there you have it... it's released =/
that do you think will be the fallback from that?
I wonder if Sony can do anything about it...

I was wondering if anyone has looked into comparing the psp_ipl.bin and the kbooti.bin. After all we did not have the IPL in the first updates… updated… so is the kbooti.bin the IPL for ver 1.0 through 1.52? Is there’s a chance that the IPL will have to do with encryption key-updates (some part of k...

I haven't had time to look at it, but from your words it looks a lot like the kbooti.bin

remember that some of the modules are not accessible through the usual device accesses, I guess the ipl: should be assigned to the "restricted" section of the flash?

I was wondering why the ipl:/ in not in the list?
could the bruteforce search have missed it?

When developing homebrew, how do you simulate the PSP’s screen output? If I’m making a background image, after I’m satisfied with the result on my colour profiled monitor I adjust the gamma to 0.6, and sometimes add a small saturation increase to match the reproduced image by the PSP. Without colour...

8mm with digital out? you sure? anyhow, just get a firewire card (if you indeed have digital out), get video-editing soft. and capture the tape. IF you only have something like S-Video out, you can either look for a capture card (that captures S-Video), or get/borrow miniDV camcorder, use it to pass...

Agoln, I'm trying to use your tutorial and setup the dev--C++, I have a few questions...

shoudn't there be additional directories set in the CompilerOptions>Directories
?

where does the psp-gdb.exe come from?

where does the makefile.bat come from? (any instrucitions how to make it?)

does this tutorial work when setting up with the "win32 native (non cygwin) psp toolchain"? The devkitPro team are proud to announce the addition of a PSP toolchain to our collection. This is based on the patches from http://ps2dev.org/ and includes PSPSDK 1.0+beta. The release will be mov...

no need to "crop"
just keep it under 150k and 24bit bmp.

get one that works and see if you have the same problem.

keep the images in the ROOT something like x:\01.BMP

Aglon, thanx. do you know if the PSPE compensates fot the PSP LCD? when I was doing a background for the PSP I had to make a gamma correction in order to match what I was seeing on my monitor. here's the original-->thumb--> thumb-simulated as seen on PSP screen http://www.alienminds.ca/PSP-bg.jpg th...

edit:

just want to point out that newer games come with the 1.5 ver update in the sysdir/update
there is the usual param.sfo and
eboot.bin (data.psp)
data.bin (data.psar)

I was looking at some program modestly priced at about 3,500$ which does a few things as: Image Conversion and Color Equalizer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can convert full color image to "PSP™" specific image format such as RGBA4444,...

sorry, I eddited-in the "story" just after you posted

it's late... and I have a few questions on my foggy mind.... 1) Using PSPersonalize I noticed that it looks like the PSP reloads the background (and probably the modules) from the flash after running the homebrew on ver.1.5. (and from the instructions that come with it looks like ver.1.0 the modules...

gorim, I wanted to imply that you may have felt pressured to release the psptoolchain sooner in order to differentiate your release and enforce the legality of untainted creation. re: organization structure... IMHO lack of organization does not implay commercial-free intent (it just promotes anarchy...

ooPo: sorry, I worded it wrong. I know that there are people in NA who got the JAP for dev purposes already. When I said to "jump-start" I meant that after making brewing possible for the masses in NA, this will "jump-start" a lot of new interest in development coming from people...

gorim, I cannot say there's "harm" that had come, and I actually appreciate the way things go here. In my view the organization here is centered on providing the tools for development, with legal low-level code generation for providing the basics. At least on the surface there's no organiz...

here's a way that may increase the percieved resolution of your custom background image. (simply put) people perceive more vertical resolution (you can "see" more horizontal lines) than horizontal ("see" more vertical lines). instead the common accepted dimetions of 300x170 with ...

or try it with \UPDATE%\EBOOT.PBP (1.52) \UPDATE\EBOOT.PBP (1.51) {as here you can try with the actual 1.51 pbp, or the data.PSAR as pbp, or data.psp as the pbp and data.psar in the same folder} have fun, ( as the chance of this to work is slim to none ) :P disclaimer: the above procedures are not t...

since this is exact "exploit" as the previous that needed swapping memory sticks, this will most probably NOT work on ver 1.51 nor 1.52
to get this you will need modification of the loading construct.

apperantly you don't need a canon to kill a musquito!... who knew?! and it's (at first glance) the same exploit, but they used a second system hole with directory name recognition. first one (directory) with the "%" gets executed the "loader" and authoring process passes on only ...
