Libtiff Exploit Found in Firmware 4.20 for PSP3000 Owners ?

[titch.ryan]

interesting, it didn't take long for exploits to be found!
hopefully some of them prove to be true. i've given up waiting for A star titles crisis core is the only psp game i've bought in the last year!

good news for the PSP.
It's instantly a more desirable item, and Sony should still have a lock on
homebrew by shipping with OFW 5.01

Excellent! I hope more devs get excited about the future of PSP homebrew.

no offense guys (And I seriously don't want to start a flame war)

I think an image just crashing won't prove anything but if it crashes and then something like a hello world pops up, that's a whole different story (And we have to put in account that, even if this works, you might only have user level access not kernel level access which you need for hacking or replacing the firmware).

Again, don't want to start a flame war. but to me, this was useless.

About gripshift... Never played it nor care (doesn't make a difference to me) but if by any chance there is an exploit found, it happens.

Sooner or later pirates find their way to hack the console.

Deal with it.

a hello world will only pop up if somebody programs it to. this is just to show a possible exploitable error in the sony firmware code. So a hello world means just about nothing, other then to prove it can be exploited. And sony obviously did not code the firmware to display hello world whenever an exploit is found. And its not "pirates" who hack the console. The sole reason the console is hacked is to give people the ability to do as they choose with their hardware. I have a hacked psp, and i dont pirate games, i simply use iso's of games i already own (carrying around UMD's is a pain) and emulating games i already own. Therefore you clearly have no clue what you are talking about, so please refrain from posting about things you arent experienced in in the future.

yes, agreed. as long as a pandora battery like item doesnt come out in the near future, they should have a good grip on homebrew and piracy.

[mangekyou]

a pandora battery like item? what- like datels battery? lol. but seriously, maybe we should just leave the 3000 alone. focus on the 4000 thats rumored to be coming out this year. let sony win this one. the 2000 is just as good anyway...

Like I said ._. don't want to start a flame war

but, if no one programmed a hello world, then what does this proove? that someone found someway of crashing the PSP through Tiff?

but let me tell you this, i DO know what I'm talking about.

don't care if you think otherwise.

and yes, I do know that its not pirates who hack the PSP, but experienced hackers. Chose the wrong words. sue me.

and yes, I know the various uses of the custom firmware for DAX, heck I've used it since I got my PSP-1001

now, lets just stop this before it gets worse

exactly, a hello world shows theres a real exploit there, i can phase the voltage on my psp and get it to whitescreen, doent mean i can turn around and run super nintendo on it, just like i can bluescreen windows, doesnt mean i can magically hit enter 3 times and run mac os programs on it

also if you hadnt had your head up your ass for the last year and a half, MOST developers have sited custom firmwares and piracy linked together of why they are not making games for the psp

i suggest you take your own advice, and not post about stuff you dont know about

i agree with the person you quoted, so what you crashed a psp, show that the unlock codes are still in memory, show a hello world, then you might have something more than passing bad bits tru a tiff or a corrupted save file that does nothing

yes, agreed. as long as a pandora battery like item doesnt come out in the near future, they should have a good grip on homebrew and piracy.

they already have, almost instantly after the 3000 came out, same thing, doesnt DO anything other than put the psp into service mode, without the software, even a simple hello world, its worthless

Whoa, totally off topic guys, lets keep it to the topic.

Finally an exploit has come out, its time to put all those 3000 owners out of misery.

[mike_jmg]

I agree with you wally 3000 owners need to be pulled out of their misery

my gripshift hunting ended up pretty bad, as the only copy I've seen is in the hands of that awful MF that moded my PS2 and he wants around 34 bucks for it not even knowing there might be a exploit for it. Ignorance is bliss, and it really sucks

I shall continue my quest tomorrow as the flea market runs every sunday, happy new year to everyone BTW.

edit: I knew there were some savegame exploits that were nerver released, and they're maybe our last chance to run homebrew on the 3000
