Endless Paradigm

Seems like the guys at PSPGEN have discovered more interesting things in decrypted files from firmware 6.00.  Looks like Sony has a list of games that they have found vulnerabilities that could lead to Hacks like Homebrew Enablers (HEN) or Custom Firmwares.  Some of which wee already know and others wee have never found out about.  Here's the info translated with Google.

Quote:The method that Sony uses to prevent games with faults to be used as a gateway to the underground has to know the exact list of games known by the manufacturer.

A listing AB5000 have decrypted the 6.00 and have found an interesting list in module savedata_utility. Dr x. This module contains the blacklist games that pose concerns via their backup and allows precisely to prevent their use.

This list has been revealed and wee can now publish the list of games for which Sony has found a parade. As you will see, there are even titles that nobody suspected vulnerabilities and the best news of all is that some games like Medal Of Honor 2, see their vulnerability to run 5.55 (or even 5.70 unpublished).

As you can see, the game Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, Pursuit Force - Extreme Justice had not been public announcements yet Sony has detected.  It is with the Kernel vulnerabilities like Gripshift wee had tried to keep warm for the PSP go. Sony is starting to take seriously its handheld console and is working to try to reduce the possibilities of hack to zero.

thus reducing the possibility that I buy one to zero.

way to go Sony.

So I can't play Lumines anymore?

you got to love these translations! :)

to bad sony disabled the Gripshift exploit,. :(

doesn't this mean that new exploits can be made for under 6.xx PSPs?

XanderChaos Wrote:So I can't play Lumines anymore?

I would think it means the exploits are fixed in firmware, like blocking the tiff exploit...the way its translated probably makes what sony did sound different.

I assume so...

The n00bs may be crying in pure ecstasy if this takes off.

Yes you can play Lumines, but it save exploit is patched, and from these list exploits/hacks can be made for any psp under 6.00 firmware such as 5.55, 5.70

yup. sounds like pspgo is fudgeed

No.

PSPgo runs 6.00, so its protected from them.
