PSP Firmware 3.50 Hello World!

Posted by x3sphere at June 23, 2007, 4:44 pm

Fanjita and co have done what many thought to be impossible. Today Noobz have released the first-ever, working homebrew on all firmwares! Yep, that includes even firmware 3.50.

Based on Lumines, the “Illuminati” exploit is a user-mode exploit using a buffer overflow in the savedata file – similar to the GTA exploit.

So if you’ve got a copy of Lumines (the UMD disc), then you can run homebrew on your PSP, no matter what the firmware version is. Currently, the only homebrew compatible with 3.50 is this Hello World demo, but in the future Noobz intends to release a new HEN and downgrader!

Props to team Noobz!

Darkchild says:

:O I have that game!!! :O :D:D:D

Acerthief says:

nice work! too bad you still need a game for it. when does the company usually start selling patched version?

x3sphere says:

Lumines was one of the first PSP games released, there's so many copies out there. More than GTA even. Likely scenario: Sony will release a firmware update to patch it.

BTW, here is a video :)

Great news indeed! I need to pick up a couple... my bro's bday is coming up in a few weeks and I think he's getting a PSP this year. :wink:

Acerthief says:

what version update is the game? i'm asking my sister to bring it back when she's coming back from canada. i'm sorry but my answer of my last reply wasn't answered, heh.

when does Sony usually start selling patched version?
Thanks in Advance.

shadowthor says:

Does anyone know where to get it from Toronto, Canada? Im interested to get it for my future psp, that i plan to get to pry my brother's hands off mine.... :D

x3sphere says:

The version doesn't matter, just make sure it is a US or EU copy. No one has tested with a Japanese copy yet...

I dunno when Sony will sell a patched version, or if they will at all. I guess if they did, it would take at least 1 - 2 months before the new version hits store shelves.

Tenshigami says:

My friends have been notified, and tomorrow, my coworkers. :D

If you don't have Lumines, the sooner you buy it, the better. Sure, it could take quite some time for a patched version to hit shelves. But procrastination can lead to more procrastination, until it's too late. Though, waiting for the downgrader to be released is probably safe enough.

Acerthief says:

okay thanks. i'm telling my sister to buy it in three days. i'll catch up. :biggrin:

Cheezeball99 says:

So this is what you meant earlier, x3, you sly sucka.:biggrin:

chemist says:

This is awesome.
Its also kinda wierd that teh day my brother was calling local gamestops for Gta:LCS unpatched version we find out that a new exploit has been found.

Lumines sales up 1,660% xD

Cheezeball99 says:

:ohmy: OMG, news travels FAST.:biggrin:

shadowthor says:

Looks like I must go hunting this month and find one before the patches come out, lol. I can finally get a silver or blue psp from japan :D.

Acerthief says:

2,317% now. OMG i wonder if there's still any of them left on tuesday when my sister buys it canada.

canadajames says:

Ha thats hilarious. If someone wanted to they could make a fake one and then try to bring their games sales up like a bunch. Not sure if thats fraud though. I don't really need this maybe I might get one to help out friends but if I ever need one I can go down the street or rent it really a play it up for my friends :)

roe-ur-boat says:

I was away for 2 days and this happens!!!!! I should go away more often 8) Now I can give my friends the good news that they can downgrade their psp soon.

Tenshigami says:

3,369%! O.O

If Sony hasn't been paying attention, so hasn't heard, I'm pretty sure that's gonna raise a few eyebrows. "What's so special about Lumines all of a sudden?"

shadowthor says:

After went hunting around for a heck of a long time, finally found a copy of lumines :D.

roe-ur-boat says:

I bought one in the local gamestore for 25 euro and i saw on ebay it was selling for 50 euro lucky me 8)

MenaceInc says:

OMFG!!!!!!!! HELL YES!

this is such good news...i know a few people who have been waiting FOREVER for this.
:D

i go away for a few days and come back to this...this is just awesome.
and lumines or whatever it is....think i can get it for about £10 or so.... :D


funny how much it's shot up though XD

Wally_Peanuts says:

what if sony told fanjita how to do this with lumines, just so fanjita would tell us we can do it with lumines, just so 4523445324769876 people would rush out and buy lumines?

Krelian says:

Well since Lumines is by Ubisoft and Q Entertainment I don't think Sony particularly cares how well Lumines sells...

Wally_Peanuts says:

you dont think sony makes money off of every single umd thats sold?

Cheezeball99 says:

Nah, they just paid the original fee for license for publishing a game on their platform and for their SDK 'n' such. That boat's already sailed for Sony, but this may prompt the sale of more actual PSPs also, ya know?

dennis96411 says:

Yes,that's what I've been waiting for a year!!

dennis96411 says:

It doesn't work yet,but though the n00bz team still working on it.
How do I know if it's a patched or unpatched version?
I used the edit button to add more stuff just like you say,now I can being less annoying.
