Illuminati PSP Exploit - Image 1If this isn't one of the biggest updates in awhile for PSP gamers then I don't know what you're waiting for - go get a DS. However on a serious note, some PSP gamers love their PSP and all the "great features Sony has to offer", so much that they update their precious system firmware as to not miss a beat. Updating your PSP's firmware to the latest firmware has come at a cost, as some are left stuck without the glory of homebrew. All thats about to change, as Archaemic and Noobz have made some major progress on bringing homebrew to the newer firmware PSP's.

Homebrew working on all PSP firmware (even 3.50) with a Lumines UMD and Illuminati exploit!

I couldn't believe it either. Many of us are sitting next to our favorite puzzle game Lumines right now. With this new PSP exploit, the blissfully sweet puzzle game can now be forged like a double edge sword. Giving PSP owners, on ANY firmware the ability to play homebrew applications, games and emulators till our hearts content or till we explode from nostalgia. So without further ado check out the simple steps for running the Noobz 'Hello World' app, which in the future will transform into HEN (Homebrew Enabler) and a downgrader. Amazing!

Noobz Guide for running the Illuminati Exploit:
  • Check that you have an EU or US version of Lumines (ULES00043 or ULUS10002). Currently we don't have a version for the Japanese version, but we're working on it, as soon as we get hold of a Japanese UMD.
  • Extract the contents of the 'MS_ROOT' folder from the ZIP file into the top-level of your memory stick. (HINT: If you wind up with an 'MS_ROOT' folder on the stick, you've done it wrong).
  • Start the game, and as soon as it gets to the 'Press START' screen, press START. If you wait until the demo has started, the exploit may not work.
  • The screen should go blank, and the exploit will start after a few moments. It doesn't do anything except look pretty at this stage - but feel free to enjoy the first homebrew on your v3.10 - v3.50 PSP

Update: The Lumines based Downgrader for 3.50 PSP firmware has been released. Congrats to all that helped accomplish this amazing feat! Head on over to read all the details.

Damn I was hoping this would never happen. Being able to downgrade from 3.03 is good enough. As much as you *****es hate to see it, ISO loaders are making an impact on game sales. You can attempt to say "NO THHTEY'RE NOT, STUPID!" but you're wrong, killer. 3.03 downgrader is just fine, everyone who updated deserves to be left where they are. The less people that use custom firmware, the better. But I guarentee anyone who downgrades doesn't give a *****, lol, but they will when developers see how much piracy actually happens.

» RE:JIN

That statement of yours has got to be the most IDIOTIC ONE I'ved EVER heard.

NO ONE deserves to be left in the dark when it comes to homebrew.

I'm happily on 3.40 OE and all it's glory, but those whom *accidently updated their unit to 3.10+ also needs an option if they want to keep Sony's original FW or go beyond. Just as you and I, and countless of other PSP users out there had been granted with.

I think EVERYBODY needs to be a part of this scene regardless of their mistakes. Whether it be brikage or upgrades.



It's people like yourself that gives this scene a bad taste and if there was a way to teach you selfish n00bz like you a lesson, I and many others would've done it AGES ago.

by Jin - 2007-06-23 21:15

Anon, I'm all for arguments, but what you just said... makes no sense?



I said ISO loaders, I don't care if people use homebrew, homebrew applications kick ass. I was talking about piracy. ...I don't know how you misunderstood? You can't be that blunt.



And Anon, keep the "noob" comment to yourself kid, honestly. I got my PSP the first week it came out in the US. So? I don't know man that was just all around dumb, what little intelligence you tried showing about homebrew (even though you didn't get that either) was blasted away with that last comment of yours.



And J-Uk, who said that? You? lol. Okay. Not only do I not want this downgrader to come out (Which it will so oh well) but I also do not a PC PSP emulator (Fully working) to come out since many people plan on buying a PSP just for specific gmaes such as God of War, Silent Hill, and Final Fantasy (for examples.)



I want to be proved wrong, and I was hoping someone would do so about piracy and the effects of the developers, but so far all you two have done have tried to say "Everyone can use homebrew!" Obviously. ...So talk about being new? Or a "noob," Anon, don't even try.

err, great news for the homebrew scene - everyone gets the chance to downgrade etc etc sony screwed again, but this is inevitably going to have consequences for psp software sales cos there are too many people who just want to use isos. isos are fine, but only if you buy retail games AS WELL- otherwise it could get to the point of sony just saying screw the psp - there's too much piracy and software development could stop.

» Magic June Days

Kinda funny isn't it? Here we are in the last days of June and the homebrew scene is boiling over again just like last year.



I bought my psp because of the 2.6 downdater that was rolled out at the end of the month. I was amazed at all the GOOD HOMEBREW STUFF the psp was able to run. It turned the psp into a true multi game system.



Sure there's gonna be a lot of confused users with a ton of questions everybody has heard before, but to be able to use homebrew is a RIGHT not just an option. I believe every owner should be able to use any software they choose as long as it's not illegally obtained.



I believe that if you own the unit you should be able to run homebrew on or use it for a hockey puck. YOUR CHOICE.

I know I have an enabled homebrew psp, that I can use homebrew, backups and PSX games, but I want to try the Iluminati Exploit of lumines, I have the original UMD of lumines and a PSP it should work, and some some people reported me it works in a 3.40OE-A PSP, so it should work on my PSP but it only shutdowns it and I cant understand why... I'm only looking for a response.

Extract the file on to your desktop. You get a folder named MS_Root. Click on PSP, Savedata and copy the contents. Now navigate to your SaveData folder (PSP-->SAVEDATA) and paste those in here.



Be sure to make a backup of your data first though as it will overwrite it.

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://www.cashcrate.com/192904 you will sign up for a website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.

Companies such as ebay pay cashcrate to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, cashcrate simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,

I have made 472$ in April, 412$ in May, and 271$ (SO FAR) in June. You get paid in real checks from "KINGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,

but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)

You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from cashcrate. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH

JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.

Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.

Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"

There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

» What is Hello World for?

When someone is learning a computer language for the first time, their first lesson is usually to create a "Hello World" program. It's a very simple program that prints the words "HELLO WORLD" on the screen. That's all it does. It just prints the words, and that's it.



In hacking circles, it's used as a way of demonstrating the ability to run a computer program on a platform that otherwise wouldn't allow it. That's why the Illuminati hack is called a "proof of concept" hack. It demonstrates that a program can now be run on the latest firmware. This opens the door to other programs in the future, like downgraders, homebrew enablers, etc.



Hello World is just the first small step. Next comes the giant leap for all PSP-kind. :)

» AWESOME!

This is GREAT news! Amazing another exploit found in something else. Just goes to enforce my motto, "If it can be programmed, it can be hacked".



And now referring to "HELL YEAH!!" above me, he has no idea how to use XPANGO, you dont just get a new item by typing in one referral code. I myself am trying to get a new MP3 player cause my headphone jack messed up on my old one. What you do is you sign up for XPango, and then use a reference code someone gives you when you complete a free offer, they get one credit towards their item UPON YOU completing a free offer with their referral code used, and you can have people do it for you too. If anyone wants to help me, my link and Ref code are as follows:



My link: http://www.xpango.com?ref=90509197

Ref number 90509197

Thanks if you choose to help. Just sign up, and complete one of the free offers to help me get a credit towards my MP3 player. I would REALLY appreciate it. (BTW make sure its the FREE offers you do, wouldn't feel right to ask anyone to pay for anything to help me get something free)

» uk and us ... wahts the difference

Will it hurt my poor UK PSP if I upgrade to 3.50 using an the American firmware? Its the only one I can find and I want to try the Lumines thingy so I need 3.50 and not 3.51. Otherwise if anyone can host the eu firmware or can provide a link to an existing version then pleeeaaaase......
