Hello World for FW 2.00-2.80!
greg | August 28, 2006
And the weekend finale…. drum-roll please… GTA-less “Hello World” on firmware 2.0, 2.01, 2.50, 2.60, 2.70, 2.71, and… 2.80! Yes, you read correctly – all 2.XX firmware! What does this mean? Well, I’ll just quote you the entire readme:
Finally, it’s here! As of today, the world of homebrew is no longer restricted to owners of Grand Theft Auto.
Following the publication of a new proof of concept TIFF vulnerability by NOPx86, a team of PSP developers has been working hard to turn it into an opening for homebrew on the PSP. We’re pleased to announce that the wait is over, with the release of a Hello World demo that runs on all PSP firmwares that are capable of viewing TIFF images!
To install, just unpack this ZIP file to your PSP’s PHOTO folder, and then attempt to view hello_world.tif. Hello World will launch automatically. You may find that occasionally the full screen doesn’t show – this is a known problem, just restart your PSP by holding the power button until it turns off, then open the image again. To quit, hold the power button until the PSP turns off.
So what happens next? This shows that we can run code via this exploit. It won’t be too hard to develop an eLoader that can use this exploit on v2.0 – v2.6. v2.7+ will be harder, due to extra security, but will happen a little later. Kernel mode is unavailable on v2.8, but it is likely that a downgrader is possible on all other firmwares. But then, with the possibility of kernel homebrew running without the need for a game UMD, why would you need to downgrade?
Full credit is given in the Hello World, but repeated here: Thanks to NOPx86 for the initial proof of concept on the x86 processor, and psp250, Skylark, Joek2100, CSwindle, JimP and Fanjita for the PSP work. Thanks also to Ditlew, HarleyG and our families for general support during this work.
’nuff said. My personal thanks to all the developers and people who contributed to achieving this remarkable feat!

OMFG!
I would think there would be a lot of comments. This is amazing everyone can enjoy homebrew and not to mention possible downgraders in the works
w00t!!!
this is such a huge step… I never would have imagined
Any one know where I could find the source code to this?
Congratulations all you 2.++ guys
I literally just finished downgrading my friend’s 2.00 to 1.5 when I saw this news posting.
Wow this is sad, the same exploit on 2.00 is usable again? I thought they patched it..
cool
omfg and i just got my psp and thought i’d have to downgrade to 2.xx then 1.5 to get homebrew nice work guy’s
OMFG, amazing. simply amazing.
wow!!!! great man!!! that’s mean i can run ISO? THX guys….to those who r still “muo muo ken jun” ppl, keep goin!!
the download link isnt working could someone pm me the link that works
great news. $ony got served again i guess…
there joking :P
The link works.
has anyone tried it on a TA-082?
works on ta-082 2.5 fw
ive got 2.8, and when i try to get to the icon, it freezes for a bit and then shuts off. Is this supposed to happen?
Wow, literally almost every PSP has the potential of homebrew. Sony’s firmware developers are gonna get now.
And I quote from Jay-Z, “I came, I saw, I conquered…”
That is exactly what NOPx86 and his dev crew has accomplished.
It seems that what ever Sony throws at PSP crackers has will be cracked.
I love being on the side that I’m on.
It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
tight
to #19 Nevermind, 9 was the luck number
KICK… ASS!
now I don’t have to help this little whiny freshman kid downgrade lol
Congrats to all those on firmwares 2.6+ and/or those who don’t have the old gta UMD, and lets not forget to thank those working on the project :P
Yay… freshmen suxxx…. lol…j/k GOOD JOB… I HATE HAVING TO START MY GTA AND WAIT LIKE 3 MINUTES JUST TO LOAD STUFF… Will this also mean that homebrew apps that were availiable for 1.5 only will now be available for 2.6?
HOLY CRAP THIS IS AWESOME!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!
Eat my shorts SONY!!!!!!!
Hurray! I feel a massive downgrader coming on if you know what i mean
WOW congrats to everyone, i’ve been a long time owner of two psp’s both 1.5’s and been going to 2.0 and back over and over im going to 2.7 web browser without DEVhook, wow congrats all you that’ve been waiting and now there is gonna be a lot of developing going on. And of course to all the programmers and dev’s that have worked hard on this project these 2.xx owners cant thankyou enough
GOD dEE Umm SONY IS GETTING STR8 RAPED LATELY
@Ravenmaster
Of course. Kernel mode access for fw 2.0-2.7, as of the proof of concept
OMFG IT FING WORKS THANK THE GODS LOL
Guess this means 2.9 or 3.0 is releasing a little earlier than expected.
I love Sony, but what I wouldn’t give but to hear, if anything, the ruckus that’s going on in the firmware development department…
I kinda hoped this would have been announced after v3.0 was released, since it is most likely that Sony will patch it. Either way, expect v2.81 to be released before then.
@Ravenmaster
Wait, I take that back. Obviously, not all apps that were 1.5 only will be usable for the other firmwares(ie. custom firmwares, X-Flash, etc)
This is awesome! 2.80 really surprised me!
FALCONS PWN
I must say cheers to you guys for all you hard work. You are our front line soldiers in the war of homebrew and open developement. Here you are programming for free just so the public can enjoy homebrew. 3 cheers to you guys. AND HELLOWORLD!!
and freshman suck, junior right herr bitches
this is so gr8
like OMFG! this it like awesome man!
Ok so how do I get homebrew and stuff onto my 2.8 PSP? Im a newb to this stuff so an answer will be appreciated!
Ha, try that on for size sony! (But great! now they are going to remove tiff pictures in the next firmware saying some crack like “removed tiff picture capabilities due to sequrity holes” or something)
great news!!!
Does this work on ta-082 fw 2.6 ?
I echo what was said above about this being released a little too early – it’s obviously now very very unlikely that a similar exploit will work come 3.0 (or even 2.81/2.9), and if Sony had no idea about the security issue, it would have been a bigger hit against them. I’m not saying, however, that this particular work is designed to be something as coarse as a “Fuck Sony”, but they may as well have maximised their gains over two whole firmware releases (1.0 – 3.0, even if 1.0 had a great deal of freedom). It would have been lovely to play “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories” one moment, and an emulator the next (on the day, or in the week, of its release)…
That said, this is obviously great, great work, and my thanks goes out to them. It’s going to be an interesting few weeks to see if exisiting 1.5 homebrew will run through the exploit, although, even with little technical knowledge, I doubt it will. I guess the dream to get universally compatible homebrew applications is a little further off (perhaps an impossible distance) than homebrew for all. I assume we will have to pick each of our homebrew versions, and I have no problem with that. Delighted .
Thanks,
^Doody.
good news. but why do u geeks always talk about sony, when u own a sony product. thats pretty dumb, u should at least be glade they even made the psp. this is kinda of bad news, cuz now the game developers aint going to make games as good, now cuz every body will be downloading them for free off the net. who knows, thanks alot, u just killed the psp game indistry. smart move dumb ass’s.
tried it on my 2.71 and it worked perfectly. Good work.
hah finaly i dont have to ebay the psp im writing this from
MyFuckingGod.
I have two 1.5’s, but this is just awseome news for the world of psp homebrew!
Well done to all involved
im cry’n ”
as im writin this, im SO HAPPY! :~)
I gotten out of bed & turned pc on as im ill,& i come on here to read up [as i do each n every day] & wow im feeling better already,[im already an owner of 2 psps white n black] but my sons gotta 2.70 he upgraded his psp to now i can downgrade it today so he dont have to use myne all the time to play me on certain games lol [you know kids sitcky fingers n all] so again great news not just for me n my son but to all the others out there who couldnt downgrade,[YOULL LOVE IT, 1.5OFW THAT IS] wasnt expecting for at least 1 month or so so a really well done to ya.
Could have waiten for fw3.00 tho as then all wouldve been available to us but no great big deal,Youve done it on all other firmwares so you know this ones gonna get done sooner or later.
does homebrew work 2.71 now
this works gr8 on my psp 2.60
what is supposed to happen, mine just brings up a message and stays there
sooner or later soney may just give up
Hate to ask this, but what actually is this?
Is it a downgrader for users who have firmware versions between 2.0 and 2.8??!!
haha. Good news for those people who’s stuck on TA-082, 2.7+ owners ^^ makes homebrew, downgrading available on all current firmwares! WITHOUT GTA!
$ony! you LOSE! hackers exploited all ur current FWs!
Do we have kernal acces from versions 2.00-2.71
And was there a sorce code relesed
(No. 57) It doesnt make downgrading avalible on all firmwares only 2.00 -> 2.71 because 2.80 has no kernal access.
YES!!!! now i can update for VCS knowing homebrew will be following :)

You’re kidding right? if anything is going to be running on 3.0 it is VCS.
As for them not releasing until 3.0 is released, that would be a pointless excercise as 3.0 is pretty much a complete re-write of the firmware, see fanjitas website:
http://www.fanjita.org
‘The final nail in the coffin was spending the last few weeks trying to break a leaked copy of the v3.0 firmware release. Sony have done a really good job on this one, and we’ve given up hope of being able to crack it. Not even the GTA exploit works – it seems that Sony are really serious about security this time, and it’s depressing. The slog ahead to try to crack what amounts to a total rewrite of the firmware just doesn’t seem worth it. Good luck to anyone who does decide to try.’
cool sweet but try to put other pics on it and u wont be able to view them :/
This news seems very exciting as I almost had a fit when I come across this webiste and saw all the cool stuff that the psp can do (i upgraded to 2.8 UNKNOWINGLY)
What does this actually mean in essance, I got hello world working… so does this mean I can now install homebrew etc??? Please help!
not yet jon p, wait for an eloader
btw that stuff on fnjitas site was an april fools, good one! Maybe they should have waited before releasing, especially as im currently selling an unpatched version of gta on ebay, gonna go for less now i know it
one of the best news, I have seen to this day….
lol, who I am kidding, this is the best news ever :D
46- there is only a small amount of people who illegally download psp games.
most people (including me) actually buy the games.
it saves room on your memory stick which you still need to buy from sony anyway!
HOLY SHIT OMFG I AM SO HAPPY OMG FUCK U ALL I LOVE THE Hax0rz OMG WOOOHOOOO THEY DID OMG THE DID IT I LOVE YOU THANKS !!!!!!!!!!
how do u start this program? It automatically loads but then stays to a screen with a message bouncing up and down? It says Hello World for the PSP on 2.0.0 to 2.8.0-”Paving the way to a new homebrew area” 27/08/2006 http://www.moobs.eu AND SO ON. How long do I have to wait?
A little somethin’ for everybody.. May the force be with you Guys! SONY is DOing some Counter attack again.
SONY BitE Meh!! Harharhar
this is kinda funny. i left the psp-hacks.com webpage up and went to sleep. when i woke up, i was like maybe if i hit the refresh button something about the psp tiff exploit will have something new. AND IT DID! i thought i was still sleeping and this was all a dream. but its not! :) GOOD WORK ALL OF YOU!
I don’t own A PSP, but this news is really makes me want to buy one,
excellent, in few days we will see ISOs and third party games working fully on fw below 2.8…
awsome, can’t wait to see whats next :)
OMFG WHEN WILL WE HAFE ELODER?
Or so I would say if I was stupid like the rest of the noobs. I’m new to this too, but I understand that this is a great step forward. I got my PSP a few months ago and it had firmware 2.5 on it. I updated that to 2.6 and didn’t update since, hoping that I could get homebrew working once I can afford GTA. I got that last Saturday and of course it was patched, I didn’t have much hope but then again it’s no big loss, I’d have bought GTA anyways.
This new exploit gives me hope, so kudos to the hacking team and keep up the good work!
could this brick my psp?
This will probably make sony bring out there FWv3.0 early, they were keeping this one back to be released at the same time as the PS3, it supposedly has the long awaited PSone emulator which in itself will tempt ppl to upgrade, I will be one of them as I am lucky enough to own 2 PSP’s, anyway well done on this discovery, this means also that ppl on ebay wont be making a fortune selling overpriced 1.5’s because they will nolonger be a rarity.
YESSS!!!! SWEET.Thanks so much guys now I can use my other 2.8 PSP for something other than just sitting around.
fuk yea dude this is awsome
meh… its cool i guess.
YOOOOO! CANT WAIT FOR AN E-LOADER! GREAT JOB GUYS… GREAT NEWS FOR ALL WHO HAVE 2.6 AND ARE LAZY OR HAVE 2.7+ AND CANT HAVE NOTHING BUT FLASH GAMES… YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
ps. thanx for reply xxx ace xxx I think i understand now… still A GREAT ACHIEVMENT THO
now all they need to do is implement the eloader into the tiff hack and then bam total homebrew
To stop it from autorunning do what was done in the Tetris libtiff exploit on 2.0, http://noobz.eu/.
Simply put it in a folder with the hello world file and another image file which was modified before the hello world file.
To open just open up the folder the hello world file is included in.
(sorry for my earlier blank post, I accidently pressed enter)
I’d like to own 2 psp’s too lol :D
Nice ! and now just wait for eloader, or downgrader or devhook. this is the greatest year for psp hacking
AWESOME i knew this day would come
FINALLY…GOD LOVES US!!1
Great news for 2.xx users!i have a 2.0 fw @ downgraded 2.5 to 1.50.havent tried yet going to wait for eloader!but huge news for psp world
PPL this is a demo and the loader will be comming soon .. this just proves this is possible its like a proof of concept if u wish …. its awsome thouhg
Well, I don’t want to sound stupid, but i got the picture to work on my ta-082 ver. 2.71 psp, and i was just wondering if this necessarily means that the eloader will work on mine when it comes out?
forgot to credit saotome, he discovered the first version of tif exploit
CRYING WITH HAPPINESS!!!
THANKS FOR BRINGING HOMEBREW TO OUR WORLD!!!
THANK YOU FANTAJA AND EVERYONE ON THE CREW
GOD I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
first post whoooooo… not! :)
@ 91- Thanks, I just wanted to be sure. When I found out I had a ta-082 I almost shit myself, because I had been waiting for something like this for a long time. But didn’t they downgrade a 2.5 ta-082? so maybe it’s possible to downgrade?
Nice one guys, saved me bout 30quid on gta lol…has anyone updates to 2.80 so you can play world tour soccer demo? since no fears of not being able to mod :D.
does this mean its better to upgrade my 1.5 to 2.xx ?
no… stay with 1.5. better yet, downgrade to 1.0.
Works on a TA-082 FW 2.6
only problem is that you cant view any pics…
this is so fuking bangin cnt wait for the fukn eloader to come out good job
i’ve been staring at my hello world screen for hours on my psp.
fuck yeah
To all the cluesless here: Don’t upgrade yet, stay with devhook until he see what this will actually bring us.
I’m not sure if we will be able to play all homebrew or just stuff specifically programmed for this exploit when the eloader is out. Can somebody clarify?
when I try to unzip it into the pictures folder it says data is corupted. could someone help
if u have 2.80 and u got gta how do u homebrew?
You Sir… Are An Idiot >_
if u were in my face sying dat u were be bleeding on the ground bitch
congrats to everyone for this big achievement.now were totally better than the people that dont even know about this website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh yeaaa!!!1
awesome man.
um, well i cant wait till its all done :)
I tried to run this on my 2.60, no hello world screen, just a blank black screen, reset, tried again…same thing… hello world wont show, any suggestions?
Im so Happy! I feel the power!
Thank you thank you thank you! You guys are great for the PSP community, where do we donate? :D
wut role does GTA play in this new discovery?
its me a gainn,
and i just creamed for the 43579826972th time!!!!
The role that GTA plays is that of being made obsolete.
@ 106- try re-downloading the file and doing it again. make sure to put it in the photo folder.
Well unless a 2.80 downgrader is released before 3.0 (I’m sure it won’t) I’m going to update anyway…Regardless of it’s features
Here is my input of joy. :]
This will be a good fix untill I get paid, then I can order my modchip!
this is a dream??????????????
I guess so
because this is awsome
thes is enjoy becos my psp is 2.70v
huh
Thank you!!!!
I never upgrade my psp again.
GJ!!
Congrats TO ALL PSP USERS WITH
TA-082 Mobo and 2.50FW > 2.80FW
Questions need answers please :
1) is this is a demo or a real downgrader ?
2) does it work ot TA-081 psp ? especially TA-081 fw 2.6 ?
3) is there any chance to brick you psp if you try that ?
thanks alot,,, and congratulations to all
How long does this take
what exactly is this download for?
Hey everyone!!! Sony got they asses handed to dem once more. Just 3 things
1. does it work on a factory TA-082 fw 2.60?
AND
2. Thank you all psp homebrew and exploit devs who worked at this for these past few dayz.
3. Is kernel mode gonna work so i can play ISOs?
To 121:
1- its a proof of conceit, it allows access to kernel. so in a short time we can get a real iso loader, homebrew or even a downgrader.
2-yes
3-no. it doesnt flash anything. it only shows a wavy text ” Hello World” .
WHAT IS HELLO WORLD EXACTLY AND WHAT DOES IT DO, WHEN I START IT IS HAS A WAVY MESSAGE, I DONT SEE A PICTURE!!!!!! IM PISSED
Your pissed. I like that. That means you’re miserable.
you guys are retarded. did half of you even read the article? this is simply code written to display “hello world” which technically opens the doors for useful software to be run on psp with higher firmware versions.
this program will not fuck your grandma nor will it turn your psp into a ds, where you can play roms & homebrew *easily*.
******************HI CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THIS WOULD PLAY .ISO FILES ? *****************
So in other words all we have to do is wait for an iso loader so we can play iso games on our psp???
that’s wicked good!!
This is great. Cant wait for the homebrew.
p.s. there are a lot of noobs (annoying) lol
Just respect da programmers n donate 2 help.
if any of you have ever looked in a programming book, you’ll notice the first piece is on a ‘hello world’ application. it’s merely that – an example. in this case the example is that foreign code can be ran on these firmwares. further development will result in more advanced software.
anybody expecting this to do anything other than show an example of code compiled and running will be sorely disappointed.
i just have a black screen full of colorful words thats going up and down whats next!!!!
ISO’s? No! at least not for a long while
#135, please elaborate.
some of you guys cant read, so i will use caps to aid you. THIS IS JUST A DEMO, NOT A DOWNGRADER OR ANYTHING ELSE INVOVING HACKS.They come later :)
Jesus fucking christ. What the fuck do they teach you kids in school? (Heh, though I learned hardly shit at mines) Talk about wasted tax dollars. You have access to the net for crying out loud. You can learn anything if you cease being spoon fed and asking dumb questions.
oh these noobs…..please read everything b4 u post, not just the first sentence and already commenting that how u downgrade / play iso’s already
Just some waiting more, and let’s all hope that the next devhook (0.47 i think) will be 2.xx compabable (omfg wtf how i write that word)
Compatible, my friend. Just sound it out, lol.
Am I the only one refreshing this site every five minutes? Probably… I guess I’ve got too much time on my hands.
this is so active i can wait to the new e loader is releashed so i can play the snes emulator
@141
Lol me 2 excited as can be oh well patience is a
good thing to have
It was about time!
Your not the only one refreshing every 5 minutes. And for all you that cant get this program to downgrade your psp here is the answer to the OTHER users on this board. If your are running Windows on your computer find a program called command.exe and run it then type in this “format c:” then we wont have to listen to you bitch. If you have a mac find a program called terminal and go into it and type “sudo rm *” it will ask for a password type in the admin password. Now all your problems are gone. You wont get anymore viruses and your program on your computer wont crash anymore. And we wont have to hear you bitch about the program not downgrading your PSP.
I hope I dont get into trouble for this. LOL
D4rkn1con. Dude, stop spoon feeding them. Let them find out things on their own. Newb helper.
lmao
@145
lol yeah you definitely wont get any problems with your psp at all lol…
im a fuck’ng noob but you rock mates!!!!
i cant wait for eloaders, i never downgraded my 2.6 cuz i was afraid!!!if this really works…omg, world is happiest!!And “black market” of 1.5 is OVER MAH FRIENDS.
cheers you all
I have no words to thank ya guys for your work, but… thank you all for everything, keep the great work and remember we all are here to support you.
im with #148, i was afraid to downgrade cuz’ it could brick my PSP, thank you again guys, and congratulations.
just give me a working n64 and gba emu and im set!!!! btw i have 2.71
HELLS YES!!!!!!!
WoooW ! this is the nicest news i heard from about 3 months, this pretty awsome !!
jst cant w8 till the developers make an emulator or smth…. aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh, i’ll finally be able to play stuff on my psps :D
i smell a troll
Yes, this was all a charade made up entirely so you would brick your PSP. Neener neener! The whole internet conspired against you just for this moment. Man you’re so gullible. Project succeeded, guys! ^^
people keep saying that it doesnt work on fw 2.80, but i tried it on mine and it worked fine
Hell yeah!!! Homebrew Conquers All!!!
when will the eloader be released?
looks like Ookm can downgrade TA-082 fw 2.50 – 2.71 now!!
it would be better if this news wasnt released, cause now sony will go and make it impossible to use on 3.0, you guys should have waited until 3.0 is released, then you would realy screw sony :P
Nope, the tiff exploit had already been found and would have been patched even if our awesome hackers hadn’t found it. There’s no drawback in releasing this now, believe me.
even though i have 1.5, this is pretty awesome. I am helping all my 2.7 friends, lol
next security step?protect umds…and so on and so on.
yes…yes….yes i knew sooner or later this was going to happenn
since 2.8 has no kernal that just means no downgrade right..???
Sony got OWNT once more!!!
Nice job guys keep on going
when will the loader release?
so can this load ISOs and is it worth upgrading if the camera requires a new version??
i don’t get why you fucking idiots get so pissed off when somebody asks a dumb question. is it really that big of a deal to have to read another sentence? is it that hard on your brain? you don’t even have to respond to it; so what i suggest is you fucking relax a little bit, and stop throwing your “knowledge” in everyones face.
we’re all newbies at one point or another.
i agree.. right on wej
We should make sure that we dont take this for granted. A lot of people just expect something is gonna happen sooner or later, like as if these hacks just appear out of nowhere. So thank you to those mentioned above.
OMFG OMFG OMFG THIS KICKS ASS!!! THANKYOU!! i have a 2.6 and this works like a charm lol my friend just bout the gta game like 3 days ago its going too be funny when i tell him about this lol
@wei
Some people find the “dumb question asking” very monotonous. One can actually learn alot just by researching instead of going “Momma, spoonfeed me!”
I mean, the same question is being repetively asked over and over again times five kagillion, when the answer is right in front of them, lol.
Now when this behaviour is seen, I assume that I deserve a little trolling time (even though the monotonous stupid question asking is technically considered “trolling”) to insult someone’s intelligence.
Besides that, it gives me a boner doing it.
It’s just satirical, bra. Know what I’m sayin’? :P
^ wej*
haha i know what you’re saying, and i like to make fun of people too, but just not replying to them forces them to look it up in the end, plus they’ll fell like shit anyways.
but cussing at them and calling them”n00bzzzz” and shit, also gets annoying.
oh and “pwn” is the gayest fucking thing i’ve ever read. fuck “pwn.”
When people are stupid tell them it is wetware problem or even pebkac. My favorite it to tell them it is an id 10 t problem.
When i saw this i just about jizzed my pants. My friend has a 1.5 psp and that thing is so amazin. my bro has 2.8 firmware so hes gonna love this too. im a total noob so when ppl say it has no kernel mode then what does that limit 2.8 users to doing when shit actually comes out that uses this exploit?
@MaT
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_mode
[+]
Oh, and what it means by kernel mode access not being available for fw2.80 is basically like being a restricted GTA-less homebrew loader. No iso loader, or any other homebrew that requires kernel access.

WELL SAID.
Thats right…You guys keep doing what you do…It makes it worth the wait for ps3…I only wish the programers put some more time in ps2…Whatever though…I can only picture in my head what the ps3 is going to bring…Once again, great stuff…
Sony = PWNED!!! well done guys, its been ages in the happening but you have all proved just how valuable to the PSP scene you all are with work like this….
Sony might as well give in now….
yahho yahoo yahoo i cant beleive it i am so happy i was waitin so long and its finaly here yaahhoooooo
ps.hurry up with the bloody eloader i cant wait
my psp didn’t brick!! woohooo!
@ wej.
answer there questions will just result in them asking again, but with more capital letters and exclamation marks
@ stewart! or 186, i said not to answer their questions, did you read my post?
@ 186 nevermind i undersatnd what you were trying to say.
i meant not to answer their questions. sorry, posted as soon as i woke up :$
Dont answer their questions correctly. Tell them to do something that will prevent them from accessing the internet and posting for a while and your problem is solved.
Homebrew WINS over sonys firmware!!. The homebrew scene on the PSP is MASSIVE!! and will never go away, lots of very good updates recently!!
In fact this hack uses Tiffs images again, but the reason this works is that it uses different application calls that the orginal hack did not used. Sony patched up the other and not this other.
now it’s just the mighty question; upgrade to play VCS (if required), or wait for homebrew emulators..
HAHAHAHHAHA
you guys….
Beware of black guys in black sony helicopters using your stunning sony patented stunners near at your house!
CONGRATULATIONS!
amazing
hundred of japanese guys working a lot (earning a lot of ienes too) and a few guys kicking his butts
AWESOME
What if i open that tiff from the PSP browser?
@ 194
It will cause a small eplosion with balloons
And monkeys. Don’t forget the monkeys.
Hey!! It runs!!! :D
White Psp factory 2.60… and it runned at first try!!!
Thankx a lot to al the people who uses their time to make this little marvel more and more funny for us.
Thans guys!! and keep hard!!! :D
Guys.. you do realize that we STILL have to wait for homebrew isoloaders, etc.etc. to be developed.. Just like we did before…… Installing this Hello World does NOTHING for us.. its just proof that it works…. Just chill out and wait for the iso loader!!
The E-Loader will be coming out shortly, there is no doubt about this. But what about 3.0? PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT THIS SITE AND EVERYTHING THATS GOING ON “GO OUT AND BUY A PSP NOW!!” lol There is no telling how long it’s going to take us to crack sony’s new DICK code so chances are they are cooking up something right now. But you know, Sony couldn’t be a worse company, since everyone here is happy about homebrew and shit, you have Sony going NOOOO!! THEY ARE HAPPY?! WE HAVE TO CHANGE THIIIS! lolz I bought mine when it came out for the sole purpose of downloading and playing movies/games, since someone had told me that it had the technology to do this.
198. just the eloader then we use the downgrader process created by dark alex….you wont need an iso loader.
.dan
Sony don’t hate homebrew they hate ISO loaders! Unfortunatly they carn’t stop one without the other. Or can they, has anyone seen what MS are doing with open development on the XBox 360? Sony should pay attention to this or the PSP will die through software piracy!
WAIT so sony should pay attention to the xbox 360 development OR the psp will die through piracy? What the hell are you talking about? How will the psp die if they pay attention to something else? theyre still going to make games. AND an ISO loader is a piece of homebrew, so how can they be two different things? “they carn’t stop one without the other” You really need someone to proofread your comments kid, and lay off the drugs.
Did music or movies die through piracy? NO. Is Japan leading the way in piracy? YES. It is there for the people that choose to use it. Nothing will die
EVERYONE downgrade your psps to 1.5 when the eloader comes out. Your not going to want a bullshit ISO loader, trust me. I run devhook on my 1.5 and I have all the features that any other psp has.
ONe more thing…SONY HATES YOU.
yeahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!. alot of appreciation and thanks to the those who made it possible for us psp users (above v2.0) to put homebrew on our systems. I was about to buy another psp because i have v2.8 but now i don’t have to.Great job.
# 46. You have “Stockholm Syndrome”. Sony shot themselves in the foot by limiting what this awesome peice of hardware can do.
Great work on this!!!
I have no Fu@#en Idea what this is all about.
works on 2.8! keep up the good work! waiting for the eloader!
I have a ta-082 fw2.60 factory and I am so excited to see all this progress lately. I was a little disappointed that Oakms solution only applied to 2.5 factory but with this and the way things are going it shouldnt be long. I will deff be donating to serveral programmers for their work/efforts and urge others to do the same to show your support for the work. As for all the newbs out of this 200+ posts that are being rediculas with their comments only wanting to play pirated games they do not support the hard work and shouldnt be allowed to enjoy these fine new (upcoming) releases. Keep up the good work!!!
holy shit r u fuckin shitten me? this is huge!!i have 2.80!!
#208. Who will you be donating to? what a jackass lol i HIGHLY doubt you will donate anything, and IF you do you’ll probably be the only one. YES it is amazing that this code is coming out and YES they deserve our thanx but there coming out with this so you dont have to go out and rent a copy of the unpatched GTA. BOTTOM LINE theyre making this so you dont have to pay?? go ahead, idiot, donate. I hope you can send some money my way haha
malcolm, it’s just an example of them beating the latest firmware. if you’re expecting anything other than a proof of concept, or just something as an example of basic code running then you’ll be disappointed.
it’s just to show people that it’s possible, advancements and time will result in more advanced things being released.
yeeeeaaaaahhoooooo!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can sleep better!!!!!!!
DAng ol! I wouldn’t have bought a 1.5 PSP to replace my 2.71 if this event’s had came earlier like last week lol.But many thanks for PSP developers and congrats for those 2.xxErs lol.
Umm, can anyone say ” OWN3D”?
waiting for the eloader….
….
….
….
….
i want the eloader!!!!!!
Eloader anytime soon?? thanx in advance
stop asking and wait jeez you gotta give these things time it cant happen instantly. i mean, im no programer but i know you cant just make sumthing like that in a week or two… iused the gta loader waiting for a downgrader for almost half a year so dont expect anything for a couple weeks
but then why did they say it will be here soon?
YAY!!! now imma upgrade my psp to 2.7, have homebrew and now i can listen to music browse internet at the same time!
all it is a new code which would be like II.*……FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
so this means that I can play the snes emulator on fw 2.8 without GTA
#221 -yes….
drftoonarmy@yahoo.co.uk
spam me
Next is the eLoader!
damn when is the eLoader coming out, i havent touched homebrew on my psp v2.6 yet. anyways this is excellent news and thanx to the guys hard at work.
#209 fuck u u asshole atleast i have money to donate
Thats a very nice breakthrough (checked it out two days ago). Don’t worry if they change the code entirely in 3.0, I bet someone could crack the code anyday (finding a new exploit that might’ve not work or may work on earlier versions before 3.0).
Be patient about the new E-loader, since Rome was not built in one day. Rome being built in one day is like saying, everything can be built in one day.
Anyway, good job on the breakthrough. Each time a new version comes out, may patch bugs and other exploits, but also leads to other exploits never seen before. That is all I have to say with my two cents.
How do you expect us to answer you, #228? You obviously can’t read.
And I obviously can’t count, so sue me.
lets all eat apple pie now!!!
HEllo
Im sorry but i didnt understand what this this file would do… ( im new) i downloaded it and install it .. what next?? could i download games and play??! explain to me PLEASE
either read the post or read other peoples comments. Its just a demo. You wont be able to play any games until they make a loader
okay thanks!!
every read my comment this is not a joke i found out i to downgrade i tied it on my 2.80 and it downgraded to a 2.00.first put the tiff image in ur photo folder then wai until it comes on…..when it is on hold x square and r fir a minute and the psp will start blinking and i will be down grading….if it doesn’t work ask me for more info….bye
@Malcolm
You filthy ugly troll. Tsk tsk. Still starting shit, eh?
Day 2 of waiting for eloader….
…
…
…
…
…
Yeahhh i have an PSP 2.80 I know that i will not be able to downgrade, I only want an eloader to play my snes roms
its mad funny trickin people
CMON!!!!!!!! ELOADER!!!!!!!!!!!!
3rd waiting day :P
You guys counting the days? i thought of counting weeks or months.. haha..
Really hope asap~
im glad 2.80 was finnally cracked
WOWOWOWOOW nice job HAXORS
Does this mean that we could possibly be running something like devhook?? or maybe a downgrader…
both mb
Downgrader for 2.7 might be coming out tommow =)
18 mins till its the 4th day for me lol
i dont think the emulator will come in a while, its almos 4 days
eloader my bad
i just tested it it works on a factory
TA-082 2.60 psp
wow, you and like 10 other people on here, congratulations.
damn when is the fucking eloader coming out for this shit they should of released it with the hello world
yea they should…got us waiting forever. ill jus buy a 1.5 firmware psp
All I see is the wavy text and no picture. I have the 2.8 firmware. I put it under photo under its own folder. Anyone?
don(254)
u are supposed to see the text, and thats it…
stop asking :D
Damn, there are quite some idiots here. I got it to run on my 2.80 PSP although it has some issues, I sometimes get a black wave going up and down through the text, or black flicker, sometimes it shuts my psp off, but this only happens when I run it and I don’t have a UMD in the PSP. This is great news for the PSP-homebrew community, it might take a while before a good loader gets out, but it will be worth the wait.
2.71 downgrader to come out at midnight check the forums for more info
LOOZERS
hes right. Why don’t you guys go out and get a life?
ELOADER !! I NEED ELOADER!!! … “just give it time” who the fuck ru ? “just give it time” lol o ok hes my physiatrist now why do you people like even talk to eachother on a goddamn forum?????? CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME! im confused. the code came out that is a start to something! idiots.
.DAVE

LOOZERz

oh well seems have to wait until it is released without errors.. otherwise will have a brick using any beta versions.
Please hackers you can do it…
Great work!!! I have a TA-082 fw 2.60, I really appreciate this next step you have taken. I like the symbolism of “Hello World” as the first distribution proving your success.
I+OMG THIS IS A HUGE STEP FOR PSP FIRMWARE 2.80
@ 264 and anyone else who is going on about waiting for e-loader, can you just STFU about it! they will tell you when its done, so you dont need to post stupid fucking comments :D
Figh Fight :]
@267 hey i am jus trying to elaborate that users like me without homebrew totaly are dependent to the hackers success and jus trying to show them that there are a lot of people that require this to work for them.
I know that they will tell us when its done, by giving my comment above will surely give the hackers a sign that yes there are a lot of people depending on them andso that they wouldn’t forget or abandon us.
if nobody comments then they wouldn’t feel the need to bring out this eloader as people can wait as long as they want.
i gues hackers are gifted ppl and they work best under presure to bring something even better so that we can be shocked and give them all the support.
i didnt mean no offence by my previous comment. so u should STFU!!
@269
lol, nope i aint going to STFU :)
well obviously there is a demand for it, but its just how people say it! its like people expect it to be released literally 10 minutes after the exploit has been found.
you gotta see where im coming from, you cant expect a hacker to have everything done right after an exploit has been found…
“hey i am jus trying to elaborate that users like me without homebrew totaly are dependent to the hackers success and jus trying to show them that there are a lot of people that require this to work for them.”
meh, im on 2.8, but i dont go round screaming “WHERE IS E-LOADER?????”
cool..
well we know have the eloader 0.98 ‘porter’ but in user mode. woho
any idea what happened to undiluted platinum? there was alot of hype about that, but it seems to have been forgotten :|
