Gaming 6.20 Save Data Exploit!

[Lily]

:/ i'm gonna see how this one plays out. Doesn't patapon 2 demo need 6.10 anyway?

No -- the demo came pre-installed on my Go with firmware 5.70.

The problem is that one of the people who actually found the exploit and can actually do anything with it, wololo, got mad with this leak and said that he wasn't gonna make the eLoader anymore.

But he's good now and he says that the eLoader is quite some months away.

As long as people don't update before a proper exploit is released, shouldn't they be fine? I don't see how an early release completely kills the exploit (assuming end-users get the news and aren't dumb).They need 6.20 to access the PSN store.
But you can download demo's off the Internet anyway and stick it on your PSP Go.
Assuming you can do that with a PSP Go

The last exploit got fixed fast. This might too.
I'm sure Sony has a secret weapon

Like 6.30 firmware.

PSP Scene - Less drama, more tumbleweed.

Thanks for the information. I am a new psp go owner, and would love to see this further developed into cfw.

 

[lenselijer]

is it possible to put the patapon2 demo on your psp go with usb? or do you need to download it from the store?

Yah, u can download it from a link off of the exploit download, and transfer it to the game section of your memory stick

problem is...most 6.20 games (i.e. Kingdom Hearts, God Eater) haven't been released yet...and they'll have ample time to change the required fw for these games....

Though, I'm still very thankful that they are working on this.

I'm all for custom firmware but if custom firmware prevents me from enjoying Kingdom Hearts on release date I'll gladly buy the game and update to official firmware to play it.

Well, we can't say anything certain about FWs. But if we have a semi-CFW like the 3000 has, then you could just buy through MediaGo.

To be literal, it's not wasted. This exploit means every PSP 3K/Go between 5.03 and 6.20 can at a minimum be hacked to run user mode software. The timing of the release doesn't change that.

What it does mean however is that the window of opportunity got shorter. Now Sony is going to produce a fixed firmware and put it on new units ASAP, not to mention push this update out via games and PSN. If this exploit was kept under wraps until a later time (like when the eLoader was ready) then there would be even more PSPs and games coming with the faulty firmware, which would allow even more people to enjoy the option of hacking their PSP.

Basically nothing was gained by releasing this exploit ahead of the eLoader. I don't expect that this is going to do anything to speed up hack/software development, so all this really accomplishes for now is tipping off Sony and ending the production of vulnerable PSPs.

However this shouldn't sour things too much. We have our first working user mode hack for the PSP go - this is the first step towards running user mode programs, and possibly a CFWe if the hackers can find an admin mode hack in 6.20. So this is still quite the accomplishment.

Ah, totally makes sense. I wasn't thinking that far ahead. Well I guess we just gotta make the most of it now

Why would anyone buy a PSP Go? It will still allow people to play games that don't require higher firmware and enjoy homebrew on a larger range of firmwares; if/when they make a CFW enabler.
