If I copy h.bin to MP_ROOT, will it work? I have tried copying it to F:/ and tried more than 50 times, no joy.

I think not because its just a readme (HOWTO’s) the main hack is within the code itself – within the h.bin file. Anyone knows how to open h.bin? – maybe i’ll try a HEX editor – my thing is just to take a peek on the codes.

Hey guys, I just d/l the exploit to my psp 2001 (ta88v3) and I used the slim photo. I’ll list the installation steps, ok?

1. Place the h.bin into the MSROOT (or x:\ drive).

2. *Place the phat.tiff (if you have the thicker PSP) or slim.tiff (if you have the thinner PSP) into the x:\PSP\PHOTO area.

3. If you have a theme activated, I had read on dl.qj.net to *disable this theme. However since I only possess the Slim type, I know it works for slims.

4. Go into the photo on the XMB and click onto the photo. It will use either the photo or turn black then automatically shut down.

5. Reboot after the shutdown process is complete and enter the photo menu. The screen will go black then it will reboot with these words in this format exactly:

“Hello World for PSP Firmware 5.03
Running via The Easter Eggsploit. :>

Exploit by MaTiAz

Thanks to malloxis, FreePlay, Archaemic, wololo,
Cloudy, Davee and everyone else who was involved.

Also hi Sony ”

After you see this message, since the exploit is only for showing, you need to reboot your PSP through hardboot. Don’t go into the photo folder again though or the message above will occur again (unless you wish to see it again, which I don’t know why people would after the first boot but…). Anyways, I got mine up on the 1st try so, it might work that way. Good luck guys.

It could work I think. I just can’t get the exact timings to invoke it. But after I browsed photo folder for at least 10 sec my unit freezes for at least another 5 sec and then screen goes blank, I hear a sound (like a croak! sound) then the power went off. I tried this for at least 15 times … I think that the exploit is too fast and I cannot see the flash of Hello World exploit …

I just dumped the slim.tiff to the root memory of my PSP 3000 OFW 5.02 then I dumped 8 copies of photos (jpeg) in \PSP\PHOTO. Disconnect USB and then browse the photo directory. I scrolled ups and down then my PSP 3000 unit went died (went off)

I thought I bricked it but not (hey I believe in you MatiaZ) I powered it on then I’m back again. I guess I’ll give it another try until I got the flash of the exploit.

Yodda man MAtiaz and including all the PSP God Smackerz. Thanks guys! really appreciate your work. I can’t wait until tuesday.
