP)
\/
into photo
\/
place frame_buffer inside photo, then go to photo and set it as backround, reconnect and go to photo and delete frame_buffer and add OVERFLOW
then disconnect and go to photo and BAM screen should turn a nice comforting shade of blue

2005-09-24 12:18:02

yeah, i hope there will be a shitload of Homebrews tomorrow :-P

so if this is working, what do the hackers have to do? write a Homebrew that’s compatible with that Bin Launcher? or do they still have to crack the other securities?

sry if im dumb( i’m really dumb..got a weird IQ :-P) but it’s not very clearly to me this text

 
Comment by neoryu
2005-09-24 12:18:08

lol…
i want homebrew too…
but the first step is to show some text on screen…
’cause i’m not really sure if changing the color we’re doing something…

baby steps people, give em time, we may see a “hello world” h/b as early as tonight or tomorow, or it may take weeks for a EMU

“why doesn’t someone look up in the MIPS R4000 instruction book the code for printing text to the screen and do it them selves” i says with sarcasm … there is no print to screen code when your dealing with assembly language, so just wait for someone with brains to figure this out

so…whats so breakthrough about being able to paint the screen? Just wondering… is it because we are able to actually launch an app? and also, when they say 2.0 being hacked and stuff, does it apply to 1.51 and 1.52? just wondering =D

nothing, if it turns blue, mission accomplished, now u just wait for an actual program

 
Comment by Necronomikron
2005-09-24 13:30:05

You guys don’t realize the big downside to all of this: It’s time consuming and requires access to a computer.

What it IS useful for is an eventual firmware flasher that will put 1.0 or 1.5 on the machine. What it *is not* useful for is running emus, unless you want to load the program once and lose it whenever you have to turn the PSP off. I suppose you could have it load a shell that can run 1.0 eboots and stick with that… for a while, at least. You would still lose it after it gets turned off…

 
Comment by branden
2005-09-24 13:31:40

dude, it has a standby mode, so unless you completley shut it off or exit, your all set, but i do see where your going with this

 
Comment by Necronomikron
2005-09-24 13:34:50

@56 And if you want to run a UMD or a different program, you’re kinda screwed, unless they come up with a shell. Better hope the battery doesn’t go dead, or it doesn’t lock up or you can’t have any more homebrew until you get it back home to a PC.

2005-09-24 13:35:03

this is great news now we just got to wait for some stable programs which don’t freze the psp up and shut it down

 
Comment by JiggaJuice
2005-09-24 13:39:50

It worked perfectly fine for me…i have no doubts that we will have h/b real soon

 
Comment by Necronomikron
2005-09-24 13:40:08

@58 the nature of the buffer overflow is that once the overflow is done, and the code executed, it shuts the machine down due to the threads not closing. I don’t know if this is intentional or not (in windows, you could usually recover from an overflow), but, it does result in the machine shutting down once the dirty work is done. If a program that loops (most programs that require user input use some sort of looping mechanism) is run, the PSP likely wouldn’t shut down until it’s all said and done.

Comment by enjoi
2005-09-24 13:41:23

I really hope this is going to work out …
But i have some doubts.
Launching 64kb bin code is not the same as launching some 1mb unsigned homebrew.

But it seems they know what they’re doing.
Keep up the good work.

Comment by branden
2005-09-24 14:47:41

k
make sure
u put frame_buffer in the photo and set it as backround
then put the h.bin in the section with the folders PSP and MP_ROOT
and delete frame_buffer out of photo and put in over overflow
and go to photo on your psp and it SHOULD be blue
