Half Byte Loader R99 Released

Just when you thought things would cool down for a while, it fires up again. In the wake of last weeks release of the ports to 6.3X, just released R99 of the , or as most call it. This release, thanks to coder , boasts some major improvements, including the ability to run emulators at full speed & resolving the issues with exiting using the PSP Home button.

Here are a few notes from Wololo:

First, the dreaded “sceCtrlPeekBufferPositive” (the function that basically makes emulators run at full speed) should now be available on all models of PSP. Remember, it wasn’t correctly working on PSP 1000/2000/3000 on 6.20. Although there are still a few differences in the quality of syscall estimations for these models on this specific firmware, this major function is now working on all models, and you should all be able to enjoy full speed on your favorite emulators.

This version also fixes most issues with the PSP HOME button, thanks to a patch by Nymphaea. It finally allows to run HBL from the memstick on a pspgo, and should fix the issue with controls introduced in R97.

I haven’t fully tested this release, but it’s been tested by a few people already, so I believe it’s good to go. For those who ask, R98 was released a few hours ago, but had a bug that prevented it to work correctly on a 6.20 PSPGo.

A HUGE thanks to all the devs working on the HBL project: Wololo, JJS, m0skit0, and everyone else who is working hard to bring us this great project.

NOTE: This version of the HBL is for the Patapon 2 exploit!

  • N1ghTWar10r

    hey emulators work better though sweet. thanks wololo

  • googleplex42

    Is this update beneficial to psp3k 6.20? Cause the last major update made emulators run at full speed on the go, and psp 3k 6.1 and under.
    And I was disappointing when i figured out it was not applicable to 6.20 on psp 3k.
    I’d love to play Mario 64 fullspeed on my green MGS psp 3k :D

  • Jtotheb1

    Good job guys i dnt wanna sound like im rushing u guys but i could really use a iso/cso loader by the time Birth by sleep releases i really wanna play but other than that amazing job keep up the good work ;3

    • ultimakillz

      then just buy the game and play it. you dont need an iso loader for that!

      • Jtotheb1

        Ok ultimakillz lets think about this for a second hmmmmm if i get the buy the game then its bye bye exploit and i dnt want that ._.

      • timboy67678

        ^^ this

  • lcohen448

    does this update work with the pspgo 6.30?

  • cluzex

    this is great…… but i wish hbl advance more. what i mean is run cso, iso…

  • lcohen448

    does this work with pspgo 6.31?

    • samirpc

      No. please go to the Everybodys Golf SDK Exploit that runs HBL. You’ll find it on the homepage.

  • samirpc

    Awesome news. Keep updating us. But I just wanna ask a question so if you can answer please reply. If someone made a .TIFF picture viewer in HBL would that run the ChickHEN thing. Im guessing it won’t. This HBL Rev 99 might have the power to run something like a CFW Enabler or ChickHEN enabler. And an ISO or CSO enabler is a great idea Cluzex

    • hacktester

      I have a question for you.Are you a robot,which is supposed to ask stupid questions like ,,Might this turn into a CFW Enabler or a HEN?”.Or maybe youre just joking?…
      Its not the first time when you ask this kind of questions,and its not the first time when someone responds to you saying ,,NO!”.For the sake of PSP Slim Hacks,please guys,abtain to ask things like those.With all you doing all this stuff,PSP Slim Hacks becomed something like a…flaming site,or so.

      • samirpc

        I have a question for you. Are you a really advanced tech geek who knows heaps about PSP’s. I think you are and thats fine. But what I don’t get is how I am not that smart about PSP’s and you say I’m asking “”these”" types of questions. BTW this is my first question and I am new to the PSP Hacking Community so please have a bit of respect for people how are just not as smart as you. I didn’t know you were going to say NO. You did cause your a hacktester.

      • hacktester

        My bad.But Im sure I saw you some mounths ago :-? I am pissed off the most when people ask poor questions because they do not read the description.Its not about experience.I learned what do I know now by trying diffrent hacks and by reading the description.And I find stupid the fact that people say that they are noobs when they dont even read the description.Its like going to school and say ,,I didnt do my homework.”,,Why?” ,,Because I wasnt smart enough to look in the book.And because Im a noob…”
        So lets see,who did something wrong?
        Is it the very first time when you hear about HBL,or you were here when older revisions like R97 appeared?

    • timboy67678

      …….

  • Fasih

    cool… gotube works yet?

  • noobhacker101

    A bit off topic here but is there any inside news from the pspgen people, are they working on something new yet or did they just give up on us pspusers?????
    Coz i haven’t heard them working on any thing since there attempt on cfw 6.xx… which wasn’t a success…

    • hacktester

      Davee has a kernel exploit and a HEN,but I dont know anything from the GEN team.When Davee’s exploit will be accidentally patchet by Sony,he will release it.

      • noobhacker101

        We will just have to hope for the best… What ever happened to Noobz and Team C+D i know Dark-Alex Retired from the psp scene but the rest? all just disappeared with the all time legend “Dark-Alex”. Sure we have great coders out there like wololo, jjs etc but they are more focused on hbl than actual cfw. Sure hbl is great but when will we be able to run homebrew from the xmb again and play it online…

  • hiroyasu

    does anyone know if cspsp latest version will ever work on hbl? i know cspsp 1.56 works and a low end cspsp source does. just wondering, cuz id like to try out online play :p, also there isin’t an spPSP kai that goes back to menu yet? anyways ty wololo and the team keep up the good work, except some minor bugs and such it’s awesome.

    • hacktester

      Gpspkai 3.4 test 3 build 152 is returning to the wmenu(and mostly to the XMB too).About cspsp,older revisions require kernel acces,which HBL will never have.But who knows,maybe if someone will be nice enough will port cspsp to HBL :) I know this is possible because someone did ported a homebrew game which required kernel acces to HBL(he ported Halo Dungeons to HBL,calling it Halo 3D).

      • hacktester

        Sorry,I meant latest,not older :D

  • hiroyasu

    oh ok welll thanks for the replay defenetly gonna test that kai, and well see about cspsp, maybe when it becomes a demand.

  • hiroyasu

    srry for double post could you provide a link can’t seem to find it

    • hacktester

    • hacktester

  • lcohen448

    can someone help me install to hbl for my psp 6.31? I have hello world running, but im stuck.

    please someone out there

    thanks guys

    • hacktester

      At the moment,you can use HBL only with the Japanse version of the game.But porting HBL to FW 6.3X is wololo’s first priority,so be sure that as soon as possible the HBL devs will release it.Remember,they have personal life too,so they cant work on HBL every day.
