BREAKING NEWS - Hello Brave New World (2.0-2.8 tiff exploit)All PSP Firmwares Cracked

[QueadlunnRau]

WOW this is great news!!! This news almost made me into a lier!!!

All my buddies want PSP's that run homebrew but I tell them not to get a new PSP to do this as anything with FW2.71 or higher cannot be downgraded/exploited ... Thank God I told them "Cannot run these homebrew yet."

[carpy]

1.50 firmware runs a lot faster than 2.60 thats why its considered the best (also you can run eboots straight from the game option). Devhook works perfectly and theres not really much fidelling around with it...you can already run 2.80 in devhook too.

1.50 runs WHAT a lot faster? the Menu? Who gives a $#@! how fast the menu runs? You're only in the menu for like 2 seconds anyway.

With this exploit, all Homebrew will have the SAME Kernal access that 1.50 has. Meaning - All homebrew will run at the same speed on 2.60 that it does on 1.5.

This isn't an "already in RAM Eloader". It's a Kernal level exploit, same as 1.50.

i wonder if this the 2.0 downgrader will work with this

No, the higher firmware have more overhead cause of the extras and it is noticable. Besides there are such things as the music and photos folder (which some people would actually use) so ya, you are in the xmb for more than two second And I'm pretty sure there are limits on what you can run on 2.60 etc

…?
…?
hmmmm…?

Right?

So to all you guys who keep saying "A 1.50 Downgrader is the BEST situation" - Um, I guess that's not the case anymore - is it?

Why the Hell would a 2.60 TA-082 PSP owner want to downgrade their PSP to 1.50, if using this exploit they would have the SAME abilities as a 1.50 user, PLUS the benefit of a current firmware, and not having to flash their PSP, i.e. NO RISK OF A BRICK.

you are forgetting that the menu for loading homebrew on 2.0+ will *always* fill up some of the memory, which could be used for homebrew.

theis might not seem important to you if the homebrew you want runs fine, but i happen to know that pspuae is very memory hungry if you will let it be, and if it is to ever suport harddrive emulation, every free byte is gonna count!

that's why -I- would prefer to have 1.5 devhooked up than run any form of e-loader through an exploit. exploits will *always* use more memory... although this will no doubt be a lot more memory efficient than the GTA exploit!


so yes... "it is the case" that in some instances it would STILL be better to have 1.5

for those people who were wishing that the exploit would have been under wraps till 3.0 or whatnot. if you would have visited PSPupdates (not saying they are great or anything) they posted news on this exploit like a week ago, though it wasnt running code as of yet. So, sony already knew about the problem most likely.

also for those who were saying maybe the exploit was left in there on purpose..i doubt that. If the exploit was found in a game, id believe it (increase game sales), but not in the xMb.

but, if sony hadnt known about this exploit, it would have been great to hold off on it for a lil bit, as the PS3 can view TIFF files too....homebrew on the PS3 anyone?

lol

psiko.

[nyrtrublue]

Good news I guess but why now ! These guys should have kept this under the radar untill 3.0, oh well I guess homebrew for all.

I was wondering if anyone else felt this way. This shoulda stayed under the radar the psone emulator is coming out in the next couple of months and maybe the exploit woulda still been there. Now devs may need another exploit soon.

[Hiei311]

oh just great it comes out on the same day as my
gp2x got here, gettin the gp2x is good for when the psp has to be updated....great ****in news cant wait 4 the downgrader for 2.8

[brymaster]

Geez I love my timing

I upgraded to 2.71 cus homebrew was going slow, 2.6 downgrader comes out next day

Spent 40 on a new 1.5 so i could use all the delicious homebrew

And of course a few days later this happens

Kill me

lol i dont want homebrew for all

as mean as it sounds, i worked hard for my 1.5, why should idiots enjoy the wonderful (not allowed to say in forums) i do

You're a ****ing moron.
