Hello World on Firmware 2.01 and 2.50!
greg | December 12, 2005
psp3d are reporting on successfully running unsigned code on firmware versions 2.01 and 2.50 via the hacked save game file for GTA:LCS released by Edison Carter. This is a huge breakthrough for 2.01/2.50 firmware users!
Hello World for 2.01/2.5 PSPs has now been released by Fanjita. Using Edison Carter’s GTA cheat machine, Fanjita has successfully found a way to load custom code on firmwares 2.XX of the PSP, through a savegame exploit/glitch in GTA.
This program he has compiled successfully demonstrates how to run the Hello World homebrew application on 2.01/2.5 PSPs (which prooves external code launching on 2.XX). In the future, expect things such as an EBOOT loader and more soon!
Quoted by Fanjita, “This Hello World demonstrates the proof of concept that this can be used to run applications, and provides an easier platform for other people to work with - not to mention, a platform for me to get the EBOOT loader working on top of.”
Note that you will need a copy of GTA: LCS in order for you to run this hack! So go out and buy your copy today (heh, Sony should be seeing a lot of profits).
For installation steps, check out the readme.
Big ups to Fanjita on this hack, and extended credits to Jim Paris, psp123, EdisonCarter, abu, toc2rta, groepaz and bitmap1 for their contributions. Great job!
Download Hello World for 2.01/2.50!
Thanks to everyone for the emails. And keep up the great work! :)
Now go buy GTA:LCS - it’s the shit anyway!







wow. This is very promising.
yes very! I would expect a downgrader soon. Hopefully one won’t be needed though.
Who cares bout new downgrade. Maybe we will finaly have an opportunity to run ISOs from our memory sticks!
yeah this is good news, Hello world only tho, why post it if there is no real application running on v2.XX
and if we can get a EBOOT running in GTA save file we could some how exploit it like the old overflow.tif so that you dont even need a copy of GTA:LCS to load a save file, there must be a way to something like this in the existing firmware like a hack to exicute the contents of a save file and run under the v2.XX, if it can be done in gave surely it would apply to out of game say in a tamperd EBOOT v2.6 firmware and if we can finally get a compiled custom firmware, we could launch via gta:lcs and wham boom psp hacked wide open after al sony cant upgrad to new psp to a higher firmware that wont run there own games, so would allways have a way to modify files, so we could be a step closer to sticking one finger up to those pen pushers at sony HQ
Iso’s On 2.0 Here We Come *hopes* great breakthrough keep up the good work guys !!!!!!!
ISO’s on 2.00 nope sorry runs in user mode and is even more restricted than the tiff exploit even a downgrader seems impossible atm
This was on pspupdates way before it arrived here…
Still is nice to see.. i hope it all goes well.. but its probably possible with many games
Fanjita should wait on the exploit on 3.0 firmware. This will be more usefull as we are eventually goign to ahve to crack it than….jsut wait so sony doesnt fix it.
why wait untill v3.00 the same will happen plus all the good games now run under v2.00 so most people are sorted untill gat: VCS or some shit port/ripoff
So, can anyone confirm that it writes in Kennel mode? So isos can be possible?
I know what I have to get for Christmas! =D
lol santa brings you GTA lol poor guy can’t afford to buy his own copy, oh did i say santa is your mum and dad ooooopppps sorry little kiddys
so i can play gta on my psp without the original UMD???
nope it dont work on 2.6 because edisons cheat save file dont work on 2.6 what cant people understand about that ! dont workmon 2.6 do off and spamm someother thread
fuck
blollock he beat me to it piped to the post by a nood shame on me
??? so can i still run my fastloader and device hook
if your fastloader works on v2.00 yes if not no noy untill someone works out how to run them under 2.oo via this hello world method
wot the heck does this program do?
all it does is load hello world in the gta game insteda of the gta cheat device carter created and thats all
ohh ok that nothing amazing but thanks for the reply
no problemo im here to help untill when i get bord :D lol
@bob
no…
@Monkey
Its a demonstration. If you dont know what it does, then its useless to you. Trust me…
yeah you can’t play hello world so why do they even bother with it these days ?
apart from sturring up noobs who ask toomany questions
I wonder what edisons technique for the savegame editing is?
He may be able to do it for other games for lamers who dont like GTA (yes i know a few!!!)
yeah i hear what your saying dude, GTA does get a bit lame after you have played every single installment since it was released back on ye old psone.
a mod file for socom would be good or maby wipeout, the list goes on, hey quick thaught does the cheat thing work on multiplayer gta ? if you saved the file into you network settings ? any one know
ha a Wall hack for socom would be good, just like the old opengl CS hacks :D:D:D:D:D
nope it dosnt work on multiplayer. i tried it. when you through the multiplayer menu it just puts you back to the start of the menu. so you cant actually get into multiplayer
NOTE:
the traditional downgrader changes the version number to 1.00 so you can install 1.50 over 2.00
This technique will not be possible on 2.01+.
From what i know, it is encrypted and i have heard rumours that the location of the version number is different (possibly incorperated into a system file).
It’s things like this make me want to wander back to simpler times of the Atari 2600. The atari 2600 did not boast about polgyons per second, firmware updates, region lockouts, imported vs. local games, and rabid 14 year olds bragging about who has the best sytem.
my psp is better than yours, bet you cant use yours as a door stop or a tea coaster :P firmware that
WORKS ON 2.60, god do you people even try. On 2.50/2.60 it only works some of the time. Next time dont get news from faggy psp3d, get it from pspupdates!
OK, let’s steal another idea now!
steal who’s idea when why who? i dunno i think #33 wants some fame now lol get your own thread byatch naab
You fags need to stop hating if your not impressed make your own app. people like you is why there’s war in the middle east and michael jackson touches kids you assholes
#12 HAHA!
Eight year old + Computer = Post #35
wow so much foul language anyways im just waiting 4 downgrader 4 ver 2.5 4 now ill just play battlefield 2 4 the ps2 it owns like CS ^_^
GOOD JOB FANGITA, but props goes to Edison Carter for this one, without his GTA Hack we would still be twiteling our thumbs! :)
okay i put that fanjitagta.rar in my ULUS10041S0 (GTA SAVE) and the cheat device still dont work??
LOL @ THE NOOBS!!!!!!!! this is only proof. Hello world is a program to prove that you can run unsigned code. So this will eventualy lead into something that can load homebrew and maybe even iso loaders.
quick poll here but would anyonedowngrade if they could run game of their sticks on 2.5???
finally we r so close 2 that downgrader or evan juss homebrew on 2.50 i can juss taste it…mmmm sweet victory on sony..taste good..kinda lyk chicken
Like i will buy this game for this shit. Everytime we will proove we hack it but nobody will put enough effort to have what we have on 1.5 firmware. And sony will always do firmware updates. The real reason is, why the fuck do you update!
P.S. Is this the downgrader???? ROFLMAo!
I heard it have been released a downgrader for version 2.01
EVERYONE 2.50 AND 2.01 HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY HACKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PSP-HOMEBREW RULES!!!!! :)
not for 2.60??
sony will run out of GTA when this works.. and they’ll produce patched GTA UMD …
So if an iso loader was released I could load the iso using gta and play the iso of GTA. Quite the breakthrough…No reason to upgrade except codecs which looks to be coming along, slowly albeit, but coming salong nonetheless.
Lol, sony got owned!
Downgrader for version 2.01

Why dont you try BUYING games? For every person who STEALS a game from the internet or wherever, think of that as contributing to a lack in quality of future games.
And your idea of loading GTA through GTA is retarded. Not that i dont understand what you mean, I’m not that dumb. But you can’t even buy one game? How the fuck did you get a PSP then?
assuming this does lead to an iso loader sony will be very quick to update their new copies of gta that force u to update to 2.6 b4 running it
so on the off chance that this might work itd be a good idea to go buy gta now that rather if it does work and they sold out everywhere and landing upwith their bullsh#t update that ‘requires’ 2.6 and forces u onto it
i cant get it to run whers the read me at
haha YOU nOObs there is already a 2.5 downgrader
Okay lemie get this straight is this program for, so u can USE the Gta Cheat device thats only for 2.01 2.50 work for 2.60? Sorry if it sounds stupid.. Im a beginner.
Hello psp firmware 3.0… features nothing except security updates… *yawn*
Well people this might not lead to a downgrade like other ppl posted. But it means there might be homebrew eventually on 2.01+. No ISOs unless someone figured out how to run them on 2.00+ but thats neat for ppl who got a new psp that came with 2.01
I AM SORRY GUYS BUD I CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT GOOD, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THIS IS
haha,that’s a big news for me,and I’ll play more games.
Oh!Does anybody have used it?
Lol at 58!!!
you dumbass. how can we steal games from the internet idiot! when we can find something on the internet it means that someone in the world actually bought the game. All hes doing at the end is sharing it with his “friends” :)))) ROFLMAO!
i kinda wondered about the possibilities the cheat device would open up; well i guess now we know, only a matter of time before somebody gets it figured out enough to run homebrew and iso loaders :-D
But has someone load an ISO game with this method¿?
Hey,
I dont understand a jack **** about this new hack, and i guess alot of ppl are with me on this one. Can someone expalin in plain english what you can do with this hack and what you need? Ive got a 2.5 PSP , can i finaly play riped PSP games? Yes, no? Would be really nice if someone could help me out!
Ok, i figured it out now! But why doesnt this work on any other game? For ex. i got Burnout Legend on PSP, cant he somehow change it so it works with all games?
is shit
seems the new hello word works in other games as well… good work fanjita
It’s working people. Thanks to Fanjita, great work.
Finally some good news. I needed 2.0 for GTA and would rather not downgrade my firmware. I will buy as many good games that are available on UMD, but I want emulators dammit.
Guys, what is the dump.bin file for after the hello world thingy has been done? what does it do?/Can you do with it?
the file was 28 mb.
Thanks
PS GReat work done already!!!
#78 SO how do you know its a downgrader ?
To 69
Lol you idoit by the time(thats if someone actually boter to do it) someone find a way to make iso run from mem stick with firmware 2.XX (thatll be in months) well dozens of updates will be available and like always everyfucking idiot will update and ask for a downgrade or hack anyway. I just cant undertand how people are retarded. What the hell with updating when you fucking want homebrew!?
#78 u dickless shit trying to brick pples psp
forget this hello world, psp3d.com now has TETRIS!!!! the first homebrew for 2.01
this post does not concern me but I just gota say something
to #7, this post actually got on this site before the PSPupdate did, so try to get you fact right.
Personally I wouldn’t give a rats ass who got what news first, as long as the news gets to me!
The rewards of each newly hacked FW is only as great as the number of titles requiring said firmware. Right now 2.0 has only a handful.
Why wouldnt SONY just skip the 2.5 requirement on games and move to the 3.0 encryption? Its just a key tied into the firmware right? Jumping the gun with 2.5 hacked will cheapen it’s deserved greatness!
Remember there are most likely yet-to-be-found exploits within the growing list of FW already released.
Being able to downgrade to 1.5, and thus able to upgrade to which ever version you like, is important, so the latecomers to the scene can look into passed errors in code.
LONG LIVE THE DOWNGRADER!!!!!
(any downgrader that is)
haha nerds
Look #71
When PSP-Hacking started.. People found out, how to use Third-Party-Software.. The first one was this hack, “Hello World”. It is nothing else, just a text saying “Hello World”. But is the first hope to see the 2.01 and the 2.5 FW is beeing hacked. In future it could be that u can use an loader to play ripped games, no question. Only Time can say it. I have also waiten a long time to do it, and them MPH made the best xploit ever.. the DOWNGRADER !
Amen
SpaXx
PLZ a ISO loader, PLZ
wait i left #61 nobody told me there was a 2.5 downgrader someone tell me were to find it
This is good. We need to start exploiting Overflows In GAMES not the firmware, They don’t force game updates unlike firmware updates, so the overflow works onto the next firmware and the next ;)
HAHA now sony must find a way to recode games on the newer firmwares to remove the overflow in the game from working ;), that’s hard considering, they will have to look at the code in MIPS Assembly and rewrite code that fixes the problem when the UMD game gets loaded into memory ;)
is there a 2.5 downgrader or what #62 said there was but if there is how come i cant find it
i think #62 just wanted to see how many people would be asking about it. if there really was one, you would be hearing about it on every hack website by now.
