Noobz Unleash Tetris on 2.0-2.80!!

Posted Sep 12, 2006 at 1:17PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Hacks & Exploits, Homebrew Development, Homebrew Games, News Tags: downgrader, eLoader, Exploit, Noobz, psp exploits, psp hacks, SDK

If this doesnÂ’t make you jump up in your chairs and run to Â“MommyÂ” asking her to buy you a 2.80 PSP, I donÂ’t know what will! Well, this news may not be enough for one to buy a new PSP, but it definitely is worth jumping out of your chair in pure excitement.

The Â“NoobzÂ” team has released the first homebrew game for 2.80 PSPÂ’s (as well as 2.70 and 2.71). This game will also work on all firmwares from 2.0-2.80 firmwares, although 2.80 gets the most benefit out of this game as it is the "trickest" firmware that we have exploited. This single piece of homebrew is the simple game of Tetris and is made possible by the recent libtiff vulnerability that has been exploited. With previous exploits, Tetris games have been used to demonstrate the exploit, and this one is no exception.

Â“NoobzÂ” has developed this game for users to enjoy, and it also demonstrates that the exploit is definetly "usable". The 2.80 is very capable of running homebrew (user-mode), but all it needs is a kick in the right direction. This homebrew game is exactly the kick we need. As for the other firmwares, 2.71 can already be downgraded with Dark_Alex's downgrader, so this is a huge milestone for 2.80 (can't be downgraded).

Even though there is no eLoader on 2.80 at this time, the team has taken the liberty to release instructions on how to make homebrew Â“2.80 compatibleÂ”. For those curious youngsters who want to know how this was made possible, just download the SDK package that does exactly that Â– shows you how it was made (coding experience is a good thing to have if you wish to understand it). Instructions on how to create compatible homebrew are also found in the SDK download

ok everyone i know some of you say it doesnt work so... first off make sure its in the PHOTO folder inside the PSP folder. you see if you have 2.8 theres two folders named PHOTO, one is right as you open your memory stick the outher folder (where Tetris belongs) is in the PSP folder then in the PHOTO. if you dont do this the game will just freeze up. lol make sure you unzip the folder after you download it too. after it is unziped open it till you get to the folder called Tetris (yes folder dont go all the way to the images themself) and copy the whole tetris folder to the memory stick in the folder i just described ....

hope this helps....

# Singster 2006-09-12 16:18

Just put the whole Tetris folder in photo, it worked for me.

# 854 — Guest 2006-09-12 16:19

THIS DOSE NOT WORK ON MY PSP PLEASE HELP

# hrmm — Guest 2006-09-12 16:21

make sure its the tetris folder

the one after psp-photo

not the zip file

but the folder named "tetris" that is within the zip file

# the seceret — Guest 2006-09-12 16:24

if you go into the ph oto folder press triangle on the TETRIS folder and select slideshow it will work 1st try

# Try this to make it work — Guest 2006-09-12 16:24

It did freezes on me twice. I took my UMD out and tried again, third time it starts working no need to change anything in the directory structure. This guy did a great job I wish I learn all this so I can help other in Homebrew :) Keep it up, I am waiting for the eloader, I can't wait to play emulated games i.e Nintendo, NeoGeo, Sega. This is the only stuff you can't buy anywhere.

# 2.8 not working — Guest 2006-09-12 16:24

I'm on a 2.8 and have tried it in both photo folders. I've redownloaded it twice. Everytime I open up the folder it flashes the magicgate light for about 15 seconds then stops and the machine just sits there till I remove the battery. How long does this take to load?

# Great work but still a bit left to go — Guest 2006-09-12 16:38

this is great now all we need is an eboot loader so i can use things like psp to sms and the pimpstreamer and some games and psp radio so just keep up the good work and make the psp for the people again

p.s. to u fat cats at sony even if you give me psone emulation im not updating cause ur going to make me pay for games that i own that are sitting in a box out in my shed and u thought u could stop homebrews but we are one step ahead of u so just give up and on the next fireware let use play homebrews dont discourage it incourage it

# A WAY TO MAKE IT WORK EASIER!!! — Guest 2006-09-12 16:40

JUST GO TO THE PHOTO / TETRIS FOLDER.....

wait for the images to preview... then start the Slideshow on the TETRIS folder... and it appears! I have tried it 10 times and it doesnt crash!

Try

# :( — HEDZX 2006-09-12 16:45

feck.... im pissed now ........ my damn 2.8 has a broken memory stick reader, and my dad wont let me open it ito see. best bu yas ro record of my purchase there and we cant find reciept. i wanna ty this so bad. its been so long since ive tried homebrew it would be nice to be able to try a tetris thats not a damn flash game "remake". *sigh*

# roflex — Guest 2006-09-12 16:54

this is great... i remember when developers said it was impossible to downgrade firmwares higher than 2.01...

take that!

# holy cow — Guest 2006-09-12 17:12

great work guys, keep up the great work

# Got it to work — Guest 2006-09-12 17:14

I would've posted sooner but i was busy working this out and after a while it worked, WOOT. i got firmware 2.80 got the regular (not sdk) and umm yeah woot playing tetris, waiting for eloader. Awesome job.

stay in ur picture folder for a while but dont open the tetris thing and then like after a min or 2 open it and it should work then after that, it can open like normal.

# Yes!!!!!!!!! — Guest 2006-09-12 17:33

Thnx Fanjita and Alex and the rest

Eboot loaders comin!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

Thnx so much!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

# WORKS — Guest 2006-09-12 17:36

al you have to do is download the folder, open the psp folder take the photo folder and stick it in the psp folder off of your memory stick. 2.8 downgrader is coming, in yo face sony

# Guest 2006-09-12 17:49

# shamin 2006-09-12 17:51

# Guest 2006-09-12 18:07

yea, it wouldn't work for me, so I clicked slideshow, and it worked beautifully.

Fantastic job guys. I can't wait for an eloader!

# Yeah!!!!!!!!! — Guest 2006-09-12 18:11

# Step by step - TETRIS for DUMMIES — daxyireh 2006-09-12 18:16

Ok, some of you still want step by step instructions so here we go - 10 detailed steps - TETRIS for DUMMIES:

Step 1. Download the files

Step 2. If your on a PC you'll have to unzip the files, on mac it should do it for you

Step 3. Turn on PSP and connect it to the computer via USB cable

Step 4. Open the Drive of your PlaystationPort able and procede to open it's file "PSP" then open the file "PHOTO"

Step 5. Open the downloaded (unzipped) file "PSP" then open it's "PHOTO" folder

Step 6. Drag and drop the file "TETRIS" into the Memory Stick file of "PHOTO"

Step 7. Disconnect the PlaystationPort able from the computer

Step 8. Back out of the USB connection and go to your pictures

Step 9. Click on TETRIS (wait for it to load the preview, may not work first time, if it doesn't just hold the power slider up until it shuts down and try again and again - not too relyable on all systems yet - no need to take out the battery)

Step 10. Once it's finally loaded press the triangle button and go up to "Slideshow" from here it should load the game, however it still sometimes works and sometimes doesn't

Well, that's the end of it, I hope that helped and GOOD LUCK!! =) Merry Homebrewing to all, and to all a good-night.

# Is not working — TiGuy 2006-09-12 20:21

It crash on my 2.80 PSP, all the time I try to access to the Tetris folder, is start reading from the memory sick but a little bit later it crash.

Any solution? ;)

# soon? — Guest 2006-09-12 20:49

hey how soon do you guys think the eloader will be finished? any estimated guesses would be nice. also, do you think th reason peopl are having trouble with tetris is bcause they have TA-082's maybe? i dont have one and i can open tetris without slideshow no problem

# w00t eloader soon — yongobongo 2006-09-12 20:58

Yay, i have never been happier!!!

# Guest 2006-09-13 00:58

# Guud stuff — Guest 2006-09-13 01:53

gr8 work !!!!!

# Guest 2006-09-13 02:05

It crash on my 2.71 TA-082 PSP too. I have access the Tetris folder in the PSP-PHOTO, but it hangs everytime i try to access the folder, it starts reading from the memory sick but a little bit later it crash (HANG).

HELP

# Guest 2006-09-13 02:08

Finally Make it work with my PSP 2.71 TA-082, you should put the files in the PSP/PHOTO/TETRIS, once you access the Tetris folder, you immediately press the down button and the game start.

ENJOY!!

# what!! — Guest 2006-09-13 02:40

it`s so cool

but

2.8 can`t be downgraded??

# Ultimate solution :) — Guest 2006-09-13 03:04

I couldn't get it to work on my 2.8, so I cut all

of the files from the ROOT\PSP\PHOTO folder, pasted

them in another location on my hard drive and left only the TETRIS folder and it's contents inside.

That way it works all the time.

I guess it has something to do with the memory limitation.

# psp loading — Guest 2006-09-13 03:21

JUST SLIDESHOW IT GUYS..WHEN YOU TRY TO VIEW THE FILE IS WILL ONLY FREEZ PSP.....SELECT THE FOLDER TETRIS IN YOUR PHOTO FOLDER PRES TRIANGLE AND THEN SLIEDSHOW..WORKS PERFECTLYYYYYYY YYYYYY...THX FOR FIRST HOMEBREW

# OH HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! — Guest 2006-09-13 03:29

WHEN I TRIED THIS *****ING TETRIS GAME ON MY PSP IT *****ING FREEZED AND THEN I TURNED OFF MY PSP. THEN OFCOURSE I WANTED MY PSP 2 START AGAIN, THEN IT HAPPENED! I COULDNT *****ING START IT AGAIN!. I TOOK IT 2 MY ROOM 2 START LOADING IT AND THEN I WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THEN GUESS WHAT! MY PSP STAAAAAAARTED!! !! OMFG, I ALMOST HAVED A HEARTATTACK :D:D:D:D:D

# It's working fine now :) — Guest 2006-09-13 03:46

i tried again and it works perfectly on my psp. GREAT JOB Noobz!! You rock!

# No access to flash — Kaemon 2006-09-13 04:08

This program doesnt have access to flash, so it couldent brick your PSP, its 100% safe, just pull out the battery next time.

It worked pretty well on my 2.8, I should dry it with my Devhooked 2.71, wonder if it works there as well.

# lololol — Guest 2006-09-13 04:21

all u noobs that updated to 2.80 going crazy over tetris....

still. i've gotta give credit to the devs, its another breakthrough i guess ..nice job

# 2 Versions without modchip — Guest 2006-09-13 04:45

Yo, everybody just listen up! I don't know if u have it too! I have an eloader n devhook v???(cant say it) and i'm using gta to get start it! So y'all wanna know what im talkin 'bout? Ok i can switch with those requirements that ive listed from 2.71 to 1.5 and turn back again. This works just like a modchip but a lil bit different. I can do this with all the other fw's too, example: from 1.50 to 2.50 but notice this requirements can only be used on the 1.50 fw.

# Guest 2006-09-13 05:15

all hail noobz

u rock noobz i new u cud do it

f*ckin yeah woooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo ooooooo

# the best things in life are free — Guest 2006-09-13 05:18

the descr. says it all right, naw not really. a big thanks to all of the crew for this and if there is anything i can do to help such as buy you guys a psp for dev let me know. quintmurre@yaho o.com

# WORKS — Guest 2006-09-13 05:34

It works!! First it worked normally(just opening the folder), then I tried 3 times without succes (just opening the folder)

Then I read that you had to to Triangle and then slideshow, AND IT WORKS!!

**WHY DID I UPGRADE TO 2.80!!**

# Overcoming some problems — Guest 2006-09-13 06:17

Hey peeps! heres a few problems that i overcame that you might wanna know about

1. Kept freezing evertime i transferred tetris and loaded it, then i figured out that if you use a memory card reader it doesnt work, so if thats what your doing use a USB cable

2. Also when you open the photo folder on your psp, wait for the thumbnails of the other pictures to load before trying to play tetris, and like the other guys said

And well done Noobz! This is brilliant, hope to receive news of more app's from you and hopefully a downgrader =) (if its possible 0.o)

# Guest 2006-09-13 06:25

Why dont you dumba$$'s read! It works on all 30 of my psp's with 2.0-7.0

# cool — Guest 2006-09-13 06:52

i hope its gona be a downgrader soon =)

# GETTING IT TO WORK — Guest 2006-09-13 07:01

To get this to work everytime just delete the Pong.jpg from the folder and it works everytime. . . . . god if some of you had brains you'd be dangerous

# Amazing. — Guest 2006-09-13 07:10

I like. Althought it din't run the normal way, I get it to work using the slideshow trick on my 2.70 TA-082. I say keep up the good work! Maybe tomorrow I'll try to code something with the SDK..?

# A revolution! — Guest 2006-09-13 07:47

Finally, now I can play tetris on my psp, what next though? Hopefully a proper e-loader so I can use SNES emulators, please, please, please Fanjita and Diltew (and others), get onto it!

# Nice Job! — Guest 2006-09-13 07:52

Works fine for me on my 2.80 version. No Problemo

# brick — Guest 2006-09-13 08:14

Far all you mother F***s that talk sh*t about the new hack. You don't know what it takes to do what they do. They are helping you out to pave the way for something better. All you want to do is ask for something better. If you want something better then get a 1.5. I'm happy with what they did.

# Guest 2006-09-14 16:43

make sure it is in the photo folder, not the picture folder, also paste the whole folder in.
