HBL Released for 6.30/6.31
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 🙂
Does anyone know if hot shots golf open tee has been patched by psn?
hello! Does it work with everybody’s golf 2 demo? Because that one is available to download from the psp store..
Well it’s been about 10 days so the chance is getting very slim if HSGOT isn’t patched yet. Hey guys….will my “download” sitting at PSN storage EVER be patched? Or will it forever remain AS I PURCHASED IT before the patch?? (HSGOT and HSGOT2) I would think is illegal for them to transfer any other code to something I own the rights too….or what ever they call it.
@pancho260, give it a try to see what you come up with. Let us know….it’s free right?
yes, it’s free, im about to try it
i couldn’t make it work… seems the demo doesn’t create any save file, so it doesn’t load it..
hello hye there maybe this question has ever been posted (and sorry for the repeat) but is everybody’s golf 2 work on a psp 3004
@clockdryve, actually buying a game doesn’t mean we own the rights to it. We own the right to play it whenever we want is really what it is. Yes, they can patch it just sitting there because when you buy the game from psn you are just downloading a copy with a purchased license. Basically you are making a copy of the game from there servers and they hand over a license for you to play it. When you log in to your account to see your purchased games, all your seeing is a link to download it from their servers. If using Media Go, then your downloads will stay on your HDD temporarily (up to 60 days) so you won’t have to re download it from the servers. So make backups of your downloads to HDD or Blank DVD’s from your PSP/Go. I doubt they will ever do such things but this is Sony we are talking about…
@Hypermephiles mine is questions1997@aol.com now send it i won’t give u the game till u give me the ps1 classics
Alright I purchased the japanese copy of ????GOLF, Minna no Golf from the psn using my ps3, a japanese psn account and a 3000 yen psn card. My only question to anyone out there is whether or not anyone else can view the readme with j416’s hbl port… i see the first line of text as “Half Byte Loader R95 for 6.30/6.31 v1” but then the rest seems to be pure gibberish. I seriously doubt that this is another language as I am currently studying japanese and this is not japanese or any recorded language…

I have tried downloading from other sources to make sure itsnot a corrupted readme but all others look like this… I am unsure of where to place the files on my pspgo internal memory and how to set it all up… any help is much appreciated.
@dctravis: you might need to change your local language to japanese, maybe the readme is not saved as utf8, but shift-jis. Otherwise, just follow the install instructions from the regular HBL, but using the files from j416.
would this work on the hot shot golf demos on PSPdemocenter there are 2 diff ones
demo 1:http://www.pspdemocenter.com/page.php?id=747
demo 2: http://www.pspdemocenter.com/page.php?id=746
okay someone help me
@dctravis I am having the same problem as you
i have gone through much trial and error, attempting to do all of this by myself but now i give up
I have put the current available files from the us versiion link and have put the h.bin file in the root of my psp go ofw 6.31
I then put the save data included into the savedata of my PSP GO OFW 6.31
i then start the game that i downloaded from the psn store for 9.99 and when it starts it crashes
pleases someone help me
again i have a black psp go ofw 6.31
how can i use the hbl on my psp 3004 6.31
i have psp 3004 6.31
how can i use the HBL
i am not able to read the read me file in the zip folder of the HBL
@grrr, maybe your HSGOT game is patched. When did you purchase? You did not open the UCUS98614 folder did you? Just drop that UNOPENED folder into your opened (or drag and drop onto) SAVEDATA folder. Then put the “h” folder (unopened) onto your ROOT of memory stick (location at first connect to PSP)…..NO folders opened. You should then get the “Hello World” exploit (with falling snow) when you start the game. No emulators or homebrew yet. You could also just Drag the PSP folder (unopened) and Drop it onto the SAME location as the other PSP folder (on root of memory stick) THEN click “YES TO ALL” so that it puts the savedata folder together by it’s self. Then set that “h” folder into correct location (ROOT).
I got hotshots US for my pspgo less than 12hrs ago (thanks npt!) and it was still not patched.
You CANNOT put the same name folder into it’s SAME name folder on the PSP. I think that’s what you are saying about the SAVEDATA folder. And to clear it up where I say you can drop the PSP folder in same LOCATION as PSP folder……I mean to just drop it ONTO the ROOT, near or anywhere on that same unopened location. Same folders names cannot be dropped inside same. Would be like locking that folder that was put inside.
K, thanks wololo.
That clears it up some. When he said it crashes after he starts it, it is like when I first tried….and was because I download the wrong file. But my psn game was good. I’m sure it’s just a folder inside a folder problem…..or the savedata (all 6 seperate file’s) where put into savedata folder instead of leaving unopened.
He Has HBL Running On The Psp Go With The Hotshots Expliot No Lie Check It Out http://wololo.net/wagic/category/hbl
At First I Was Like Naw But Then I Saw Him Playing DOOOM, *** i cant wait i cant wait
hows hbl for eu going?
Both hbl for the US And EU are going well they both should be out sometime this month
Aaaaahahahaha, Sony is pi$$ing in their shoes about now (DOOM) Hehehe 🙂 Thanks Wololo……………………………………………………………
Naaaah, they should be used to it by now 🙂 But seriously…..Thanks “Sony” for a GREAT Game System!!
@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 *** 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.
