Homebrew Enabler for FW 2.71

greg | September 22, 2006

*Whistles the MacGyver theme song*

With only the required necessities: a computer, Playstation Portable, skills, and a large brain; Dark_AleX has managed to figure out a way in launching homebrew via the 2.71 user interface (the XMB). To be more precise, I’ll just quote the included README.TXT:

This program enables homebrew to be run in 2.71 through the XMB. It makes a patch that remains permanent until hardware reset. Sleep mode won’t remove the patch.

Note: this program writes some small files in the flash, ONLY the first time is executed. IT does NOT rewrite any existing file in the system, it writes new files, so the probabilities of bricking are practically null.

Currently standard homebrew is not supported because they’re compiled in static ELF format. Homebrew for 2.71 will need to be PRX formatted. All the technical knitty-gritty details for programmers, as well as instructions on setup/installation/usage, are detailed in README.TXT.

Samples are provided in the “GAME” directory. And as for the future — static ELF support may be possible.

Download: Homebrew Enabler for 2.71

lol hell no it don’t #2 but it does mean ppl with T-082 mobo’s can use homebrew w/o worrying about downgrading but it’s gotta be special formatted apparently.

Good news for T-082 peeps!

to #2: No way!!!

Good job Dark_Alex. I immediately knew when i read it that there had to be a catch, and there it was. Im talking about the Only prx loading thing ;)
Maybe someday there will be a way to convert PBP to prx? Stupid idea i know but anyway, good job! Keep up the good work m8 ;)

to be honest i dont care. but it is good for all those 2.71 psp owners out there. mine is 1.5 and devhooked. it is in my opinion still best to have a 1.5 but for the more disadvantage ta 082 owners or the stupid idiots it is a big thing. dark alex yet again shows he is a genius just like me.

gives me so much confidence in the programmers and hackers out there. speaking as a 2.80er, i just cant wait til the dg comes. waiting as patiently as ever to re-join the winning 1.50 team!!!

@22 you’re a dumbass! You’re stupid to have updated to 2.8 and now demand a devhook for 2.8! Be grateful for what the developers give u. If this is of no use to you, then stfu! Btw, Dark_Alex did not create devhook. If you badly need one, then use your brain and create one!

Well,25 what the fuck are you doing giving bad opinions
and 24 its a true history from a lot of players.
Like me that wen i buy my psp i had the great 1.5 frm
but i dint know nothing about to add homebrews and then i upgraded to 2.6,then i buy the gta and then an accident happened,i broked this.
Then i upgraded my psp to 2.7 because of locoroco demo and the i upgraded this for the stuped soccer game,i know am not the onlyone with this history or something like this

Comment by number23
2006-09-22 19:40:26

@29, updating to 2.8 is a personal decision and i have nothing against that. what pisses me off are people who DEMAND software/crack/updates. For one, these software are free and we should be thankful to those generous developers who spent a lot of time and effort to provide us with these software/cracks/updates. We should be grateful for guys like Dark_Alex (the brain behind the 2.5/2.6 downgrader) who created and shared these wonderful stuff for us . Its very annoying to have people like loser george whining in forums and demanding software like he paid a thousand dollars to those developers. these ungrateful people should be gunned down!

Comment by CrUmp
2006-09-22 21:05:38

JC and all 2.8 users you guys just have to wait because for some reason u got a 2.8 it’s either u bought your psp too late when lower version are replaced or u just upgraded your psp without thinking it through. but anyway when those ppl who bought their psp where no iso loader in the world. guess what they do well as for me i waited too just like what u’re doing right now so blam no one about why u got a 2.8 and i got an 1.5 and just wait i’m sure some day there will be an iso loader for 2.8.

btw this is just a POC so no one knows when the real thing will be published, maybe tomorrow, maybe next month.

and PLEASE tell me what a hardware reset is

 
Comment by llk
2006-09-22 23:56:42

yes it works with ta-082

and hardware reset just means turning off your psp and turning it back on. so if you want the xmb loader to still work you will have to sleep your psp instead.

I think i can speak for everyone and say great work guys. You keep making many people’s lives easier step by step. I really appreciate the time and willpower you guys dedicate to us. I just can’t believe you are giving all of this away for free. I absolutley can’t wait till you guys crack 2.8. And i say that like a fact because i know you guys can do it. You really can. And when the time comes, you will have done the community a huge favor. Keep up the good work.

first of all, good work, second, for all those people with 2.81 fm its now time to test your patience, I got the same problem when I updated my psp (recent bought and did not know anything about the homebrew and cool stuff) to 2.71; the month, 5 days and 7:31 hours of waiting for a downdater were the most long of all xD.

so… as @33 said before, we should be thankfull or start programing our own downdater (good luck, if you get it, post it xD)

Adios

For TA-082 owners. I wouldn’t touch a damn thing, until something concrete is released. Just stick with what firmware you have right now.

Comment by Azumandias
2006-09-23 09:09:24

I have a TA-082 and was twiddling my thumbs for some time. Then I saw this and waited like a coward, hoping some other TA-082 owner would test it first. Then Seink came forward with his own problems and put me to shame. If I want to be a part of this homebrew world, I realized I had to grow a pair and try it myself. Well, I ran the HEN about 5 times, getting freezes, black screens, and yes, a blue screen, but no green! Then, like magic, it happened. I got a green screen and was in. I was able to play the polyphonic program and let me tell you, nothing could have sounded sweeter.

Then I thought I would go for the big guns and run the Trumd from Train2335 (found at http://www.deviantpsp.com) but unfortunately that isn’t quite working yet (at least for me, please don’t let that stop you from trying it though).

So to sum up, I have a TA-082 2.71 and was able to get Dark_Alex’s HEN working. I also tested the hard reboot and had to go through another 3/4 cycles to get it to run again, but then I was back in. Seink, my advice to you is to keep running the HEN until you see the green screen. It will happen, just keep at it.

My sincere and deepest thanks go out to Dark_Alex and all those who brought us to this day.

My Stats:
US PSP TA-082 2.5>2.6>2.71
Working 2.71 HEN from Dark_Alex (cube and polyphonic tested and working)

Comment by cadaber
2006-09-23 16:57:23

so what is this? is it JC’s personal complaint thread
it looks like every other comment is by him asking about 2.8.

and the rest of the fucks on here with the exception of a very few must be retarded or i guess maybe somehow a bunch idiots learned to type but never learned to read.

does this mean iso’s will work?
answer : no this alone will not make iso’s work

is this for 2.8?
answer : no, read the post before you comment

why is everything for 2.0 – 2.71?
answer : lower firmwares are easier to write hacks for because of less security making it easier to find cracks in the firmwares also 2.8+ doesnt use the exact same exploits

will this work on my gameboy?
answer : WTF!! your retarded

what is asap?
answer : are you kidding? AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

why cant i overclock game speeds on other fw?
answer : as far as i know you need a program like devhook to change the cpu clock speed, programs like that require “kernel access” which is currently only available in 1.5 but is being developed for the higher firmwares as we speak

should i upgrade my 1.5?
answer : no not at this time. currently most homebrew is geared toward the 1.5 and upgradeing now would limit what you can do as far as homebrew is concerned

will this work in devhook with 2.71 emulated on a 1.5?
answer : probaly yes, im at work and cant test this yet but most things of this nature can be tested in devhook emulating 2.71

what is a hard reset?
answer : a hard reset is when you hold teh power switch up until the green light stops flashing, meaning when you turn your psp on again it starts up fresh.

what is the difference between hard reset and sleep?
answer : sleep mode is basiclly like pause-ing it but the battery also shuts off. to enter sleep mode tap the power switch up for just a split second

will this work on 2.70 ?
Answer : possibly because they have very similiar security checks, but the post did say 2.71 and dark alex is always very detailed in his posts. so i must say no at this time but if u gott the bullets give it a try

why not make avirus that deletes all firmwares and forces the psp to think it is 1.0 -9.99?
answer : firmwares are more than just a number that says what version you have, every thing your psp does is controled by firmware, to delete it all would create a bricked psp, as for tricking firmware a program called x-flash already does that, and its nothing speacial, just tricking it doesnt give you the function of the actual firmware

no one cares about 2.71, do 2.8 cause it has more features
TRUTH: 2.8 only has one different feature and that feature is high capacity memory stick support(greater than 4gb) and since you cant even buy a memory stick that is bigger than 4gb what is the actual point to it. also the new version of devhook will provide you with these added features once it is released

okay now that should take care of all the stupid questions and make room for legitimate questions about this post

REALLY LEARN TO READ YOU FUCKIN NOOBS!!!

You idiotic 2.8 users who keep asking stupid shit about downgraders, iso loaders, devhooks.. what the fuck are you thinking? Do you see one out? Do you personally know anyone making it? No. Neither do we. Quit asking for that shit. If I was a programmer, I wouldn’t make shit for you retards who keep demanding shit because you were foolish enough to upgrade. Way to be a dumbass, 2.8 users. Like I said, I hope nothing ever comes out for it besides Snake.. what, Pong? Coming out with a 2.5 2.6 downgrader was good enough to help the 1.5 community expand. I wouldn’t give a shit if they made homrbew like NES emu’s, Genesis Emu’s, and shit like that for 2.8’s, but NOT downgraders or ISO loaders. Many people downgraded with their 2.5’s-2.6’s, you 2.8 users are just ants at a picnic.

there stupid, who cares about 2.71? You had to upgrade to get a 2.71 anyways. So, why worry about that? Store brands already had 2.8 in them, so try to fix that first you dumb smucks

 
Comment by cadaber
2006-09-23 20:51:48

@ fuckthem
do you understand what needs to be accomplished in order to hack 2.8+?

i think if you did then you would relize that it is physically impossible right now to hack 2.8+ with anything worth-while because it dosent have enough “kenal mode” access

also if you understood the hacking process you would know that any advancements made on 2.71 will allow people to eventually make advancements with 2.8+

check out http://www.portpsp.com

they have a hack on there for a program called TRumd which supposedlly allows isos to run on 2.71
its in the testing stages but seems to be doing well altough iso’s do freeze randomally its just amazing that iso’s are on 2.71

jgkilla i think your gettin a bit ahead of yourself you test a basic program which will allow homebrew to be ran from the xmb even though theres no homebrew for it yet because it has to be in prx format and suddenly your sayin 1.5 is dethroned lol get real im not sayin this isnt good progress because it is but its about 100 years away from dethroning 1.5 and if it ever did lol then it would be no problem because all us users with 1.5 could just update to 2.71 and besides if 1.5 was really gonna be overthrown then people wouldnt continue working on downgraders or devhook sorry to piss on your fireworks jgkilla but 2.71 is still pretty useless for now
