It was bound to happen anyway i suppose.
Let`s just all be careful. :)
Still, i download only from DCemu which is very safe indeed. ;)

Personally I don't think this is a virus or trojan.. I just think whoever wrote it was trying to create something else, and through bad coding has accidently ended up with a program that bricks your PSP. Until someone see's the actual code, then I call this whole scare bullsh*t. It just reminds me of the whole 2.00 downgrader / tiff exploit that Symantec still flag as a virus. It's a rogue eboot, so avoid it. End of.
Writing a trojan for a PSP is pointless.. it just won't spread. Bumpkiss.
:cool:
Thanks for the warning PSPdemon!!
Well if this was intentionally created, this is exactly what the virus writer wanted. Panic, controversy, attention, etc. to make him feel like he has some sort of importance in the world.
So I say, just be careful, be vigilant, but don't get panicked or back away from the PSP homebrew scene. This only strengthens our resolve and solidarity and we will never go away.
WOW! I sound like a politician trying to sell a war plan huh? Owell ;-)
yea, it would take more than some assholes virus to back me off from PSP homebrew.
A virus that makes the console explode in your hands..... now.... would be different ;)
How is this a virus? Do you mean it's a trojan? How does it spread?
Having tested frequent versions of his program, in numerous attempts to get it to work (I was lucky I had to go offline 30 minutes before he got it working... The other tester copped it), I can't see how a program that is only 76 KB big, and was meant to be a "SDL game" should write to flash accidentally. It shouldn't have even been a kernel mode eboot in that case.Quote:

EDIT:
Technically, it should be considered a "trojan" or "malware" as it comes under false premises.Quote:

It's really a trojan. No need to bitch around. :rolleyes:Quote:

And for those of you who think DCEmu is 100%, wraggster and staff don't ALWAYS check EVERY file, so don't sue DCEmu if you get any sort of malicous or trojan-like software from here.
Just download everything from Dcemu
This hasnt entered any sites quite frankly
Just be careful guys, even if Dcemu is the safest site in the world. Viruses can be disguised as something else such as "Full Speed N64 emulator" or "Full Speed PSX Emulator"
This is why sony gets us to update, be warey
Im not afraid of this guy, hes a n00b. end of story
ok...ok...ok guys.....i did it because i couldnt get the CFW to work............. SIIIke haha i was just playing, i wouldnt do such thing...love my PSP as much as my gf..but spend more tyme wid my PSP hahahaha but yea like tha dude post b4 i did... juss be safe bout things and it was a noob loser..
Don't be such a spammer.Quote:

Hi all, I just downloaded PSafeP v. 1.2 (Dark Killer) because of this Virus or Trojan on the loose and scanned all my EBOOTs on my memory stick then came accross a couple of my Homebrew apps. that the program read there was "SUSPICIOUS FLASH ACCESS DETECTED!" and that was for __SCE__Dev Hook, DGEN, Homer's RIN v. 3.3, Links 2, NesterJ, SNES9XTYL, Wifi Sniffer, but there was one that the program read "Flash Access Detected, but appears to be read only" and that was for PSP Radio... Now my question is why are these EBOOTs reading this and most importantly how would I know if when I'm downloading an app. into my memory stick that I would get a Virus or Trojan because that app. read "SUSPICIOUS FLASH ACCESS DETECTED!" when the ones on my memory stick read the same thing and work perfectly fine...thanx for your time.
@ thaforgttenone
Learn how to spell.....it's just not juss
exactly what program is this virus in?
come on now people if you want to piss someone off do it in person by peeing on their shoe or something. dont make some crappy trojan and do it from miles away. BE A MAN. or a WOMAN if thats the case.
Sorry, yet agen. This time for not using the right spelling of a word. Just got stuck on blogging mode when typing. Next time, the task of typing towards a reply on this site will be carried out in a correctable manner. I just like spelling it that way.
But back to the topic, any known sites that where hosting/had this Virus or Trojan? I just want to know what sites to back off of.
MY PSP IS BRICKED :'( im so pissed off im sending it to sony :"(
keefur your sig is WAY too big. ur gonna get it deleted.
Haha it's hella cool though! :)
dang that thing is a page long
Ok so I have got devhook working emulating firmware 1.5. I could not do it with do it with devhook 0.46 so I had to use my old not used 32mb stick and put devhook 0.45 on it. I tried many ways to get it working with version 0.46 but non worked so I guess the 32mb stick will be my checking programs stick. Just for a last chance does anybody know how to get version 1.5 working with 0.46?
Now if I use the emulated 1.5 firmware this does not make my PSP 100% safe, does it, there still is a chance that this trojin will still write to the psp flash?
Nope, the most it will do is mess up devhook. Plus it was an isolated case, as yet it hasn't been spread by any means.Quote:

ah well...this was bound to happen at one point or another...thx for the warning
thanks for the warming man, but still tho -_- i cant believe that there is a virus for psp...OMG that means that i musnt download like crazy then -_-.
It's a false positive, they all don't write to flash. They are safe.Quote:

Most of homebrew is safe, but like said above, the only known one so far is "SDL_TEST-5".Quote:

well Hi this is my first post but here me out
ever herd the saying that theres good in everything... This Zarp2000 guy has created the greatest downgrader. If you PURPOSELY brick your PSP because you uprgrade it or something you can unbricker it with Pandora's Battery the came out last month by Noobz, C+D and others. I know this works I just finished unbricking a friends PSP If someone can help me put up the videos of the process i'll be happy to add evidence :thumbup:
the site is http://www.noobz.eu/joomla/news/unbr...firmwares.html check it out if you have or know of someones brick
PS: if anybody knows where i can get the SDL_TEST-5 (psp bricker) pls pm me thxx
And why do we care? You're most likely lying.
so if this malicious code thing ****s our psps, up will we still be able to use pandora to recover it?
Don't bump old threads. This is old anyway, dates back to October...
Bumping such old threads has to be one of the most annoying habits on forums that exists. It wouldn't be so bad if the information you posted was actually correct. The fact is, you do not need to purposely brick your Psp before being able to use Pandora on it.Quote:
