Sweet Action Jackson!
very interesting
YESSSSSSSSS 20TH POST!#@$&^^
Does no download mean that it’s only for professional developers, or it’s just not out yet? I sure as hell hope its public; because I would LOVE to see what people come up with.
I dont know, but I would love to see how far people will be willing to push the envelope with this thing, in terms of creating games so messed up and offensive you couldnt possibly buy them in a store. thats what im waiting for. i want to see games like GTA, except with no lines drawn on things like pets and handicapped people. that would totally rock
how about we creat a game with handicaped peole who go around in there eletric wheel charis and blow the crap out of people like you insted.
just becasue some one is handicaped it dosnet meen they are any less of a person.
Does your horrible spelling make you less of a person?
wow, that’s some kickass dev tool!!
no offense, but i didnt enjoy that site at all. the video was cool, but when i went to the site I found myself lost in corporate hell. site’s like that always kind of bother me, because there’s no download link or any kind of ‘buy it’ button for this product. is this thing even available to the general public or do you have to be a developer licensed through Sony to obtain it?
that is da bomb!!!! where can i get that at!!!?????!!!!!!!?????!?
coming soon to torrent…
????????????????????
HAHHAHA, yea…..um Google is your friend, so is torrentz.com
It’s for professional developers. Notice the thick black cord on the back of the PSP unit, it’s a dev unit.
do you work for them?
No, but we develop for the psp :)
why isnt the average person allowed to use developer tools? that really bothers me
Cindy,
Any programmer with a lick of spit and some C/C++ can write programs for the PSP. All thats need are the PSPSDK from ps2dev.org and a 1.5 PSP. Granted it’s not kosher by Sony’s standard, but that’s how I got started before I got my current job. There’s tons of resources and sample code to show you how to do just about anything.
PSP_DEV
what is with that site i cant find the download link or anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it is for sony only.
No, you can find it on public torrent trackers as well.
so yea its nice where the hell do we get it ? :/
its probably a basic command program it has a flowchart on the bottom why wuld it display a flowchart unless thouse are the basic commands like “jump,get points, if you get points WIN”
:/ kinda of a downer if you put it that way no ?
Well it is cool… i hope it can come to our devs. but it just goes to show you how much sony was holding the psp back!
how was sony holding it back, they dont make many of the games, they just publish them.
From virtools.com:
“We’re now looking demonstrating our newly available solutions for the “PSP®” to studios and interested in high quality titles developed smarter,” says Virgile Delporte, vice electronic entertainment for Virtools.”
This devtool is for licensed Sony PSP developers only. Sorry guys.
can i buy it off u guys?
I could pay u guys $300 to $500.
Never mind microsofts better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just kidding!!!!!!!!!! i say sony and microsoft are about the same.
Yeah thats fucking Awesome.
wat firmwares does it run on?
ITs FOr SONY DEVS ONlY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, it’s actually out on torrent trackers.
13 days untill christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3 days till chanukkah
were do i download this
its for anybody i think but it costs $9500 so i dont think its for your average person
thats about the same price as Workbrain. that whole 10,000 dollar software thing is bullshit. i think software developers are turning towards that price as a standard fee for big business software because they know they will have companies willing to pay that much.
Nice! But where the hell is a download link?! :(
No download link yet.
that looks awesome
it better mean the begining of lots of good games
i give it around 1 month for it to be at least on torrent… or maybe some p2p programs…
lol…
it wont matter if you dont have that special cable it uses. thats why its ‘for developers only’
looks very interesting but even if it went out for us, it would be pretty dificult to program it without some manuals… at least for who doesnt have any 3d programing xp lime me
FUCKIN AWESOME!
OMG! I think I just found a torrent about it! Cant post links but this is how the torrent is named. DASSAULT.SYSTEMES.VIRTOOLS.V4.0-EDGEISO_[LINK REMOVED...sry cant post it]
Is that it? I got it just in case. =/ Its probably something else but I think its worth a shot. ^_^ Im getting it!
…never mind…its 5oo bytes…couldnt possibly be it. *sigh*
Looks promising for the devs.
im sure tht on the whole internet, sum 1 will post a trial version or sumthing… search google…i hope sumbody duz b/c this kicks ass!
look ITS NOT AVAILABLE to THE PUBLIC!!
What ever happened to the other development tools?
They were made so developers could make 3D homebrew, but I’ve only seen around 2-3 3D homebrew games…
This will be the third set of tools hopefully when it gets released and cracked people will actually use it…
this thing looks awesome…i really wanna see how far people are willing to push this thing….hell! the games may even be better than current psp games…..who knows!!
never
thats pretty nasty not gonna lie i can see some nasty 3d games comin out
wtf ur nast BITCH!
I MEANT NASTY BTW
You’re a fuckin spaz
They got this on Demonoid!!!!!!!!
Those demos look better than about 75% of the stuff out now IMHO… but probably because there wasn’t a lot going on.
I found something: http://down.cd/info_2004.html
Meh thats just VNC in game mode. Trying to trick you guyses.
aahha
it’s funny, because the second game featured in the video looks better than some of the on shelf games these days.
this could be used like homebrew to get 64 full speed
torrents.to
lol search torrentspy its there
This looks fuckin Savage!!!

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Dassault Systemes Virtools v4.0.0.26
The Virtools 4 Life Platform ushers in a unique solution for pervasively
developing and deploying 3D experiences on personal computers, game
consoles, Intranets and the web, demonstrating Dassault Systemes
commitment to bringing the power of 3D to all user communities.
The open-ended architecture of Virtools 4 supports a wide variety of 3D
formats. 3D Content Capture plugins support most commonly used DCC
software formats (3ds Max, Maya, XSI, Lightwave, Collada) for importing
and exporting 3D XML files, making real-time 3D technology easily
available.
Now based on the new Product-Context-Scenario (PCS) paradigm, Virtools 4
allows users to imagine, share and experience highly interactive 3D
content. This new paradigm represents a highly intuitive means of
capturing the 3D experience and easily mapping product behavior, along
with contextual environment scenarios.
With PCS, the Virtools 4 Life Platform enables easy development of
virtual experiences such as driving, shopping, product use, maintenance
and marketing tests.
Virtools 4 also extends the range of target environments for deploying 3D
experiences: Microsoft Windows and Apple MacOS computers, Microsoft Xbox
and Sony PSP game consoles, Intranets via 3D Office and 3D XE Players,
Internet via the 3D Life Player, as well as immersive environments via
the VR Library.
This broad scope highlights the diversity of potential deployment options
and provides a large range of communities with a powerful solution to
create and experience life content.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unrar, Burn or mount with Daemon Tools.
2. Use our keygen in the CRACK dir to generate a Serial and License file.
3. Enjoy!
PS. We are aware that if you select only the “Multiuser Server” install
item it will complain, it was that way on the original DVD too,
however it is installed as part of an full normal Virtools install,
and it is enabled in the License file.
We are a new group, dedicated to quality and not quantity, more info coming!
Many times we’ve walked the line, longing for the other side…
…So we pack our bags and ride into the sunset
We don’t know where we’re gonna go but that don’t matter at all
We’re gonna do it our way and we don’t change for no one
Cause we’re living on the EDGE and we got nothing to lose…
BTW
BTW, will 2.81+ be able to use this or only homebrw people?
where did you get this
To the poster above, stop your fucking bullshit, v4 isnt available on torrents, you can download v3 though and its 613.91 MB ( 643727168 bytes) so fuck knows why v4 needs a DVD
“SIZE……….16 x 50MB”
lieing Bstard
actually im pretty sure v4 is out there. and torrents suck you faggot so he could have gotten it from somewhere else. i dont get any of my shit from torrents, but i bet i still have a better selection than you. and no i dont use stupid kazza limewire bullshit.
hey retards, the one above, i downloaded it, installed it, and am going to be releaseing a homebrew i made on it very shortly. so all you retards who say it doesn’t exist, SHUT THE FUCK UP
It is actually out im downloading it right now its 737.26mb and it is out on torrents
v4 is avaliable, im downloading now
what version does this run on?
its not going to do you any good to copy it…if you dont have that developer’s cable.
Does anyone knows what’s the name of the music track that we hear in this video?
Thanks all!
i think greg or paul should put up a note saying its for developers and not downloads etc etc
stop the confusion ppl!
Well I almost have it and its 750mb and I hope it works its off a good site so we will see I will tell everybody if it works its from a torrent site call Oink and its a invite only torrent site lets hope its the real deal
is it hosted on oink? i have an account too :D
maybe an armadillo run a port on the psp…
ahhh… extrame physics
http://www.armadillorun.com/
plz help how do i unbrick my psp plz plz plz
depends if youre running 2.71-SE or not.
the BEST thing (not the easiest or cheapest) is to get a mod-chip, because it has a secondary flash which can run many things, including other firmware or unbricking utilities.
very nice video and really shitty website
i have the program, anyone want? i can give u links to get it…just email me…
i want it, but wuts yer email?
LOL at the fact that 50 people asked the same questions over and over. But seriously, I’m sure someone will eventually hack this so we can just mount it to an ISO without that developers cable. Until then, just calm down. lol
woot lets make fps’s now!!!!!!
Im not so much into psp homebrew although I would like to admit that that was pretty jaw dropping… Im more into downgraders and exploits like my new beta…. it will be realeased on I believe From Christmas to June…… For all you that are wondering its a 3.00 homebrew enabler exploit and my other project that will really come in handy….. an UNBRICKER without a modchip.(No Epsilon)
wow thats pretty cool i want it
I think PSP wont have the ability to render such graphics as shown in the video. It just stream the data from the PC and the one who’s doing the rendering job is the PC… That’s why there’s a black cord behind the PSP! (my assumption only)
the graphics weren’t that great and it could easily run that with it at clock 333mhz
Please !!!
Does anyone knows what’s the name of the music track that we hear in this video?
no, the song sucks.
i can make those noises with my mouth and it sounds almost the same.
try it.
Could this be an older version
Meh , I will just stick to making games on 360 with their XNA stuff …
So i found the version some of the guys here have been talking about on demonoid. I’ll let you guys know if its actually worth it and if it is, i’ll…do somehting to make it easier to download. ^^
that work for you guys?
(oh, that cable bit can be overcome too. But one step at a time…)
that work for you guys?
btw…the video in this post, um…in the beginning when he’s playing the game with the ship. uh, his finger movements don’t seem to be corolating with the gameplay. but maybe its jus me? anyone?
This is cool. Like the many above comments, I hope this can be hacked n watever n we can see sum really good games that WE like, not websites like…yeah. Quick question tho, where is that cable connected? Cuz is its streaming, I dont see it connected, unless its connected in the back sumwhere.
To Team Edge:
Can you say Happy Christmas and Hi to Bonio for me?
Love
Kenny
that is gay
sorry, wrong thread. I take that back….
errmmmm u sure this is not just fake
Well I now have this program but its not a easy one but this program is more for a pro game maker it came with everything you need the key and the licence so it works but i can’t get it to do anything yet
Where is he url for downloading he prog??
just my opion, but it’s a fake! you can “request” this program from the website which seems a bit fishy. a bit strange seeing all you have do to is give all your pesonal info to them!
so wen you use this program on your pc, you are emulating psp games, maybe some one might turn this into a psp emulator
haha, that just reminded me of ask a spartan(Halo 2 machinmics) “For those of you stupid ones out there, emulate is a fancy word for … Steal”
Yes it looks really good for the psp system.
But is it for pspdevs or offical psp game makers
and if its for pspdevs where can i get a copy, to make my own games &-).
cancel this post i read a bit ferther up and found that its only for sony devs my bad
Oh and “haha” STFU its about time there was a real forward push on the emulators nowadays
i hope they do make a psp emu because it probably would be easier to make psp homebrews then .
still retard you can’t blame sony for the games they dont make. sony seems to get all the hate when it comes to the games part and yea i agree they should just allow emus but hmm i dunno i mean that cant be bad for business or anything.
oops wrong “haha” lol
Oh shit! I and my team will surely try to put up something good with this engine!
Thats absolutly great. Im into game devolepment and i would love to have this! Where can i get it? :)
Best regards Johnnsen
Bit late for this now, PSP is DOOMED i\’m selling mine.
Happy Christmas
lol, what makes you say that?
i dont see how it is doomed
Great piece of software. its a pity though its only for licenced developers……..
……. guess what. i found version 4.0 torrent :)
check the fuckin url it works ffs!
Installing it now with licenced key :P
i want to purposefully develop a game this gives people seizures…THAT would be cool
can this downgrade 3.02???
jkjkjk
hahahaha found it clear on a torrent site:
called “Virtools Dev 3.5″ its 265 mb but the health is low…i wont bother dling
um that is the wrong one, this app is virtools v4
I will be sure to try this out….see if anything can become from it….
Looks a lot like the same engine used to make Killzone: Liberation…
Dudes, you can go to the official site of virtools and then download a plugin for mozzila or IE and play games kinda like flash (game in a web browser) . It is AMAZING however, i googled the VIRTOOL PSP DEV and i read about how the prices are gonna be sky-high. and if you compare the price ( probably around $5000) , its not really worth it to have the internet swarmed with ****tard games full of bugs just cause of the 3d thing.
YOUR ALL BLIND! (whell, most of you)
THIS IS NEXT GEN SOFTWARE FOR HIGH TECH SYSTEMS.
THIS IS MACROMEDIA FLASH, BUT WITH A WHOLE NEW DIMENTION AND COMPUTER-GENERATED GEOMETRY!!!
MACROMEDIA FLASH- AN OLD VERSION RETAILS FOR LIEK 500 US DOLLARS.
THIS IS WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAYYYYYYYY BEYOND FLASH.
NOT EVEN REALEASED YET!!!
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AND WHAT DO YOU GET,
YOU ENDING UP SELLING YOUR HOUSE.
AND SELLING ALL YOUR DRUGS and your neighbours drugs – and cars – and house.
BUT WHEN YOU FINNALY AFFORD THE SOFTWARE, YOU DONT HAVE NO COMPUTER TO USE CAUSE YOU SOLD IT TO GET TEH SOFTWARE.
And thats the truth that $ony dosent want to tell you.
If your not smart enough to find it,your prolly not smart enough to use it.
If you’ve found it,use it and give everyone something to smile about.
$ony needs a good kick in the jewels.
I’ve gotten the file, would you like a link to the file? Cause the torrent is taking forever for some reason. Its on Demonoid ad I’ve said before, but I can sendspace it or something? Won’t bother unless Its actually wanted. Btw, am i allowed to link it and such on here? Or would that be breaking any rules or anything?
Kudou could u plz upload dat would be kwl tnks!
Just google the torrent, i did it last night and found 3 legit ones on the first try, well they seemed legit going by the comments about the name and size etc, v4 is out there, google is your friend.
Def has my interest, anyone who has d/led it got any opinions on it? I understand tho without documentation twould be pretty hard to use.
Cool!
That shit looks awesome, can’t wait to try it out. :D
what about help files they usually have a basic tutorial
and the torrent is going hell of a fast at the moment. 479kB/s not bad.
Why is that torrent link to virtools catogorized as “TV” shouldn’t it be an APP like virtools 3 is?
how do i get the programs on psp?
what exactly is this??
Can anyone name this song on here :P been looking about and quite annoyed at not being able to find it, I would post my own posts, But 1 greg keeps beating me to it and 2 I cant remember my login info :P
This program is a bitch to evne install for me, the license is crazy, by that i mean i have the code it installs, then it ask about how long your borrowing the code…its some fucked up shit…
STOP RIGHT THERE! IF YOU ARE TALKING OF ILLEGAL THINGS, DONT!
[b]Stop now![/b]
Phils right,the reason we can have a site like this is that none of this is illegal to have,but is veery illegal to use.
so talk about it,but not where to get it,or how to “use” it.
I love this site.Hate to see it shut down cause of some noob with a runny mouth.
WHAT YOU ALL need to understand is that virtools 4.0 is available from multiple TORRENT TRACKERS. people try to tell you, but you dont even listen… so for future reference….YOU CAN TORRENT VIRTOOLS .4!!!
Looks realy realy cool! Shut the f*ck up Phil!
sounds great, i have just installed it, will see what i can do with this shit :)
i’ve installed virtools, and its working,.. not very easy to use,.. but luckily there are tutorials and demo games in the virtools directory( its always fun to mess arround with this stuff :P ).
And for all the people who need help finding and installing it,… dont bother to search any further,… cause if thats already to difficult then im sure you dont understand shit from this app anyway :P
btw,… Phill what the hell are you doing here on this site if your against anything thats not totaly legal,…. i dont know if you can read, its PSP-HACKS.COM. and im sure you have some illegal software on your pc,… and your a lying asswhipe if you deny that,… GREETS me
is it possible to download that sick thing ??
Well, sendspace only has 300meg limit on file uplods. the ISO for this is 700 megs. Anyone know a good place to upload to for this high a file?
I really don’t want to split it into three files with winrar or something…-__-;
Well i have that program and the license [what i say is inv.]
All i need is a programmer, and no buttonfixer cuz i am a buttonfixer. Go Rockman Go!
Anyways, IHX 2 is announced!!!
I work here fool, Im a member of staff… so dont talk to me like that, I disagree on ripping things you pay for yes, However, emulators i download yes, BUT Ill only download a game if i already own it on a console. So shut up… and grow up fools! would be a real shame to see PSP-Hacks shut down.
Please note that this is for multiple responses.
————————————
We all already know that everything is pirated. You want it? Go get it. Thats the rules now. You don’t even get arrested for it.
I do not encourage this, but it is the easiest way to get these kinds of things (major company-only software). Either get the $3,000-$100,000 for these for get the pirated version.
Virtools 4 is so hard to use I don’t suggest getting the pirated version anyway. And yes, don’t get pirated content if you can go to the store to buy it, that is just plain lazy.
—————————————-
Oh, and Phil, it does sound like you are just a plain user. Saying that you need to get your account back on, and that once you upload, no-one can say that you don’t do anything but download. Admins don’t lose thair accounts, unless they delete it themselves, and Admins don’t have to upload to get the Admin abilities. Plus, the Admins don’t insult the users like you do.
“So shut up… and grow up fools!”
——————————–
This software is only avaliable to developers because of how sony wants to kill the source of any importers of the hardware, and any homebrew developers, because they don’t want people to design their own games for the PSP because they won’t get the money for it. This is because in todays society, all companies want is money. If they won’t get lots of money from a product, they don’t want it.
Ok,.. the reason i made a comment like that is that i thought you where just a guy trying to anoy people. sorry if i offended you,. (but indeed it would be a real shame to see psp-hacks shut down.) but that will not happen as long as people dont make comments where they say how they get there illegal stuff. keep on the good work,.. and again sorry. (btw sorry i cant growup, im already 21,.. im from the netherlands and i type english like a 12 yr old person)
I can be a bastard sometimes,.. sorry, that just my nature
I don’t believe Phil has anything to do with this site other than downloading from it.
Can someone tell em where to get a Crack, License and what not for this?? i got it installed i just need a license! please help! ill pay if it works! add me on msn
ddarricau@hotmail.com
FAKE!!!! THIS CRAPPY PROG BLOWN MY PSP UP AND KILLED MY SISTER!!!! OMG!!!
I KNEW IT!
It was a secret plot to get back at all those pirating users out there by sony. They knew we would download it, they knew we would try to work it by connecting it to the PSP. THEY KNEW! AHHHH! ITS OVER!
….and now i’m done. lol.
btw, i’m failing to see where the cable hooks up to this. Anyone? I’m running the program ^^ its actually pretty interesting. But now…if i had a clue what kind of cable it used, I might be able to create a virtual connection to copy that. o_o;
developers are gay
wow ,.. how long did it take ya to make up such a funny comment! (sarcasm)
go away lil’ boy
very impressive. if i could make games or new code. i’d look for this to play with.
Ehm, Crash_Breakdown, Let me remind YOU that I do post here too, Infact i work here, so if i were you id keep your head down for a while…
Code_Hax
Let me be a reminder, When i successfully get my account back for this site, I am going to post new files up here, and if you then say that i have nothing to do with this site other then download from it, ill ban you… understand?
Whats the point of showing us this video if we cant get the software? i mean thats just plain stupid.
Even if you download it nothing can be made for psp, for it requires the full SDK to compile anything for psp… and no one has that. It is a dev only program. And for any dumbshit who thinks you can make psp games with this is a fuckin’ tard. Only 1/2 of the sony psps sdk was thrown into the public, too bad that’s not enough to make a game for it.
I think that being able to easily develop homebrews for PSP would actually convince people once and for all that it’s much better that the DS, and seeing this software really made me think it would finally be possible.
After a few searches, I found out that yes, Virtools 4 is downloadable by torrent, but that the crucial PSP module is only available one request to the company…so not much chance for the moment…
As for the DevKit, I don’t actually see one in the video, so I don’t think you actually need one, although I might be wrong…
To finish, I don’t think it’s an unreleased, advanced version of Flash, because my up-to-date PSP can’t run some of the flash animations and games you find everyday online.
where can i get this program? I know C/C++ but thairs only 1 problem if its only for pros im 15
