No more GTA exploit?
Gary13579 | June 15, 2006
Some rather disturbing news has been posted over QJ.net today, and it seems that Rockstar has fixed the eLoader exploit which allowed us to run homebrew on 2.01+ PSP’s. This new version also requires 2.6 firmware (suposedly).
Here is a video of the “new” version in action.
Whether this is true or not has yet to be seen, but it is very likely Sony has made Rockstar patch it to prevent the people that still have 2.6’s from using homebrew.
If you have a 2.6 (2.7 and 2.71 will not work!), and would like to buy a copy of GTA which allows homebrew, I suggest buying it from eBay, Amazon, or any other online store before they restock with the latest version.

1st post!!!
bummer
Who gives a shit about your first post, DIPSHIT!!!!!
As for the GTA Exploit. Huh, Looks like someones gonna have to dig into a downgrader sooner or later.
its gay
Sony needs to stop.
I don’t think there will be another downgrader… modchip however….
LOL look at the guy that made that video’s other videos!
Its funny!!!
thats gayyyyyyyyyyy
IT’S A FAKE…… HOW DO I KNOW …. OR WHAT MAKES ME THINK THIS IS SO ?………..
IF YOU LOOK AT THE VIDEO YOU CAN SEE THERE IS ONLY 1 GAME SAVE …. YOU NOW WONDERING ?? SOO…
…. THOSE.. OF YOU THAT LOOK WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN ……..
is there a way to tell which version it is?
Wow that sucks, im glad i bought it when it first came out
I think that video is fake…for all the people who use the trainer for Liberty City Stories, we know that if you only have one save game (which is the trainer) and you start the game, the game will crash. so, that video is fake…
who cares you can only run crappy homebrew anyway I have 1.50 thats all i’ll ever need I dont need a crappy modchip either devhook, dax, and mphl loader is all I’ll ever neeed bitches you want emulators run them on your pc most of them will even run on 133 mhz machine theres even a program that runs psp homebrew on the pc and no it doesnt run psp games so who cares and besides what does sony care if you can run crappy homebrew thats why this video is fake.
well i dunno if this is true or not, in any case sony can suck it
Just makes me glad i bought the umd before unpatched and use it on my 1.5 :P you new 2.6 users lol jk
there full of crap 2.6 works pefect i got it :)you need the menu patch for .97
^Im the same^…. it works for me plus I knew this would happen sooner or later anyways… :) think about it.. of course sony dosent want homebrew and shit on their product! then ppl wont buy their games.. only GTA
I dont think anyone is goin to make a downgrade cause they think all of us are gona by a modchip.
why do bad things always happen to me. oh wait i remember its cause im a peice of sh*t cracker
why does everyone keep saying rockstar is doing it, it’s sony that creates and releases the UMD’s you fu*ktards.
what a fantastic way to promote a game and generate sales… one that has a back door into the locked down system !! I wonder who is going to release something similar with a similar back door….. ?
Who fckin cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is definately fake. You need two games saves on to load into the game and from there you load the eloader save. This guy only had one save which loaded up to the game and he tried to use the same one for the eloader exploit.
The reason why Sony does these updates is mainly to stop piracy, not homebrew. People out there continue crying for a downgrader so they can play ISO’s is the issue and unfortunately Sony needs to stop it or they lose the support from developers. Look what happened to dreamcast…piracy killed it and developers dropped from making DC games.
Sony should make an application that would save a umd to the memory stick and you would need the original umd to play the game. This way, Sony gets the sales and customers can enjoy games at faster speeds.
“why does everyone keep saying rockstar is doing it, it’s sony that creates and releases the UMD’s you fu*ktards.”
Incorrect. When a dev studio (such as Rockstar) wishes to make a game for the PSP, they go to Sony to purchase a PSP development kit. This includes a “special” PSP which can run pretty much everything (user mode only I assume), a toolchain and SDK to make the games, and a few documents. This in total costs around $7,000 USD.
The dev studio can do whatever they please until they decide to release a game. When they want to release the game, they do ALL of the coding (including the exploits that made eLoader possible). They went to Sony with the executables and told them that this is our game. Sony then burned it onto the UMD’s (Sony is the only known company with access to UMD burners).
Whether the UMD’s go back to Rockstar for distrib. or if Sony sends them out directly, I’m not sure. But I can say with 99% possitivity (is that a word?) that Sony forced Rockstar to fix it.
dude this shit is fake like someone said earlier in this, that there is only one saved game when the guy shows you the eloader thing he could of just changed the images duh! well then since he only has one save game and the other is the eloader how come the save gave takes him to the hotel/his house or whatever. then when he “reloades” the eloader it goes to the same place.
and shouldn’t the exploit be patched where it says currupt data like firmware 2.61+ does
and if this is true its ur fault for not getting gta at the right time ;) and for living under a rock
I agree with Rivera82falcon… Sony should allow us to get UMD games we buy and then use some program that’s could be in a future update for the PSP to make encrypted ISOs. Maybe the encryption might have something to do with using some kind of ID number from the PSP it was created on so only that PSP can use it.
i use the eloader no problem. but it isnt exactly legal using the exploit. i can bet that somewhere you can find the line “you cannot redistribute or modify this product in anyway” i dunno. i dont mind using it. but if your wanting a reason why, thats probably it. youre infringing on copyright.
hey i just wanna know does this exploit work or not? because if not oh well tough luck for us send me a message on either yahoo aol instant messenger my screen name is bigplayarick01 peace
crap…this means we wont have homebrew when vice city stories comes out….darn
I THINK WHAT HE DID WAS JUS ALTER THE FILES, LIKE YU CAN PUT YUR OWN BACKROUND AND STUFF… ITS FAke.
its pretty gay. i mean like yuput yur own .png file and itll seem like sumthing else.,
your all losers… why the fuck do u care when the mod chip is out.. my local mod shop said they can install one for me next week.. so suck on them balls you homo’s
Hey the new GTA UMD’s that are patched works on my 2.70!
So what? Stuff your patched UMD & 2.70 into some hole & be happy. As for me, I’ll continue playing downloaded ISOs for no cost.
yeah!!
……and the mental age for this conversation is what exactly!!!
that’s fuckin good news!!!!
shut up you fucking ds lover i will kill you fucking bastard
this is a lie, i just bought a copy yestarday or before i forgot and i use the eloader “block_ and it works
maybe its fake u dont c that guy pushing L+R at the same time so how can u tell. also if u load the game with the e-loader itll crash (as said by someone here).
anyway i have the game 7 months ago so :D i dont care that much
Hey that means I can make Big MOney on Ebay for my version of GTA! I have two! I might sell one for 70 dollars
Javeliner
your the fucking problem
your the reason why everyone’s getting screwed over
and if it werent for people like you, the rest of us wouldnt have to use exploits for homebrew
fuck you.
^^maybe not dude
If I was a 2.60 I wouldn’t pay 20 lol
ds lover suck my balls.. what r u gonna say when the psp is chipped and we can all play free games..
that ain’t gonna happen johnnychingchingchongchan… you dipshit… because sony will find a way…. they always do!!!! Like I said… this news is fuckin great!!!!
damn why are u even worrying the guys alredy said they bought a copy yesterday and it works OK so this video could be a fake !!!!
Why wait till now for it to be fixed, why not sort it out when it first came out. Surely it’s up to sony anyway to check what they burn from the devs
To all the doubters:
I have seen this all over the internet lately so it’s problably true. Besides, like I give a f***ing damn, I’m running on 1.50, don’t give a shit about the newer games, and I’m waiting on my new modchip. Looks like Sony waited way to late to do this.
To Zhuki:
Because most likely the store didn’t have the new shipment of gta. DOOH!
Damn!!! i just got the new patched gta. gotta get my refund back.
I dont care either way, but i would like to say something to all these imature people with there 1.5. I have a 2.0 so i can go down BUT hear me saying all the shit your saying.
Look just because newer people dont know there way around dosn’t mean you have to be like “OmG FuXk YoU NoOb’s 1.5 Fo LiFe” please get a life or die. Which ever is eayist for you.
Try helping people instead of hating.
Thank you and happy moddin
Hige, shut yer trap.
BTW, if you’re so law-compliant, what are you doing here? SONY made lotsa guts with it’s price policy & influence on other companies. Someone here said very good thing: Rockstar’s incomes will slow down with this patch.
Moreover, where I live there are not so many shops selling PSP-games. Delivery takes months & overheads are as much as game itself. So why should I buy a game if I can download it?
Dude That is totally FaKe!!!!!!!!!!
Y?
Cause you can easily change the Image on Your Game Save Data!!!!!!!!!
Rockstar has no patch you liars!!!1
And for All you dipshits quit trying to be so cool with your 1.5’s no one gives a fuck about you
Just quit posting all your fucking smack talk!!!!
Suck a dick.
That goes for you too, Javeliner. Because of you people who play iso’s I cant play my fucking Daxter anymore without a damn $90 modchip. If people didn’t start playing illegal backups, maybe sony wouldn’t have given a shit about homebrew, similar to the way we feel about you right now
to Daniel:
maybe ur right but still ppl can get the modchip .
anyway i dont care
anyone who runs iso’s is the shit i wish i had a 1.5 psp wait i had one then my dumbass upgraded the firmware before iso emu was possible
Yeah its true because i just bougt GTA for the psp and had rented a copy a few months back and still have it. And the rented copy lets me do homebrews but the newer version doesnt.
If you want proof ill make a vid showing everything but its very true, no reason to lie. Just dont buy a newer version of GTA thats all get used copies.
Hey, this rockz!! i juz bought myself a copy of GTA.. took the risk actually.. n it works!
