Illuminati exploit brings homebrew to all PSP Firmware!
If this isn’t one of the biggest updates in awhile for PSP gamers then I don’t know what you’re waiting for – go get a DS. However on a serious note, some PSP gamers love their PSP and all the “great features Sony has to offer”, so much that they update their precious system firmware as to not miss a beat. Updating your PSP’s firmware to the latest firmware has come at a cost, as some are left stuck without the glory of homebrew. All thats about to change, as Archaemic and Noobz have made some major progress on bringing homebrew to the newer firmware PSP’s.
Homebrew working on all PSP firmware (even 3.50) with a Lumines UMD and Illuminati exploit!
I couldn’t believe it either. Many of us are sitting next to our favorite puzzle game Lumines right now. With this new PSP exploit, the blissfully sweet puzzle game can now be forged like a double edge sword. Giving PSP owners, 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 the Noobz ‘Hello World’ app, which in the future will transform into HEN (Homebrew Enabler) and a downgrader. Amazing!
Noobz Guide for running the Illuminati Exploit:
- Check that you have an EU or US version of Lumines (ULES00043 or ULUS10002). Currently we don’t have a version for the Japanese version, but we’re working on it, as soon as we get hold of a Japanese UMD.
- 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 v3.10 – v3.50 PSP
