Cool

The exploits have started hapaning. hopefully a cso/iso back up add on comes from this exploit but i guess i dont really care. just good to be able to play homebrew again ;) keep up the good work homies :) ...lol i have 2. first post niccas!!!

Cause?

So what is the exploit and causes for it to happen exactly, any isolation down to the causes???

....

A Crash doesn't always mean it's an exploit, though this could lead to one. BTW: I wonder how that is possible, I thought Sony completely blocked the tiff support?

From the Wiki Page on Tiff File format

The TIFF file format is unusual in comparison to other image formats, in that it is composed of small descriptor blocks containing offsets into the file which point to the actual pixel image data (composed of bands of pixel rows). This means that incorrect offset values can cause programs to attempt to read erroneous portions of the file or attempt to read past the physical end of file. Like most other image file formats, improperly encoded packet or line lengths within the file can cause poorly written rendering programs to overflow their internal buffers. Properly-written image rendering programs generally avoid such pitfalls. Multiple buffer overflows have been found in Libtiff.[4][5][6] Some of these have also been used to execute unsigned code on the PlayStation Portable,[7] as well as run third party applications on older versions of the iPhone and iPod Touch

Here it comes

I give it 48 hours and Sony will release FW 5.60

Naw.

It'd probably be 5.51. That's how they used to do it anyway. Also, I give em a week. The guys writing and editing code have to send and read a ton of memos first. What, you want to go to the bathroom? Hold on, I have to check with the boss man first. . . . Ghey.

gotcha!

"I thought Sony completely blocked the tiff support?"

Nope, they didn't.

awesome

I know wololo could do it :) he has been working on it for a while. now my poor poor friend that just updated to 5.50 can play sweet sweet homebrew :)

Don't worry

wololo knows the difference between a usable exploit and a useless crash. He even wrote a tutorial explaining the difference.

...

Who said there will be a HEN for the 5.50?

Nevermind.

Reading some of the posts at the Dark Alex forum it turns out that wololo did not release this... He said that it's probably just some noob thinking that a crash equals an exploit...

Glass is half full

I'd like to think there will in fact be homebrew for 5.50. We can only wait and see

Sony is

teasing all of us. That's what I think may be going on. or maybe they've left it there to allow just homebrew. Who knows?

nice

wallpaper

really not worth it!!!!!!

i dont know how many like homebrews, i tried playing a couple of emus on my psp, they all suck, the games, the graphics and everything are good in the psp games, as for so many other programs its all junk, a psp is really great if you'r playing the good games on it. All these exploits are a waste if there is no iso/cso loader and if one has to reininstall hen everytime the psp shuts down, i dont know what all the excitement is about, just upgraded to 5.03 ofw and i still dont use it for anything, even the psptube is not worth it. Sorry i know many are hooked onto homebrews , but its like an INSULT to a psp to play crappy games made for consoles with way less configurations.

UPDATE

Posted by wololo on his blog: I saw today a buzz on various websites about a youtube video showing a tiff file crashing OFW 5.50, apparently a file created by me. I am not directly related to this video. I haven’t looked at the file yet, but it is possible that this is an OLD file I created a while ago and which has proven to be unexploitable beyond firmware 4.20. See here and here (note how old these posts are) There is also a possibility that someone else found a crash and decided to use my name in the file for some reason, but I find this highly unlikely. So my official statement right now is the following: Not a fake, not an exploit, just a crash

...

i got one piece of homebrew for you - pspcomic. i use it way more than i play games on psp. it's not just games and emulators, you know. and if you judge games only by the way the look - i'm sorry for you, since you are missing out on so much.

oops

yeah that was phrased wrong, typed it on my psp :P ..i meant to say that he may be able to play some without pandora BUT the update says otherwiese. I was totally there on LAN when he was talking about it. I wonder if you changed the overwritten function [instead of in the paf] to something else if it would work.. i might want to try this out :P

..

if you think everything sucks then YOU spend years deving a good game for no pay. im greatful for the programs, they let me to awesome stuff on the GO

news tip (sending QJ the tip wasn't working)

Wow, what an extremely untrue and misleading article. QJ is becoming more and more of a disappointment lately. I appreciate the effort in providing us news, but you seriously need to get on your game. This article is embarrassing to read when knowing the actual facts behind it.

Sadly

true
