First 2.01 Homebrew Game Ported By PSP 3D

[wraggster]

PSP3D have released the first homebrew game runing on 2.01 firmware, heres the info:

"That's right. From Hello World yesterday, to Tetris today. We at PSP 3D have successfully ported the first 2.01 game EVER. Thanks to Fanjita for the tips and for the wonderful GTA hack (props to all the people who helped him too). In the next few days, expect this and more games to be ported to 2.5 also (if and when we get SYSCALs working)."

To install, use the same exact steps as the Hello World.

The installation is the exact same as the Hello World code, simply copy the correct savegame folder to \PSP\SAVEDATA. For US versions, the folder is “ULUS10041S0”, for EU versions the folder is “ULES00151S0”.

So the GTA Cheat Hack has made it possible to run Homebrew on 2.01 and above now? Looks like the PSP is going to stay in the Homebrew business for awhile still. I might actually go out and buy some new games once this is all running right. Sony is only shooting themselves in the foot by forcing customers to decide between Homebrew and official software.

does this work with all games or just GTA? me wanna play tetris!

i hope they port one of the Snes9x PSP emulators!!!

but does this really work with other games? what is in the "GTA Exploit"?

[pepegomez]

it works with gta only at the moment. the hack allows u to play external programs by loading it as a save game

oh. i dont have GTA and never will cuz i dont want it wouldn't want to waste the money now when in a few days / a couple weeks or so they will port it to all games or make a downgrader.

This can't be done for all games, it's a GTA-specific hack.

It's also extremely unlikel to result in a downgrader.

Possibly there will be other hacks for other games - but this isn't a method that can be used generically, probably every new game that can be used like this will require weeks of work - so don't expect too many.

damn I thought maybe there comes a downgrader

i thought r* might have left plenty of holes in the game for executing code. they are nice people. hopefully this game, or some other game in the future will allow an eboot loader to be run through it. then there would be absolutely nothing (short of hard coding a hack in to the firmware to stop the specific game) sony could do to prevent homebrew because the eboot would be loaded through a legit piece of software.

*dreams*

That's too bad. I really thought we were going to get a kernel mode eboot loader.
