Update:Added the US SDK, plus the EU Hello World
J416 finally released his port of the HBL for the firmware 6.30/6.31. The port uses an exploit in the Japanese version of the game Minna no golf portable. People who currently want to enjoy Homebrew on their 6.30/6.31 PSP need an original JP UMD of this game. Compatibility of the exploit with the PSN version of the game has been confirmed, for the US and EU versions of the game.
I haven’t tested HBL through this exploit yet, as I wanted the news out of the door asap, but I’ll be working on merging this port into the HBL SVN codebase in the days to come. Download links below.
HBL Currently only works with the Japanese version of Minna no golf, but Mamosuke confirmed that a similar exploit exists in Minna no golf 2, and I confirmed that the exploit exists in the US Version, “Hot Shots golf”. We will be working hard in the days/weeks to come, to adapt HBL to as many versions of the game as possible, meanwhile, here’s a summary list:
- Minna no golf portable (JP UMD): Exploitable, runs HBL (J416′s port)
- Minna no golf portable (JP PSN): Probably Exploitable, untested
- Minna no golf portable 2 (JP UMD): Exploitable, Hello World by Mamosuke
- Minna no golf portable 2 (JP PSN): Probably Exploitable, untested
- Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee (US UMD and PSN Version): Exploitable, Hello World by wololo (SDK)
- Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 (US UMD): probably exploitable
- Everybody’s golf (EU UMD and PSN Version): Exploitable, Hello World by FrEdDy
- Eveybody’s golf 2 (EU UMD): probably exploitable
- Everybody’s golf 2 (EU PSN): probably exploitable
Do NOT buy the non JP versions of the game just based on hope. As long as nothing’s released, a promise is as good as a fake. Only trust releases. In other words, consider that for now, HBL only works with the JP version of the game!!!
Enjoy 
@wololo: I was wondering if you might be able to realease what you have so far as a BETA so people have somethign to do while there waiting and if you dont want to then thats fine with me THANKS WOLOLO!!!!!!!!!
hey wolo, could you covert this to an old american umd such as god of war or crisis core. just curious thanks.
@alex: it doesn’t work like that. Find an exploit in those games first, and then you can discuss with us regarding portability of HBL.
I want to upgrade to 6.31 from 6.20 but I am not sure if it will be as good, I know syscall estimation is cracked for 6.20 but how bout 6.31? I really love HBL and I don’t want to know if I could live without it. I would stay back in 6.2 because hbl is stable and there is the possibility of cfw right? I heard mars is working with you if so, how and when do they plan on releasing (I saw them say they were looking for ways to write to flash and I thought it was fake but at the same time I want to think it is real, so what do you think, is online multiplayer (Because psn linked games) worth the upgrade to 6.31 with the beta release? Willl there be cfw? Thanks and keep up the awesome work, anybody who gives u crap is jealous.
@clockdryve- ty so much for the plain english, wouldn’t have figured out where to put the h.bin file otherwise.
@wololo- is there anyway to subscribe via email to your progress so as to get an instant update when u post hbl for hsg:ot?
@Urahara72: that’s a nice idea but I don’t have the infrastructure to support that yet. What you can do is subscribe to the rss feed of my blog, which will give you the information probably less than 1h after the release.
@Brandon: I don’t have an answer to all your questions, but for now, homebrew compatibility is better with the Patapon exploit. How far we will improve it for the hot shots exploit will depend on users requests.
I have never worked with team Mars and I will probably never work with them, last time I checked they were just a group of fakers.
As far as I know, no serious team is planning on releasing a CFW for the new models of PSP anytime soon. But don’t quote me on this, lots of teams like to keep their secrets.
Regarding online multiplayer, that’s your decision to make. I personally rarely play online, but I know lots of people like this feature, so…@wololo well thanks for all your hard work then
can somebody please upload a tutorial or something i cant do this with my psp3000 6.31 when i starting everybodys golf umd its shutting down my psp its not work what can it be please help?:(
yah som1 needs to make a tutorial for this…
@wololo, @JJS
None of you are working on exploit Everybody’s Gold 2 EU?@Prodigio: not yet, but we will probably have a look too. Feel free to donate UMDs or PSN coupons so that we can access the game.
@wololo i request to discover something like we can play isoz n csoz on PSP GO
@jean here is freddy’s link from above (save me time explaining where it is). use something like WINRAR to open this “odd” compressed file format. Now connect your PSP to computer and open up FIRST area of “Open To View Files” at your PC’s popup when you make the USB Data connection (this is the ROOT of your PSP’s memory). Now take the folder in your freddy download http://wololo.net/download.php?f=eur_poc.tar.gz called PSP and DRAG and DROP it in SAME area you see a PSP folder on your popup at Your PC connection. Do NOT drop it inside the other PSP folder…..just anywhere so it looks like there is gonna be 2 of the same folders. NOW click “yes to all” in the popup that will appear…you are combining any like folders now. (this will put the savedata FOLDER were it belongs completely automatic. You COULD open the SAVEDATA folder inside the psp folder on your download and just drag-n-drop (or copy) the UCES00012 folder (UNOPENED) into the SAVEDATA folder on your PSP connection…………..anyway, now then take the “h” file (people call it h.bin) and drop that single (unopened) file on the ROOT of your memory stick. Where ROOT is the area when you first connect your PSP to PC and open the connection to see ALL the folders. DO not put it inside anything….just drag and drop and it will fill it in. Now disconnect and start your UMD game. You wont have emulators or homebrew to play yet. You will see the snow fall and “Hello World” and some peoples names. Soon will be more.
Thank you “wololo and friends” I see you have *new* HBL rev 100 out for download now. I can definatly see an improvement in speed
Can back down on frameskip with my nes9XTYL now.Just so all are aware, I downloaded the US version of Hot Shots Open Tee off of PSN just today and HBL rev 100 works on my PSPGo OFW 6.31. Can’t imagine it’ll be up unpatched much longer, HOP TO IT!!!
As a side note : SNESx9TYL is not working with this rev. Has anyone got a decent SNES emulator to run at good speeds?
I think wololo has a 15 CHOICE link and the snes9XTYL of his version works. How you getting US version of HSGOT to work on 6.31 (?) am I missing something?? I’m running 6.10 pspgo and waithing for my 6.31 pspgo to get the HBL it AINT out yet…..correct? I have the new rev 100 running on my 6.10 as of about 2 hours ago. Just checked again to be sure-YEP, my snesxTYL works.
I need a DGEN emulator for HBL rev 100 or rev 99 my sega-genesis is suffering.
My B.A.D PicoDrive is the sega-genesis. I read something on it awhile back and thought it was something I couldn’t use. It works fine in HBL rev 100
Hello i am new to all this stuff and i wanted to ask that i have psp-2000 with 6.31 and how do hack it or something like that??
@Moh, if it’s an earlier version of the PSP 2000 you can purchase a Pandora Battery AND Magic Memory Stick from here http://pandorasales.com/pabaon.html (you shoould get the LED type) can be converted easily between a normal and Pandora battery by push/hold a button on the battery. Now the memory stick http://pandorasales.com/magic-memory-stick-512mb-wit51240133.html I would install the 5.00 M33-6 (there IS an online update to include the 1.50 kernal) *and a small attachment that will allow you to play 6.XX firmware games using the BEST-CFW M33 . **You CAN use a FAT PSP battery (must hold in place) on a slim PSP to hack it…..that way you can ALSO hack a phat PSP (can’t use a slim battery in a phat PSP) So might consider getting a phat (1000) pandora battery. Can actually get a battery at this website PANDORA BATTERY for under $9 but the LED versions are WELL worth the extra
If you get this KIT and still have problems…..let me know. Should be very easy to do. And you can use this over and over on many PSP’s. So make your money back.Ooops, with the SLIM you DON’T want to install 1.50 kernal (don’t worry) that would have been a different download anyway ( not on magic memory stick)…..and there is a download for the slim ALSO that allows the 6.XX games to be playable on a 5.00 firmware. So for about $35 you have a toy-box FULL of “FREE” games!!!!!!!!!!
i need help i do not know were to place data. the saved file is good but i cant seem to get the came to work it said it is no good. can u plezz help me i really wont this. i downloaded all the files and unziped them. k ok i just put the snes9xTYL in the game file it seems to work. were do i put the eLoader file???? or the SDK file. i think the UCJS10075 file is the game but it wont work. i put the ( h ) file were it said psp video music.can some plezz help me my email is travisgibbs20@yahoo.com
i downloaded and unzipped all the files and im pretty sure i installed them right but everytime i start the game (hsgot) my psp shuts off. what did i do wrong?
@flayer….get a fresh download http://wololo.net/download.php?f=hsg-poc-wololo.zip now put the “h.bin” folder on ROOT of memory stick, place where you FIRST get connection to pc-psp without opening any folders….THEN take the PSP folder and place in SAME area as original PSP folder (ROOT) now drop and click “ok to all” so that you combine the SAVEDATA folders. Or just open the psp folder on psp and open the savedata folder (same on download) and then drag n drop or COPY that unopened folder UCUS98614 into your savedata on the connection at PC….all is the same *Just that simple to lay the PSP on same area where you have 2 of same folder and click OK to combine. Maybe next time say where and when you goth the download for install, and what PSP you are using AND the installed firmware you have…..you might have ability to run CFW or even HBL right now. Maybe only the “hello world” proof of concept. Don’t know. I’m taking a break….just had back surgery on the 8th. I need to see if the HBL works on 6.31 pspgo because someone said something like that with rev 100 working but his snes9xTYL shutting down. We’ll see…..knowone answered my question so I guess I reach waaaaaay far away with my CRAMPING back to see if the 6.31 has been fully HBL hacked after I install HBL rev 100. Or if I need to continue using my PSP-Go with 6.10 firmware. Woe is me
@flayer….reason I say to get a “fresh download” of the hbl exploit is because the very FIRST download from all over the internet had a MISSING file and needed to be downloaded again from updated locations.
I dont really want free games but i want to go youtube or have emulators and homebrews.
@Moh you will get that and more with the Pandora install. Otherwise you must continue to wait……because 6.31 firmware is not “fixed” yet to allow homebrew. It will be soon though. There are ways to make a Magic Memory Stick on PC without a HACKED PSP but I dont remember now where the download is available. And a fat PSP battery can be FIXED by taking off the cover and doing some things to the circuit board….but I’m sure thats more involved than you are willing (can ruin the battery if mess up). So just wait it out. I’m sure we’ll all be jumping around within 2 weeks with 6.31 playing emulators. Maybe a lot sooner…………..
@moh, forgot…..you can go to eBay or other places online and purchase “Minna no golf portable” the Japanese UMD golf game and RUN it with the required HBL files from J416′s hack….but as repeated from the previous text made by wololo “the emulators are running slow…..and not all work”. So in the long run Moh>>>>>you would be much happier if you just did the PANDORA to your Slim 2000 version. And then it wont matter WHAT version you install on your PSP, you will be able to downgrade. **All depends on what actual motherboard your PSP 2000 has. Way to much info needed for me to type here to figure out what model you actually have (and you would need to answer questions). You just need to spend a little “quite” time with your computer and psp to find out
But if you just want to “touch” the surface of what you PSP is capable of doing…..wait a little longer for HBL.One last thing Moh (and others) I gave a couple links to pandora battery and magic memory stick BEFORE I realized that there is a link to another site on this forum page (top-left side) The PANDORA battery and memory stick are CHEAPER at the link above on this webpage…..the links I gave earlier will cost you MORE.
I am very SURPRISED in how difficult it is to get REAL information on this forum. The HBL is working wth the US version “hot shots golf-open tee” http://wololo.net/wagic/half-byte-loader-for-the-golf-exploit-ofw-6-306-31/ I’ve only asked 2 times…..I found it finally. Boy….all this hassle for a 47 year old guy—->>> FRESH off back surgery on the 8th. Throw me a bone next time guys.
@clockdryve: to find information, usually wiki or forum formats are better than a blog (which this website is). I never planned to become an official download site for various hacks, it was supposed to be a “once” thing only with the patapon exploit.
Nevertheless, I believe the “Half Byte Loader” link in the top menu is pretty well organized for people who know what they are looking for: (it’s the main page that links to the page you mentioned) http://wololo.net/wagic/hbl/
For the rest, I leave it to people on other websites who give their time to make user friendly tutorials and things like this. I personally don’t have (unfortunately) the time to create a 100% user-friendly experience. I expect my readers to use their brain, just like you did, despite your advanced age
Hahaha, got me
I thought I checked the Half Byte Loader quite a few times. What wasn’t CLEAR is the fact that the HBL download (read me file) *yes….I read those….Had no mention of HSGOT-only the Pantapon2 exploit, AND it says “up to” firmware 6.20 I would think that a simple readme file could be edited to give the basics (considering all the time you guys spent hacking this) **I AM GRATEFUL** but ignorant I suppose So when did this come about?? I’ve been hunting (all places) and checking back here since the 24th and ‘today” I find it. WOW I read many complaints here…..only read one entry that said IT WAS AVAILABLE, and he was having problems with emulator snes9xTYL (thanks for the link to that also), so I was KINDA thinking he was running 6.20 firmware at best. I really wasn’t directing any of this FLASH towards you wololo. You seem to be a very emotionally stable type. And I wouldn’t DARE bite the hand that feeds me hells yeah damm i was waithing for this a long time finally arrived but it would be hard to get the game since there isno cash now jaja WOLO it could be better if you continue on the patapon demo for the 6.31 then when we recive that the this one is working neatly then we get that and its kool if everyone donates my cousin want to donate and me too so you can continue your excellent work and keeping us away from the boredom jaja
There cannot be a Patapon2 exploit for 6.31 because Sony has FIXED that hole. And $10 isn’t to difficult to get these days. just mow some grass or help someone out…maybe they give you some money, and have enough left over for donate
Got a question and don’t EVEN know where to look for the answer (and maybe take a week to find it otherwise) but….I’ve just recently downloaded the “DEV” version of R100 HBL (6.10 PSP Go) and wondering HOW to view this “BUG” mode or what ever…..it seems to be just like the normal version except that it doesn’t use the wallpapers. Any help or a link? Thanks
@clockdryve: it’s pretty much the same thing as the normal version (except the menu as you said, although the menu itself can be replaced), BUT it generates a file named DBGLOG on your memory stick in the hbl folder. That DBGLOG file can be open with notepad if you’re interested to see what’s inside.
@wololo……sweeeeeet!! Thanks
Hmmmm, not many post here recently…..wololo must have sent everyone to their rooms with an emulator or 2 just “FULL” of Roms!! That’s okay…we’ll forgive him for it
Question: I tried to replace the xmenu (HBL Pics) back into the Res Folder so that can be enabled again with the DEV Version or R100, but it doesn’t seem to show any of the images. Am I understanding this correctly “although the menu itself can be replaced” as meaning that I can in fact return the background pictures to the HBL menu?? **I am using this on a PSP Go with firmware 6.10** Thanks in advance.
@clockdryve : you also need to replace the menu’s EBOOT.PBP.
We basically have 2 menus: the “simple” version (black & white, text only) and “wMenu” which has images.
The simple menu is just an EBOOT.PBP file.
wMenu is an EBOOT.PBP + a Res folder.Note that wMenu is longer to load, that’s why it is not included in the Dev version of HBL, which is slow.
Thank again for your time wololo.
Does anyone know whats wrong with the us umd version? I have a psp 3000 with ofw 6.30. i put the h.bin and hbl folders in the root of the memory stick and the save data exploit in the save data folder. at first i thought i just did something wrong but now it doesn’t seem like im the only one having this problem. can anyone help?
@flayer…they are looking into it. In the meantime try to find a copy of the “Greatest Hits” version of Hot Shots Golf Open Tee. There has just been a snag in the plan……US version (old original) has an oddity that is blocking the exploit. Best bet is to get the game from eBay. I purchased another myself yesterday (spare-extra). Or check out your local Gamers or Gamestop that may have one for the going price of about $5 used or $9.95 New.
