Brando's 7-in-1 USB charging cable is a handheld owner's dream come true

It's truly heartbreaking that this gem wasn't available for purchase back when you desperately needed a low-cost gift for that special gamer in your life, but considering how lame the chocolate box you got him / her was, there's still reason to snap this up and slap a belated label on it. Brando's ingenious 7-in-1 USB Charging Cable provides power for PSP, DS, DS Lite, DSi and Game Boy Advance handhelds, and all that is required is a powered USB port and $7. Oh, and the bravery to allow a cable made by Brando (or some random backwoods company in China that Brando is in cahoots with) charge hundreds of dollars worth of your gadgetry.

Frankly, I wouldnt mind trying this out. the only sad part is that I have no handheld to try this on... EmptyoneKnock-knock

 Exploit found in GripShift. Works on PSP-3000

Now then, the details: MaTiAz says that they've yet to find any further use for this, but it's still a new exploit. It could lead to further hacks, and for now, it's merely a proof of concept. Be that as it may, this is a great start, and a rather sweet find! Here's MaTiAz explaining the exploit:

GripShift has a buffer overflow vulnerability when loading savegames. The savegame contains the profile name which can be easily used to overwrite $ra. The savegame file is pretty big (25kB) so you have lots of space to put your code there. I wrote a simple blob of code to paint the framebuffer completely white (to just indicate that arbitrary code is running ). The return address is located at offset 0xA9 in the file. In this poc it points to 0x08E4CD50 (which is only a few bytes after the return address), and the code starts at 0xCC in the file.


It was tested on 4.01M33-2 with US version of GripShift (ULUS10040), and psplink.prx, usbhostfs.prx and deemerh.prx loaded (also without psplink and usbhostfs). The decrypted savegame (sorry, couldn't [be bothered to] get Shine's savegame tool working so it's in plaintext form) is in the SDDATA.BIN form which Hellcat's Savegame-Deemer produces (thanks to him, if the program didn't exist I wouldn't have bothered with this. ). Just copy the ULUS10040SAVE00 directory to /PSP/SAVEPLAIN/ and run the game. EDIT: yeah, don't forget to have Savegame-Deemer working, duh.

There are two versions of the exploit. The first which is the raw form from MaTiAz, the other one (v2), is a version encrypted by FreePlay. It's also been confirmed that it works all the way up to the recent Custom Firmware 5.02 GEN-A.

 IRShell Mod for 5.02GEN
02/01/2009 02:27 PM Posted by: SchmilK in PSP News
GEN developers want no reason for you to say No to their new firmware.

Here is their info for bypassing the firmware check of IRShell to run on their new firmware.

From my quick testing, there is no 'NO UMD' patch support :(  *run the .prx and it says wrong firmware..so that magic bit needs to be found and the psbtn files compared for differences before it edits cause it could make for a bad time* So keep a game in the drive if you want to launch the games in that fashion.

All else is the same..If you would rather hex edit your own changes rather than download all the files, here's the info
In folder MS0:/IRSHELL/BIN/
# irshell500s.prx : Change 00 en 02 at address 0x28F5
# irspops_500.prx : Change 00 en 02 at address 0x0BB9
# nethostfs_500m.prx : Change 00 en 02 at address 0x1E75
# nethostfs_500sm.prx : Change 00 en 02 at address 0x1E75

 Kernel Addon 1.50 for 5.02GEN
02/01/2009 02:18 PM Posted by: SchmilK in PSP News
GEN Developers are at it again!  

1.50 Kernel add on for 5.02GEN.

All files included, just extract ot your memory stick and fun it.

Only install on fat :(  So slim users can still use the TimeMachine for your 1.50 kernel fun.

 CXMB and CTF Converter v2 for 5.02GEN
02/01/2009 02:15 PM Posted by: SchmilK in PSP News
Enjoy your themes from 5.00m33 on 5.02GEN

Drop the .exe into your theme folder and run it.  It will automagically change the magic bit at 0x00000010 from 00 to 02.

Your other option is to use the cxmb that matchung modified to keep the ctf the same..only problem is if any themes are released for 5.02 using miriam plugin then you will have to change the bit to use matchungs prx, or use miriams prx :(  

Things are a bit sticky right now in this time of migration..but there are options :)  Lets hope for some Theme Extra soon!  ;)

*EDITED WARNING*
If a theme has a modified satelite.prx your psp WILL SHUT DOWN when you go to exit the vshmenu...if you are using the in XMB recovery screen this is not an issue.  

*Vegetanos themes and my frosstyboxxy i know for sure have them*



Maybe one of the good programming fellows can make a program that looks in the file for
"vsh/module/SATELITE.PRX" and changes it to "vsh/module/SATELITE.PRY" then that file won't load and there will be no crashes :)
