Team N00bz join Sparta Exploit Team
Team N00bz have joined forces with FreePlay and MaTiAz (The guys that brought us the Grip shift hack on the PSP-3000). Joining up with them they plan to further expand the exploit found and the way forward for homebrew games & Emulators on the PSP-3000 / TA-088v3.
Here’s what Team N00bz have said about this:
The exploit already includes an SDK to allow porting of homebrew by devs, but that’s cumbersome. Our initial focus will be to make it easier to run standard homebrew via this exploit, by adapting eloader to it. This will be restricted purely to user-mode homebrew, since there is currently no public kernel-mode exploit that could be used here, and compatibility is likely to be patchy due to the security measures in the later firmwares which make determining all the syscalls almost impossible. Still, you can expect that at least some emulators and other popular pure user-mode homebrew will run.
Beyond that, if anyone finds a usable route to kernel-mode then a HEN and downgrader ought to be doable, but we’re not focussing on that at this time.
So good news for PSP-3000 & TA-088v3 owners, but still no full user mode to flash custom firmware!
