PSP Homebrew Tetris on 2.01 and 2.50!
greg | January 10, 2006
psp3d are reporting that Fanjita was successfully able to load Tetris on PSP’s running 2.01 and 2.50 via Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories – this is the first homebrew ever on firmware version 2.50! You are required to own this title on UMD if you wish to take advantage of this newly discovered hack.
From the included readme:
This is a simple demonstration that homebrew games are possible for PSP firmwares v2.01
and v2.5 via the Grand Theft Auto savegame exploit. It is also a test of the general-purpose
GTA loader that will be used as the basis for running the EBOOT loader on v2.01+.At the moment this game will not work on firmware v2.6, but I hope to release an update very soon
that will. It also will not work on the censored German version of GTA – again, I hope to release an update soon.
The installation is simple:
Unzip the contents of this package into the /psp/savedata folder on your memory stick. Note that if you have an existing savegame that uses slot 5, then this will be overwritten by the Tetris savegame.
To load it up:
Start up GTA as normal. When it has loaded, select “Load Game”, select the Tetris savegame and confirm the load as normal. After a short delay, the Tetris game should start.
Ensure you open the included readme.txt for further details.
Enjoy!
Download Tetris for 2.01 and 2.50!
Hopefully we can look forward to more homebrew on 2.01 and 2.50!

that is so AWEsome. Hey I am on top.
This is good news. Maybe a loader is not too far away
Awesome work by Fanjita.
Looks like I’ll have to get GTA:LCS when the 2.01+ loaders are out and confirmed to be working. Not a fan of the series, but I must for the homebrew…
But what do we really want? A firmware loader for 2.5 or a downgrader?
FINALY NOW ALL MY RETARDED FRIENDS THAT UPGRADED WILL HAVE SOME GOOD HOMEBREW VERY SHORTLY WOW FANJITA YOU HAVE SERIOUS SKILLS, DOWNGRADER SHORTLY I PRAY, GOOD WORK MAN
works like a charm…
great work.
is it just me or did i hear about this last week :S
Oh that’s so cool, now i just need to buy gta :)
Thx Fanjita !
ok, nice and gentle, but when will there be a good working isolader for firmware 2.00 or 2.50
tis takes a long time, first when i buy a psp 3 months ago i thought it will be a matter of weeks, to play most of the psp games on my psp but for now it looks more that it will be a matter of years…
fangita you are a psp god…
we need more people like you,
but all the frigin idiots just scare every one away.
i wanna see that guy back who made the umd emu he used to be good,
keep up the great work, your doing well!!
Well i doubt a downgrader anytime soon because when you load this save your psp is in user mode, it doesnt even think about thouching the flash! But Fanjita, i love you!
how do you know if you have the german version? the reason why i am asking is because i’ll have the psp plugged in and everything, but when it gets half way through loading screen and it shuts off.
very weired….
good work fangita your the best and by the way is there any hope of cracking 2.60??
thnx
awsome man!
THIS SUCKS!! Bahahahaha!!! C’mon n00bs, stop taking fanjita as a god. And let another hackers take the glory for making a eboot loader that can run UMd emulator!!!!
1.5 is teh pwnage!
LOL, you’re a jackass.
That’s like saying “LOL PHOTOSHOP CS2 CRACK HAHA THAT SUCKS I CAN DO PHOTOSHOP 7 IN LIKE A SECOND DAWG”.
New technology, once thought uncrackable firmware.
Shut the hell up and admit that this is some pretty good work here.
This rocks!! =D
Love Fanjita!! And, stop asking for an iso loader pleease! You are only scaring the good hackers away!
I tried this on a 2.00 psp and it blew up in my face and ravaged my testicles
THANKS 4 @ll THE HARD WORK 2.50 HERE I COME
Isn’t this really really old?
when i first got my psp and upgraded it to 2.6 i know i didnt know about homebrew well is there a downgrader for 2.6 or does this work with 2.6?
did #21 even read the post? how did he get to the comments?
Well, neverthless… Thanks for making the first HmBrw ever for v2.5…
Do we really need GTA? If yes then have to buy huh?
well I can get tetris working on a psp1000 fw 2.1 but it’s not working on our psp1003 fw 2.5
be good to see things like psp radio working on 2.1 and 2.5 hopfully soon
keep up the good work all you hackers ;O)
Ohhh nice work will try this out when I get home. Sounds good guys, hopefully this’ll (somehow) pave the way for a downgrader.
This was not the first homebrew running on 2.5, cheatdevice by edisoncarter was the first. People may not have noticed since it works alongside gta but its still homebrew on 2.x
it is not working 4 me..can sum1 please explain step by step.(and yes i do have gta)
wow great news i hope they can get more homebrew for v2.5 cause that would be great
also i tried playing gta tetris and it did not load after i had loaded it it just crashed if you know anything please tell me
LOL you’re a retard, this is great news in the advancement of homebrew, enventually after a downgrader comes out those of us with 2.01+ will be able to downgrade to your “awesome” 1.50 firmware.
Hey! Now this is breaking news.. I’m gonna have to put the “firmware chart” down for a sec to check this out!
could someone give me a step by step for this? i tried with my psp plugged in and everything. i have gta. i got it a monthe ago, so i doubt its the german version(i dont know much about this so if i have my facts wrong, im sorry). i saved only the us vrsion to it. the only problem is when it is half way through loading it will just shut of for some reason. i dont know why….
its probly something obvious, but could someone please help me?
this crap dont work. i try downloading this all i get is a ara. file. help!!!
#33 not yet, there is no eboot loader for 2.60 yet. read the other posts smart-one. When you will be able to you will see the headline
I just don’t have anything to say right now.
