PSPgo Save Game (User Mode) Exploit
greg | October 3, 2009
What a lovely surprise to wake up to… No, not a stripper, I wish… I’m talking about FreePlay’s newest YouTube videos. YouTubers who are subscribed to FreePlay’s channel already know what they’re about to watch. Those who aren’t, well, have a gander at this:
And this one too… The PSP gets g0wned, accompanied by an awesome soundtrack.
FreePlay also mentions:
(Scratch some of that… You can read/write flash1)
No, it’s not going to lead to custom firmware, piracy, or a Pandora for the Go. It can’t write to flash0,
and it even seems to be unable to overwrite the system settings, which was always unblocked before on the older systems. It’s user-mode only.
Regardless — it’s something all right. Perhaps we’ll see more GO ‘brew sooner rather than later. And as always, good lookin’ out FreePlay.

YAY, an exploit.
Hopefully we’ll get something like the TIFF exploit for ChickHEN before long.
“No, not a stripper” Rofl!
Anyway, looks like good news. :)
Why does he keep moving the camera away. Just point the damn thing at the screen and do everything, otherwise im not believing it.
I guess to not show the game, which is lumines btw.
^ I think that might be stated somewhere.
Why the hell, did you just say that?
Wow…just wow.
Scratch that.
Glad it’s not Lumines.
If anyone finds out what it is…
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, say it.
This might be our only chance to crack this thing.
It’s inevitable Paradigm; someone’ll blurt it out eventually. ._.
But on a side note: LOL. PSPGo got owned.
lumines is not on the PSN Store. So how could he be running lumines?
/sarcasm tag will be used next time.
Haha.
This has to be some sort of record.
-high fives Freeplay-
-high fives greg for no reason at all-
word. -high fives back-
No you know you wanted to give Greg a high five because of the stripper comment ;-)
Yes. Yes I did.
OMG a Stripper!!!
no it’s just the psp go with ofw 5.70
/hides boner with his psp phat.
you can’t hide a boner with the
psp go but you can with the phatii
one more thing the(go)does not have
I say Sony will release 6.11 or 6.20 by next week or before November.
Seriously why is it whenever he’s doing something on the psp he moves it away so we cant see whats he running and
Wow! An exploit already, that was certainty fast.
man, that made my wkend…specially the ‘hello world’ vid. and on the 1st vid where he typed ” sorry sony….go=hacked” lol…….guess what I’m buying on my next payday……..
My benjamin says we’ll have some sort of CFW by the time holidays arrive.
Took longer to ‘hack’ the 3000.
I read somewhere DA is working on the ps3 and wont appear til he shows us something along the words “HELLO WORLD” ~sincerely Dark_AleX…FROM THE PS3!!!!!!!!!
Bullshit.
I belive dax just disapeared from the scene, just like before.
Maybe he will appear later.
He may, he may not.
But we still have some talented people in the PSP scene.
well said Paradigm!
but as for Dark_Alex, he never owes us anything, and could’ve stopped making CFW at 4.00M33
just my 2 cents ;)
DAX and team m33 are awsome, but DAX has been MIA for a while and his site has been down for a while suposedly for maintenance.
I hope im wrong but i think DAX my have decided to do things for him self just for fun and not actualy publicize his new CFW. who knows maybe he has done every CFW since 5.00 m33-6 but just kept them for whatever reason or maybe he just found better things to do with his time.
That’s what I’m thinking.
If he comes back, we’ll all greet him with open arms.
If he doesn’t…
Well, he was a pioneer.
We won’t soon forget him.
But we have great coders still here.
Still making the PSP better and better.
We can’t forget about them either.
I agree 100%
its jzt the typical user mode of the pspgo. idi0t! lol…
It does help when the exploit is already known :P And no, it’s not Lumines, or any other game with a public exploit.
BTW, the bit about “it even seems to be unable to overwrite the system settings” isn’t true – my code was just glitchy. You can read/write flash1 just fine.
And as for why I’m not showing the screen: I’m trying to KEEP SONY FROM PATCHING THIS, so I don’t what them to know what game it is. I even say this in the video -_-
Thanks.
I was hoping that was the reason.
Glad you’re smarter then ChickHEN.
Exactly. I’m glad ur smart and not an idiot with ur videos man.
sorry my stupidity here, but what exactly does “User Mode” means? from what i understood we can now execute “unwanted” code on the pspgo, doesn’t that mean we’ll eventually be able to run homebrew and stuff like that?
They’ve breached security level 1, allowing them to take over the game. Games are restricted from things that would be necessary for any HEN or CFW. For that they need to breach level 2 (kernel mode).
It makes sense not to reveal what game is being used, because if Sony patches it before they find a kernel-mode exploit, it won’t be much use. If I were them I wouldn’t have even announced it in public until I had both, but oh well.
Maybe homebrew, NOT piracy
Thats good and bad depending on what you want. Its good if you want to run apps like emulators and ect, bad if you want to play any games not on the psn ;)
Well even if you could run isos, it would be pointless in the sense I’m sure “GO” games are eboots.
But how hard would it be for someone to come up with a program that turns an iso into an eboot. Same principle as turning a PSX disk image into an eboot isn’t it? Correct me if I’m wrong. I may very well be;
There is always the choice of the end user, I would get the Go when it is cheaper, as of right now, only $50 more and you could buy a PS3 and it`s more expensive than a Wii or an Xbox 360, that isn`t worth it. Especially when you consider the pricing on most of these PSN games, it`s ridiculous. However, I do stand by the NO piracy thing.
The games are EBOOTs, but since there is a firmware addition for the older models, the flash0 is the same as the older models except for some additions. What I mean is, PSPGo, if given the correct stuff can read ISOs.
Oh snap!! Thats what im talking about. Emulators and homebrew. I think dax may be back for this.
Sony did a good job with the PSP GO this I see.
hm.. only if the ipl on both system worked then ta-088v3 and the go would team up in a cage match lol!!!
well i hope this leads to something….. if it does im going to toss all of my umd games in a pile and lite em on fire (lol) it was a post and smash my psp 2000 and get a psp go
that would be cool if this lead to a kernel exploit…. mabey a hen of temporary cfw…. or even better…. a real cfw
If this ever leads to something, maybe I’ll consider buying a pspGo.
some people may call you a pirate just because you are thinking of buying one just because they found an exploit. not me mind you just some people. I say go for it, this just proves that its little things like this that can cause anything from a slight to a huge jump in sales.
Matter of fact when the iluminati explit came out a long time ago that ran on the lumines game i read that the sales of that game that had already been out for a long time skyrocketed now get this something like 1400% in just a few days. if thats not profit for sony i dont know what is.
I bet you that prompted them to make a sequel.
actualy i think this whole thing went down well after the sequel was released, so just imagin how sony felt that all of a suden the original was selling way, way better then the sequel.
Alex I agree with you, this will most likely convince others to actually buy the Go now. Sony will benefit from this. Anyone who was afraid of purchasing a Go because of the price and not being able to hack it will start changing their minds and ACTUALLY buy it, in fact I’m already saving up for one. Good job FreePlay you’re the man keep up the good work.
@ Freeplay if you still read this
It is my belief that the data for the saved state of suspended games is stored in one of the flashes. Did you happen to notice or see anything after the dump to back this up?
If it’s stored in Flash1 then could something come out of modifying the saved state data and writing it back, and have the modifications executed when one chooses to resume the game?
That’s very clever I think you’re onto something big, but then again if the files are in flash1 how can they affect flash0? Hopefully someone can find a workaround for this.
WE MUST ALL COME TOGETHER MY BOTHERS AND HACK THE PSP GO FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. THE DAY OF RECKONING IS COMING TILL THAT DAY COMES,WE SHALL MAKE THE WORK THAT WILL COME WITH IT.
I LOVE YOUR WORK ON THE PSP GO KEEP IT UP Freeplay YOU GIVE US ALL HOPE DONT LET US DOWN.
AND LETS HOPE Dark_Alex COMES BACK FOR THE PSP GO,I HOPE HES DOING GOOD WEREEVER HE IS AT……
Any way we can vote weed smoker off the island?
lol how clever of him to see say he won’t release, is it just me or everyone been ‘played’?lol
Dude, if he releases it now, SONY will effin’ PATCH IT! He obviously doesn’t want that to happen. At least until this actually leads to bigger things. Please use your God damned head for once.
It’s a conspiracy dood! If they saw how freeplay did it they would see, obviously, that he gunned down JFK from the grassy knowl with a psp exploit.
Oh, and he used the soul of Jimmy Hoffa to do this, it’s not the psp saying “Hello World”. The psp obvs channeled the spirit of Hoffa. He’s lonely he was just saying “wuddup yo!”.
LOL :)
yo! you guys are fu#*ing hilarious. thats the funiest damn thing ive read in a while. HAHAHAHA.
(Channeling Elvis) Thank you, Thank You very much, now make me a pnut butter and nanner sandwich!
And to those talking crap about this exploit, well really, believe Freeplay. Why? Cause it’s Freeplay and not some other VSH editing faggot. No really, he’s been a great help to the scene, one of the elite developers really, so he’s 10000% trustable.
In the first video i thought well he says he turn off th sound and wont show the game menu so that sony cant patch it but i thought, hea that could have just been a picture he made in paint. and the second video, im stummped mabey a video made on pc played on psp? and what dose it mean firmware 6.10, isnt that the latest firmware anyway?
*coff coff* Douche *coff coff coff*
I understand you’re trolling and that I’m falling right into it but what do you even mean by “what dose it mean firmware 6.10, isnt that the latest firmware anyway?” ?
Here we go, let the battle begin.
First of all, if everyone is mature, ignore the idiot 2 comments up who’s name is ” ur gay ” he’s jus one of those idiots who want attention.
And…. Yes this exploit makes me really want to go out and get a psp GO because I really want cfw for It. Not so much for piracy, but for little things like cxmb. I’m one of those ppl who like to tweak the xmb all the time LOL
I’ll get one wen the price drops.
I got my psp 1000 wen it was like 200 and I still think it was worth it. But back then I didn’t even no wat cfw was lmao but now, I’ll get one wen the price drops a little bit.
Ps. I no this is totaly no0b and sorry, but can som1 jus leave a brief description to wat USER MODE means please?
what up dave i think that user mode means only external and flash11 operations, no flas0 which means for now no CFW or xmb changes. but give it time, this is how it all starts.
Ok. Well, I’m Amazed that an exploit was found this soon. I saw a comershall for psp GO being available, so I logged onto this site and saw tht an exploit was found ALREADY haha
And thnx for being a man about shit alex instead of a lil bitch like *some ppl*
comeon dude really dont start with that man, lets see some respect. this type of thing is what puts road blocks on the scene. if we get along more i know for a fact things in the scenen would be diffrent and we would get a lot more done. ok so with all due respect to you and your oppinion just tone it down a bit
Does your heart bleed like that much? lol
Sigh… People sometimes just don’t want to release anything, no matter what it’s source. FreePlay is one of the most respected people in the scene. Ever heard of the gripshift exploit? Who develloped an SDK for that?
This is real, and definately not a video. Yes, as many people point out this could have been faked, but I beleive beyond a doubt that it is real, because of its source.
Exactly, Gripshift exploit was suppose to hit before ChickHEN. O_o
Freeplay has alot of respect in the Homebrew Community and its about to get bigger.
There’s this really cool thing called spell check.
You should really check it out.
It’s totally free!
Jesus dickweed,
When you were a kid you hated parades right?
Let me get a tissue for your issue while I call the Whaaaambulance for your lame ass.
Don’t feed the trolls…
fuk this shit and fuk the psp go
PSP Go hacked.Sony i will fuck you. You will see. We don’t like sony. SIPP 2009
This is so stupid & lame. what good can come from this? nothing at all. so suck his junk over nothing, kids.
Wow, someone with a screen name that makes sense.
You would think you would have no problem sucking balls at this point.
Amiright or amiright?
Without Sony, we wouldn’t have the PSP Go!, nor would we have the PSP… so what are you saying? They make security for the same reason they make the bugs.
Otherwise, people wouldn’t buy the PSP if they knew it was as fool-proof as the 360. If homebrew existed for the 360, and it was easier than modding the firmware of the disc drive, all of us would be buying the 360, then. But it’s not.
Sony created the PSP to be hacked, that way people like us would buy it. Why do you think they allowed talk of homebrew on their forum for the longest time? They deleted ISO threads but allowed homebrew and PSP mod threads because it boosted their sales when people would see how easy it is to mod a PSP.
They had to remove talk of homebrew for legal issues, not because they actually WANTED to. They WANT the PSP hacked. I’m sure Dark_Alex probably still got hints from within the company of what to do next. It’s all fairness. Sony gave more than enough chances to hack a PSP.
Finally, this is real. Don’t be stupid. And you assholes out there who caused Dark Alex to leave should feel ashamed. You people are electronically worse than those city-outskirt lowlives.
I hope I said enough here.
Also, I apologize. I am not trying to be a troll here (it certainly looks like it). I am trying to actually make the dumbasses think for once.
I believe you to an extent.
Reminds me of 4chan.
That place is riddled with suicides, child pornography, and some messed up shit.
If “Moot” the webmaster didn’t like it, it would be gone before it was posted.
you are right about a lot of things but the 360 has been hacked for a while now.
I have a request for Yoshihiro, that I think alot of us would greatly appreciate.
If you want it, let it be known.
A safer Fatmsmod.prx compatible with GEN.
That’s the only complaint I have with GEN FW, no Memory Stick speed-up.
that right! gen didn’t work on that part of their cfw. Nice 1 paradigm! that’s d only useful stuffs u posted! lol… :P
If you have a request for Yoshi then go to pspgen and post it. You’re just as lame as piphus on here. You talk loads of shit about absolutely nothing Paradigm.
I am working.
What have you done for the homebrew community?
I’m trying to convert the Peace Walker demo into an iso, then use the Decrypter to get it running.
Good for you kid.
When I hear someone else blow that horn you have pressed to your lips I’ll give you credit.
Until then you’re just another overly self opinionated ass wipe.
Keep trolling buck wheat. We see what you really are.
BTW, you efforts aren’t needed. I’m already playing pspminis without having to have used EBOOT2ISO.
Again, before you open your mouth remember there are others out here who do not wish to use a nick so fucks like you can guess who we are.
You have a long way to go kid. I’ve been programming since 1974.
Other than skinning your dick to manga, what have you done?
Proof or gtfo.
Comments are being deleted left and right. So, I apologize to the mods for letting this pimple bother me. As far as proof, I won’t supply the site where I post these as due to copywrite laws and this site would shit a brick.
You want your eboots converted then waste your time with eboot2iso. I know what I know and kids like you know less than needed
Fine.
We’ll just agree to disagree.
greg, EBOOT2ISO was released, I’m going to see if I can get to work with the MGS : Peace Walker demo.
lol
too obsess n your psp aren’t, keeping updated for the sake of “my precious~psp”! (don’t get me wrong buddy) ;)
Lol.
I just love MGS, thats all.
awesome! :)
VERY nice job :D
lol hrmm kinda feels that sony wants us to hack this…i rekon from the first psp 1000,2000,3000 and go every model they testing to see how we are able to hack there machine maybe if they release a model that is as hard to hack then the ps3 thats when they mite release the PSP2 till then dont think they will. anyways good job (Y)
Yo everybody listen up.
Theres this kid over @ joblesspunk.com i think it is who ultra moded his psp. It still works, but now like a psp go exept it has an itegrated camera.and most of all 32gb internal flash instead of UMD. so that was my theory change the internal 32mb-64mb ram flash for something like a 1gb or 2gb ram flash and see what happens. you can see the video over at QJ.net and on acidmods i think.
HAHAHA…
I can just imagine Sony going crazy looking through all there psn content for the exploit as i write this… Thats a long process…
I can just hear the Sony Execs. “Whoever finds this damn exploit is getting a huge bonus”
Your the man Freeplay… Keep them guessing!!!
Hey guyz! watch this ->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-99DQNKujM&feature=player_embedded
“FreePlay: Yes, the hack is universal!”
NO, I will not give you the files. NO, it will not lead to custom FW or ISO loaders. NO, I will not tell you what game this is. Why am I even posting a video about this? Because I CAN. Don’t like it? Don’t watch it. I’m not doing this to make people happy; I’m doing it to make a point!
I think that the PSPGo is already hacked and that ISOs can alredy but played on it and also i have cfw 6.1 Gen for the PSPGo you want this ask me
oh yeh…FreePlay you SUCK!!!
Sony offered a lot of intensives to upgrade from 5.70 to 6.10. Am I the only one who thinks that this implies security problems with 5.70?
Can 5.70 be hacked?
Anyway, after watching this video, I went out about bought a PSP Go but I’m not upgrading.
I’m being really stupid aren’t I? The exploit is in 6.10 so I should upgrade before sony only allow 6.11?
What do you think?
I’m looking for a group of people to help me with the PSP GO! I’m actually almost at the point of hacking it, please email me at demonrz0@yahoo.com
I can give you all the info I have right now, which is a lot, I’ll be waiting.
Hey DemonRZ, I wouldn’t do that. Sony may contact you pretending to be a hacker in order to gain info. I would contact FreePlay via his youtube channel, tell him all you know and he will advise you.
Im from philippines, metro manila, home town of wowowee… can sumbody tell me or teach me, where to download this file, pls… i brother acidentally screwd the firmware of my psp.., before it was 5.03 ofw, but now its 5.51., heres my email adress,facebook and friendster: trebligsomar@yahoo.com
just pm me a mail, so that others or sony wont know.
can someone give FreePlay save game exploit files
please give me FreePlay save game exploit files for my psp go. hittsy@rediffmail.com
