* - The idea is to overwrite a specific pointer in memory that determines where to return after a function call. Overwrite it to point to somewhere else... say, somewhere else in that big name we just loaded into memory... and once the function returns it'll jump into the big name and treat it as program code instead of a name, so if we put code in there it'll run!

That's how I understand it at least, though I left off the technical terms.]]>Jan 20th 2009 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/Jan 5th 2009 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/

Q: Will this allow downgrading?
A: No, because this is an usermode exploit and functions required to downgrade are
only available in kernel mode.]]>Jan 5th 2009 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/Jan 5th 2009 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/Jan 5th 2009 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow]]>Jan 5th 2009 11:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/





The rest is plain damn luck, GTA: LCS, Lumines 2, now Gripshift, its a wonder that they found these glitches amongst the hundreds of games on the psp.]]>Jan 5th 2009 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/Jan 5th 2009 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/

I agree completely. The system is dead and homebrew killed it.]]>Jan 5th 2009 11:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/
A bit of history for you:
-The first internet browser for the psp was with a hacked Fired Up game. (pre 2.0 FW)
-480x272 (AVI or MP4) playback, way before 3.0 FW was out.
-GPS before it was officially available (though you needed some soldering skills)
-a Java Virtual Machine
-Playback on TV before it was officially supported (PSP-2000), though Sony did it better
-A crude PS one emulator (though Sony did come out with a better, stabler version)
-As a universal remote (yay for us PSP-1000 users!)
-And anything else that could be coded in C running on a 333MHz MIPS proc with 32MB of RAM.

With such an active software development community, I don't see it becoming dead in the next few years.]]>Jan 6th 2009 2:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/
I own a hacked PSP. I won't lie, I'm part of the problem. I say the homebrew community killed the PSP because from a developers standpoint, I would never put my time and effort into a product that will so easily be pirated. Game development, just like all software development, is a long and tedious undertaking.

It simply isn't worth developing for the PSP anymore.

Holy hell, the homebrew = piracy = no sales argument again. So you're telling me that people should stop making games for the X360, PS2, PC and Wii because it could be so easily pirated?

What about the DS?

The DS is also hacked to high-heaven, but it sells. It sells really well. Nintendo just was able to capitalize on the casual gamers, the ones that are immediately sold on the cute factor, coupled in with a simple yet solid gameplay.

I like my psp for 'some' of the games which would never be available on the DS, or the games that would look even crappier on the DS. In example, the psp has God of War, Crisis Core, etc, games that are good to be played once, but have very little replay value. The DS has Nintendogs among other games, with the cute graphics, simple gameplay, and highly replayability, why shouldn't it sell?

Blaming piracy for not developing good games is BS at its best. The 4 platforms I listed above proves that you could earn a lot of money even with the rampant piracy, if there are enough good games.

Homebrew doesn't kill a platform, poor games do.]]>Jan 6th 2009 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/Jan 5th 2009 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/Jan 5th 2009 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/Jan 6th 2009 4:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/psp-3000-finally-screams-hello-world-homebrew-to-assuredly-fo/I've been waiting for it to be hacked
