The Grand Return of Fanjita: PSP-3000 now fully hacked via the Phantasy Star Portable Exploit |
Ó
And don't we all love a nice, pleasant surprise? Things can only go up from here for our fave handheld.
Homebrew working on all PSP firmware (even 5.02) with a Phantasy Star Portable GameSave Exploit!Justwhat does this do, need you ask? Well, it only lets you, PSP owner, on ANY firmware the ability to play homebrew applications, games and emulators till our hearts content or till we explode from nostalgia. So without further ado check out the simple steps for running Fanjita's oober-cool hack at Brite.
Guide for running the developed Phantasy Star Portable Exploit:
- Check that you have an Japan or US version of Phantasy Star Portable (Japan:
ULJM-05309, US: ULUS-10410). Work on the European version will be following soon.
- Extract the contents of the 'MS_ROOT' folder from the ZIP file into the top-level of your memory stick. (HINT: If you wind up with an 'MS_ROOT' folder on the stick, you've done it wrong).
- Start the game, and as soon as it gets to the 'Press START' screen, press START. If you wait until the demo has started, the exploit may not work.
- The screen should go blank, and the exploit will start after a few moments. It doesn't do anything except look pretty at this stage - but feel free to enjoy the first homebrew on your PSP Brite.

Just had to get something in before April Fool's day ended, right Mabie A?
Over here it's already 7:15 AM of April 2nd
Here comes the piracy.
BS, nothing but BS
awww please be true, if it is BS then this has really put a damper on my day
...seriously....
there has never been a big release on april fools day. they pull this $h!t every year. dont be a sucker.
And now that I downloaded, I suck. That is all.
Not even funny *****s
tsk tsk... waste of time.... is just as they say curiosity kills the cat...
I was about to order a Psp-3000 when i realized that this was a joke o_O
yea its only midday in australia....
2.70FW and now this. Today just became a real holiday. Here's hoping this is real.
Is real. Load up your PS3 and see for yourself. I don't know about this one. Sony must really be bad at giving jokes because it's here. I don't know about this one though.
Was kind of hoping for a big release since its M33 and all... o well.
As The Day the PSP 3000 Was Hacked...Right after April Fools..
Rejoice.
Not funny...
Damn MFs you got me......
was a good April's fools joke though
Shouldn't this prank have been posted MANY hours ago?
It's not only way too late, but it's very dangerous. Unless you refund all PSP-3000s costs to people who bought them after reading this news, that is.
Wow if you google this right now, you'll find soo many web pages linking back to here. I think this will take a few days to die down...
If you saw this news and bought a PSP3000 because of it, then my assumption is you'd do nothing more than use it to pirate, or else you wouldn't have bought it right after you thought it was able to be hacked. You would have acutally bought it to play games.
In that case. Either you have a system that you may as well let sit there because you're a pirate and don't pay for games that you play, or you can actually start purchasing games. I have a PSP2000, but I also have about 40+ games so I could live with a non downgraded PSP. However, downgrading my PSP Slim with the help of my phat so I could use emulation and apps as well.
How could anybody believe this without a source.. Why would QJ have the information before Noobz?
I don't disagree with the fact that people may have gone out and bought a 3000 because of this but i don't think that makes everyone that does a pirate. Unfortunatly for some it is, but others may just want to use homebrew apps.
Besides, it's quite funny. For someone whos having a go at pirates to be fine with using emulators. Did you pay for those roms or did you download them, Hmmm? remember, downloading a rom also makes you i pirate i afraid.
just out of curiosity.I don't even have a 3000 yet and sure enough it's a prank.
The Grand Return of Fanjita
Congratulations ! You've unlocked our special QJ Greeting for April Fool's Day! ^_^
If you look close enough, the instructions presented is just the famed Lumines Exploit, tweaked a bit to make it the fully-developed Phantasy Star Portable Exploit.
We know, you're disappointed. But don't worry, we'll make it up to you. When the real thing does land, we'll deliver it to you straight off the hot, sizzling platter, wrapped in gold ribbons and all that jazz.
Okay, maybe the gold ribbons are too much. But, if and when the PSP-3000 finally becomes fully hacked, we'll be the first to let you know.
Thanks for being a sport, and Happy April Fool's (or what's left of it).
That's what it says people.
Aha hahahaha now that was good almost good as DA april fools prank bout the brick CFW
Yeah it was midday... April 2nd in Australia
Except it was posted on April 2 for some people. Nothing to "fall for" except being lied to, since it's not April Fool's Day for them anymore.
sorry to all 3000 owners and i know i will cop it for saying this but...i dont want homebrew on the 3000 because piracy made psp games bad. And i know homebrew is not = to piracy but thats in an ideal world. i use pmplayer and a few other homebrew but PAY for my games in the hope dev's wont completely give up on the psp.
It was April 2nd for most of the world.
As for "deserving it", the console as it is sold by Sony is useless. I don't really care if you believe it or not, but I only use my PSP to play mp3s and play Contra (of which I have original copy btw) on emulator. Oh, and I occasionally play OpenTTD.
So, should I fall for this stupid hoax, just to be able to play without having to shield the screen from sun I'd be sorely disappointed.
Shut your mouth.....would shut your mouth.....just shut your mouth. You are just sounding stupid right now.
Hellllllllllo Misssssss lady.
I'd love to see that stats for Phantasy star bids on Ebay the last few hours! I can just imagine people clambering to their computer to make a bid, then running to the nearest used game store before they realised. I know it's not funny but hey.
once again , OJ is chipping away at its own credibility. how the "mighty" have fallen.....
....sad.
Remember how successful the ps2 was? It was easy to pirate, along with the ps1.
The wii and 360 is easy to pirate games with, guess what! They're in the lead!
The NDS is waaaaaay easier to pirate then the psp due to the fact that it lacks any firmware updates. All you need to do is buy two simple things to just download games, and guess where the ds is? Not dieing.
It's not piracy making games bad, it's the lack of developers making good games.
You think little kids (i.e. 90% of the DS user base) even know about flash carts?
If the "better games" argument were true, not a single person would have pirated Crisis Core or Dissidia. And if price were the issue, Patapon wouldn't have been pirated either.
piracy had nothing to do with developers making bad games
used games has a bigger market than pirate games
and its perfectly legal
i reckon good on QJ.
to Mabie A, thanks that was funny as.
where whitecloud is right is when he says people who are waiting till its hacked, obviously has little intention on paying for games
good one................. ;(
ha ha!
not cool guys. pretty stupid.
People come to this site for factual information... now everyone is pissed cause they were lied to. Good job!
not necessarily, PSP2000 owners like myself and PSP1000 owners are waiting until its hacked... not because we don't plan on paying for games, but because we already own PSPs to play games on.
your really stupid if u believe something without question when it's posted on april fools day.
It wasn't posted on April Fool's.
The majority recieved the news on April 2nd.
You Fail
If the 90% little kid user base argument were true, then why is nintendo taking note of the flash cards and still coming out (within most of the shovelware it has) with some great games? They attempted to block flash carts with the DSI along with the local wii updates to knock out the homebrew channel.
It's amazing how you think if a game is great then no one would pirate it. Those are great psp games and people still bought them, there will still be pirates no matter if the game is good or crappy.
Why didn't you take note of the other systems that have piracy issues? Heck, the ps3 sadly isn't doing to well and so far it's piracy proof. The most you could do is back up Blu-ray games and play ripped blu-ray movies in the Linux OS.
What I'm trying to prove is that piracy does not make a system have bad games. Is that really too hard to understand?
To be honest, the psp and NDS have their share of great games.
Useless? Nice opinion you have there! Same could be said with the ds and it's shovel ware.
Just because you're not enjoying the psp does not make the damned thing useless.
Piracy hasn't killed the PSP. Piracy has never killed any system. I've seen a dozen game systems come and go, and the most successful ones are ALWAYS the most pirated.
The NDS is just a all around better product, and most importantly: it's fun. And fun sells itself. The games might be mostly stupid, but "fun 'n stupid" is way better than "boring but looks-cool".
The PSP is dying (in ENGLISH SPEAKING countries mind you!) because of lack of consumer interest and interesting games. The PSP was in serious trouble from it's launch. It's a very nice handheld, but it wasn't anything special. And most of the cool features it has were poorly implemented. The PSP is Sony's 1st portable system, and it really looks it.
Nintendo is a deity. The DS gets a dozen games a month, along with all that Nickelodeon/Disney sh*t . I know at least 17 different people with children in their lives(5-12 yrs). ALL of them have the DS. Of those children, about 10 of them use flashcards. You know, you don't have to be an hardcore anime-download'n computer geek to enjoy a little PIRACY. If you're older than 10yrs, then you will stumble apon DS piracy within 30min of casual internet usage(if searching DS releated stuff). Much younger children get their flashcards from: parents, uncles/aunts, family friends. I've seen tons of flashcards in the hands of little kids.
I go to Japan almost every year and lots of small shops are willing to sell you a flashcard chuck full of games! (well, not so much anymore..Nintendo pretty much stamped it out over there). There's no denying it. DS Piracy is everywhere, and aleast 50% of its users are aware of it and have taken advantage of it.
Just face it, kids, the PSP is failing and it has nothing to do with piracy. And if you're so hell-bent on driving that particular conspiracy home, then it has to be coming from your own guilty conscious. Stop bragging about how many PSP games you bought. I'd bet my left nut for every one you bought legit, you PIRATED 5 other ones. Everyone on the interent is either a liar, or a BIG FAT liar! You have no right to cast stones if you yourself have sinned...even a little bit. I bought 2 Slims just to play CPS1/2 and use PSPtube. I don't like PSP games, but I enjoy do killing time in long lines with my NDS w/ flashcard. In my opinion, PSP games aren't even worth pirating.
A new God of War and GTA wouldn't bring the PSP back to life. A DOZEN fancy new PSP games won't bring it back. PSP is old tech, and there's better fancier gadgets out there now vying for consumer dollars.
The PSP needs to be reborn. Sony needs to earn its respect in the handheld market. Nintendo will always dominate solely for the fact that..well...they're Nintendo. Piracy or not.
Nice one QJ.
Great Prank
eh.. I'm not even mad... c'mon guys.. it was funny.
april first was my birthday, seriously.
i just bought a brite and then downloaded the folder, just then i find a readme with a april fools joke. i can't return my psp because i got so mad the screen crack. this is no joke it's april 2nd here.
Well I wanna thank to this person for finding the expoilt on PSP-3000.
Btw, this exploit should work on PSP Slim TA-088v3 right?
Also,to me, I find it very troublesome. Because you need this UMD game to run it. I hope they find some other way like PANDORA or something.
Maybe the other method of PANDORA?
Anyone with have a brain can realize it's impossible to post something on the internet on the same day for EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD. Anyone with common sense is skeptical of any news they receive online when it is april fools day somewhere. You've obviously got neither.
I agree with you on how Piracy isn't killing systems. But in no way is the psp failing dude, maybe in your eyes...but from the looks of it, it's in 2nd place but far from dead.
There's a huge difference between hating a system that you see it as it dying and it being dead (getting no sales at all.)
The psp is doing good and so is the DS, is that really too hard to actually think?
your post makes no sense
if you'de use the psp2000 for playing games and homebrew, why the phuck would you need a hacked psp3000
wow its got a microphone and an enhanced screen with display issues
considering GTA liberty city stories allowed open source saves back when homebrew was considered a fantasy to most now a world wide epidemic an epidemic im glad to have and thanx to people like DAX We could have programs like Devhook run any firmware but with the launch of 5.00 M33-6 so its only a matter of time til DAX pulls another fast one on everyone So Anti-piracy people can go ***** themselves and let people like the programmers have fun and try to see what really is possible! =P
should of opened the file BEFORE you got the PSP then
then you wait for posts, to check out its legitimacy, then you buy the system
OMG my psp 3000 will FINALLY be the best ever ever awesomeness :'D cant.. convay awestruck with WORDS!!
that sucked, you got my hopes up you bastards D:
..lol good idea tho
still not funny tho
it's a lie -.-
LOL maybe should have checked a few comments first
WOW I WANT TO KILL WHO EVER MADE THIS!!! I JUST WENT TO BUY THE GAME THANKS A LOT YOU *****ING STUPID *****S..... You could have just said that it was a joke at the bottom of the post....
It is my souls purpose to spam QJ.net. This is by far the worst joke anyone has ever played on me I am *****ING PISSED I just went and spent 50$ on the stupid ass game..... why couldnt you atleast said it was on crisis core or something then I would have been like what ever I own a copy now but Pstar sucks mega *****.
Honestly I am going to try soo *****ing hard from my computer and all my friends comps to spam and trojan qj.nets proxys. THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST ***** HEAD MOVE ANYONE HAS EVER PLAYED ME FOR.
QJ.NET you have just earned your self a vital enemy.... you snake *****s......
your telling me i just went to buy the game and got in a huge argument with my mom to drive there..... fuc kin *****s...... I hate qj.net with a passion now. I will find some way to repay these stupid admins this is not even a joke it is a disgrace....
Mabie A can burn in hell i hate that guy now just made me waste 50 bucks.... I thought this site had heart turns out it has complete idiots especially like myself ..... THANKS Mabie A put here there man you just made me waste 50$ for the *****test game ever for the psp...
Hope your happy with yourself i am sure you will get a good laugh reading my posts, I live at home have no dad and my mother works hard to provide for us i went out bought the game and i find out that you just decided to be a smart ass...
guess I am stupid because I just bought the game and I am broke now.. thanks to Mabie A. I would honestly fight that son of a ***** If I knew where he lived... I hate his guts eternally now.....
I went out bought the game where I am now.... with empty pockets, I took this serious I assumed it was not a joke I thought It was possible that the hack actually came out because there was no info posted at the bottom of his post that it was a joke. I got home opened the file to find out that it was a joke....
Mabie A if you are reading this I advise you to edit your post... unless you want more mortal enemys because you just made one.
yep it is and I feel for the joke on april 2nd.... *****ing *****. I am seriously thinking of becoming a satanist and learning black magik just to do what ever I can to make Mabie A's life wrong.... I am not even joking I hate this guy with a passion now *****ing ***** made me run my pockets broke I hate his guts....
Mabie A can burn in hell i hate that guy soooo much. I am trying so hard to find a way to curse him eternally... I am so pissed..
If I had the money I would honestly rent a car gas it up and drive to his house to just to fight him.... He had to say phantasy star why couldnt he use another game I went out to buy it......
Mabie A die in hell
Hey dude if it makes you feel any better i went to buy the game. it was april 2nd.
Mabie A i hate for ever now. Unless hes willing to mail me 50$ but i doubt that he can burn in hell it is april 2nd... *****ing ***** head.
thanks alot Mabie A april 2nd WTF you clown ass u do not have a heart.
at first i was pissed off at this.... until i read that last guys post!!! thats F'n funny.... GREAT PRANK QJ!!!
Well honestly there is a chance that 90% are kids. I know lots of dads buying flash carts for their kids. (that only concerns people who use the internet I guess or have gamer friends but it's more than I thought) to save themselves some bucks.
Honestly I haven't bought a PSP game in a long time... but I don't think any have been worth buying. I've been playing PSX games mostly on my PSP not PSP. Most of which I can't find anymore. As for PSP, I might buy Phantasy Star, Patapon 2 when it comes out, and maybe Dissidia. So far in my mind I don't have any games that are worth buying. (Not that there aren't good games, but most I want are in Japan) Other games are like Gundam vs. Gundam and Bleach games etc. those games have low gameplay value just play for fun kick some ass but never buy. Sorry for Gundam vs. Gundam, good game, but it doesn't give me enough reason to buy it.
I'd only buy games that interest me personally not just that are fun. And yes PSP is mostly dying in America, but not failing. Though funny today some guy just bought one for his kid at work.
Reborn? I doubt it needs to be reborn-ed just needs to make more commercials and maybe allow homebrew, blocking piracy ISO (for the sake of legalities). Then showing it off with Skype, (definitely might improve sales) a GPS tracker, IM clients, things that people use frequently, and then maybe have a harddrive though maybe just come with a bigger memory card.
Wii/DS games have been failing lately. Wii more than DS.
Wow...why did you do this..I mean I didn't go out and buy the game, but some people did, along with a 3000, which is ALOT of money....When I first read this, I was extremely excited(like the others), and then bam....A blow to the gut.......
whoever bought the game/psp3k before even checking the file - you are so stupid, words cannot explain.
are you always taking everything for granted without trying to verify the information? buying psp3k or a game requires you to spend some money, are you that rich?
it is a most awesome joke i've seen in years. ones that got caught in - they totally deserve it.
put an update up, saying it was a joke already
Scanlines!! =D
I had a great laugh, even though I'm a few days behind. Good one, QJ!
what a douche!
I don't mean to bash anyone, but I think you guys should give QJ a break. I mean, we are the only ones who are allowed to pull a prank.
They get bashed all the time daily about anything. Even little trivial things. But they keep going, posting news, (Whether late or not, they are busy people.) and posting downloads, etc.
Heck, I bet if they decide they had enough and shut down the site, you'll all miss it. Trust me, I've seen numerous sites in QJ's position. People bashing endlessly when its up, then complaining and bashing some more, endlessly when it shuts down because of the bashing.
Anyway, shouldn't you have downloaded the file and checked it first instead of counting your chickens before they hatch?
Also, it must have been April 1 for them, and times are different around the world. Give them a break.
these people who rushed out and bought the game or a psp3000 are the type of people who would of bricked their system using the 0okm 2.80 downgrader (remember all the bricks before 0okm didnt put safe guards in the program making it halt on error)
because you dont read and analyse stuff first
when something new comes out, you dont have to be the first to use it
let someone else be you guinea pig
"(...) because you dont read and analyse stuff first (...)"
"(...) Anyway, shouldn't you have downloaded the file and checked it first instead of counting your chickens before they hatch? (...)"
that is so true.
apparently, psp user community has incredibly high percentage or morons and idiots (not to mention the warez kiddies). or trolls. let's be honest - mostly warez kiddies.
it this is going to propagate on other console communities - i'll doubt anybody will feel the urge to even attempt to hack them.
i did some minor help when FMCB for ps2 was being developed. it was good, while it lasted, but the flood of "how do i play warez with this" questions after the release was quite depressing.
where did "think before posting" rule go? or rather, where did the thinking go?
wow, calm down. Your own fault for buying the game. They will always be bugs and such in newly dicovered exploits, so even if it was real, I would still wait a while before mindlessly messing with my PSP.
oh, and Mabie A is a girl.
Have you looked into return policies?
You're really a F**King Retard. A child can see this is a joke. If you want to hack, then make your own. Don't blame anybody else. You didn't carefully read it before doing anything. You rushed in and you got mistake, then you blame people. you're really a retard.
im laughing at all you noobs who are *****ing you went out and bought the game. well hey, you bought the game, makes up for the MANY games im sure you all downloaded illegally anyways. and its a good game to boot.
also, you should have downloaded the file, previous to your being such noobs and going out and buying the game. serves you right for not doing your research and looking at the download. and common, it was april 1st where QJ is based out of (for all you *****ing it was april 2nd).
props to the poster on this one!
bunch of suckers.. serves you right..
dont be a sucker
if news is posted of a hack
be sceptical
wait for posts either confirming or denying its true
download the hack
look at the files
read the .txt files or other readme's
google it
learn of any probs people face in other forums
then make an EDUCATED decision, so you dont get caught like kriggz the idiot
Because nobody gets paid to make fools out of innocent people! I'm glad I doubt everything until it's clear.
There was no mention of user or kernel. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
I had just recieved a psp3k as a gft and rushed home to see if I could mod it and I came across this post. I opened it, downloaded the file, and then...I was like FUUUUUUUUUUU--- but then, I started thinking. Perhaps this prank enraged soemone out there who will now work all the harder at finding an exploint for the psp3k. If not, its just a matter of time until the modding community finds one. To date, the community has managed to mod nearly every model of every system there is, it just takes time and patience. So, for now, I will sit here and wait. And maybe come next April I will not get fooled again!
Good prank, bad timing. Now get to work people, I needs mah homebrew.
math has said already thats there is no rush to hack the PSP-3000 since there are already so many hackable PSP's already.
so i advise you to sell the PSP-3000 and try to find a TA-085 PSP-2000 (or other hackable MoBo type) or a PSP-1000.
because you really arent missing much downgrading from 3000 model.
personally i think the PSP-2000 looks heaps better (i own all 3 generations), it may look better in the sun (i havent actually tested this yet) but even if its true, you wouldnt play in the sun most of the time anyway so its pointless.
just put the PSP-2000 up against the PSP-3000 in the sun playing Every Extend Extra (brilliant game)
the PSP-3000 did look better, actually alot better.
but i still stand by what i said
most of your gaming wont be in the sun.
so its up to you
keep your PSP-3000 which MAY (or may not) have HEN soon
or swith to a second hand PSP-2000
i am yet to buy a second hand PSP-2000 that hasnt been hackable yet.
and i buy alot of PSP's
i cant stand scratches, one scratch on the screen and i sell or give the old one away and buy a new or near new second hand one
You have to realize, you're a total schmuck to believe something like this. It's your fault for jumping the gun about something before you FULLY RESEARCH IT. If you really need the money, you'd be smart enough to resell the game to another idiot willing to buy it on Amazon or Ebay. Nobody is going to care about your boo hoo sob story, especially because you're sinking so low as to issue empty threats to the writer of the article. You might not even realize it could have been someone else's idea, or even a collective idea from the QJ writers. Either way, all of these threats of spam and viruses will come to nothing. You'll either sell the game and get your money back, or you won't and you'll just be depressed some more. Either way, you won't do anything past that, because you simply can't.
