Sony is lazy and stupid, that's why



I'd worked on this a bit with him, but he's clearly taken it far beyond where it was before... nicely done, MaTiAz :) Glad to see you got things to actually run consistently.

Worked the first time on my phat, and the screen flashed the picture when i turned it back on O.O

Wow.

Very nice.

I wonder if there was word of this when they played that joke here.

Where are the ribbons?

Did it actually work on your 3k?

Is this an exploit to what? Install custom firmware?

Phat just broke, if this works on Brite.

Hello happy me. XD

Not PSPGEN

I wonder if he is hinting at psp 3000 hackability?

that would be soo bomb

my last psp's analog nub then screen went ka-pooy and ive been needing a new one

Really, I dont understand how one hacker hacker can be smarter then a major corporation with thousands of college graduate employees, but it's actually true!

It's easy to forget the credits line, and Matiaz clearly did 99% of the job. But don't believe that he was "alone" against a corporation. I know that at least 8 people where actively working on this, (not necessarily together, but you get my point). And you'd be wrong to think of these persons as high school script kiddies. The ones I've been in contact with have probably a stronger background in IT than most software engineers at Sony.

Pandora is still the best way to go compared to software downgrades that could brick your psp...

They're not mutually exclusive, y'know.



Someone could just as easily make a software exploit that converts a battery into a pandora battery.



Also... if this exploit work the way I think it does, does that mean that they can bypass that whole confusing thingy that Dark Alex explained when he was talking about why Pandoras don't work on Brites/Later Slims?

No one actually uses TIFF images as images. All they're good for are various forms of exploits and hacks. Even on a PC, TIFF's are often used to install malware without a user's consent. I don't know what it is about the file format that makes it so hard to code a secure implementation, but that fact is that it's easy to exploit.



So, if Sony was smart, they'd just remove TIFF support. Of course, that would probably make them look very bad to the end user ("What's this? An update that removes functionality?! Holy Executive Meddling, Batman!").

Matiaz, are you paying attention?

can i has cfw on my psp 3k nao? kthxbai.

5.03 TIFF Hello World is the my tiff (the laughing man) by me malloxis he changed my work and i am happy he did something with it but he didn't give me credit for the time i spent making the tiff and trying to get people to see what i was trying to do on your next review don't forget the maker me Malloxis thanks

I clearly named you in the article summing this up in my blog (wololo dot net), I guess that's the best I can do for you :/. You're definitely not the only one Matiaz forgot to mention, but remember we all fight for the same cause, so it doesn't matter that much ;)

There's more to this exploit than you think

tested on my 5.01 PSP-3000 doesnt work

might update it to 5.03 since you've already tested 5.02 and check

not working on my 3k

5.02 or 5.03

@KylBlz: It's VSH mode, since it's in the VSH



@Achooist: Well... not stupid. Lazy and sloppy, yeah.

You randomly edited a TIFF image and then sent off a ranting screed about how great and innovative you are.

Hello World for PSP firmware 5.03



The days of TIFF based exploits aren't long gone, at least not yet

Here's the third TIFF exploit for the PSP, enjoy.



Just copy the files to the memory stick root, disconnect USB and go to photo menu.

Don't dismiss the exploit even if it doesn't work on the first time, it's *very* unstable.

You might get it working on the first time, but you might as well have to try it 20 times!



The h.bin is loaded to 0x08800000, and the text address of paf.prx is passed in $a0 to the

binary code. You can then trick out function imports, like for example sceDisplayWaitV blankStart:



sceDisplayWaitV blankStart = (void*)(paf_add r+0x15F068);





Instructions:

1. Copy either slim.tiff or phat.tiff to /PSP/PHOTO/ folder on the memory stick, depending on

your PSP model. Do NOT copy both!

2. Copy h.bin to the root of the memory stick.



Thanks to malloxis, FreePlay, Archaemic, wololo, Cloudy, Davee and everyone else who was involved.



Have fun!



P.S. Just wait a few days, there's a bit of awesomeness coming up.



- MaTiAz







Updated with new version which works on Slims and Phats. No 3000 though. :/







that was copied from the forum i linked above. it also has version 2 of the exploit attached to the post and it isn't too hard to register to try it out. keep up the work on the exploit and it works great. i know when i tried version one on my 3000 it sometimes loaded the picture then it crashed and flashed the wlan light. did something similar on my 2000 and it crashes when i just hit photo on my 1000 like it said. good job

gripshift would of been linked to custom firmware installers and such when first discovered, i mean you gotto figure this would be first action to take. it must be a new IPL as well. to what i'm thinking it has to be

Rejoice for MaTiAz, i thought DA would of hacked the psp 3000 first but, unexpected

maybe even force votes on replies

did you like or dislike this comment.

why or why not.

instead of this system where people may have a great comment thats totally relevant.

and you get people downvoting him not because of their answer, but maybe they know him from around and just like downvoting him.



i think being only able to (and even forced) to vote on reply could get some really good discussions going amongst the real tech heads.

like lately ive enjoyed alot of PS34ME's comments, as he has a seemingly better knowledge on how the two systems perform, and he does it in an unbiased way.

i just think if your going to sit there and rate people's opinions down or up, you have to post a why you think that.
