Half Byte Loader for 6.30/6.31 Released

A second chance for those who’ve upgraded to the latest official firmware; J416 releases his Half Byte Loader port for firmware 6.30 and 6.31.

The game? Who guessed (before Aug 24) “Minna no golf” or “Hot Shots Golf?” And the winner is: kaitoudark1! Only one person, wow… Congratulations. If you’re reading this, please email admin @ dashhacks with a dot com and confirm the email address used when leaving the comment.

Now back to HBL — here is the current hack status summary for the variations of said game:

  • Minna no golf portable (JP UMD): Exploitable, runs HBL (J416’s port)
  • Minna no golf portable 2 (JP UMD): Exploitable, Hello World by Mamosuke
  • Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee (US UMD): Exploitable, Hello World by wololo
  • Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 (US UMD): probably exploitable
  • Everybody’s golf (EU UMD): probably exploitable
  • Eveybody’s golf 2 (EU UMD): probably exploitable
  • PSN Versions of all the above: probably exploitable, untested.

You know Sony’s going to act fast. So stay tuned as we’ll keep you updated on the untested, but probably exploitable, games. And whatever you do: DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR PSP FIRMWARE; not if you want to stay fully homebrewed and hacked.

Update: As of writing this Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee is available on PSN for $9.99; I just took the hit for you — I downloaded it, transferred it to my PSPgo (running 6.20) and tried Wololo’s “Hello World” proof-of-concept, which is a good indication of whether or not HBL can be adapted to this particular title and save data hack.

The result: my PSPgo crashes. All systems go.

Now that doesn’t necessarily mean Sony has patched it; it just means this crafted save game doesn’t work, as-is, with the PSN version (or the PSPgo at 6.20). That said — it’s up to you whether or not you buy it off PSN. We’ll keep you posted as things develop.

Update: Scratch all that in my previous update… Wololo just sent word — the Hello World POF was missing a file — the PSN (US) version of Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee is indeed exploitable. I reckon you grab it, like now.

Download: HBL for 6.3X (includes SAVEDATA, sources, etc)
