Hello World for 2.01/2.5 PSPs has now been released by Fanjita. Using Edison Carter's GTA cheat machine, Fanjita has successfully found a way to load custom code on firmwares 2.XX of the PSP, through a savegame exploit/glitch in GTA.

This program he has compiled successfully demonstrates how to run the Hello World homebrew application on 2.01/2.5 PSPs (which prooves external code launching on 2.XX). In the future, expect things such as an EBOOT loader and more soon!

Quoted by Fanjita, "This Hello World demonstrates the proof of concept that this can be used to run applications, and provides an easier platform for other people to work with - not to mention, a platform for me to get the EBOOT loader working on top of."

To download Hello World, click here.

Note that you will need a copy of GTA: LCS in order for you to run this hack! So go out and buy your copy today (heh, Sony should be seeing a lot of profits).

For installation steps, check out the readme.

Big ups to Fanjita on this hack, and extended credits to Jim Paris, psp123, EdisonCarter, abu, toc2rta, groepaz and bitmap1 for their contributions. Great job! Thanks to pspupdates for the news.

Fanjita you the man. Expect sony to release firmware version 2.61 that will patch this expliot. If you haven't got a psp yet get one now else you could miss out on homebrew. sonicbionic.net or yesasia.com have cheap psp's.

Future games may have a similar expliot in them. And i predict sales of GTA LCS to shoot up again.

Well what kind of program is this? I'd like to know!

This is currently a "hello world" demonstration. Basically shows proof of concept, and external code launching from a 2.XX PSP. Only a few days or so till we get some EBOOT launchers coming!

They'd better find a way to get it running on v2.6 after butterballer kept telling everyone to upgrade because there was no extra security.
