i'd be more excited if i still cared about the psp

Sorry, but I have a hard time believing this one...

If he puts together a clear video, showing the PSP turn on, then the exploit, then the spoofed version (on a PSP 3000 or GO) - then I'll believe it. Otherwise, I'd say its just a lame CFW he put together running a plugin to spoof the version, and he shows Patapon 2 just to make it look legit.

Anyway, I'd love to be proven wrong (in this case ;P ) but for now I'm pretty convinced that the version would have showed "6.20 TN" without him even running the Patapon 2 exploit first.

somewhat clear vid xD

That's the video I was referring to ;P But he didn't show it starting up.

Well, Hot damn. If this turns out to be true i'll appreciate this very much!

My 2nd PSP is a 3000 with 6.20 on it.

So, will this in theory be any different than Half byte loader then?

Sounds like it could be more than that.

I've sold mine now but i still take an interest, but i know what your saying

In terms of the whole thing, i need some convincing yet - looks good, but is it the real thing?

I highly doubt this is real lol

Anyways there not much going on for the PSP anymore, neither in terms of HB or games. Sony should retire from the handheld scene or they're going to have even more problems when the fight between PSP2 vs. 3DS comes.

My point being, nobody cares about the PSP anymore and most of the people who will benefit from this are people who need ISO support. And yes, I know the author of this says it won't have a ISO loader, but seriously wait a few days and watch lamers implement it xD

:thumbup: Great works T_N

I love how bitter some people are.

People do care about the PSP otherwise they wouldn't buy one, or own one.

I've owned 3 and if I had the money i'd buy many of the limited editions that are available.

And quite frankly i'm sick of the Anti-ISO argument.

Have you played half the games that came out the first 4 years on UMD? The load times are fucking awful, and not only that, having the UMD drive constantly having to start up and spin all the time eats the shit out of your battery.

The ability to take a game and put it on the memory card is a god send.

People will always find a way to pirate no matter what people do, so why make a big deal about them abusing what you've made when you are no better. You do the exact same thing to sony by hacking the thing in the first place. Bunch of hypocrites.

And frankly right now, All I would really love to have besides full Homebrew capabilities besides Half byte loader is to be able to play my PS1 games on my 3k. I could on my 1k with CFW but 6.20 has better compatibility for some games. And I don't feel like updating my PSP/PS3 and paying 10$ to play a game that I already own.

I've owned a ton of games for it, and I consider it such a great great console with so many things you can do with it.

This is going horribly off topic...The use of an ISO loader and the possibilities it presents is an entirely different debate and not relevant to this topic.

Stop it, we get the point.

Now back on topic:

I'd like to see this be true, if only just to play some emulators but besides that it raises little interest on me at this point. Let's just wait and see, I still call it fake though.

Total_Noob seems to have a solid reputation though, hard to see why he'd risk it. Time will tell I suppose.

He does? Never heard of him xD What has he done on the scene? (I'm guessing he is a "newcomer").

He's been around for a year or so, released a patch adding 5.50 GEN compatibility to Dark_AleX's PSPStates plugin. I'm not vouching for him or anything, but he does have a track record better than most.

Sounds more solid than copy/pasting ISO loader code and making a CFW xD If he pulls it off I'll be the first one to say: "Sorry, I was wrong".

He's the dev of Ultimate VSH menu :P u didnt even knew ? xD

Has anyone checked his blog? he usually puts info on there - he even asked me to beta test the Ultimate VSH menu once ( i joined his blog).

Yeah, pretty hard to miss that even if you've been in the scene for one week xD

Anyway, plugins != exploits. I'm still waiting a 3000 or GO PoC to prove this is real.

I believe he was 12 or 14 or something when he first appeared on the scene.

@noob81 check wololo.net total_noob has given wololo a beta version of his hen and wololo confirmed it on his psp 3000 and he has a video to prove it.

Here's the proof btw

http://pspslimhacks.com/wololo-tests-6-20-tn-hen-on-a-psp-3000/

Great success! Congrats Total_Noob and thanks for all your hard work.

Edit: nvm, got it lol.

I guess to update this here is what Total_Noob said about a week ago:

Didn't Silverspring find out how the new NIDs are generated?

he knows HOW they are; like how we know how to decrypt with the KIRK, but don't know the values involved. So nid resolving is manual still.

Well from the looks of the video, it does actually show him starting the patapon exploit and then the eboot hack itself making it trigger the HEN alone. but in my opinion i don't think this video is a bunch of rubbish/fakeish. just gotta wait and see like everyone else

So that also means that the names of new kernel functions will never be found?

And are you implying that it has something to do with the PSP hardware? I though it was just a manual process where the SCE devs just hashed the names differently for each firmware release.

Wow. This is great hopefully itll shift the momentum in the psp homebrew scene. I may just have to get myself another psp :D

yeah man, hopefully sooner or later maybe we'll get a 6.20 or 6.30 Gen-A if possible or not, but anyways congratz bro!. and btw does total noob even visit here often?

Doubt it, he's usually over on the pspgen board.

So is total_noob only working on a HEN or is he also working on a CFW?

Just a HEN.

unlikly, regardless of homebrew capable or not, the scene is dead, this is only going to appeal to pirater's, and maybe some devs looking to work on the GO, but nothing along the line of reviving the scene

Hello guys, i know this is a very weird thread to question

but i have been having problems and i tried lots of way to run homebrews such as the PSP Media Player, PEPviewer etc. The thing is, my eloader wont work nomatter what

I have cfw 5.50 Gen D-3 , psp slim (2001). When i start the eloader, the screen blacksout and my psp'll eventually off, totally stuck. Can anyone please help me, thanks:blushing:

(or could anyone suggest a video player that'll work for psp 2001 cfw gen 5.50 D-3 or 5.00 M33-6)

This is nearing release, supports 98% of homebrew so expect a release within the next few weeks.

Guys..my 5.03 psp-300 just fell, and broke:crying:

I have a 32gb memory stick, and have a lot of media on it as well as backups made using umd dumper (of my legally purchased games)

if this is released, will i be able to play my backups?

or shall i carry my umd's around?

This HEN won't fix your broken PSP.

Just a HEN... except it has a vsh menu, plugin support, flash-0 guard, etc.

Hm... it's kind of like a CFW, minus the iso loading

It'll be the first thing someone will add....

Anyways before an argument breaks out, the release date is set for Dec 20th - Dec 24th.

Not sure the ass clowns (lol) left in the scene would know how to put something like that together, tbh. Nowadays its not just a matter of copy-pasting people's modules and rebooting into "MHU" to play your ISOz. People would actually need to WRITE code, and I haven't seen anyone that good yet. But there's always a chance of someone coming out of the woodwork I guess.. :/

That's okay with MaGiXieN though, right? ;P

so... it's nothing like a CFW? When it boots from IPL time, I'll call it a CFW.

There's actually been some speculation that the "hidden blade" is able to flash a custom IPL. Thoughts?

http://total-noob.blogspot.com/2010/12/demo-6-620-tn-hen-with-vshmenu-simple.html

no, thats not what it is at all. in his spare time (aka school) he makes homemade weapons for the assassin's guild.

Lol, I think there's a good possibility he might have been joking.

i hope so, because there's a good possibility that i was joking as well :p

Lol, I'm an idiot, and not the best multi-tasker, playing Red Dead Redemption as well.

understood. maybe if you would have been playing assassin's creed instead you would have recognized the reference :p xD

+1 xD

It's released if anyone is having troubles, post here I'll try my best to help.

6.20 TN-B is released.

* Fixed homebrew execution crash on some PSPs (thanks to HacKmaN for debugging)

* Added 4g model support

* Resolved some important NIDs

* Added FAKE INDEX.DAT to TN VSH Menu.

o Dump whatever FW with psardumper.

o Copy /F0/vsh/etc/version.txt to /seplugins/version.txt.

o Enable the option and restart VSH, now your PSP version is faked.

o -> To downgrade just dump a lower FW.

Apparently, you can downgrade. I'm gonna wait to see how it works out for others

Download link: here

Wats d best iso loader

Please Wats d best iso loader dat works wit TN HEN B? & also according 2 "wololo" its nt advisable 2 downgrade... U cud risk bricking.

Firstly, learn to edit posts, secondly, learn to type.

Also, the information to sign any homebrew as if it were official just came out (meaning you probably won't need custom firmware to loads ISOs anymore) so you probably won't need to bother with HEN anymore.

There are two ISO loaders out, do a google search.

Hen-c is out, it's signed so no need for HBL no more
