Tetris on PSP Firmware 2.01

greg | December 13, 2005

psp3d were able to successfully load and play Tetris on the PSP - with firmware version 2.01!

That’s right. From Hello World yesterday, to Tetris today. We at PSP 3D have successfully ported the first 2.01 game EVER. Thanks to Fanjita for the tips and for the wonderful GTA hack (props to all the people who helped him too). In the next few days, expect this and more games to be ported to 2.5 also (if and when we get SYSCALLs working).

The future looks quite promising for 2.01 (and 2.50?) users!

Download Tetris for PSP firmware v2.01

To install follow the same steps as ‘Hello World’ - posted below.

Damn. So now there’s at least one reason to update to 2.01?? I think I’ll hold off. Still.

Seriously, why 2.01 only?

i dont see why everyone says fuck sony.

its the game developers that choose what firmware thier games can run on.

besides, sony made the psp, and without it, we wouldnt be hacking anything, now would we?

 
Comment by PAK

Sony is not the game developer. I understand why they would want to shut homebrew down; if you can load ISO’s on a card then you don’t need to buy games. If you don’t buy games Sony loses money on royalties.

I just want to play old games with emulators. Especially Nintendo.

it is great that an exploit has been found within GTA & if this works as discussed, then i will most certainly buy a copy of GTA.. I don’t mind buying one or two games a year if it lets me run homebrew on later firmwares!

Thanks sony! & thanks to all the awsome homebrew coders out there! :)

Does it only works on 2.01 or it’s work on 2.6 too (like the Hello GTA World ) ????

 
Comment by mIK

It appears to only work on 2.01 so far but its still great work.

Does anyone know what changed from 2.00 to 2.01 that allows/disallows it from running on both?

I figured Sony would do more to lock down the system even more… i just wonder how much they can do without breaking backwards compatibility with the original games.

I do have a scary thought though. Do you think they would ever go as far as to force users to download game specific updates or patches to let the old copies run, in order to allow them to lock the system down even further with newer firmwares that newer games would be compatible with? It would be horrible for consumer relations though. Hopefully it would never come to that.

Just a few things that have been churning in my mind lately.

Long live the PSP homebrew scene.

Does Someone know why it doesn’t work with firmware 2.5 or 2.6, I don’t understand, because the Hello GTA World works on 2.6 !!

(Sorry if my question is stupid, but i am a young user of PSP, i’ve got it for only one week)

lets hope this leads to a iso loader for socom and king kong. the sells of gta will go up thats for sure it almost seems like that rockstar did this on purpose and just sat back and waited for someone to hack it

just so you people know the web browser sucks ass the only good thing about 2.00 firmware and higher is the avc video the net thing is slower then dial up so whats the point and why does anyone need a web browser with them all the time ever hear of a cell phone most can get your email a better then the psp because it doesnt need a wifi hot spot

whats the real point in cracking the latest firmwear’s? i meen its good and fun sort of but at the end of the day we need to be able to downgrade back to 1.0 like that thing they were working on and then have customisable firmwear.

but then the point in it would be so people could downgrade…

“fu 1.5 pussies, 2.5 kicks ass, youre stupid homebrew is bullshit, all the new games are going to require 2.0 anyway.”

Remember all those posts?

It has similar controversial qualities to that of “Hot Coffee” on GTA:SA. I think we should name this exploit.
I dont think “GTA-Hack” sounds good so maybe we can get something better ;)
What you think?

SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006 appears to require 2.5
At least that’s what the PARAM.SFO file indicates.

It seems a little too soon for this requirement to be based on any progress anyone is making on a 2.0+ crack, these updates are probably going as planned long ago (except the quick fixes i.e. 2.01, 2.6)

Any 2.0 compatable loader would only allow a handful more titles than currently allowed under 1.5, and a loader for 2.5 looks like it may support newly released games until sometime next spring.

So all this may be good news for you now, but it will likely not be enough for most of you in less than 6 months time.

Once you get your damn GTA/SOCOM loader, what will you be bitchin’ about then?

So let me just ask now….

1. Is this a working 4.5 downgrader?

2. How do I run homebrew on 6.01?

3. Is this a GTA San Andreas loader for a 3.5?

forget about the last comment. what are you supposed to do after you save this on you memory stick. i mean, do you just put the mem card while you are playing or what? i have version 2.01.

#34 fuck firmware 2.5 its all about firmware 2.00 becuase of it web browser and it’s capability of playing all new umd games and most of the homebrew using fanjita’s great eboot loader (except for iso rippers and loaders)

KICK ASS! me and my other half bought a psp 2.01 the other day and both want to play the old skool games like sonic 3! and mario kart! can’t wait for the iso loader. BTW you can play tetris on any version of PSP, theres website that i use!
http://WWW.WEBTOPSP.COM go on this and there is tetris, tic tac toe and a calculator. just a guess but it might be worth using HTML content to help with the running of emulators on V1.0 to V2.6 enjoy playing tetris guys n gals!
