Setting the Record Straight

greg | September 29, 2005

As many of you are aware there’s been some beef between a few people in the scene - namely MPH, SonyXteam and toc2rta. We all know MPH is responsible for providing the world with a working [2.0 -> 1.50] downgrader using the exploit discovered by toc2rta, something Yoshihiro - now SonyXteam - was unable to pull off, yet continued to take credit for aiding in the development.

MPH has stated he is not a member of SonyXteam and they had nothing to do with the downgrader except provide a few test results. You can read this for yourself over at the psphacks.net forums. Also feel free to donate to MPH for this wonderful accomplishment.

You can also read toc2rta’s response to SonyXteam’s claims and accusations.

So, to set the record straight - toc2rta is the shit for discovering the 2.0 exploit and MPH is the shit for providing a full functional working downgrader. Nothing more - nothing less.

Head over to psp-spot for additional details & quotes on this story.

Now, let’s all just get along.

Can someone make a java applet of Yoshithiro’s face so we can draw/mutulate/stretch that fuckhead’s face? I think that would be THE java applet of the year

it was a team effort by mph and the toc2rta team and everybody who was involved with testing.. i guess yoshi helped a little but it dont really matter.. the downgrader is out now and everybody is happy

well all helped in some way.. some how..

Fuck Yoshi, he is just is a stupid whiney little shit.

He contributed nothing to the community with ‘his’ downgrader. Where was WAB with their ISO Loader? Yeah thats right, someone else had to finish that too.

And what of their downgrader? Shit, once again WAB failed. All talk, no action, which is typical of the French.

Go suck a dick Yoshi, you stupid prick.

What a load of crap. It was a combintation of all the parties mentioned wasn’t it. Tell me if I am wrong or right. First off the program is using the WAB version changer. So the credit for that part goes to Yoshihiro and AloneTrio for he developement of the firmware version changer. Then you have toc2rta who discovered the exploit in the first place. Then you have MPH who put it all together and got the code to run using the exploit while making sure the downgrade went all the way through. So I figure it was all three and they are all squabling for the credit. Alpha testing a product and assuming the risk to confirm that it works also counts as helping. So no matter what anyone says I believe it was a combination of all three parties. They can all assume what ever part of the creditthey want. Maybe they are all affraid of who will get donations. Al in all it doesn’t matter b/c it is released now and they should stop fighting and get together to develope more apps and homebrew instead of fighting. Also they should be thinking of other exploits now b/c Sony will make 2.1 pronto and that will have its own problems. Well if I am wrong then whatever but thats how I see it and I have watched the progression for a couple months now. But on a positive side note

WOOT MUTHA Fin WOOT!!!! Welcome to homebrew!!!!

its all good that the downgrader was made, but i miss my 2.00. the 1.50 is just too plain, i’m gonna upgrade back to 2.00 and wait for homebrews for it.

I don’t really care who thinks he/she/they should have all the cred… a thing like this is always a joint effort… like no invention is ever really “new”.

Creds to the guy who discovered the first buffert overflow bug, creds to whomever made the TIFF format the way it is… Creds to Sony for forgetting to check for overflow bugs in the PSPs handling of .tif images. Creds to wab for the version changer (a similar process is obviously used here), creds to toc2rta for finding the exploit (but if it wasn’t them, it WAS going to be someone else, this is no revolutionary “new” kind of bug)… and FINALLY, creds to to MPH for putting this working package together. Nothing more, nothing less. Fuck… I’ll even give Yoshi a bit of cred for being a drama queen and whiner (a pretty funny one, from time to time)! An finally… creds to all the people I forgot. Damn, I’m feeling generous today.

I love all of you guys. :P

#9,
It doesn’t matter what firmware version you put on your psp, it is an entire flash anyways. The only difference you’d find between the JAP and the USA firmwares in 1.5 is Button Config (X –> O) and Region Restrictions for movies. So if you want to play those JAP UMD pornos, I recommend the JAP 1.5! hahaha!

Right #13 has a brain in his head. It was a combo of all the software from all the parties mentioned. Enough of the flaming. MPH was not even saying “FUCK YOSHIHIRO” or anything like that. In fact he actually thanked him. This is a stupid argument. They all get credit becuase they all had a part.

Yoshi is such a fag. WTF is he thinking. And acording to alonetrio he is just a big fake that just takes the coding from other apps and adds his name to them. *cough wab changer cough cough*

Yoshihiro is a moron nad a stealer.
The only thing he know to do is to steal open source code and releasing it under his name without respecting the copyright of original authors.

#26: The point is… they’re all ’stealers’, since none of the tricks they built the downgrader on are really new. It’s just a useful remix of old ideas, some as old as the hacking community itself. Hacking basically IS stealing, since you are always basing your ‘new’ discoveries on old theories and facts. Yoshihiro is just a bit more clumsy about the ’stealing’ part then the rest. And they way he seems to worry about ’street cred’ is just ridiculous. :/

Wow. Some of you people are really lame. Who cares?
OoooooooH! I feel so techno-savvy for hacking my portable video game system, and now I’m gonna engage in a lame flame crusade against someone who was trying to beat some other “team” to the dork-video-game-hero crown.

So yeah… My Genesis kicks the shit out of your Super Nintendo, and you sorry fuckers need to stop giving a shit about such unimportant nonsense.

Enjoy your hacked PSP. STFU.

I tried the new MPH firmware downgrader on my psp. I add the overflow file to the photo directory and the h.bin and index.dat files to the root but all mine does is freezes for about 10 seconds and then shuts off. Is there something I’m doing wrong here?

I dont get why someone wont just make an update that allows people to use homebrew along with other features they want, that would be way better
