2.70 Firmware Features New Album Art System |
Ó
We received notification via email (thanks, yoyoboymartin!) of a new feature in Firmware 2.70 that went unmentioned by Sony regarding the MP3
player. Before, in order to assign album art, you had to use a program
like Sonic Stage to embed it within the MP3 file. Now, with the new version out (2.70), you
can simply put the JPEG file in the same folder as the music, creating
the art for the playlist. Very useful when trying to organize your
music, but more importantly... Could this lead to a new exploit? While it would be pretty silly of Sony to make the same mistake twice, all
you hackers out there in forum-land will surely take a look at this and see what you can
do! Meanwhile, we'll keep you posted here at QJ. 18 Jumps Custom firmware 5.50GEN-D now out

so, what if your running sonic stage? it doesnt put music in the music folder. then where does the jpeg go?
ummm i dont know about other people who put music on their PSPs...but when i rip "legal" cds' into my psp (fw 2.60) i already have the album art on it....and i could easily remove/add different album covers by changing the settings on the folders
fan bloody tastic! The Loader off the memcard should come in handy too! Fanjita you legend, do it again!!! ;)
overflow.tiff seeks revenge!!!???
i'll look into this.
if it would lead to a exploit then why would they put it in?....
This was in 1.0..
this site sucks
When will people learn not to make posts like "first post, i own all"?
they keep cracking the firmwares... so why not this?
Agreed #9
why are you here then? checking the news.....?!
fanjitaaaaaaaaa u got sum hacking to do lol
"N00b" and "newb" both mean "newbie", which means a newcomer to a particular field.
"N00b" is the "1337" spelling of "newb".
"N00b" is sometimes taken to be offensive, in some cases. :/
Don't you realize Sony wants us to use homebrew. Just think about it .......people that try to hack this in their free time have been able to do it. They have probaly 15 workers working on one small feature and they have been programing for a long time and have jobs don't you think they can outsmart a couple of people that are fooling around with it (no offense to anyone that takes programing very very serously, just in general). This helps keep people interested in the psp why do you think you come back and check this website everyday? Let me answer that HOMEBREW. The only reason they don't make it easy is because they try to avoid piracy and it wouldn't be exciting anymore if sony gave up.
n00b being not knowing the rules, hence the offensive
first of all, you could do this before, so this is no big deal.
so does anybody know if it works?
i really wish that you are right, but i kind of doubt it
fanjitaaaaaaaaa u got sum hacking to do lol
What Does this mena exactly?
corrupted pictures wont show up under music in anyway.
clever sony, real clever.
well the art thing is really gay but the new exploit if found would be awsome! and why would anyone want to upgrade when 2.0+ is at its peak right now?
It means he plays his PSP in the shower. Fanjita couldnt hack a clock to tell time
This feature has been in the PSP at least since 1.5 because all I do is throw a folder.jpg file in with my mp3's and it picks it up.
umm wtf i got 1.50 and can view album art by just dropping my music into music folder,so how the hell is this anything new??????????
wow man this is old old old i have album art on my 2.0 even before i upgraded to 2.0 all my music had album cover this news is noob news lol
this isnt new..qj is just tarded.
who ever was saying all that stuff and acting gay there *****ing stupid because thats like that with my 2.5 so ***** u
Your two dads
it isnt new but it could lead to an exploit
the album art may have shown up before, but it had to be embeded in the mp3. the new system allows you to place a jpeg file in the same folder as your music and it will show up in the music group/folder menue, this means that you dont have to put the actual album cover in.
what expliot would do is trick the psp into thinking the program is a jpeg file and once you enter the music menu it will launch the progam and /allow for homebrew loading or even a possible downgrade to 1.50
-raven
the album art is for music subfolders. so if you rip a whole cd to ur memory stick and put it in a subfolder, the jpg shows up as the subfolder
I'll try it later.
how do u put album art on 2.6
just put the image under the artist folder?
that's cool
With a flash player wouldn't homebrew be easier? Couldnt many of the emulators be done with Flash?
I knew what the post meant.......these newbs at english need to reread the post...lol..... i understood it.
And I am thinking the same thing sorta......
did Sony finally "allow" homebrew to work and to help them out made the memstick bootable (in a sense)? this way Sony isn't supporting piracy but yet at the same time it allows homebrew to flourish.
Whether Sony will admit to it or not I dun really care.....proof is in the pudding orrrrr was there some sneaky programmer from within who wanted the homebrew to thrive and knew that the homebrew scene would discover this? hehehehehe either way....this should show a new birth of some kickass programming...eh?
I always put my own album art on ym mp3s anyway, and thsi only works if they are in a subfolder and it only works on the folder, not the individual songs, so this is not that big a deal and I can see why soyn didnt mention it
To embed pctures into songs just follow this guide:
1) Open up iTunes and drag your art into the box required.
2) Connect your PSP to your computer and open the MUSIC folder.
3) Drag the song from iTunes into the folder.
Easy as that. Hope this helps any questions.
fck 2.7
yea wat 53 and 54 said lol
Well Flash Player on 2.7 sucks... The homebrew Flash Player runs faster and has just as much compatablitiy, but the SONY flash player is slower than dialup even when booting a .swf off the mem stick ( Seems sony wanted people to shutup about flash player and "Hampered theirs to get updates)
2.7 IS OUT!!!!!!!!!! GO GET IT NOW!!!!!!!!!
i agree with 23
nocomment
well i just formatted my DUO and it now adds the COMMON folder so now there is 6 folders as opposed to 5..... I think this is new right? or am I mistaken?
why would u want to upgrade! u on the 58 comment .they have patched the gta exploit and thers not much to upgrade for unless u hate hombrew.!!!
I meant under \PSP\COMMON
Album Art is already avaible with atrac songs on 2.0+, using Sonicstage 3.4 to convert MP3 to atrac3, but if the MP3 one make noise in the scene, it should be different i guess^^
backslash is not acceptable....lol....... well how bout this then:
/PSP/COMMON
they say that this new update fixed problems with memory cards of 4more than 2gb having problems but they announced that kinda late meaning they did that part carelessly , maybe now memory sticks of more than 2gb will help on making an exploit.
Another thing is that you can put on your site or space the codes of a 1.5 firmware as a tiff image and load it off from the RSS , that sound like it could work.
What will be going in there I wonder...or is it used now?
not sure if i deleted that folder by accident but i copied PSP from duo straight to hd and then formatted memstick and now i have COMMON......
you could be onto something. But sony could have patched it up. its a good thought though, i'll try it.
but then again, rss feeds can only use a certain image file type, (not sure which one exactly, possibly jpeg) and im sure there is another image file that can have code written into it, not just .tif, so it could be possible
I came up with this first! I posted it as a comment on the 2.70 Reaching US and Japan post, and I even wrote a thread about this is Speculation! (Well first in hacks, then it got moved.) O_O I WAS THE FIRST OOOOOONE! Nobody listens to Dread! T_T
I totally agree with the comment from 13.
If you're going to hate, don't come here and bring your trash. Go to some other slow psp hacking website and have fun jerk. I agree with 54 all the way, someone wants this to happen. I'm not sure the GTA exploit was what he was expecting tho :P. Go Fanjita! The eLoader is fine now, unless you've found a breakthrough that can access kernal mode and downgrade to 1.0 :)... try some of these suggested ideas floating around and prove em wrong or right!
Can we still use the original image to overload? lets hope its THAT easy
i think its running on 333 cpu cuz its running a lot faster
umm my 2.6 psp does this? i put a jpg file in the folder and it displays i'm confused?
They won't work as the tiff exploit was patched in the libtiff library which is used system wide, same with libjpeg.
is sony toying with us to hack the firmware so they could find out the problem? or do they WANT us to use homebrew?
..........
only time will tell
we could just be helping sony patch wholes as we find them... oh well a few months of homebrew is worth it before the next great game comes out and you have to upgrade.
this was allready possible in 2.0 firmware , noobz x)
I had this on my 2.5 and I used Itunes just to associate the mp3 with the Jpeg. And then copied the songs onto my psp. It worked fine.... This isn't new news... WTF?
you put gif image in folder not jpeg. jpeg doesn't work.
.jpg needs to be 200 x 200 pixles or less to work well.
yea he is, seeign the headline "NEW EXPLOIT IN 2.XX!!!!!" is exciting! But if sony gave up, at leats we coudl ahve all that homebrew and features, so its sorta exciting for a while, but then just a buncha games in the end.
QJ is *****ing retarded this is so *****ing old.
this isnt new.. i got a 2.60 and my album works straight off..
Come on people think about it, sony just released a crap firmware update with old flash player,
why?
well use your brains and not your *****s. They released this firmware with crappy and old flash player so that sony could see how hackers get hombrew working in a much tuffer firmware security that is 2.7.
When a hacker find a way to hack 2.7 then sony will eventually block that, and it will be done when psone emulator is available, meaning no hombrews ever again.
If you are trying to hack 2.7 or have hacked it, i suggest you keep it to yourself until 3.0 firmware is here, which should have psone emulator and the latest flash player, and of course games like tekken and battlefield.
i can run isos on 2.7!!! TIS AMAZING!! ITS BETTER THAN 1.5!!! i can make all of the homebrews work!!!!
lol
2.7 owners. get a life. dont go whining. *which is what everyone told you not to do* you upgraded. stop thinking that anything that may be possible exploitable is gonna have an outcome
seriously, if you dont like 2.7... why did you upgrade???
fools.
DONT HACK IT, OR AT LEAST KEEP IT HIDDEN!!!
sony is trying to get us to hack this version so they can fix it in the next and theyll keep doing it till every single possible hole is fixed and theres is no possible way to ever downgrade or play homebrew again and then after that sony will be bought out by Microsoft and the entire gaming industry will laugh at them for trying to put an end to the one thing that is selling the psp
this works on 1.5 always has
What the hell is a noob?
i dont get wat 2.7 is for , or what it dose
NO.90 Your a f**king little to$$er you couldnt get an ISO to run on 1.5 nevermind 2.7 no go play with buses ,fu**ing geek
MS 360 is a fu**ing disaster the PS3 will pi$$ all over it the fu**ing thing dosent run properly any old X-Box games you try and run u get probs,Betcha dont get that with the PS3,Anyway this is about PSP,S something u aint got so FU&& OFF DWEEB
dus any1 here no how 2 get flash 7 on the psp? plz reply
does the .jpg need to have a specific file name? because I have tried several times and the album art doesnt show
hahaahhaha her name is fanjita lol jkin shes 1 smart muthafu*ker cheers mates psp 4 lyf safe
ok to get flash you need a v2.7 psp after you have that go to system settings and then enable flash player make sure you have a wifi box nearby because you need o acees internet to get java/flash
wait up people.....i keep all my music in the music folder so if i want to add teh album art then i just gotta get the pic and name it the same thing or summin?
why not embed a piece of code into the jpeg file, or even better, rename a tiff to a jpeg and try to run a program from the playlist? It's worked before...
oh, and #102, Fanjita is a guy
You know - I gave up on the 2.60 exploit assuming it wasnt going anywhere (umd runners) so I upgraded to 2.71 - and now they have only gone and found an exploit that Fanjita is working on getting to work through his E-loader :(
