Noobz joining forces with FreePlay and MaTiAz to further develop GripShift exploit
The electric buzz of homebrew excitement is back in the air! The Noobz Team has confirmed that they will be joining forces with GripShift-exploiters MaTiAz and FreePlay to further develop the said exploit! It’s a pre-announcement, which the Noobz Team don’t normally do, but we’re glad all the same for it.
This is great news! The Noobz Team has confirmed that they will be joining forces with GripShift-exploiters MaTiAz and FreePlay to further develop the said exploit!
Says the team of their gameplan:
The exploit already includes an SDK to allow porting of homebrew by devs, but that’s cumbersome. Our initial focus will be to make it easier to run standard homebrew via this exploit, by adapting eloader to it. This will be restricted purely to user-made homebrew, since there is currently no public kernel-mode exploit that could be used here, and compatibility is likely to be patchy due to the security measures in the later firmwares which make determining all the syscalls almost impossible. Still, you can expect that at least some emulators and other popular pure user-mode homebrew will run. Beyond that, if anyone finds a usable route to kernel-mode then a HEN and downgrader ought to be doable, but we’re not focusing on that at this time.
As I said, great news! Don’t bug them about timescales, though. Everyone’s apparently very busy at the moment, and there’s obviously a lot of work to be done. Here’s wishing the new GripShift team to making all homebrew dreams come true on the PSP 3000!
