[QUOTE=gunntims0103;459714]wow i just got back home from work and look what comes out. A brand new downgrader. QUOTE]

no downgrader yet... just an exploit

probably wont be a downgrader yet b/c its a user- mode exploit but... i cud be wrong

Yeah... This rules. Lumines is MUCH easier to get one's hands on than the old version of GTA:LCS. Just about any store that carries PSP stuff would have a copy.

Being the skeptic I am, I just tried it. And.... well.... I'm a beliver now! Good work, you guys! Novus Ordo Seclorum an' all that stuff!

The main obstacle to getting downgraders and HENs and the like to work in the first place is just running unsigned code. Honestly, this is a HUGE chunk of the battle already.

Besides... I can almost hear the keyboard clicking of tens of homebrew programmers working on a downgrader as I speak.....

true... thats how many homebrew apps and downgraders got created... from the base
hopefully, apps will be made quickly and maybe a downgrader will come out soon.

Heh. I give it 48 hours max.

If this exploit is similar enough to the GTA:LCS exploit in how it works, then it could simply require a modification of existing downgraders to fit the new exploit.

Yes, user mode is definitely a big step.
Fantastic discovery. Good job Noobz team.

And a HEN or even ELoader shouldn't be far off, but that is just speculation.

Would downgrading from the game be as dangerous as other ways?

**Tesseract** · June 24th, 2007, 05:18

When you're playing with fire, there's always the possibility of getting burned. If there is a downgrader made, it will have the same risks as every other downgrader.

HOWEVER, downgrader writers have gotten much better at making safeguards to do what they can to prevent unfortunate circumstances.

I'd even go so far as to advise waiting for a downgrader from Team noobs or C+D or someone reputable like that before trying anything else. It's NOT worth the risk to jump on the first shmuck who says they've built a new downgrader.

I'd do the same.... i remember way back last year around this time or in may when the 2.5-2.6 downgrader came out and it bricked every psp it was ran on. Then it got modified (i think by D-A) and it worked(used it on my 1st psp... it survived)... this is why I wait at least 12 hrs before using ANY downgrader (unless approved by trusted devs) to see what other people say about it (or to watch unsuspecting noobs to brick their psps b/sc they couldnt wait ahahah... jks). Downgraders now-a-days have become more secure and stabler. I could even argue that they are even better than sony's official updates(in safety and security... i feel more secure running a noobz generic downgrader than a sony official updater=P). Anyways, thanks once again to every1 involved in the production of this exploit and breakthrough
