Following research in conjunction with Archaemic, Noobz are proud to present the first ever all-firmware exploit for the PSP.  Based on Lumines, the "Illuminati" exploit is a user-mode exploit using a buffer overflow in the savedata file - similar to the GTA exploit.

That's right - if you've got a legal UMD copy of Lumines, then you can run homebrew on your PSP - whatever the firmware version.  That includes v3.50! Right now, the only homebrew is the Hello World demo released below - but in future wee intend to release a HEN and downgrader.

To make the exploit work:

    * Check that you have an EU or US version of Lumines (ULES00043 or ULUS10002).  Currently wee don't have a version for the Japanese version, but wee're working on it, as soon as wee get hold of a Japanese UMD.
    * Extract the contents of the 'MS_ROOT' folder from the ZIP file into the top-level of your memory stick. (HINT: If you wind up with an 'MS_ROOT' folder on the stick, you've done it wrong).
    * Start the game, and as soon as it gets to the 'Press START' screen, press START.  If you wait until the demo has started, the exploit may not work.
    * The screen should go blank, and the exploit will start after a few moments.  It doesn't do anything except look pretty at this stage - but feel free to enjoy the first homebrew on your v3.10 - v3.50 PSP Wink
