Another PSP Easter Egg?

[Cap'n 1time]

I was running through ps2dev.org, giving myself a headf**k and I stumbeled upon an interesting, humorouse thread in their psp exploit section. It seems in that one psp NBA game (which they never actually name in the thread) contains a 50K document of obscene language, some that will aparently make you cringe according to the author of the thread. NOW! This is just about as important as teamxecuter finding the word **** while hacking... but it will make you giggle! :P


I don't know if this could provide an attack vector, but the Sony NBA game uses the Medius Game Communications Library as described in this link:-

I have extracted the main BOOT.BIN from my copy and this library and function names are all over it.

Oddly enough it also contains around 50k of the most obscense list of bad language I have ever seen. Guaranteed to offend everyone on the planet multiple times. Some of it is quite funny too. Not just individual words but entire phrases.

It's probably just a list of disallowed player names or something.

Just play any online game and you can see the most, uh, creative nicknames.
