HBL on hot shots golf: getting there!

Ok, I swear, this is coming soon, please be patient just a little bit more. Half Byte Loader is now roughly compatible with the hot shots golf exploit, both for the EU and US versions. JJS has been working on the EU version while I was busy with the US one. Don’t expect the first release to have the same level of compatibility as the Patapon exploit. We are still digging our way through the game, and there are still a bunch of unstabilities, but we’ll get there. Have fun, watch this video, the first video showing HBL running on hot shots golf US, and compare it with the first video showing HBL running on the patapon exploit, a few months ago.’nuff said :)

Special thanks to npt for the PSN coupon that allowed me to test this on the psp go, and thanks again to psp-hacks.com for the psp itself

    does the hot shots golf exploit with HBL have any better capabilities, features over the patapon 2 exploit with HBL?

    in other words, is the patapon 2 expoit with HBL faster and more efficent than the other exploit?

    im running a psp go 6.20 btw

    @rafael707, You can find more details here http://advancedpsp.tk/foro_es/viewforum.php?f=42

    So far it’s looking like this

    Hotshots Golf HBL

    Pros:
    Shorter load time for HBL
    No annoying Patapon music
    Can play games that require 6.3x OFW

    Cons:
    Have to buy the Hotshots golf game
    Not as much compatability as patapon HBL(YET)

    hopfully the game is not patched i still havent baugyt the game XD and i was one of the ones to wake up at 6 am to go to 711 4 card

    @xXSEEEKERXx. Agreed, that would be the biggest worry….. if they do a firmware update to fix it no biggie…. just don’t update, but if they patch the game, seems like it would be a whole lot of work by the HBL team down the drain and all for nothing….. not to mention people who unknowingly bought the patched game expecting it to work with HBL……. that would major sux.

    i hope patapon 2 remains the better exploit, i would be mad if hot shots golf exploit had more system support

    I have cfw so I don’t need too worry about this stuff. But I find it important too know what’s going on, every time we have a new explote meens more users running homebrew and perhaps cfw. But ATM a user mode explote well tigh over users! Good luck on this. Btw wololo well you still be working on the petapong 2 version of hbl? Idk let’s see what you guys have.

    If some one can get it working properly can they make a link so it will be easy for non devs to install and download the expliot
    Thanks

      If it was ready for “non devs” we would release it. The reason we haven’t done any binary release yet is because people who don’t want to take the time to understand how it works/ how to compile it currently will not manage to correctly run it anyways, even if it’s released in a binary form. I believe a binary release now would give users more frustration than anything else. I’m not preventing people from releasing a binary version, but you guys should trust me when I say it’s not entirely ready.

    wololo… i’ve been searching information about how this exploit works on your webpage, and i have found that this exploit can be compatible with Everybody’s Tennis, which also has a crackeable demo at the playstation store… I’m not very good at programing but if you can please take a look.. see ya

    @cscash241, generally “portability” in the coding world refers to the ease with which the code can be adapted to run on another platform, for example a linux program that was ported to mac, then to windows, or a piece of low level code that can easily run on X86, Mips, and PPC.

    What the HBL team *probably* means by portable, is that the binary loader now has the ability to run on more than just one exploit….. and hopefully that when future exploits are found it can be more easily modified to be used with those too… which would shorten the time from discovery of exploit to stable release by a pretty good bit.

    @Lorz: yes, that’s exactly what we mean by “more portable” :)

    Out of curiousity, will this work on Minna No Golf as well? Or is specifically for US and EU versions. The reason I ask is because I have a JP version 1 and 2 on my PSPGo (6.31).

    1. wololo’s avatar

      We hope this will work on the JP version as well, but we don’t have the game to test

    wow, can’t wait for this. is there any way to install cfw using this exploit?? :D

  36. U_K’s avatar

    Wololo, I think your PSP Go! is running on 6.20, so… will this exploit also works on 6.30 & 6.31? Thanx. :]

    Reply

  37. Reayn’s avatar

    again with the CFW questions….. NO CFW will be created using this exploit as per Wololo. This is an exploit at the user level NOT the kernel level (which is needed for CFW). Read up on the “IMPOSSIBLE” dream elsewhere as this is specifically for HBL 6.31 to run homebrew/Emulators and trust me that is awesome already!

    Hello Wololo,

    my question is: Which version do you recommend for using on any PSP?
    The latest r100 or another?
    Thanks in advance.

    Reply

  39. wololo’s avatar

    @wizarddoctor: if you’re running the patapon exploit I recommend revision 99 for the moment, but if you want to help us debugging, please give a try to R100.
    If you’re running with the golf exploit, then you have no choice, R100 is the only one that works for now :)

    All hail ye King Wololo! Most of us are peasants. We have nothing to offer, but much to receive. We thank you for your generosity of HBL. The games of the past shall remain in the present and continue on in the future! Also Wololo, do you realize that you have changed the gaming world forever? I also heard they are going to change the Patapon song to “Wolo, Wolo, Wolo, lo,…you get the idea. Lol…

  41. npissoawsome’s avatar

    I like this one more, becuase it seems like it loads faster then the patapon 2 exploit, but you also have to buy it

  42. kh10028’s avatar
