Who cares. I'll be damned if I'm not going to optimize my playing experience by using hardware modifications. Ninja Gaiden made my Xbox make the worst sound in its history the other night and I immediately ripped that badboy to my modbox. I still have to sit through the piracy screen

Fastloader will do the rip for you. I don't have a line handy, I just googled it.
I ripped Wipeout Pure and Namco Museum, not so much for the loading issue, but so that I can have 3 games with me easily (those two, plus whatever's on UMD) at a time. Oh, and I needed to get it in the firts place so I could play Namco Museum with my old firmware, but found the ripper a nice side-benefit.
If only Untold Legends weren't so big, I'd rip that too. Load times are bothersome on that one.

Binary Loader v0.2 for PSP Firmware 2.0
The creator(s) of the 2.0 Buffer Overflow have spoken with me and have created a way to allow the execution of a binary file from the root directory of the memory stick. I was told that it will load binary files up to 64k from the memory stick, but wont load un-encrypted elf files yet. The file named h.bin must be placed in the root directory of ms0: for it to run. Heres what was said in the readme:
Pure binary loader.
* it's loaded at 0x08810000
* it's max 64 kb
* it's pure binary MIPS code
* you have to use syscalls and not NIDs
* it runs in user space!
* it's called h.bin (paint screen blue yay!) in the root of the MemoryStick
Set the frame_buffer.png as background like before and Place the new overflow.tif in the photos dir and the h.bin on the memory stick. It loads ms0:/h.bin

Can you fit it on a 1gb card? Because I'll buy it if it works with that.
Musashi Wins! said:
nope, unless you edit content out of it to fit on 1 gb (apparantly you can but you wont be able to customize vehicles)
some other load times (from UMD to memory stick)
Wipeout Pure: 8 seconds -> 2 seconds
Lumines: 4-5 seconds -> 0
Hot Shots Golf: 8-10 seconds -> 3 seconds

It's not. I got someone to try having Opera impersonate the PSP browser and access GAF and it worked. Someone else suggested it might be that the PSP browser can't handle gzipped webpages, so that's a possibility. It's also possible that the PSP's browser's HTTP requests are malformed or unusual in some way which doesn't affect normal servers but GAF can't handle. I don't have the right sort of monitoring software to test out either of these theories though; someone needs to bust out a packet sniffer and analyse the packets coming from the PSP.

Ah didn't see Hitokage mention that in response to myself...
I think it does support Gzip. I'm not entirely sure but OA has gzip enabled and thats loading fine. Its definately a curious one. Could it be a vbulletin issue?
edit: No, not a vbulletin issue. Just tried other boards. I don't see why my computer would have no problem accessing it, but the PSP client does. Could it be something to do with what happens between connection > router and PSP? Is GAF sniffing for certain clients?

It's a problem with GAF's server. During the Fireteam Bravo beta signup I discovered I couldn't connect to GAF if I spoofed PSP User-Agent info in Firefox.

I just tried it again and while it works now, the pages are formatted weird. Changing the user-agent effects SOMETHING.

...and the GPS add-on, and the camera add-on, and Gran Turismo Mobile...
I'm actually suprised no one has come out with a full-on loader that will load normal EBOOT files yet.
Hello 2.0 World released
Hello World v1 for PSP v2.0
(w) 24/09/2005 by Groepaz/Hitmen
http://www.hitmen-console.org
greets to Skylark, Niacin, Skywalker, xor37h, Tyranid
this is a simple example on how to use the C compiler from pspsdk for creating
a binary that works with the exploit/loader released by someone else the other day.
its VERY basic, some C features will not work, C++ most definetly wont. you will need
to call syscalls directly (not via kernel stubs/NIDs). your program can be max 64k big."
Also, you will have to restart your PSP to make this go away, the thread is not killed when exiting the Photo area on the PSP.

Cool, just tested it successfully on my Euro 2.0.
Works, looks like thats most of the hard work done, now somebody needs to add a launcher/shell and homebrew on 2.0 is a reality

Probably what they will try to do is write a firmware dumper to dump a decrypted 2.0 firmware to the memory stick.. and then look for other holes that are easier to exploit. That would be my guess, I wonder how long it will take them now hehe.

So about the PSP being unable to access GAF thing... is there anything that can possibly be done about it? Does the problem lie in PSP, or the site?

Nice. I'm looking forward to a fresh, 2.0 version of the sticky when homebrew finally works.

The problem is that everybody's been smart enough to keep 1.50 for homebrew and they don't care :lolHitokage said:

I'm with Dark on this one.
As long as you bought the game (and I'd imagine GAF understands the concept of developer support the most), than you can make/do/edit whatever you want as long as it's for personal use. Legally by the book or not, that's my belief.
Although, not everyone is like the majority that constitue GAF. And therefore, Sony will release another patch update without a doubt. If an individual can 'home-brew' afy a console/handheld without extraneous purchases/hardware modifications (see modchip, soldering) it because a -real- mainstream problem. Sony does not want the PSP to be like the Dreamcast, where homebrew/piracy is as easy as click, download, and play.

So now I can play Earthbound and read the latest Mother 3 news on the same PSP? :O

And even i am moderately surprised
because it's really annoying and , although it's a decent football game, i can't bear to play it because it's not what it should be...
i know that is wanky to the extreme..
let me put it a different way :
if WE9 PSP was FIFA PSP , i'd happily play it because, hey, this isn't as bad as the usual crap.
however, it's not -it's WE9... and it just isn't WE. And because of that it drives me nuts...
(plus i sold it back at a minimum loss)
theoretically, yes, i could play it again. But i've not felt the urge. Gyakuten is owning my mobile time.
Although Chelsea and Juventus are TOO good IMO...first 2.0 homebrew game is out
