    @antcapp : everything I know about hacking that is worth mentioning, I usually write an article about it:

    The day I start looking for kernel exploits, I’ll write about it. For now, I don’t have that kind of time. My interest is in homebrews, and I don’t need a kernel exploit for that.

    Hola wololo , soy yeyo , te mando este mensaje para avisarte 2 cosas. (Espero que puedas traducir este mensaje con el Google Traductor)

    1) Tienes muchos seguidores hispanoamericanos y españoles , y todos estamos muy agradecidos por el HBL , muchas gracias por aportar a la Scene PSP

    2) He hecho un video mostrando (Lo que yo creo que es un Fallo de los Ingenieros de Sony) , Se puede SEMI-EJECUTAR un Homebrew con el Nivel de control parerno activado
    Digo Semi-Ejecutar por que cuando aparece el logotipo PSP , Me manda al Menu XMB mostrandome un error.

    No se si se puede hacer algo mediante este fallo , Algun exploit o algo por el estilo , Espero que si.

    Espero que me envies una respuesta , Saludos!

    Wagic is terrible…. before I do not know how to play, just aimlessly making the deck and being defeated by opponent.
    However, once understand how to play, addicted.
    Thanks wololo.
    However, Just have an idea. will it be possible to port this to android OS?

    Thanks Dee, I assume you meant “Terrific” instead of Terrible :P
    Regarding android..this is something I am thinking about, but I have no experience with this platform yet.

    Reply

  11. Dee’s avatar

    Wololo,

    Both terrific and terrible. Terrific for sure, terrible because it is too additive.

    Actually I learnt how to play from a tutorial online. after download and play for some games, which it will step by step teaching the newbie, I get the clues for the game.

    I think of Android because this platform now is used in many mobile phones. I wish I can learn how to program something on this platform just for fun. Also no one knows whether the next firmware of PSP, or the next generation of PSP, can support such game. What I wish is that, even the next generation of PSP no longer support homebrew games or application, there is still somewhere that can still play this amazing game.

    Hi it seems like there is an bug in hbl r97. If you use the menu and browse to the root of your ms there comes up an message with something about the bios. After restarting my psp I played a game ( FIFA 09) and sometimes the psp turns off by itself. So I think that there’s a bug which modifies the psp bios ( or better to say damages the bios). It would be great if you could let me know if it is a bug or something other. I know that you don’t want any bug reports for stable versions, but I don’t know what I can do to repair the bios file. I’ve a psp 3004 fw 6.20. Hope you’ll answer soon and I hope you apologize my english i know that it is bad
    thanks

    @randy: that’s Japanese, incorrectly displayed on your computer.

    J416 is Japanese and therefore his readme as well.

    We are in the process of merging is code into our code base. J416′s release should be considered as a “proof of concept” rather than a “lambda user” friendly release for now. Meanwhile, be patient, or learn Japanese ;)

    hi wololo
    what is going on with the hbl using the patapon 2 exploit? will there be new versions coming out soon or did you stopped the project and concentrate on higher firmware exploits ?

    Reply

  25. wololo’s avatar

    @randy: no, if sony makes a higher firmware, you will need to update in order to access the PSN, and therefore you will lose the ability to run HBL, until a new hack is found.

    @matze791: this will be the same HBL. Every update we make to HBL will hopefully benefit both the patapon exploit and the Hot shots golf exploit.

    Hi wololo you know the ps3 was recently hacked and mathieulh and his team released the code to make it a homemade exploit.For now it requires to program special hardware with the compiled code to work but they say it will be ported to the psp and require a hacked psp.Will we be able to run iyt through hbl it would be awsome to hack(enable homebrew) on the ps3 using our homebrew enabled psb.

    p.s. : imagine the possibilities for the homebrew we can run through the ps3′s MONSTER hardware…?

  35. Artoro’s avatar

    You think you’ll be able to run newer homebrews like DS on the PSP someday with HBL?
    But more importantly, I found a video on youtube that works pretty good with HBL’s newest version, uploaded today, and I tried it on my PSP. Even with sound, it was pretty damn fast. But I really like audio with my games, and N64 was my favorite system while I was a kid, so would you mine trying to test a Daedalus emulator on HBL (Not sure about which version of Daedalus btw)? And here’s the link:

    Hello Wololo, would you be interested in unirete to make PS3JB DeViaNTe pair? PS3JB good because it is a port of the PSP PSGroove the moment DeV has already got the PC to detect it as a HUB. Although it could do it alone, you prefer to deviant with someone who has enough knowledge, and that person you are looking for, it fits perfectly in you. Look, I post in a forum elotrolado the project and in just over a day and has 400 comments and have already seen a hundred thousand people, imagine exposing this project with deviant, I ariais famous worldwide. Well as a greeting and send me a email with your decision!

    Hello Wololo, I’m Frapsp98 and I am from Playstationlandia.com, I am doing a kind of Homebrew That speaks about Coming Soon Homebrew’s made by some developers, so it’s a kind of Interview…
    Have you got some idea about Homebrews that you want to develop?
    The 100 revision of the Half Byte Loader is the last one? Or you are going to do some more?
    Bye

    Hi frapsp,
    I have lots of ideas for homebrews, but unfrotunately no time to work on them. So for now I’m focusing on Wagic and HBL

    There will be more revisions of HBL. I’ll keep working on it as long as people are using it. And I’m sure other devs too.
