2.0 Firmware Dumper
greg | September 25, 2005
A firmware dumper for 2.0 has been released! This works in the same manner as the previous 2.0 exploit [homebrew] demonstrations.
How to use:
- Place ‘h.bin’ in the root of your memory stick – i.e.) x:\h.bin
- Set wallpaper to frame_buffer.png (without overflow.tif present in the PHOTO directory, or it will crash).
- Add overflow.tif to the PHOTO directory, and open into the photo
- Watch the firmware dump to your memory stick!

PLZ GODS OF THE PSP HACKS… WE ARE WAITING FOR UR HOMEBREWS THAT ACTUALLY LET US EMULATE……
P.S. KEEP GOING… YOU GUYS ROCK
it shows the possibilitys thats all!
this is so cool
Please check your facts. Afiser didn’t release the firmware dumper. The original with sources is available at
http://sunkone.cjb.net/psp/
Yes keep going you all are on a roll!!! Bring on the homebrew!!!!
all i want is a firmware changer then i can run death jr. and 1.50 here i come.
yayayyayyayay damn you guys are the shit…. DONATE BUTTON WHERE IS IT??
oh hell yeh, this is brill, so many are being released now, woooo!
AWESOME!!!!! How big is the firmware about?
I bet the next homebrew fr 2.0 is gonna be able to change the theme backgrounds like pspersonalize!!
ya know someone after the homebrew comes out should make all the features of 2.0 for 1.5
yes now comeon bring out the homebrew!!!
why? EVERY could update to 2.0…enjoy the features…..AND PLAY HOMEBREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! Yes! our way to a homebrew is CLOSER THAN EVER!
what does this do????
help! whats the point of this?
whats the point of this
#9, just download PSPset and you can trick the PSP into thinking it’s a 1.52 or whatever
OK for all you who do not know what is going on its just showing you that 2.0 has been hacked and that homebrew os on the way!!!!
What’s with these flash 0-1 folders?
we download one of the previos “updats” to get the pics to put it in our photo albums? cuz when i downloaded the dump, it onli has the h.bin file??
ya i agree wuth #21 what are they for anyways?
yeah all these numbers???? wat is it actually downloadin???
Thats firmware 2.0 dump.. Coders are going to start using that to disect 2.0 Firmware.. :) homebrew for 2.0 and 1.5 acting like a 2.0 :) win win situation
Ohh ok thas cool..umm that sucked out 23 MB’s! do i now delete it or what?
#10, the donation belongs not to psp hacks. but to the developers of this product or idea of exploit.
how much should it take for a homebrew by now??
how much space is required for this dump
Ok but i still dont get it!!!!
WAIT!……cant we read the dump…then look for EXCALLY wat the psp needs to boot the EBOOT files?
*** i mean look in the dump for sonys thing to load EBOOT’s***
if you could convert smc files to .bin then you could get snes games on 2.0
calm down homebrew can not happen over night you know!!
http://files.pspupdates.qj.net/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,1,0,0,24,1389 LOOK THIS!
i no
*** CAN U ANSWER # 31 ??? ****
i just cant find a converter
after its downloaded do i delete it? please tell me i need help
YEAH! Go go asm coders! Like #31 said, cant some supergood asm coders dissasemble this and find out how to use the mem stick games function?
Wont be long!!!
do the flickerin letters ever stop? cause i’ve been waitin here for a while
shouldnt it be the other way around ?
instead of downloading 2.0 … uploading 1.5 ;)
mine says done but now its frozen can i turn my psp off
to #40 NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! what the FUCK is the point of losing all the good features of 2.0 when Homebrew on 2.0 is nearly hacked?
it takes a while but mine is done :D
#32 just download from this link: http://www.psp-hacks.com/downloads/PSPbrew_051.zip and you might be able to convert them! MAYBE!!
i don’t get it. im not so trained in this… i only whant to know if it will take weeks or day for a homwbrew
what now after we d/l the firmware?? delete?
imwriting this on my psp u guys arethe best
#44…thanks…im gonna go try it so ill be back
how about using that 64kb of space to pummel the security into running unsigned code? then, it’s all a matter of making a new version of kexploit for 2.0 users and running games from the photo directory. photos… who’d a thunk it…
#49, nah, theres somthin about not being able to access something else through this way so it cant be done like that. Now, i predict that this was good for the FW dump, and some geniuses are going to stay up all day and all night drinking coffee untill they get the dump to tell them the secret code for running progs from mem stick properly.
WOW THIS IS COOL. should i update my psp 1.5 to 2.0!?!?!?!? i’m looking for the update file now!!!
Can someone post 2.00 dumped in this way? It might be good for developers to look at to find other exploits and help progress homebrew.
dont update yet noobs!! wait for some decent version! lammes!
#51 DONT!!!! nothing is TOTALLY 100% DONE!!
can i delete after its done
now that im done dumping 2.0 whats do i do next?
what will come first a downgrader or a homebrew for 2.0
I cant run these h.bin files. are they a converted eboot file? like how to create a .bin file?
anyone even MENTIONING the word DOWNGRADER – READ #42!!
downgrader we are trying to get or is it just homebrew?
COULD ANYONE WHO HAS DUMPED THE FILES PLEASE EMAIL THEM TO ME???
~Cris
somebody shoot those japs from sony for making me upgrade my psp to 2.0
You are all a bunch of noobs. What this does is copies all of the files from the PSP’s firmware onto the memory stick so that it could be looked at, and possibly used to do other stuff. So unless you plan on doing something useful with it, there is no reason to use this.
MAN I SO AM GOING TO UPGRADE TO 2.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what is your e-mail #61?
dont upgrade yet
Do you think theyl release any more 2.00 updates tonite?
probably around 6 or 7 o clock #67
or if not when?
CANT W8 TIL HOMEBREW!!!
#69 noone wants to wait either but sometimes we all have to!
DAMMIT! i live in da UK, I’ll be in bed then (work in da mornin)
anyone know wot da next update wil be?
PSP2.0Dump@gmail.com
Thanks
~Cris
#71 is it nice in the UK or is it suck (like here.)
Theres a sony update coming out
thanks chris it might be tomorrow before i can get it to you because of how long it is!
Yeah, IM 100% sure we will all b playin super mario and mortal kombat rite now by next week =P but do we leave the items in our psp???
When RUning the DUMP…will it ever stop …cause it added flash files to my psp
Thanks justin,
~Cris
Cant u run the 2.00 dump on umd emulator
bitchen those games are so much better than these high tech ones #78
pretty much sucks, alot more than da good old USA. u get all da releases 4 everything first (apart from japan) aaaaaaaand u got v1.5 for psp, uk got 1.52 on all psps rite from da beginnin. DAMN SONY!
But its alrite, betta den most countries
(dat last comment was 4 no 72 btw)
will someone also email the dump to me tiggerbear200@yahoo.com
i was asking if there was cause someone said something i just forgot the question mark
or saikaidess@aol.com thanks a bunch
someone answer 80,s question
so is there a update coming out?
well goodnite from the uk
come one man. can some one can tell me how much it will take for a homebrew?
arghh will u do it already
thats it im switching me and my little cousins psp he has version 1.5
im tired of waiting for 2.0 to be able to run homebrew
who knows?(besides sony)
What does this 2.0 dump thing do exactly? im running version 2.0. Im new to this site, some hook a brother up??
“if you could convert smc files to .bin then you could get snes games on 2.0
Comment by hackster — September 25, 2005 @ 4:39 pm”
To #32:
No! I mena, maybe you could convert them, but for one thing, there is no possible INPUT for controls yet. Also, I dont know of any SNES roms smaller than 64KB and this exploit wont laod anythign bigger than that.
2.0 dump only copies the version of your psp and puts it on the memory stick
I have a 2.0 on m PSP…the hacked homebrew will coming for that?
Whats the story with emulating this on UMD Emulator?
hi im new so wats going on i bought a version 2.0 and its gr8
im 100
ok here is the summary for all you noobs. What this does is copy all of the system files for the 2.0 firmware, which are not accessable without sonys permission,to the memory stick so that when you reconnect your psp and look in your memory stick folder, the system files will be in there. most of the people here aren’t capable of using the files for anything, but some people can use them o make a program capable of running homebrew on 2.0. and the answer to number 80, no because the umd emulator won’t run on 2.0. good idea though.
hi sry im a noob and i just want to know how to run homebrew on 2.0 without damageing my psp
release:2.00:
build:725,0,3,1,0:root@psp-vsh
system:26084@release_200,0×02000010:
vsh:p4705@release_200,v15867@release_200,20050726:
target:1:WorldWide
working :)
can we delete the program after its done downloading???
ive never been on a forum
#103 what do you mean by that?
some one emial me stuff about psp things at dragnz12@sbcglobal.net
the only thing i know how to do is control my pc using the wlan on the psp
I mean the exploit is working
I mean I use it on my psp and u can see the content of a version file in the firmware in my psp
It’s an european one, upgrade to version 2.0 the september, 1
when is the new gta coming out sry off subject
#95..it would be a start…of course you would have to set input controls…but you could easly convert size….no problem…
@110 go to gamespot.com
i did its not there just tell me
wow, i downloaded a 2.00 Firmware dump and I want that gameboot.pmf that comes with 2.00. But when I emulate it with UMDEmulator, it doesn’t work, but the other pmf’s do work…
AHHHHH! I JUST UPDATED TO 2.0, NOW CANT RUN GAMES!!!
IS THERE A WAY TO UNDO THE UPGRADE?
No RanMan, you’re stuck with 2.00. You shouldn’t have upgraded hahahahaha.
Yeah take it to ebgames and change it for a refurnish one they still have 1.50
#115 wat are u talkin about
okay i am going right now to store to exchange it!!!
right now? On a sunday 6pm?
ahhh damn your right!!!!!!!!! i am now screwed!!!!!!!! until monday.
#120 if you look at his name you can see he is not for real
#124 your right i didnt see his name good call
where do u find the frame_buffer.png and overflow.tif files?
yes, where are these 2 files? I’ve just downloaded da dump, and there was only da H.bin
And I copied it to my PSP memorystick… but… I need the other 2 files.
get them from hello world 2.0
For all People who are worried about turning there PSP’s off,
All you do , is push the Power switch UP & keep it there & the PSP will Turn Off after say about 5-10 Sec’s……
Well Done to the Hackers & Coders for your Great Skills in getting past Firmware 2.0!!!
I have 1.5 cant wait to go BACK to 2.0 and keep my homebrews
is there any homebrew for 2.0 plz i need some homebrew.
can u delete it once it has finished or do u have to keep it on the memory stick?
ok 2 things
can someone email the dump to atomic16@gmail.com
and 2 who got homebrew on 2.0 show proff plz
atomic i dont think there is any homebrew for 2.0. my friend steven gave me 2.0 he didnt tell me i couldnt get homebrew
you can delete it.
i jus ran the dump, it finished, then i turned my psp off n then back on n now it says i have 27mb left instead of -mb, has the dump worked? the flash file is oshowing when i connect to my pc n can view the files
if anyone knows how to downgrade psp from 2.0 to 1.5 tell me or email me at keithcoltsfan@yahoo.com
or if anyone knows how to get homebrew on 2.0 tell me PLZ!!!
# 138 u have to b patient cause there is no downgrader or homebrew for 2.0………yet
Anyone know what to do with the dumped bin file?
SHUP UP EVERYBODY!!
to all n00bz: This dump is NOT a way to play homebrew OR to downgrade. if you dont know anything about it DONT DOWNLOAD IT!!! this dump is for hackers (like me) to exploit firmware 2.00 and make a PBP loader.(hopefully)
BTW good work all who came up with this trick/exploit. i suspect that homebrew is not longer the about 1 month away.
SO ALL YOU n00bz STOP ASKING QUESTIONS, like “so can i play homebrew yet?” or “now how do i downgrade?”
ty
how long does it take to dump?
ok well could you plz explain wat the dump does and wat the hacking does….it sounds fun.thx.
and if anyone really wants 1.5 i suggest dropping your psp in a puddle then taking it to walmart they only see if it turns on the they give you a new one
you cant do that anymore, sony put out 1.51 and higher psp’s so when u buy it, u have a chance of buying a 1.51 or higher
i cant belive sony tricked me into udateing.
#141 if only that were in BOLD letters at the start of all comments lol
Can anyone teach me here how to create a PBP file or like a program for PSP. I can exchange you something cool for that or i can make a website for you for free only if u teach me. my AIM is pacificooler0819 and my e-mail is vze4z7nx@verizon.net
AND is anyone is willing tot each me how to hack into pcs you would be welcome
PLEASE TEACH ME AND OTHER PEOPLE SO THAT we can make homebrew for ver. 2.0 be reality faster.
well if homebrew v2.0 is ever made someone im me or email me on yahoo at keithcoltsfan…
top work all involved :)
#148 lol im sure homebrew on v2.0 will be old news by the time you learn to hack
can someone post the dump on this website or another that isnt rapid share
#148, i’m not gonna flame you, but nobody knows how too make homebrew for 2.0 yet. we don’t even know how it works. Also, this is not the place to ask people how to make homebrew. this is for comments on the 2.0 dump. but, i do have a question for you, do you know c++ or pascal? because i you don’t, you’ll need to know those first to understand anything about psp programing.
ok
#143 The dump dosent “do” anything to you PSP. it just takes all the flash data and the BIOS of the PSP and dumps it on the Memory card BTW to all of you who know about programming, this dump DOES also copy the KERNAL data. look in flash1.#143 what do you mean by “what the hacking does?” Basically, what “hackers” or “programmers” do is study the data from the dump to find what you would call a “loophole” once found,(there is ALWAYS atleast one) that “loophole” can be exploited to make homebrew possible on the firmware.
is it me or has downloadin this program made my psp a lil slower..i think its me but i deleted the h.bin folder and the overflow and all..do i delete the flash??
its you
how about a torrent of the dumped firmware possibly???maybe????
Ok I am a noob but to all of the other noobs out there. If you read the posts’ above you will find out that there are no homebrews for the 2.0, and you can not downgrade it so quit making all us other noobs look like fools. JUST READ ALL THE POST. Good luck on Hacking the code.
Could someone e-mail me the dump OVERNITE@GMAIL.COM I know asm…
#154 and #158, you guys are why i still like this site. people like you are good for the world for explaining to these utter and complete morons what this is for. all of you dumbasses should be thankful for these guys.
and afiser, i like your sense of humor!
i just had an idea. ALL YOU MORONS THAT WANT “HOMEBREW” AKA PIRATED GAMES JUST WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING IS RELEASED THAT ACTUALLY DOES IT. asking for something that doesn’t exist doesnt make it magically appear for you. when something is out you’ll know, until then shut the fuck up. please.
#152, I see your point, but how do I downgrade so I can play homebrew. This firmware dumper game sucks. :P
I’m little disapointment with the limbs, morons and stid questions and comments of some people from this site. I’m really noob, i’ve got my first psp 4 days ago, and if there is something i really know is: WAITING FOR GOOD NEWS, R E A D the news comments about the informations.
Resuming “RTFM!” come on guys, stop asking about the damn downgrader, so stop too asking about homebrews, it’s not for all of yours, but anyone here can be a little patient? Hell yeah thats a great progress, but i NEVER READ in the lasted news about the possibility to downgrade the fw, so stop asking for!
for god sake.. and sorry for this, i belive someone is mature here..
I am amazed at the level of stupidity of most the people who posted comments here expecting a firmware dumper to be useful for them.
Unless you can program in assembly language and are capable of creating your own homebrew loader for the PSP, it’s not going to do you a hell of a lot of good to run this.
does this mean that the MPH will be able to use this dump and 1.5 will b able to use 2.0’s functions and play homebrew. this is ofcourse just temporary as soon we will have an actualy exploit or 2.0^^
If you try to copy an older firmware vesion to the flash by reversing the dumper, would it work?
thanks # 171 , that is so cool that it acually works while being off line howw cool, everyone, you should try it, its koolz!!!!!!!!!!!
no problemo
good work to everyone who has gotten this far. Now we just need to wait for the people who know what there doing to make it all work.
If you dont know how to use it dont ask and when theres homebrew or a downgraded(yeah right) psphacks will know
WAIT
i dont understand this thing WHAT DOES IT REALLY DO ???
Hey i got a 1.52 HACK WORKING!!! add me on msn if you want prood pkman2k@hotmail.com

#175 read post #154 by me.
#160 thank you
#177 GET A LIFE
#174 i agree with you completly
we programmars dont HAVE to relese and can kepp all our works to ourself, but we still give out stuff.im starting to
wonder why…
#168 NO. the kernal.dat external file of the 2.00 does
not support ver. 1.5
#164 ……….
need i say more?
