Hello world: PSP Go hacked, proof of concept video released

Yep, you read that right folks. Mere days after its launch and somebody's already hacked the PSP Go. Hold your horses, though! There are a few caveats.

The one responsible for this hack is FreePlay, who you may know for his work on the Sparta SDK and his recent run-ins with Team Mack. Before you go out an buy a Go thinking it's wide open to homebrew, here are a few disclaimers from the dev:

This was a known exploit that was abandoned because better prospects came along. I did not discover it; I just figured out how to make it work properly. Better hackers than I likely figured it out way before I did; they just never used it for anything I know of.
I won't be releasing this or divulging the name of the game involved. It's a proof-of-concept, and it may become more developed privately, but until there's a worthwhile reason to release it it'll stay private. I'd prefer that Sony not patch it before it becomes really useful.
It's user-mode only, meaning no flash modification, no piracy, no advanced custom themes, no plugins - none of that. I wouldn't expect anything else to come from it, unless I get some help.

There's no telling if this exploit will eventually be made public, but at least now we have definite proof that the Go isn't homebrew-proof after all. Kudos to FreePlay for a job well done (also, thanks for telling us about it)!

» you guys are just haters

cuase da isent making one, doest mean you have to ***** at the people who are trying to make one, really look at the ALL the fetures before saying its fake, minor issue on the xmb doesent nessasrly mean it fake, just means you spend a lot of time studing something instad of look at the bigger issue here .

you are obviously erique555

team mack posts a fake and you think its great

FreePlay posts something real and he's a dikhead.

we know who you are.

# LOL @ ENRIQUE — b|ank Crossfire 2009-10-03 11:09

Man how many names do you have?

Aces exposed you enough. Stare down and stfu noob.

# Wow Jackasses........ — Erique555 2009-10-03 11:21

You people are *****ing stupid! Maybe all you guys are FREEPLAY! Yeh you all are Freeplay, how many accounts do you have? Oh and im not Xavis retards

# Here we go again..... — Erique555 2009-10-03 11:23

Soon, retards will start posting comments towards m3rox, claiming hes me on a different account, jesus, you people never give up

# hmm — RaphaelDDL 2009-10-03 11:26

but TA-etc v3 or 3000 arent flashed.. Sooooo...

# lol — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 11:30

that was too obvious

its what you did last time to defend your other fake names

signed in as erique555 and to the defense you leapt.

give it up, you're fooling nobody

# difference is — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 11:32

m3rox has been a member here for a while

he's just a bit slow

# actually sorry to m3rox that was uncalled for — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 11:37

m3rox is being very sceptical.

which is unfounded.

i know he's not you.

seriously m3rox though, its freeplay

he has never released fake in the 4 years i been following homebrew.

he deserves our trust, so i know this is real.

# Lol. — Foolmonkey 2009-10-03 11:46

They all laughed at me when I said there would be a known exploit that would work on the Go! Now who looks stupid, a$$holes!

# not trying to — Erique555 2009-10-03 11:51

First off, this is my ONLY PSPQJ Username,

PIPHUS/PiccoloXD/ERIQUE555 are my only youtube account names, your not framing anyone Pain in the Asses

# well... — FreePlay 2009-10-03 11:56

I did release a fake installer for some old version of M33 or another, which was just an MP3 player with a loud death metal MP3 packed into it. But that one was *clearly* a joke.

# too funny — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 12:00

the way someone posts is very unique.

thats how we keep figuring you out.

same as if you look at tranceheads posts at maxconsole, you'll know its me.

style of communication is like a signature.

we got you pegged.

# Cool — Acteon 2009-10-03 12:04

It's Freeplay so I trust him, simple as. Very nice work.

I picked up a Go and it had 2 rows of dead pixels out of the box, so that has to go back tomorrow. Balls.

# lol — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 12:08

yeah i remember

got alot of annoyed people

but was clearly a joke

# Ok... — JohnnyMcKinney 2009-10-03 12:09

Didn't one of the first PSP Hacks only have user mode as well and then with it being further developed gained access to the flash?

# it was a 3.xx by memory (kinda hazy, that was when i was smoking herbz) — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 12:12

what i find funny, when i called out xavis as erique, he was too quick to jump into the defense

# no — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 12:16

first exploit was with 1.00 kxploit

full kernel mode

# that sucks man — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 12:19

hoped they'd have stricter quality assurance than that.

# Wow — Erique555 2009-10-03 12:19

I didnt know if someone types the way someone else types, that means they are that person, thats like saying if Freeplay types like me, im him, but im not him

# What a week — symbal 2009-10-03 12:20

First Yoshihiro's game decrypter now a POC for a Psp go exploit, i'm glad to see the Psp scene's still got some life in it, nice work Freeplay mate.

# hmm — xavis75211 2009-10-03 12:22

did freeplay tell you me and erique555 are the same guy or are you just as dumb as him?

# ... — SeRosiS 2009-10-03 12:22

What is cool about this exploit is that the game being exploited is on the PSN. Meaning if this exploit ever comes through to the user stage it would be easy to get your hands on.

Instead of course buying it for an extravagant price on ebay like some of community did. (GTA:LCS, Wipeout, Lumines, etc...) :-/

# Problem — symbal 2009-10-03 12:26

The problem is if you have to buy game from PSN Sony could just pull it from the store and have it fixed.

# hmmm — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 12:30

how long would it take to sign out and sign in under a different name then type that.

bout 3 to 4 minutes

you fail

# hell if i know — xavis75211 2009-10-03 12:34

i only have one account, just becuase me and erique555 both have the same thought doesent make us the same guy.

maybe all you guy how have the same thought that freeplay is "the man" maybe your the same guy too....ever think of that you ucking duche bags

# YEH! — Erique555 2009-10-03 12:37

This amuses me.......How some people without a brain accusses people who disagree with someone is the same person as the other, NOW THATS FUNNY

# well — xavis75211 2009-10-03 12:40

thats what happens when someone "big" (really if you ask me id say tiny) starts saying stuff on youtube and everyone belives it

# ...wow... — Charza 2009-10-03 12:40

FreePlay, You've once again earned my respect. I may be behind on your previous exploits, but debunking the 6.00 ruse and now this really speaks for you (has anyone else noted that we haven't seen any other videos from them? p0wnd!)

Anyway, I'm still holding onto my 1000 for now, as I hate SCEA for not allowing us to import our old games. Give us reason that we could transfer .cso's onto the 16GB Memory and I may be convinced to shell out or one and keep my old one as a UMD Drive for cheap UMD alternatives.

Peace!

~Charza~

# Yep — Erique555 2009-10-03 12:41

If Freeplay says that he is Dark Alex, everyone will believe him

# I demand commentary from our lord and master — SonicTH 2009-10-03 12:46

He should shed some light on the possibility here.

(And by "he", you know who I'm talking about)

# lol — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 12:47

yet when people small (team mack) start saying something, you beleive it straight away.

your an idiot.

# Saves = Homebrew? — AnalogMan 2009-10-03 12:47

If he was able to run a Hello World program from a save, which exploits a game, could we not start distrubuting user level hombrew contained in these hacked saves? Boot game, load save, enjoy homebrew? Different save for different homebrew?

# So what your saying is... — Erique555 2009-10-03 12:49

If people believe everything that comes out, there idiot, so you believe freeplay, when it could have been a video of the psp hello world exploit, but he also recorded exiting out of the game menu, then just recorded psp go menu

# i never said i beleved them — xavis75211 2009-10-03 12:50

i just said give them a chance, witch no one seems to do any more, cause you dont like anything new, always has to be the same ***** with you

# as akadewboy said on maxconsole — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 12:52

dont get excited

this may never see a public release

why?

you need a game

that has to be downed from PSN (remember you need latest firmware to do this)

the game will have to be known.

this game is not UMD since its for Go.

sony will pull the game from download and patch it.

you need to be hoping for another tiff exploit.

game exploits on the Go just are not reliable because they can be patched to easy.

there will not be unpatched copies on shelves you can buy.

# oh my god — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 12:54

it couldnt be more transparent.

you reply in unison for phuck sake.

give it up

# Oh shut up — Erique555 2009-10-03 12:57

If the person who made the exploit, he/she will know how to use it and turn it into a cfw, and even if Sony pulls the game, he/she will convert the exploit to work on another save, then we will have cfw on the go

# QUADQRUPLE FACEPALM — xavis75211 2009-10-03 12:58

"it couldnt be more transparent.

you reply in unison for phuck sake.

give it up"

yes they where posted at the same time, cant do that on the same computer can you? that right there is proof we are not the same guy

you are a major dumbass

# stfu Asses in the Palm — Erique555 2009-10-03 12:59

You never know when to just stfu and stop believing every ***** that pops in your head, Ok, ill admit, Im you, im just trying to make it seem like i hate myself, HAPPY EVERYONE Im Aces in the Palm. Im just hating myself on my other Account, now im going to log on it and deny it

# i have two PC's — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 13:02

i can post at same time too

IF I HAD MULTIPLE QJ NAMES

GIVE IT UP

JEEZ

# FAIL — xavis75211 2009-10-03 13:05

1 millon facepals could not even begin to explaine how much of a fail that is.

# Yep, i got 2 PCs — Erique555 2009-10-03 13:05

im aces in the pain, but now im gonna go say something else on the account, but i gonna wait a few minutes

# ... — FreePlay 2009-10-03 13:05

Two things:

1. Yes, a non-game-based exploit would be better.

2. You actually can convert from one game's exploit to another, sort of. The code for this Hello World and the code for the GripShift Hello World are essentially the same. Once you've got your foot in the door, and you can load a binary file, it won't typically take a lot of tweaking to get the binary working with a new game.

In fact, I think all I had to do was edit two or three lines of text...

# just goes to show how much you know — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 13:07

its not as easy as that.

not all games are exploitable the same way.

probably the type of person who hex edits a save, gets a crash and thinks its an exploit.

the crash has to create a buffer error that allow arbituary code to run.

not all games do this.

and ones that do need to be exploited in different ways.

you truly know nothing bout this stuff do you

# Easier than that — FreePlay 2009-10-03 13:09

My examples so far have all run off of a binary loader which is built into the savedata, similar tp the one used for GripShift. You can just swap binary files in and out of the memory stick.

# Do you know things about cfw? — Erique555 2009-10-03 13:10

Or do you just take info off the web and act like you know this. Yes i know i never made an actual cfw

# lol — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 13:17

CFW can only run from NAND if pre-IPL lets it

dont you think CFW would be running on 3000 if this wasnt the case.

seriously

# :) — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 13:22

im erique555

i have 3 different youtube accounts as i have admitted yet expect you to beleive i only have one QJ account

# CFW is on 3000..... — Erique555 2009-10-03 13:23

its called chickhen

# Yep — Erique555 2009-10-03 13:25

I only have 2 QJ account ( Erique555, Aces in the Palm), and 3 youtube accounts(Erique 555,Piccoloxd,P iphus)

# i beleive i said — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 13:27

FROM NAND

chickhen and Go exploit cant be compared.

chickhen runs from memstick

when was the last time (or the first) you saw 5.50GEN running on a 3000

and why do you think that is

# intresting — xavis75211 2009-10-03 13:32

this will be fun to keep an eye on now

# ... — AnalogMan 2009-10-03 13:35

So what you're saying is the altered save is a loader that can be used to launch other homebrews? Correct me if I'm misunderstandin g.

Also, I did an experiment with PSN content. I bought a game and loaded it on two PSPs. I then copied the game folder from one PSP to another, but left the license files. The game ran, which tells me the game isn't PSP specific. I haven't been able to try it with a game purchased on another account. But is it possible, that if someone were to upload the unpatched game, then Sony patched it, one could buy the patched one for the license file, but replace the game folder with a downloaded unpatched one?

Let me down easy if I'm being idiotic, I don't have much experience downloading PSN content or anything.

# OMG!!!! — Atownaction 2009-10-03 13:39

Everyone is arguing if the video is a fake and damn I still dont understand why would someone pay 250 plus tax on something that you already own and pay for games that you already have on UMD anyway everyone that has a go is a Freaking Dumb ASS!!!!! Why waste your time on something like this with no extra power or memory that has the same power as the PSP 2000 model......geez get a life people!!!!!

# honestly — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 13:39

xavis if i'm wrong, i apologise.

i dont think i am though.

the fact both of you love team mack but hate FreePlay is too coincedental

you could never be me jackass.

you spend too much time being fake.

mr LDX

# I am you — Erique555 2009-10-03 13:50

Im you, but im just saying im not me and you, im playing a sick twisted game in my mind, thinking your a different person, btw TEAM LDX is a group of PSP hackers who speak Turkish, they are real

# lol — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 13:54

@xavis - if you indeed are not erique555, just because FreePlay comes off as abraisive at times, it dont mean he doesnt know what hes talking about. in fact that why he burnt the fake team so much.

@erique - thats why your truth about freeplay vid had bought to you by team LDX

idiot

# WTF — xavis75211 2009-10-03 13:55

i dident say he dident know what he was talking about, i said he dident have to be an ***** about it. what planet are you on

# Yep, i made it like a news special — Erique555 2009-10-03 13:56

Most tv shows have the brought to you by something, then a commercial comes after it about what was brought to you, so i advertised team ldx. FAIL!

# ok lets repeat — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 14:05

freeplay finds a hack thats real and you say

....

here we go agian, lot more ass kissing then last time

OK

now team mack

you guys are just haters

cuase da isent making one, doest mean you have to ***** at the people who are trying to make one, really look at the ALL the fetures before saying its fake, minor issue on the xmb doesent nessasrly mean it fake, just means you spend a lot of time studing something instad of look at the bigger issue here .

you honestly cant see?

you get fakes and you want to wait to see

however when its freeplay and its a real thing, you act like people are praising him for nothing.

cmon

# WOw — soopergooman 2009-10-03 14:06

Im amazed at everybody complaining about some schmuck and his friends posting here, if you really wanted to see if it were one person posting under multiple names just look at the page source or get qj to ban the ip addy. then you will know.

Wow at the fact I knew the GO would be hacked in the first week and was telling people it for months. You can't stop progression and you can't stop Homebrew which is the precursor to progression.

Kudos Freeplay, Kudos indeed.

# let me say this in a language you can understand — Erique555 2009-10-03 14:08

I like am not dude, in anyway Right oN! the dude who is liked ummmmm called Xaviazzzz dude

I said that in the retarded language, or your primary language, hope you understood that

# hmmm — soopergooman 2009-10-03 14:10

no extra memory you say? geez I think 16 gigs internal is a HUGE LEAP past current psp's. umm Bluetooth testhering for internet anywhere with a cell phone. um ability to use a sixaxis or Dual Shock 3 with it and syncing up ur ps3 keypad, socom headset or Bt headphones. Yeah nothing new there dummy, nothing new at all from what I see.

# that made no since — xavis75211 2009-10-03 14:10

you just put 2 unrelated crap together and make a conclusion? WHAT KIND OF ***** IS THAT?

# and you've said it before — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 14:13

but we both know you lie like a rug.

your word means nothing.

# hmmmmm — sa2b2001 2009-10-03 14:14

its obvious that erique and xavis r the same person.

@Aces- u dont need 2 pc's to comment at the same time, all u need is firefox and internet explorer and u can login in the same page with 2 different accounts.

# same goes for you — xavis75211 2009-10-03 14:14

your word means nothing too

# lets do the problem — Erique555 2009-10-03 14:19

Ok you have 2 QJ accounts,

1 is john2, the other is mary5,

ok, so you also have firefox and internet,

so you have John on Fire, and Mary on internet, how can 1 human both type on mary and john, and have them enter at the same time, impossible, IM NOT XAVIAS, YOU STUPID PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE ACES/ME, because i AM ACES MUWHAHAAHAHA

# @erique — xavis75211 2009-10-03 14:23

good move, but id say we should just let them be, they dont seem to understand/think for them selfs, we should give up and let the hoe of freeplay do his job

# lolz — sa2b2001 2009-10-03 14:27

erique/xavis i got the damm solution for ur problem. look i did that before and u can actually comment at the same time. first u write the comment on fire, then u write it on internet ex, then press submit reply on fire and tghen int ex. a couple of seconds ahead of the other one wont show up on here so it is possoble. dude give it up.

# lol — Aces In The Palm 2009-10-03 14:30

good call sa2b2001

and that comment wasnt directed at xavis

it was directed at erique555

but i guess if you are the same entity, it dont matter

# Who is with me? — nate443556 2009-10-03 14:55

I think Erique555 (and all aliases included) and Vlad_the_Wrecke r should both be banned. Neither one contributes anything of any value to the forums and both continue to annoy the whole of QJ by forcing the readers to sift through their needless squabbling to get to real material.

# Maybe you need to be banned — Erique555 2009-10-03 14:57

What do you contribute? *****/Nothing. You should be banned. And who the hell are you? Do you even have cfw on psp?

I dont think sony would be that "careless"... i'm pretty sure sony has some sort of verifier in the license file that checks the game for the correct ID (not game id)

would be nice if that worked

The system has to be activated, via the XMB option or by a PS3. To be activated, you have to connect to the PSN. There's a limit on how many systems can be activated for games per account. The license and game files can be shared between as many systems as you like, but unless the systems are activated, the licenses won't work.

# re: — truk 2009-10-03 17:01

well, i'm not a hacker or anything of the sort, but does it matter if the pspgo is hacked? from my perspective, once they crack the baby open, then i guess won't matter if a said game is them patched cause the game would then have been ripped for illegal download. correct me if i'm wrong

# dl — cmbeke 2009-10-03 17:09

you cant ripp a game, it has a licsens on your psp, sony would just update the game so it wouldnt work and anyone who had the game before this would be fine but if you bought it later you would be screwed

Whether you had anything to do with it or not, thank you for confirming that there is hope for the handheld. User-mode homebrew would be a welcomed addition to my PSP Go, its better than nothing at all.

Don't listen to any of these haters on here, I couldn't create a program for my psp if I was staking something valuable for it. I respect any and all developers/programmers who design for the psp no matter the function or purpose.

# License — AnalogMan 2009-10-03 20:30

Yes, I understand the license and 5 PSP limit. I meant, can you buy a game so you have the license, then have that same game, from a DIFFERENT source, work with your license? Thus, buying a patched game, then replacing it with the older, unpatched, same game?

Then if Sony does patch it, people can still buy it regardless than just replace the patched one with the unpatched on their memsticks?

Or is the game encrypted in some manner to the PSN account and not just the license?

# @AnalogMan — Untopped555 2009-10-03 21:57

Think of it this way if you write some software (that ppl have to buy) and you end up updating it with a patch, would you want a way for your software to be free against your will?

like Aces said there is some sort of MD5 check between the game file and the license file that would prevent the license swapping idea

# this is sorta silly... — Xeinix 2009-10-03 22:00

why do people even do this. whats the point of acting like an annoying little kid on the internet... there really aren't that many productive comments.

So, I would like to thank Freeplay. This is awesome and if the exploit ever comes out I'm going to actually seriously consider getting a GO.

# You're telling me :) — Acteon 2009-10-03 22:10

I'd suggest that everyone checks the unit before leaving the store - I usually do but the store was closing, so I rushed it. My own fault really, but for the money I'm deeply unimpressed by the QC.

Lovely little unit though.

# Thanks Freeplay — ADblakejelani 2009-10-03 22:17

Thank you for sharing your exploit with the hombrew community and I hope that we will see further exploits from you.

# @Untopped555 — AnalogMan 2009-10-03 23:15

Alright, so there is a check on the game data. I wasn't intending getting it for free at any point. You'd still have to BUY the updated one so you'd get a legit license file, I was only wondering if it's possible to use that license with an older version of the same game. Like if it was only attached to some game ID or something. but you said there IS a check on the games actual data so I guess that's a no go.

I was hoping to find a way to dispel fear of Sony patching exploitable games by still buying it and then just using the unpatched game data. Guess a game based exploit just won't be good enough on a PSP go with instant patching.

# Erique555 is right. — FreePlay 2009-10-04 07:07

There is a program that lets you unpack PSN games as long as you have a license for them. All you'd need to do is activate the PSN account on a hacked PSP, copy the game over, and run the program.

# Is it really? — spylogo 2009-10-04 13:07

I remember the good old days of switching memory cards, developing, having to change the kernals of games and then custom themes. Then came scandals craziness, and Dark Alex becoming a god to all pirates. Now everyone just bows down to whoever, and starts flaming eachother. Personally, I am looking foward to the Pandora, where development is where it is at. I still love my psp, but a developer just can't live in this craziness where you only get respect if you develop what other people want.

# seriously.. — spylogo 2009-10-04 13:12

Do you have to start this argument just because you are going to win? Of course this is probably legit, and of course he deserves respect, but the community is going to crap with people, including you, who just want to get in on being the winner. Screw piracy, screw noobs who can't get what they want, what happened to the days when people looked towards homebrew? homebrew has died because no one has any initiative to develop. Sure it will probably get hacked, but what then? WHAT THEN? a short burst of development, and then another patch, and looped all over again. My two cents... just don't screw this up Freeplay, be the man, not the respected martyr .

# agreed — spylogo 2009-10-04 13:14

Let's just hope this goes smoothly without everyone's greed coming into play.

# haha — spylogo 2009-10-04 13:25

Well, I will give you my opinion then. First off... this exploit doesn't allow pirated games directly anyways, and the pspgo doesn't have an existing driver to play Umds/isos . Most of the homebrew community has moved on, sadly. If all goes well, we might have lots of fun stuff developed, but most developers are people who just develop on the cheap devices they have. If I were them, I would check out the new Pandora, which runs on linux and a powerful arm processor. The go isn't that much of a revelation, but look at all the people who viewed this article. Hack + iso, to them, and I hope that freeplay will handle this well and allow the homebrew community to be given fresh air, and not feed the pirates in their little holes in the ground while on their computers typing little comments to erupt flame wars.

@Freeplay

You say you have the contents of flash0? On another site you said you could also read and write the flash1, yes? Have you done a dump of both after pausing a game and seeing if the paused game data is stored in either one? Also I saw you dumped the version.txt file, can you write that back or not? If you could I would love to fake my version to 6.1 so I don't have to update my 5.7 PSP go to use the PSN.

# ... — FreePlay 2009-10-05 00:21

The saved game data is stored on a totally separate flash drive. The internal storage is referred to in-game as ef0:/ and there's likely a hidden partition just for pause data. I'll have to check.

The version.txt file is posted in full on QJ's page about the 6.10 update :)

# Torn — Acteon 2009-10-05 01:54

Gotta say I'm torn on the whole ISO issue, especially with the Go. I'd like to play some of my existing games (which will be up to 43 when Macross Ultimate Frontier arrives) on the machine, which I feel entitled to do since I actually laid out the cash. But I don't want to see the device hit by piracy again because we're starting to get better games.

The problem with the Go at the moment is that even if I wanted to pay for my games again, I couldn't because half of them aren't on PSN, US or UK - Pangya, Dissidia etc are still not on there. I'd also like to play my import games.

That said, I kept my older PSP for that very reason, and I can play my ISO's on that for now. I'd just like to be able to sell a couple of my spare units and keep just the 2000 and the Go, otherwise the Go unit is just a very shiny gadget with Motorstorm and GT to keep me company.

The main reason I picked it up was so I could take advantage of the US store and lower my game import costs (I need something capable of going on the store because my CFW PSP can't).

If only Sony had made good on a UMD legacy program...

So whatever Freeplay decides to do, I'm grateful to him (and others like Team GEN and DaX) for taking some time out to play with the device and keep us updated - torn as I am, I'm fascinated by all this hacking which usually results in a better device - God knows I couldn't do it!

freeplay used to ring a bell in my mind during the liberty city stories hack era but im just not interested anymore due to the recent fight with which makes him as childish as the ones he verbally fought with.

kudos to freeplay for bringing this exploit up, it will sure bring those slackers back to being hackers, and those pirates hopeful.

and the reason why sony is making you download their games is because you fags all hacked and posted them all over the f^cking internet you morons.
so quit complaining and save your money for real games like MW2 noobz

XBOX 360 rulez over this b1tch ass system
