eLoader 0.995 "Kriek" - Support for v2.80 Firmware

[wraggster]

Fanjita (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/search.php?searchid=743278) and Ditlew (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/search.php?searchid=743279) have just released a new ELoader (Homebrew Loader) for the PSP, heres the release details:


It's been a long wait for 2.80 PSP owners, eager to get their hands on some homebrewing goodness. But hopefully today's news will prove that the wait has been worthwhile.

Noobz are proud to announce the release of the latest eLoader, version 0.995 (hey, we're scared of the big 1.0, OK?), also known as "Kriek". We know you don't want to read too many words before getting into the action, so - what's new?
The biggie - support for v2.80 firmware. v2.80 is still only user-mode support, and there are some minor syscalls that can't be resolved. But in general, the vast majority of user-mode homebrew works fine.
Another biggie - this release includes an experimental new way of using eLoader, called xLoader. xLoader allows you to run homebrew directly from the PSP's XMB menu, just like on a v1.0 PSP. Usage is a lot like Dark Alex's HEN C, but the underlying technology is very different. Because it's experimental, and a lot of work to fix up for each firmware, it's currently only supported for v2.80 firmware, and compatibility is a little lower than standard eLoader. Make sure to view the README file (displayed during installation) for more information.
You can now use the power switch to enter suspend mode in any homebrew that normally supports suspend mode on v1.5 firmware. This works in eLoader on firmwares 2.5-2.71, and in xLoader.
The built-in PSP on-screen keyboard now works in xLoader.
The Installotron is now included in the eLoader installation, so that in principle, you may never need to manually install any homebrew ever again. Installotron also now includes an option to automatically modify EBOOTs to make them suitable for xLoader.
Stability and compatibility is mostly improved over v0.99, although some homebrew is less stable, especially on v2.00 firmware. You may want to keep 0.99 and 0.995 side-by-side on firmwares that can run both.

This is fantastic news. The homebrew scene is not dead at all and many 2.8ers have been waiting for this for a while.

[kando]

YAY i get to dust off my 2.80!!

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

WOW now hopefully a exploit can be found for a downgrader ect great work to all involved.

[MikeDX]

Awesome work, truly awesome.

now to test to see if wifi works in user mode on 2.8 :)

[scarph]

lol fanjita never tells anyone that hes working on something
and bam a new eloader

only 2.8 or 2.8x?

[ExcruciationX]

Exellent news!

[TacticalBread]

I've always had 1.5, but this is great news! Now maybe the homebrew scene will return to full force. :D

[nin_deftone]

Does anyone know if they are trying to find a new hack to run homebrew on 2.81?I really hope they do!

what i meant was if fanjita,dark_alex or anyone else are gonna look for new ways to run homebrew on 2.81

[kando]

Does anyone know if they are trying to find a new hack to run homebrew on 2.81?I really hope they do!

the exploit used in this was patched in 2.81 unfortunatly, so i doubt it :(

at least until a new exploit is found.

[-=me=-]

simply.... amazing

hope devhook will happen soon, like when 3.0 comes out

[Veskgar]

This is great! Remember a couple days ago when we were all talking about the slowdown in the PSP scene. Well, today should be a reminder that the PSP homebrew scene is hardly at a standstill and will continue to thrive for a LONG LONG time.

Fanjita & Ditlew have been iconic in the scene and this release shows their die hard work ethic and generosity.

Thanks Fanjita & Ditlew. Always opening the door for more and more people.

[-=me=-]

2.8 se? i dont think it would be that hard to port 2.71 se to this now that there is an eloader.....
i'm no hacker though.....

[XpspX]

HOLY HELL! i knew god loved me and my 2.8ness :)

[kando]

btw fyi all this has no chance of bricking as it does not write anything to flash :)

[carlitx]

I Love U!!!!

[carlitx]

ok srry for double posting but wtf man i went into my gta (unpatched) and it wont work!

[Destroyer699]

Truly amazing. And to think just a few days ago I thought homebrew was slowing down. Too bad I recently upgraded to 2.81...

[mavsman4457]

Does anyone know if they are trying to find a new hack to run homebrew on 2.81?I really hope they do!

what i meant was if fanjita,dark_alex or anyone else are gonna look for new ways to run homebrew on 2.81

People are always looking for exploits on every firmware. Proof of this can be found because after the 2.71 downgrader came out and it was working perfectly, a new 2.01 downgrader came out. Not necessary, but it still comes out, see my point? Any firmware that is released is being hacked. That's a fact.

[Nookadum]

This is great to hear for those stuck on 2.80! :D It's great to hear that Fanjita and the others are working hard now!

As for now, hopefully DAX/Booster will find a way to emulate 2.80/2.81 in devHook...

[TacticalBread]

Booster hasn't released anything in quite a while. Not since Sony bitched at him. Has anyone heard from him, or know if he has a website or anything?

[mavsman4457]

Harleyg posted on QJ that he has a working beta for 2.82 devhooked. Search for it since I'm too lazy.

[aries2k4]

Wow, this came out of nowhere. Good news for 2.8 users.
Great work Noobz!

[kando]

i've already found 1 kernal mode homebrew that DOES run on this loader...

mvspsp 1.0 kernal mode :)

[Emeriastone]

HOORAY!! Perhaps it is now time to purchase a newer PSP so I won't be tempted to upgrade my baby.

I plan on psp ps3 togetherness-holdhands whatever-ness gay marriage so maybe it's time for a new psp.

[pt9087]

LOL! Bang, i had no idea this was gonna be the day, maybe a dawngrader will be possible after all, hope i see this DD soon, Good Work Lads. PSPete gives a pat on the back. xxx

[nin_deftone]

I do hope that they can crack 2.81!

[ICE]

downgrater soon maybe??? wait that needs kernal..... hmmmm......

[SnesR0X]

this is a very good sign, next stop is for 2.81:)

[kando]

ok srry for double posting but wtf man i went into my gta (unpatched) and it wont work!

that still only works on 2.60 and under :(

and btw, i tried using PSPFiler and going into hacker mode...even though it tries to delete and add files to and from flash0, nothing happens....its directly blocked :(

[kando]

has anyone had any success running this eloader or any other eloader on 2.71 SE?

[Stinger_{Dark_Chaos}]

Thank Gawd!!!! many people had thought about 2.80 not being able to do anything basically and we havent heard about 2.80 news in a long time and this has to be tha greatest news EVER!!! finally a freakin eloader!!! well Xloader actually well i will to thank Fanjita and Ditlew they made all of us very happy and i hope soon they will come up (OUT OF NOWHERE!!!) a Downgrader to 1.5 lol!!!

[Kvonx]

tears of joy will b coming from my
friend :rolleyes:

[zidanerick]

tears of joy are coming from me, i am happy that i can finally use my psp for my GBA games as well now

[Heero808]

Awesome Better tell my friend with a 2.8 to not upgrade before its to late

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

2.8 se? i dont think it would be that hard to port 2.71 se to this now that there is an eloader.....
i'm no hacker though.....

Mmm is there kernal mode access on 2.80 though ?.

[blackrave]

This is fantastic for 2.80 users! Now they are on the way to using homebrew as well. The Noobz team is really good. Thanks!
I won't ever use this, though, since I have 2.71 SE.



Mmm is there kernal mode access on 2.80 though ?.

No, there isn't, only user-mode access. What does this mean, though, apart from that no flashing can be done?

[steve-b]

surely there must be kernal access somewhere. I assume the next official upgrader somehow writes to the flash. I guess the trick is to find out how that does it.

[snkrock25]

funny this is posted with the 3.00 firmware still some times away, give sony enough time to patch whatever was just exploited.

but nonetheless thanks, im a happy 1.5 user but given that a new exploit was found, i would think waiting until after 3.0 is released would have been a great idea. this way users who upgrade to enjoy sony's PS1 emulator, they may still have a chance to run legal homebrew.

[Baboon]

The legends that are Fanjita and Ditlew have done it again! :)

This is fantastic news... homebrew for all!

[kando]

No, there isn't, only user-mode access. What does this mean, though, apart from that no flashing can be done?

wrong, there is kernal mode in 2.80.


Details of Kernel Mode Support:
-------------------------------

In eloader 0.9.9.5 it is possible to make use of kernel mode
using "constructor" procs, this therefore gives the ability to
patch kernel memory before the user mode thread starts (in the
same way that firmware v1.5 can)

The main thing that you can not do at the moment is start a new
thread in kernel mode.

also


funny this is posted with the 3.00 firmware still some times away, give sony enough time to patch whatever was just exploited.

it was already patched in 2.81 :)

[pspwog]

does it work on 2.82

[Nookadum]

does it work on 2.82

Sadly, no. :(

[Panini]

My friend has a 2.6 (that he's to chicken shit to downgrade), Would this new eloader work on his machine?

He doesnt own gta so this would be ideal seeing as you can launch homwbrew direct from the xmb.

[kieso]

Thanks a bunch! I tested it real quick with PSPGenesis .17 and Tecmo Super Bowl 3 and everything ran great!!!

[Fanjita]

A few notes:

The release is by Noobz, which is a much bigger team than just me and Ditlew these days.

It works on any firmware from 2.0 - 2.80, and not 2.81 or later. You no longer need GTA for homebrew.

Comments on some specific points:


This is great to hear for those stuck on 2.80! :D It's great to hear that Fanjita and the others are working hard now!

We've been working hard for months on this. Just because you don't hear much from a dev for a while, doesn't mean they're not slaving away to make your PSP a better place...

As for now, hopefully DAX/Booster will find a way to emulate 2.80/2.81 in devHook...
Already done, there's a beta, but it still needs some work, and so far there is no need for it, so I suspect Booster has been playing the waiting game rather than giving Sony more ammunition.


Booster hasn't released anything in quite a while. Not since Sony bitched at him. Has anyone heard from him, or know if he has a website or anything?

See above, just cos you haven't heard anything, doesn't mean he's not active. AFAIK Booster only speaks Japanese, so knowing his website probably wouldn't help you a lot.


and btw, i tried using PSPFiler and going into hacker mode...even though it tries to delete and add files to and from flash0, nothing happens....its directly blocked :(

Not blocked by eLoader, but blocked by the firmware. 2.80 has no known way to write unauthorised material to flash0 at this time.


funny this is posted with the 3.00 firmware still some times away, give sony enough time to patch whatever was just exploited.

but nonetheless thanks, im a happy 1.5 user but given that a new exploit was found, i would think waiting until after 3.0 is released would have been a great idea. this way users who upgrade to enjoy sony's PS1 emulator, they may still have a chance to run legal homebrew.

We're not stupid, there's nothing new in the line of exploits here that would have any bearing on 3.0. It's just a development of the existing exploits, which has taken months to bring to full fruition. Bear that in mind for the future, BTW - each subsequent firmware takes longer and longer to develop a loader for... So upgrading is bad, m'kay?


wrong, there is kernal mode in 2.80.

Nope. Just user mode access at this time. Everything you see in eLoader and xLoader on 2.80 was achieved from user mode.

(The comments in the readme about kernel mode only apply to kernel-capable firmwares, i.e. 2.50 - 2.71).

[TacticalBread]

Thanks for the news about Booster, Fanjita. I just hope once the next DevHook is released, Sony doesn't shut him down.

[carpy]

Will the XLoader for 2.71 have Kernel access?

Currently, the HEN-C can only run certain user-mode homebrew direct from the XMB in 2.71. Of course you can devhook down to 1.50 also on HEN-C, but it would be nice if we could eliminate that necessity.

[stimo]

hi.. do any iso app work??

No, not yet. I imagine when it is supported though it will :)

You should know better than to ask that.

[starman]

[Boardman2411]

i hope that a way to use the xloader is made for all firmware versions

Is there any bricking risk(writing to flash) when installing the Tiff version and the installotron?

[kmp2253]

well thisk sucks i HAD a 2.8 psp

[Project.funky]

Is there any bricking risk(writing to flash) when installing the Tiff version and the installotron?

If your on 2.8 i think there is no chance of bricking becuase you don't write to flash on 2.8

[Gold Line]

Is there any bricking risk(writing to flash) when installing the Tiff version and the installotron?

i went to use xloader and it crashed on me i took the bat out put it back in and turnd the power back on and a blue screen came on saying a problm has encurd bla bla bla and it restord sistem settings i craped my self and thought it bricked

ps-dose anyone know a working gbc emu for xloader 2.80

[buildit92]

you can run luaplayer on it. i just tested it out. also you can run doom on it.

[Chackan]

Hummm, can't use it :S
Tutorial please? :P

[buildit92]

did u install it and run the tiff program.

[Gold Line]

working list
nesterj 1.11
snes9xtyl 0.4.2
daedalus R8
gpsp 08
super mario war

[LilSwish722]

NO WAY... now i can actually get my Non TA-082 PSP back. and play homebrew

[blackrave]

This program is used to patch the EBOOT files to make them compatable with firmware 2.80. This application goes through all of the applications installed in MS0:/PSP/GAME/ and patches them so that they will start with xLoader.

This was a tool that we used during testing and we thought it would be useful to users, the source is provided as well so that if anyone wants to build this into an nice application, you can do.

It will presumably also work for making homebrew compatible with Dark Alex's HEN C, although we haven't tested that to confirm it.

Source is included in case anyone wants to extend it and make it prettier.

I've attached the tool for download.

Also, here is a small compatibility list for firmware 2.80 (thanks to QJ):
- Daedalus R8
- SNES9x TYL v0.4.2 ME
- Squarez v0.8.1
- FileAssistant++
- SuperTux
- PSP Revolution v0.1
- PiMPStreamer v0.62
- PSPRadio v0.38.12 - Static

[Tetris999]

Sheewweet good news for the 2.8 but then again not for ppl who got a psp recently :p :(

[Darkpaladin]

Just to say, ive been testing various eboots and like 95% of them seem to work with this eloader, its great :D

[buildit92]

you can play the lastest version of deudliuos (n64 emulator) on the psp using the eloader.

[kill-the-bunny]

its not working i have 2.8¤ but all 1¤ of the games dont work like doom and quake. Y

[Zargon]

It tells me that it can't find the ELF file. Can someone help me with this one? Also, does using the patch tool make it so using the GTA exploit won't recognize or properly play the files?

EDIT:Oh, only uses 1.0 EBOOTS... can someone help me find a program that undoes KXPLOITing?

[eugenemcardle]

Does anyone know if they are trying to find a new hack to run homebrew on 2.81?I really hope they do!

what i meant was if fanjita,dark_alex or anyone else are gonna look for new ways to run homebrew on 2.81


[QUOTE=kando;276851]the exploit used in this was patched in 2.81 unfortunatly, so i doubt it :(

at least until a new exploit is found.

Errr, seems I heard this before: ie there is no way 2.80 will ever have HB.


Moral of story: Never say never.
Good work and kudos Fanjita and crew.

[Gold Line]

iam useing this 2.80 eloader and i have gpsp 08 with the pokemon emerald rom and the rom will not play.back when i had a eloader for 2.60 it worked fine why is this

[starman]

Try reinstalling it.

Cloudy

i have and still no success. i have a 2.6. i have tried a hell of a lot to fix it but......nothin

[mattey101]

if there anymore 2.8 hacks like this i might upgrade lol but we all gonna be screwed when 3.0 is out, because if that doesnt get hacked there would be no new games 4 homebrew users :( (as in UMD games)

[Axelius]

Yahoo, at least. No I can play homebrew on my 2.80!!?? I've hoped for that so long *sniff*

[froggie22]

can u load an overclocking module using this eloader so that i can run my 2.80 at 333?

[kristneder]

can u load an overclocking module using this eloader so that i can run my 2.80 at 333?

When you load up the eloader, you can use the L and R buttens to change the cpu speed. I think =)


How and where do I get the WAD files (?) for Doom? They aren't included when I download the rest of the files.

Oh, yes, and how do I install Quake and Heretic, and games like that!

And one last question. Howcome can't I use the Install o tron, It just keeps connecting! (I have wireless access normally =S)

[Baboon]

Check the PSP modders section on this site, theres links/downloads to some good half life wads. :thumbup:

OMG! i am soooooo happy and sooooo pissed!
if thist came about 2 weeks ago i wouldve saved myself 189 pounds! >=S
oh well, now i have 2 psp's, BOTH with homebrew!
And i'm finally a rookie, YAY!

[XArt]

Hi all, please download from the offical site

XArt's Tetris 1.0 (http://www.xart.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/downloads/homebrew/Tetris%20for%20PSP.sit)

You can also download other XFN file from the website www.xart.co.uk (http://www.xart.co.uk/downloads.html)

XFN is an Xart Font File Format

Previous 1.1.x Tetris game uses old tetris code with XArt added code for improved graphics & sound
No longer developed, superseeded by New Tetris v1.0

Tetris 1.0 is developed by XArt Software only.

Tetris 1.1 is still being developed and will be known as Tetris 3D (tetris 1.1)
as this will be using TIFF images instead of bmp and have a 3D field

it will be for data.bin first, then followed by eboot.pbp

This is pretty sweet. Nice Job Noobz! Wooooghooo!haha

they do work, I got doom to work. I think you have to use the 1.0 version of games and sometimes rearrange the files. to many folders will mess it up.

[kieso]

i used the PSPGensis emulator and overclocking is available on that at 333.

hey ppl- my first post here :)

great work with the eLoader- i've been on 2.8 for a while unfortunately, but now i've seen the light of homebrew :D

[DosuKinuta]

Will this brick my PSP

[S-D]

Wow! This is great, I can't believe I haven't seen this till now. Great Job Noobz.

[Project.funky]

Will this brick my PSP

If you have version 2.8 psp then no there 0% chance of it,

[jspec]

Help please!

I am using a 2.80 PSP, with 0.995 eLoader. I am running snes9x latest version.
Everytime I try to exit the emulator, my PSP freezes. What am I doing wrong?
I'm using the method where I have the eLoader photos in my photo file, and it auto loads when I go to them. Would loading eLoader another way help me get around this issue?

I go to exit, it says O to confirm, and it freezes everytime I press it.
Any insight would be great! Thanks

[dejkirkby]

Not being an eLoader user anymore, I'm educated guessing. I think it's because you are exiting a program (eLoader) that is running another program (Snes9xTYL). It seems to be giving the PSP too much to do at once and it hangs.

[s15240drifter]

can ne1 help me out with putting doom and quake on my psp. i hade it on but it said the wad file couldnot be found. where can i find this file at.

[xela]

i dont know why and i hope i dont sound like a noob but why does the instalotron kind of work on 2.81 when you go to the saved game area please contact me via [email protected] becuase i might not remember about this post.

Thank You,
