Wagic on the PSP3000 – Thanks Davee!

May 7, 2009 in Wagic, hacking | 17 comments

I’m happy to announce that I was succesfully able to play Wagic on the PSP 3000, using the ChickHEN revision 2, as you can see on the following video:

I also contacted Davee regarding the donation promiss I made a while ago.

I’ve received a total of 50 euros so far through Wagic, so I was ready to send half of this to Davee, but I’m glad to say he agreed with my alternate idea of sending this money to the Red Cross. Here’s what Davee replied to my PM:

“Sweet :) I think giving it to the Red Cross is a better idea though. They’ll spend the money much better than I will”.

I therefore decided to send all the money I got from donations to the french Red Cross.

If you see the sum on the picture, it’s not 50 euros, but 32. The rest of the money was previously spent on a Gripshift UMD (damn), and a flash card for my wife’s NDS (and for those who wonder, no, she doesn’t play ISOs, but she uses Moonshell a lot for mp3s). She deserved that for all the time I’m spending on my PSP and not with her :)

And they lived happily ever after…

Don’t you love it when stories have such a happy end? Well, the HEN is still a pain in the A## to load because of the Tiff instability, so try not to crash your PSP too often. As far as I’m concerned, I’ll try to improve Wagic’s stability (to avoid being the cause of the forementioned crashes), and I’ll start working on network features as promised. Don’t hold your breath though, there’s a long way before we get multiplayer in Wagic.

    Je n’ai jamais joué à Magic mais j’ai eu un pote qui y jouait quand j’étais môme.

    Après avoir regardé ta vidéo, je dois dire qu’il est très impressionnant visuellement. Dommage que tu n’aies pas les droits pour utiliser les designs des images, ce serait du niveau d’un jeu commercial que tu as réalisé à toi tout seul!

    Encore bravo.

    As an owner of multiple PSPs in the past I love the homebrew scene. Right now I have 2 PSP 2k’s. One has a broken screen but it still works with the TV out function. They are both to OFW 5.03 and I have been waiting for a long time for a new exploit. This has allowed me to play the wonderful card game on my portable. ChickHEN R2 does not allow WiFi to work. I don’t know how many people are out there right now with only ChickHEN, but I personally don’t need to see WiFi working immediately. I would personally rather see more abilities coded into the game. Regardless this is amazing and wololo is the bomb!

    @cs ol: out of curiosity, why did you come to my blog if you don’t know what Wagic is? (or at least if you don’t have a bit of an idea…)
    To answer your question, Wagic is a PSP Card game that allows you to play against an AI, as said in the Title of my blog. It uses the rules of Magic the Gathering.

    Nice post, wololo :)

    It felt just like yesterday when we thought the psp 3000 was “un-hackable” :P

    Hopefully we will have more excitement like this to come in the psp scene ;)

    VIVA!Homebrew!!

    BTW….
    Sorry for my stupid comment.

    I heared some news about a new LibTIFF Crash on FW5.50 and it is said released from you.

    I wrote an article about its news on my blog ’cause we were glad to be found another exploit(or possiblity to be an exploit) on the newest FW of PSP.

    But I can’t find any proof of it…means you really announced…at here or some forums.Is that a same TIFF you found in the past? Or modified one?

    Hi mamosuke, The tiff crashes I’ve found in the past for firmwares 5.xx are not exploitable. It is highly probable that they still crash the PSP, but long research has been done, enough to say that no exploit is going to happen with those.

    Google will give you more information than me, but it is the library used to display images in the tiff format.
