Remember last weeks big news item? Freeplay’s video of the PSP Go displaying Hello World? This was achieved through an undiscovered save game data exploit. The exploit that uses an “unknown” Games save data to exploit the system and enable user mode kernels to run. Well its been confirmed legitimate and has been tested by MaGiXien of PSPGen. MaGiXien is the Frenchman behind the GEN Custom Firmwares and PSPGen.com so we can take it from him its 100% legit. Not that I doubted FreePlay, but some of you did.
So to those our there that were still non believers, it is safe to say that. It is real, it works on not only the PSP Go, but all PSP systems and on all current PSP Firmwares.
MaXiGieN testing FreePlay's save game data Exploit on the PSP Go
MaGiXien has also reiterated, that this hack or exploit doesn’t allow the use of a homebrew enabler aka HEN to load any kind of temporary custom firmware on the PSP Go. I’m hopping that it will at least lead to some type of eloader.A way to loading homebrew games, applications and emulators.
So now that MaGiXien has a copy of FreePlay’s Hello World PSP Save game exploit, does this mean were likely to a release some time soon…? That’s unknown but we think FreePlay has given specific instructions to PSPGen to try it and test it. Prove its not fake. But not to use it or release it. Hmmm Perhaps FreePlay is waiting for a time to release his save data hack? Maybe when Sony discovers it and releases Firmware 6.20?
