PSP hacked?

[Clashman]

Tom's Hardware is reporting that someone figured out how to extract ISO's from UMD's to memory stick.

http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/20050608_133051.html

Right now there's no way to run them off of memory sticks, but Tom's says there apparently will be a utility released that allows that within days. This is all only on 1.0 PSPs, of course.

TH is hardly reporting anything nowadays. you may want to take a glimpse at psphacker.com once in a while ; )

Well, I hadn't seen it advertised elsewhere on this forum, and I actually didn't see it even on TH first, but on gizmodo.

the first release was on 5/5/2005 . Ridgeracers

last week , the tool to extract umd contens has leaked to the general public, thats why it comes as some "news" by now

Looks like the DS is next up:

CybBlade of our Forums (and iRC EFnet #xxxz) confirmed tonight that PsP-Dev now have a working v1.50 exploit for running "homebrew" or unsigned code from it, similar to what NEM did for v1.00 firmware PSP users. A brief video of this in action can be found on their Web site HERE for those interested, and on 6/15/2005 (15:00 GTM+1) they plan to publically disclose the method used in Tutorial format to the world! We at Team PS2NFO congratulate our Spanish affiliates, and look forward to LOTS of nice "homebrew" releases to follow along with even more UMD dumps! Please post all related feedback on this VERY COOL news in THIS on-going Forum thread. Finally, we'd like to make it known that the legitimacy of this news has already been 100% confirmed by myself via high-ranking scene elders... so no, this is NOT another "fake video" nor publicity stunt- it's REAL!

v1.5 also.?

What about 1.52?

 

[digitalwanderer]

How big are the UMD images? I only have a 512Mb stick so far....

 

[Teasy]

So this hack lets you run unsigned code from a memory stick? What about running signed code like PSP games? Most of them will fit on a 256MB stick.

 

[hey69]

only 2 images are bigger then 1 gig. a lot of those games are surprisingly very small
