eLoader 0.98 "Porter" - 2.0+ Homebrew for PSP without GTA! |
Listed in: Hacks & Exploits, Homebrew Applications, News Tags: Ditlew, eLoader, Fanjita, Porter, psp exploits, psp hacks, XMB
Ó
And the Noobz crew isn't one to disappoint. How about I tell you that you can skip buying that GTA UMD for using homebrew on 2.00 and above! Using the recent TIFF exploit in all the higher firmwares, Fanjita and Ditlew have been able to "port" the eLoader to the TIFF exploit. Earlier, homebrew on higher firmwares was run using the savegame exploit by Edison Carter. Now, rather than wasting time by starting GTA every time you want to use homebrew, you can simply go the the Photo section and start the eLoader. Heck, it's actually faster than even 1.0/1.5 homebrew since you don't have to view that "flashing bulbs" video. And the best part is that it doesn't matter whether you have a TA-082 PSP or not, you can play homebrew regardless!
Here's the official announcement from Noobz.eu
"Noobz are proud to announce the release of the latest eLoader version, 0.9.8, otherwise known as the "Porter" release.
This version brings user-mode homebrew to v2.0-v2.6 PSPs, without the need for Grand Theft Auto. Now, almost all the software that worked with GTA can now be used without it."
This is great news for all those who couldn't find an unpatched GTA UMD anywhere and had to make do with official stuff. Apart from the major re-release, there are two minor changes:
- eMenu has been improved in various small ways.
- The default menu is now eMenu, the old menu has been retired.
The few things which seem to be missing right now are kernel mode homebrew loading and the ability to use it on FW 2.71 and above.
A few people are wondering what's the difference between kernel mode and user mode. Well, in pure technical terms, the PSP's processor (or other similar processors for that matter) can run in two modes, either user mode or kernel mode. The mode in which the processor is running determines the different functions which you can use. For example, access to the PSP's flash requires kernel mode. That's the main reason why there wasn't a downgrader for 2.01 and above PSPs all this while. Nonetheless, most of the homebrew runs well enough in user mode itself. It's only a few applications like File Assistant and ISO loaders which require kernel mode. You can always check if your favorite homebrew is running well with eLoader using the above links.
You shouldn't be worrying though, the Noobz crew is hard at work getting all the great features into the new eLoader. Here's what they had to say:
"By now you're probably wondering, "What on earth is Porter?". Or maybe, what's next? Well, here's a rough roadmap for what we're currently working on:
- A user-mode loader for v2.70 and v2.71.
- A user-mode loader for v2.80.
- A loader to support kernel-mode homebrew on those platforms where it is possible.
- A way to do away with eLoader altogether, and load homebrew directly from the XMB.
We will not predict when these will be ready (so please don't ask!), but we're working as fast as we can on them"
I personally can't wait for the possibilities in the future. Kernel mode loading for homebrew looks really really enticing. The upcoming versions of the eLoader might just attract all the homebrew crowd and dethrone the "golden" 1.5 firmware.

It\'s uh --edited--, yeah that\'s it!
hehe, no seriously, I think they would appreciate donations, I hope you find their real paypal, and to any smart ass, feel free to go and spam bomb the e-mail I listed, it\'s not really mine.
I would love to have a 2.71 firmware that could do everything that I can do now in 1.5 but without having to boot back and forth. That would be sweet!
Give me that, and I\'ll be looking for the paypal address too!

I thought that was the whole point of developing it.

That would be incredible. It would definitely make all the Ta-082 users out there jump for joy, and make sure that everyone will be up to date. But, PLEASE GUYS, release this hack after 3.00 comes out. Why? Because then Sony won't be able to make a security update in 3.00!

As for "access to the PSP's flash requires kernel mode:" Not true. 2.00's downgrader wrote to flash0 from user mode, as Fanjita so generously corrected me.

Only thing is, what makes this exploit different from the old 2.0 one? I know the 2.0 one was patched, but this exploit sounds awfully similar. Sony really didn't catch the little difference I guess?

For those with Questions - and there are many (just READ people!), see below.
For the Confused -
User Mode vs Kernel Mode - if you've ever worked in a *nix environment, Kernel is roughly equivilant to Root. With Kernel mode, you can write to the onboard flash easily, access the media engine, and gain more control over the CPU and onboard functions. User mode cannot (normally) write to flash, access the media engine, and other differences. Main difference between them - Kernel needed for Media Engine (which makes SNES9XTYL so damn fast), some CPU optimizations (I believe, someone more familiar could correct me), and for Downgrading (unless you can trick your way around it (like the 2.00 downgrader).
2.71 Has Kernel Mode with the current exploit, 2.8 does not, though the eLoader does not currently take advantage of the kernel mode exploit in 2.71.
If you don't have GTA, you can downgrade a 2.0-2.6 PSP by upgrading to 2.71 and then downgrading.
The downgrader does NOT work on 2.8, since currently the exploit cannot access kernel mode in the 2.8 firmware.
Both versions of the eLoader work on TA-082 mobos, but the downgrader WILL BRICK A TA-082 PSP.
Hope this clears up the confusion.

To ppl who usually say.. "He did alot for you" well let me tell you.. Dark_alex, with all my respect did thousands times more than Fanjita, I'm happy not to deppend on that guy from now on (Fanjita) since I downgraded my 2.50 back to 1.50 on the first day of the 2.50/2.60 downgrader.
What pissed me more off.. I have the feeling that this guy always try to get credits for others accomplishement s!

Ace job guys. Thanks for keeping with the PSP dev.

Another thing is the endless slamming of people who upgraded to 2.80. Not everyone finds out about homebrew right away. Nobody deserves any of this any more than anybody else. You're not all high and mighty because you never upgraded past 1.5. I remember when I first get into all of this, I had 2.5 (which was pre-loaded onto my PSP, mind you) and there was endless slamming of anyone with 2.5/6 about how they don't deserve homebrew for upgrading. Then it happened with 2.7(1) users and now 2.8.
This is great news for the homebrew community in general. Things like this can only expand the homebrew community, which is never a bad thing. Sure, it brings in more noobs, but everybody needs to remember one thing-- we were ALL noobs at one point in time.
Keep up the great work!!!

Keep it up!!!
Hope for the kernel-mode eLoader for TIFF on 2.X PSPs!!!

A lot (if not most) 2.5-2.6 users need this e-loader because of TA-082 motherboards which cannot be downgraded.
127-
I'll say again: TA-082. If they try to downgrade then they will end up with a very expensive paper weight.

Finally, good work guys. Regardless of the nay-sayers whom refuse to give you guys credit, you all are a great ally to those who continue to fall prey to firmware upgrades with a lot of hype and little substance.

If you updated (when you have been given many chances to stay at lower firmwares, EVEN if you have a factory 2.5/2.6!), you should have waited a bit longer
Keep up the good work noobz!

#134: You stupid idiot. You already gave your money to Sony when you bought the PSP. Don't gimmie all that "Don't feed the corporations" crap to try and justify piracy. It impacts the individual development studios more than Sony. If you don't buy games, the studios can't keep running. That means no more games. You should also realise that the computer you used to type that comment was made by a corporation. How would you feel if all corporations died? Would it make you feel good? I'd like to see how good it feels to go to a shop to find that all of a sudden, there's no TV's, computers, consoles, hell no more electronics because there are no corporations to make them. If the world was run by morons like you we'd still be sitting in caves.

I've only been playing homebrew for 2 days, as I own a TA-082 and was unable to before, and even I can simply get off my ass and find a version that works.
So once again:
Snes9xTYL 0.2 - Works Perfect
NesterJ 1.20alpha - Works Perfect
Hopefully they will fix it though so that we can play DGen, as it is the only non-working emulator that I care about ATM.
