Ó

Yep, you read that right folks. Mere days after its launch and somebody's already hacked the PSP Go. Hold your horses, though! There are a few caveats.


The one responsible for this hack is FreePlay, who you may know for his work on the Sparta SDK and his recent run-ins with Team Mack. Before you go out an buy a Go thinking it's wide open to homebrew, here are a few disclaimers from the dev:

  • This was a known exploit that was abandoned because better prospects came along. I did not discover it; I just figured out how to make it work properly. Better hackers than I likely figured it out way before I did; they just never used it for anything I know of.
  • I won't be releasing this or divulging the name of the game involved. It's a proof-of-concept, and it may become more developed privately, but until there's a worthwhile reason to release it it'll stay private. I'd prefer that Sony not patch it before it becomes really useful.
  • It's user-mode only, meaning no flash modification, no piracy, no advanced custom themes, no plugins - none of that. I wouldn't expect anything else to come from it, unless I get some help.

There's no telling if this exploit will eventually be made public, but at least now we have definite proof that the Go isn't homebrew-proof after all. Kudos to FreePlay for a job well done (also, thanks for telling us about it)!

phuck team mack
FreePlay is the man.
still think FreePlay has to set you up to get peoples respect erique555?

he's had our respect for a long time


   Re: spylogo - 2009-10-04
 » seriously..

Do you have to start this argument just because you are going to win? Of course this is probably legit, and of course he deserves respect, but the community is going to crap with people, including you, who just want to get in on being the winner. Screw piracy, screw noobs who can't get what they want, what happened to the days when people looked towards homebrew? homebrew has died because no one has any initiative to develop. Sure it will probably get hacked, but what then? WHAT THEN? a short burst of development, and then another patch, and looped all over again. My two cents... just don't screw this up Freeplay, be the man, not the respected martyr .

 » how about me telling these dumbasses

i dont think xavis and erique555 are the same.
i dont like team mac they can go to hell, but they made me laugh with their fake ass video and hilarious fake updates.
freeplay used to ring a bell in my mind during the liberty city stories hack era but im just not interested anymore due to the recent fight with which makes him as childish as the ones he verbally fought with.
kudos to freeplay for bringing this exploit up, it will sure bring those slackers back to being hackers, and those pirates hopeful.
and yeah good thinking on part of freeplay not giving this exploit to everyone just to get recognized, hopes this can eventually lead to full blown iso loader.
but until then dark alex is still the best hacker/psp programmer i have been ever be grateful with, shoutouts to others who helped.

   Re: UltimaArmorX - 2009-10-08
 » What a bummer.

It must be really hard to trust the "hackers" (so yo u call them) to help. Because surely that means sharing code, yes? It would be a mistake. Every "hacker" has released their junk. This is now the only private exploit. A great idea, really. I wish DA did this. But dude trust someone for help and they release it... BAM, Patched. We all know it. Good luck with the trusting for help FreePlay.

I remember the good old days of switching memory cards, developing, having to change the kernals of games and then custom themes.

Personally, I am looking foward to the Pandora, where development is where it is at.

What is cool about this exploit is that the game being exploited is on the PSN. Meaning if this exploit ever comes through to the user stage it would be easy to get your hands on.

Instead of course buying it for an extravagant price on ebay like some of community did. (GTA:LCS, Wipeout, Lumines, etc...) :-/


   Re: symbal - 2009-10-03

The problem is if you have to buy game from PSN Sony could just pull it from the store and have it fixed.

FreePlay, You've once again earned my respect. I may be behind on your previous exploits, but debunking the 6.00 ruse and now this really speaks for you (has anyone else noted that we haven't seen any other videos from them? p0wnd!)

Anyway, I'm still holding onto my 1000 for now, as I hate SCEA for not allowing us to import our old games. Give us reason that we could transfer .cso's onto the 16GB Memory and I may be convinced to shell out or one and keep my old one as a UMD Drive for cheap UMD alternatives.

Peace!

   Re: Aces In The Palm - 2009-10-03
 » as akadewboy said on maxconsole

dont get excited
this may never see a public release
why?
you need a game
that has to be downed from PSN (remember you need latest firmware to do this)
the game will have to be known.
this game is not UMD since its for Go.
sony will pull the game from download and patch it.
you need to be hoping for another tiff exploit.
game exploits on the Go just are not reliable because they can be patched to easy.
there will not be unpatched copies on shelves you can buy.

   Re: Erique555 - 2009-10-03
 » Oh shut up

If the person who made the exploit, he/she will know how to use it and turn it into a cfw, and even if Sony pulls the game, he/she will convert the exploit to work on another save, then we will have cfw on the go

   Re: FreePlay - 2009-10-03

Two things:

1. Yes, a non-game-based exploit would be better.
2. You actually can convert from one game's exploit to another, sort of. The code for this Hello World and the code for the GripShift Hello World are essentially the same. Once you've got your foot in the door, and you can load a binary file, it won't typically take a lot of tweaking to get the binary working with a new game.

In fact, I think all I had to do was edit two or three lines of text...

   Re: Aces In The Palm - 2009-10-03
 » just goes to show how much you know

its not as easy as that.
not all games are exploitable the same way.
probably the type of person who hex edits a save, gets a crash and thinks its an exploit.
the crash has to create a buffer error that allow arbituary code to run.
not all games do this.
and ones that do need to be exploited in different ways.
you truly know nothing bout this stuff do you

If he was able to run a Hello World program from a save, which exploits a game, could we not start distrubuting user level hombrew contained in these hacked saves? Boot game, load save, enjoy homebrew? Different save for different homebrew?


   Re: FreePlay - 2009-10-03
 » Easier than that

My examples so far have all run off of a binary loader which is built into the savedata, similar tp the one used for GripShift. You can just swap binary files in and out of the memory stick.

   Re: AnalogMan - 2009-10-03
 » ...

So what you're saying is the altered save is a loader that can be used to launch other homebrews? Correct me if I'm misunderstanding.

Also, I did an experiment with PSN content. I bought a game and loaded it on two PSPs. I then copied the game folder from one PSP to another, but left the license files. The game ran, which tells me the game isn't PSP specific. I haven't been able to try it with a game purchased on another account. But is it possible, that if someone were to upload the unpatched game, then Sony patched it, one could buy the patched one for the license file, but replace the game folder with a downloaded unpatched one?

Let me down easy if I'm being idiotic, I don't have much experience downloading PSN content or anything.

   Re: Untopped555 - 2009-10-03
 » @Analogman

I dont think sony would be that "careless"... i'm pretty sure sony has some sort of verifier in the license file that checks the game for the correct ID (not game id)

would be nice if that worked :P

   Re: FreePlay - 2009-10-03
 » Well...

The system has to be activated, via the XMB option or by a PS3. To be activated, you have to connect to the PSN. There's a limit on how many systems can be activated for games per account. The license and game files can be shared between as many systems as you like, but unless the systems are activated, the licenses won't work.

   Re: AnalogMan - 2009-10-04
 » License

Yes, I understand the license and 5 PSP limit. I meant, can you buy a game so you have the license, then have that same game, from a DIFFERENT source, work with your license? Thus, buying a patched game, then replacing it with the older, unpatched, same game?

Then if Sony does patch it, people can still buy it regardless than just replace the patched one with the unpatched on their memsticks?

Or is the game encrypted in some manner to the PSN account and not just the license?

   Re: Aces In The Palm - 2009-10-04
 » i'd say

there would be a MD5 check or something like that.
it wouldnt be that simple

   Re: Untopped555 - 2009-10-04
 » @AnalogMan

Think of it this way if you write some software (that ppl have to buy) and you end up updating it with a patch, would you want a way for your software to be free against your will?

like Aces said there is some sort of MD5 check between the game file and the license file that would prevent the license swapping idea

   Re: AnalogMan - 2009-10-04
 » @Untopped555

Alright, so there is a check on the game data. I wasn't intending getting it for free at any point. You'd still have to BUY the updated one so you'd get a legit license file, I was only wondering if it's possible to use that license with an older version of the same game. Like if it was only attached to some game ID or something. but you said there IS a check on the games actual data so I guess that's a no go.

I was hoping to find a way to dispel fear of Sony patching exploitable games by still buying it and then just using the unpatched game data. Guess a game based exploit just won't be good enough on a PSP go with instant patching.

   Re: FreePlay - 2009-10-04
 » Well...

It's really simple: You have to patch the game manually, using an "Update Game" menu option. Just never do that :P

   Re: spylogo - 2009-10-04
 » haha

Well, I will give you my opinion then. First off... this exploit doesn't allow pirated games directly anyways, and the pspgo doesn't have an existing driver to play Umds/isos . Most of the homebrew community has moved on, sadly. If all goes well, we might have lots of fun stuff developed, but most developers are people who just develop on the cheap devices they have. If I were them, I would check out the new Pandora, which runs on linux and a powerful arm processor. The go isn't that much of a revelation, but look at all the people who viewed this article. Hack + iso, to them, and I hope that freeplay will handle this well and allow the homebrew community to be given fresh air, and not feed the pirates in their little holes in the ground while on their computers typing little comments to erupt flame wars.

maybe another couple 1000 next year
its hardly a product that alot of will be able to get, or even wanna get, or even care about.
yes it might be great for homebrew, but if its too expensive, with no big names making AAA or even A or B grade games for it, it's likely to turn into a lack lustre unit.
