Update: I could confirm that the US version of the game is exploitable as well, as I managed to write a Hello world for the US version 
Coder J416′ s announced a few hours ago that his port for HBL on 6.31 is ready.
He had encountered issues unloading the main module of the game (understand: freeing some Ram for homebrews) so his work was delayed and the port of HBL wasn’t as easy as expected, but he figured out a solution to this critical issue yesterday, and announced that his code is almost ready. He announced on his blog that the release, as planned, would be done this month, most likely in less than a week.
The game used for the exploit is available on UMD and its name will be announced soon as well. It hasn’t been confirmed yet if this game is available on PSN (I’ll update this post as soon as I know). JP, US and EU versions of the game exist, although for now the exploit only works on the JP version (mostly because no hacker has worked on the US/EU versions yet, but there’s a good chance the exploit exists in those versions too, which we will of course investigate).
I will keep you updated as I get more news, if you can read Japanese you can follow the news on mamosuke’s blog or j416′s blog. I am not directly involved with this port (which was entirely done by j416) so I haven’t personally tested it yet, but mamosuke and j416 have kindly kept me updated in the past weeks (thanks guys ).
I’m extremely excited to see the results. Please keep in mind that HBL “only” allows you to play homebrews, so when the name of the game is released, please don’t buy it for an insane price if you’re expecting to play pirated games, or you’ll be disappointed. Also be sure that Sony will patch this exploit soon after it is released, so I think people who are using HBL with the patapon exploit should keep using it. Upgrading to 6.31 for the ability of playing network games, or connecting to the PSN, will probably just last for a few days/weeks before the exploit gets patched.
Stay tuned
im just saying dose porting it to 6.3x make the syscalls wrk better or worse, is say dadealus r14 going to run at a higher fps just because its running from a different exploit?
Is the game on psn so I can use it on my go? I had to update it when I bought it to use it. I had one on 6.20 but it was stolen.
The worst part was losing hbl. Thanks for your work.@cv and Pregnant and 13
It has probably the same speed because the umd or patapon does only load the hbl, the hbl itself haven´t changedlove it
@DarXPloit_$a1
we still don’t know if hes using Wololo’s HBL or his ownIt clearly states that it is ported to use HBL. Theres only one Half-Byte-Loader. He can make his own, but then it would be called differently…
HBL is just an eLoader.
This is great! I cant wait!

@Vandurol
oh, lol I failed to notice that
I knew HBL was named HBL but I didn’t realise that :pI’m gonna bet the instant this meets the light of day, we’re going to get even MORE complaints about ISOs/PSX eboots/lack of kernel access. I’m both amazed and appalled at how greedy and childish most of the people I’ve seen still floating around are. Maybe it’s just because the PSP is more mainstream than other devices, but I dunno.
Also, I wonder how they’re going to maintain the two seperate versions of HBL – will the official build start to contain support quick enough, or are the 6.3x users going to have to stick to an old revision like 85?
Questions, questions~
@Wolfadong
he uses wololo´s hbl , and modified it@DarXPloit_$a1
I know -_-@Kawashiro
yea I agree with you, most people are just wanting iso’s so they can download all the game they want BUT some homebrew are iso’s, still not a lot though. all Iv asked from wololo is a gb after he got that nes emulator to workhi wololo jus a quick question release time is 22.00 tuesday. So wil that be 22.00 japan time cheers.
Very interesting stuff. Been at GDC Europe 2k10 w/ Hellcat and haven’t been paying too much attention and then I check up on things, and we got this and psjailbreak? Cool stuff! Wololo, give me a quick email if you get this, I’ll be traveling for two days to get home so, anyway, talk to you from various airports and train terminals across 1/2 the world before I am home, but I’ll be trying my best to check email. I hope the new Boeing 777 have wifi! : )

Finished translating the j416 blog. Relese date it 8/24/2010 at 22:00 not sure if its jap time
i heard from many other hack sites its releasing in august 24th at 8:00 pm , (the day after my birthday) so i will have plenly of money to buy the game
excuse me because my question is not about this page :
can you hack the earlier firmwares of psp for example 6.2 or 5.03 to show that they are higher than 6.3 and 6.31 then we can downgrade as an upgrade !@Mahdi : I´ll answer your question. No you can´t do this. It´s because the Update of Sony has a signature.(It´s signed). If you would try to change something of the update, then the signature is broken. The update would be corrupted and you couldn´t even start it. If we would know the signature, then we could directly install custom firmware, and wouldn´t need your idea
22.00 japan time yea so 2.00pm in uk time.
we need an inside man from Sony to get the signature then…
Does anyone know if the game is available on the US psn?
@Oaky180: well, some company´s got there app running, like datel´s action replay , but that was patched in 6.30
Oh, and I don´t think that everyone who works by sony know the signature ^^”. Only a few special people would know , but don´t tellyyyeeahhh
@eslongo
These are Wololo’s words written at the top of the page:
