Hello, homebrew: PSP-3000's first homebrew game, GripShift Pong v1.0

Old school exploiting for the frakking win! And thanks to the GripShift exploit that MaTiAz and FreePlay found (and are still currently working on), we finally have one of the first homebrew games ever on the PSP-3000.

Using the Hello World Sparta SDK exploit from FreePlay and MaTiAz, PSP homebrew developer dragula96 (of Tetriabetes fame) released GripShift Pong the other day. As he states, it does indeed "feel wrong when a hello world is not followed by pong," and true enough, he followed it through.

Here's a video demo of the game on the PSP-3000, uploaded by mattc41 of the QJ.NET forums:

# deja vu — mballer20 2009-01-11 04:07

feels like i traveled back in time.

# Back in Time — sedkiller 2009-01-11 04:11

Indeed back in time ! I still remember the good old times when exploit was the only way to hack your psp... And it's back AGAIN but im not planning to buy a psp-3000 for now.

# Great! — mattc41 2009-01-11 04:49

Love this pong and happy my vid was posted

# Please please please hack the EU version — mohf 2009-01-11 05:45

I live in Europe, the US version is to hard to get and probebly wont work on EU PSPs :'(

If you hack the EU version, the prices can lower alot!! I mean, who is going to pay €100,- euro for homebrew, if EU is hacked, therell be more games thus a lower price.

# there working on it — mattc41 2009-01-11 05:57

they said they'll try to get it up soon

# Hehehe! — Guest 2009-01-11 06:05

Major time warp huh?

Remember when Noobz released the Illuminati exploit? Sales for Lumines skyrocketed at that time. LOL. And now it's happening for GripShift too! Hehehe!

# why — Epidemik_Sk8boards 2009-01-11 06:39

hide the mac address now, its not like Sony will hunt you down... and besides, the camera didn't even focus in that well. REALLY, if someone wants to flame on me for asking, but does anybody have PROOF that Sony has tracked a single homebrewer and charged them? I know thats why DAX stopped for like 2 seconds, but hes still hacking away.

# agreed — leq 2009-01-11 07:09

hiding the MAC adressed is completely pointless

Interestingly, he ends up showing the Mac adress to the camera anyways

# He says oh shoot — DarkXCloud 2009-01-11 08:15

He shows his mac address in this vidoe XD

# why do..? — kloplop321 2009-01-11 08:35

why do people block their MAC address? you can't actually DO anything with it...

# . — akadewboy 2009-01-11 09:14

Paranoia I spose. It's silly really.

# true — WiiRolled 2009-01-11 10:07

Everyone just hide their mac adresses because they saw someone else doing it.

The disease spreads...

# lol, yea i know — Metal Jody 2009-01-11 10:53

i show my MAC on youtube, clear as day. +)

# Lol — Gameeye2 2009-01-11 10:54

The lumines exploit was how I hacked my psp

# lol — mattc41 2009-01-11 11:34

i dunno and yea i did end up showing it neway i just saw other ppl do it

# .... — Stinky_1 2009-01-11 12:32

I got a T-shirt made with my mac address on it!

# hehe — StingBlah 2009-01-11 12:47

I'm still on the good ol' PSP fatass. Been with it since FW 1.50!!

# yep — Metal Jody 2009-01-11 14:03

me too. 1.50 was awesome.

# i got — mattc41 2009-01-11 15:13

all 3 of the psp's

# heh, gripshift price hike — sickofitall 2009-01-12 01:43

I told you so!!

# yup — WiiRolled 2009-01-12 02:15

Been with it since FW 1.50 as well.

Though I gotta admit, 5.00 M33 is slightly better than 1.50 lol
