New PSP exploit opens all versions for homebrew

[Robert]

Yes you read it correctly - this exploit opens any PSP (up to 3.50) for homebrew.

 

One of our staff (DragonKeeper) confirmed it works.

 

Read the full article HERE, and for your convenience, we've attached the exploit for you to download.

 

Note: You need to own a fully-legit original UMD copy of Lumines.

I can confirm this exploit works.

 

Also, it is a user-mode exploit that doesn't write to the PSP's flash memory. There is no chance you will accidentally brick by running this Hello World program, although any Homebrew Enablers or Downgraders released later using this exploit will carry some risk.

What version did you test with?

 

I'm going to modify the first post to say it works.

Just tried on 2 PSPs;

 

1) PSP TA-079 R4 - Firmware 3.40 OE-A - Lumines ULUS10002 - Works

2) PSP TA-086 R1 - Firmware 3.50 Official - Lumines ULUS10002 - Works

Rob, you should also add the motherboards DragonKeeper used (TA-079 and TA-086). That matters especially because the TA-086 is the newest motherboard found in PSPs with the best protection. (Unless I've been out of the PSP scene so long that they've come out with a TA-087 or some such? )

[BlackKnight]

As far as I know TA-086 is still the newest mobo revision.

Wow great to see this. And Lumines is so cheap. Much easier to get than the one version of VCS that worked with the previous exploit.

Update: For the exploit to work, you must be using "English" settings on your PSP.
