The entire PSP community was really excited about the Lumines exploit that was found recently. It was because of this exploit that the 3.50 downgrader was developed. Word has been circulating on the net that the newer Japanese copies of the game are requiring firmware 3.51, thus effectively eliminating the exploit. Tr. on the Noobz forums gave a link to a screenshot which allegedly comes from the Japan release of Lumines. |

i feel sorry for japan right now :( but there is always eBay :)
Just have a look at http://www.choicesuk.com/Product.aspx/!822450
I know a place that has 12+ copies of the Original Lumines... but they are $39.99
:(
they patched the japanse ones first because the jap discs already couldnt run trhe exploiit, so sony decided to patch them in hopes that the devs wouldnt even bother making the downgrader work on the jap ver.
Go to www.secret-code-x49.com to find out what my name and Subject mean. Believe me, it's worth knowing. +D
of course they were going to patch it
i feel sorry for japan right now :( but there is always eBay :)
I told my friend to buy a lumines version (to downgrade his 3.40 >> 3.50 PSP) now, because they gonne patch it... but he wanted to wait...
When are they patching the EU version?
That is the EU version. That's a UK store.
This sucks. I ordered my Lumines on June 26th. I'm guessing this is why it hasn't shipped yet. I guess I should cancel my order and start looking for a used copy.
@jdragon
yes mate cancel that order, or you will get a 3.51 version of Lumines
im expecting a copy to be shipped tomorrow and i bet its been patched
Once sellers get ahold of this info expect prices to double, triple, or even quadruple. Good thing, Lumines was the first game I got for the PSP.
Cool but look that http://lix.in/308681
In Portugal, Sony has recalled all Lumines UMDs. I get this news from a very reliable source, game store owner. So we could see one of this in Portugal soon.
Good thing i bought 6 copies of lumines to spread the wealth by selling them on Ebay.
I called EB Games in hopes of getting a copy but the guy said that Lumines had been pulled from store shelves because "That game was being used to pirate software"
The article says the patched version of Lumines comes with 3.51, yet the screeny clearly shows 3.50
PSPU has been here for a couple of years now. I suprised theyve made such an obvious error.
Not that the firmware that comes with the patched Lumines matters.
Obviously you didn't read. The text actually says something along the lines of. You currently have version 3.5 firm ware installed. You require version 3.51 firmware to play this game. Please update and try again.
I have a very limited understanding in Japanese but I believe in the screen shot it says that the current version is 3.50 and that you need to upgrade to 3.51 to play the game.
>lol
I can understand japanese and that is exactly what it said on the picture
Me + stupid :@
I found 3 copies of lumines at sams club, they 18.99ea
if they patched these this quickly, who knows how soon theyll start patching new games. bye bye god of war.. :'(
thats just g@y y sony y r u tring to kill homebrew
Ive had Lumines since it came out, but i downgraded along time ago via the 2.71 .TIFF exploit.
I have 5 Brand new copies of this game ( the original copies ) I will let them go at .99 a piece. I got them when I purchased a lot of games from ebay. Just put your email out here and tell me you want a copy , paypal is the only method
yokky4@yahoo.com
thanks dude!
Maury@houseofproduction.com
I want to buy one!
Im a get a copy of this tomorrow...hopefully its not patched...
I think that this was one of those 'waiting in the wings' type deals. There is no way Sony could have patched the exploit and had it on shelves in under 3 weeks. Often takes that long to ship the thing!
Sony called up the stores n told them to send all the copies of the games back...n sony shipped out new ones...since these games are made in asia Japan mostly get the games first... i dont even think gamestop have these anymore...

I knew there was a reason I bought lumines when I first got my PSP.... I hardly ever play it... But i'm glad I secured a copy none the less. Now just to up and downgrade my PSP.
I went to all the stores in Katy Mills in Texas... ALL Lumines games had been recalled!!! Its pretty hard to find the game 3 weeks later! Is there anyone who would lend it.. or sell it???
wow at wal-mart i bought like 3 copies of lumines all of them $18.98...i dont understand how other stores would sell a 3 year old game for $39.99...that price is usaully for New Releases but i can undestand the price raising on ebay and amazon cos people want to make money and people want to buy them
but im glad i ordered mine n ebay and ts unpatched
