GungHo on its new PSOne import initiative

December 12th, 2012, 01:49 Posted By: wraggster

Last week, GungHo Online Entertainment America joined the ranks of PSOne Imports publishers with a bumper crop of six Japanese games, all available on the PlayStation Store for $5.99 each. Since it's so rare – an initiative only taken to heart by MonkeyPaw Games in the past, and one that requires extensive licensing work for a potentially niche product – I asked Gungho president and CEO Jun Iwasaki about the company's plans.

"We are hoping to bring over as many PSOne Classics as possible," Iwasaki, who previously ran XSEED, told me, "but oftentimes these releases require license deals." He explained that the somewhat unusual collection of games, ranging from shooter collection Zanac X Zanac to dekotora board game Art Camion Sugorokuden, wasn't curated according to some unifying theme. "We were able to secure the licenses for these particular PSOne Classics, so we went ahead and released them first.

"So far, Zanac x Zanac seems to be getting the most attention out of the six titles," Iwasaki added.

Sony to fund FuturLab PlayStation Vita projects

December 12th, 2012, 01:25 Posted By: wraggster

Brighton studio bankrolled by Sony, keeps own IP
Sony is to fund PlayStation Vita content from Brighton's FuturLab game company, the team behind PS Mini title Velocity.
While the platform holder pays for development the studio will keep control of the intellectual property - a deal that FuturLab MD James Marsden described as "the perfect deal".
"FuturLab has a unique and fun approach to entertainment and we see their games as being a fantastic addition to the ever growing catalogue of PS Vita games," offered Shahid Ahmad, senior business development director at Sony Europe.
Other titles from the studio include Surge, Fuel Tiracas and Beats Slider, all for PlayStation Mobile.

'Oban', 'Kryptos' and 'Thebes' - the latest PS4 and Xbox 720 rumours

December 12th, 2012, 00:41 Posted By: wraggster

The safe money is on both Sony and Microsoft announcing their next-gen consoles next year, so expect the rumour mill to intensify from this point onwards.
VG247 has rounded up the latest batch of rumours that suggest new codenames for the mysterious hardware duo.
New reports have reaffirmed previous claims that Microsoft’s console will run on an AMD chip going under the codename of ‘Oban’ that was scheduled to go into mass production at the end of this year. However, component quality concerns have reportedly lead to a delay to the schedule.
It also adds that the current codename for the hardware is ‘Kryptos’, replacing the previously rumoured ‘Durango’.
Indeed, it’s not the first time we’ve heard of Xbox 720 production worries, with a report in September claiming that Oban yields were “worse than painfully low” and a possible delay from the then rumoured September 2013 launch.
As for PS4, its internal codename is said to be ‘Thebes’ with AMD also providing the key components. Global Foundries or IBM are set to become the likely manufacturer, with a release supposedly set for 2014.
However, MCV is lead to believe that both PS4 and Xbox 720 are now squarely on track for a 2013 launch. And one of the pair could even be revealed before E3 in July.

Fate of Bioshock Vita game 'in the hands of business people'

December 10th, 2012, 22:20 Posted By: wraggster

New, less promising, info on the Playstation Vita Bioshock game last mentioned back in April has come about.
Irrational Games head honcho Ken Levine tells IGN that the game remains something he's interested in, but its fate is currently out of his hands.
“That is in the hands of business people right now. It's something I'm still interested in, and people ask me that all the time,” Levine said.
“Right now I'm just sort of waiting to see what the business people come up with, and that's sort of out of my hands at this point. That's something that I think has a lot of potential. The game idea we have has a lot of potential. It's just a question of [if] their stars all align.”
The title was originally revealed at E3 2011, where Levine explained the Vita offering would be a new game, and not just a port. It was brought up again earlier this year, when Levine revealed the effort had been put on the back burner until development for Bioshock Infinite had concluded.
The third fully entry in 2K's franchise is currently slated to launch on March 26th of next year for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

The Last of Us gets May 2013 release date

December 10th, 2012, 22:11 Posted By: wraggster

Sony has at last dated upcoming PS3 exclusive The Last of Us.
As confirmed at the end of the game’s VGA trailer, the adventure title will be with us on May 7^th. Being a Tuesday, that’s likely a US launch date with a possible European release on May 10^th.
The game, developed by Crash Bandicoot and Uncharted creators Naughty Dog, was described upon its unveiling one year ago as “a genre-defining experience that blends survival and action elements to tell a character driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague”.
It takes place amidst an abandoned city (or cities) where survivors are killing one another for supplies, weapons or even food.
It has two protagonists – “ruthless survivor” Joel and female teenager Ellie.

Playstation Controller Runs Syrian Rebel Tank

December 10th, 2012, 21:57 Posted By: wraggster

As Syria's rebels work to overthrow the tank-equipped Assad regime, they've learned that it helps to have tanks of their own. They deserve bonus points for integrating video game technology. This is no exaggeration. Have a look at the opposition forces' "100 percent made in Syria" armored vehicle, the Sham II. Named for ancient Syria and assembled out of spare parts over the course of a month, the Sham II is sort of rough around the edges, but it's got impressive guts. It rides on the chassis of an old diesel car and is fully encased in light steel that's rusted from the elements. Five cameras are mounted around the tanks outside, and there's a machine gun mounted on a turning turret. Inside, it kind of looks like a man cave. A couple of flat screen TVs are mounted on opposite walls. The driver sits in front of one, controlling the vehicle with a steering wheel, and the gunner sits at the other, aiming the machine gun with a Playstation controller

no$psx 1.0

December 10th, 2012, 16:50 Posted By: wraggster

via http://emu-russia.net/en/

Downloads
no$psx v1.0 Windows 32bit version (ca. 469 Kbytes, 03 Dec 2012)

The Emulation should be complete with all hardware features fully implemented and working, though as by now it's tested with only a dozen of games, so there may be still some problems with other games (bug reports are welcome).
The BIOS is emulated via a BIOS-clone, which is free and faster than the original PSX-BIOS. There may be still some compatibilty issues (especially as most PSX games are applying patches the to original BIOS; the BIOS clone is reproducing known patches, but may fail on unknown ones). In case of problems, it may be recommended to use a copy of the original BIOS (with filename PSX-BIOS.ROM in no$psx folder).
CDROMs are supported via complete disk images (in .NRG or .CUE+BIN format), via single-track images (.ISO files), or as raw executables (.EXE files). Reading from real CDROM drives is also supported, but does require wnaspi32.dll (which appears to be a problem on WinNT and higher).
Requirements are 1-2GHz, which is maybe not so fast (other PSX emulators are said to be working at 200MHz). CPU emulation is currently done on the fly (I might get that faster by using pre-compiled code in future versions). Rendering is done by software (I could maybe improve speed by adding dual core processor support) (another way would be using hardware acceleration, but my experiences are that this stuff isn't too pixel accurate, if it's working at all).
Debugging/Development functions include disassembler, debugger, breakpoints, assembler, I/O map viewer, VRAM viewer, polygon viewer, TTY console window, and complete PSX hardware specs.

How PS1 security works.

December 10th, 2012, 16:31 Posted By: wraggster

via http://wololo.net/2012/12/10/how-ps1-security-works/

With all the exploit related news and the upcoming ecfw by frostegater, we barely see articles that have nothing to do with the vita, so lets take a step away for brief moment from the psp scene and learn how the copy protection and different security measures on the ps1 worked.


In this article I will explain how the ps1 security works, so you can understand the methods used back then to bypass it’s security and why those methods don’t work today.



Original security measure: disc region

First, we must know that the ps1 had region locks, which means a legit bought game from the US won’t work on a EU console. The next thing you should know is that the region lock and the antipiracy check is one and the same, for older models that is (but we’ll get to that later).



Legit Ps1 games had a marked zone at the beginning of the disc that contained the region information, this information had the letters SCEx, where x was the region of the disc:

- A for america (SCEA)

- E for europe (SCEE)

- I for japan (SCEI)

- W for Net Yarozee (SCEW)



Imagine you have a european console, this console will have the mark SCEE in it’s BIOS, when you insert an american disk the console will read SCEA on the disc, SCEE != SCEA so the system would refuse to boot.

Similarly a burned disc does not have any mark on it because conventional CD drives can’t read that portion of the disc, so the system will also refuse to boot that.

So for a european console, there is no difference between a legit american disc and a burned disc. None of them match what the system wants so the system won’t boot it.

Modchips got around this by injecting the string the system is looking for into the stream, letting the system think the disc does have the string in it and then accepting to boot it.

This is for older models of course, newer models (the PSone) have a second check for the region, so a modchip that worked on the fat model will partially work on the newer system.

New security measure: boot text

The modchip, like I said, will inject that string into the system, letting the system think it’s legit, but then the system will perform a second check, this check is done to the executable file itself.

You may be familiar with this screen:

Believe it or not the “Licensed by Sony Computer Entertainment America SCEA TM” text is not found on the system itself, but rather on the disc. That’s right, the system reads this text from the disc and put it on the boot logo, which lead people to create custom boot screens.

This text was not checked by older fat ps1s but then sony added the text into the newer psone bios, so this time it does check for it. This time, even when the modchip makes the system think it’s a legit game, the simple fact that the boot text is different makes the system reject the disc. This is of course for imports or games with custom text.

There were two methods to bypass this, the first was using a disc called import player. This disc used an “exploit”, which is nothing more than taking advantage of the system’s ability to play multi-disc games. When you play a game such as Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy VII, at some point they will prompt you to change discs. When you change the discs, the system does not enter the boot screen, so the boot text check is not done. The import player took advantage of this, by simply prompting you to change the discs as any of these games do, then the modchip does the first check bypass and since the system doesn’t enter the boot scree, it doesn’t check the boot text.

The second method is a lot more permanent, it’s the same method as injecting a custom boot, only this time you inject the correct boot text into the cd, allowing you to directly boot the disc.

Another new Security Measure: modchip detection

Another measure that was implemented was the detection of modchips. This measure required new hardware so it only available in psone models and on top of that it wasn’t performed by the system but the game, so the code had to be implemented into the game itself, meaning older games would not be able to use the new feature.

The way a modchip was detected is quite simple, the game would keep asking for the CD’s code (SCEx as we saw above), if there is a modchip in the system it will continually inject such string, while if there is no modchip then no string is injected and thus the game would continue.

Bypassing this protection could be done using the import player (which has an anti-modcip detection patch) or by patching the game’s iso before burning. Both do the same basically.

PS1/one Hacking Methods

These various ways to hack the PS1, but each method got patched along the way, except one method that was never patched (swapping) and another method that was patched but got continuous new releases (modchips).

AR Method:
This method consisted in inserting an Action Replay “cartridge” in the system’s Parallel Port. This “cartridge” (if we can call it that) bypassed the method used by the system (the SCEx method). This was patched by Sony simply removing the Parallel I/O Port. Some games have anti-AR security measures which can be defeated using Import Player in the same way as defeating the already mentioned Anti-Modchip security.

Swap Trick:
This method took advantage of the system’s disc read error tolerance policy, this means that when the ps1 can’t read a disc it keeps retrying until a decent amount of time. This is why it takes time for the ps1 to “detect” a burned game or why scratched games can take longer to load. The method consisted of tricking the system into thinking the disc cover is always closed, even when it isn’t, allowing you to swap an original disc with a burned one. This trick is performed differently in the slim and fat models due to the new boot text security, but it’s overall doable in any ps1 console, the only problem I can think of with this method is that it wears out the motor.

Modchips
Modchips are usually the best method to hack a ps1. They are permanent, games can be booted directly and if installed correctly they don’t have to break the system. I already explained how modchips work, they simply inject what the system wants into the stream, making the system think the disc inserted is a legit game. Different models came out but if you are looking for one that is compatible with all ps1 consoles (fat and slim) then the MultiMode 3 is your bet, although it doesn’t break the PSone boot text security and it’s not a stealth chip (it can be detected by game that have the anti-modchip protection). If you are looking for a good PSone chip then the ONEChip is the one you need, it bypasses all PSone protections, including the anti-modchip one.

Let’s do a recap of the different copy-protections that the ps1 and psone have.

PS1:
- The standard region protection (the SCEx thing).
- The Anti-AR protection.
PSone:
- The standard region protection (the SCEx thing).
- The anti custom boot text protection.
- The anti-modchip protection

Well, now that you know how the Ps1 copy-protection worked, you can go back to the psp scene to wait for frostegater’s ecfw.

Frostegater gets his new Vita, eCFW for 2.01 coming soon

December 9th, 2012, 23:06 Posted By: wraggster

via http://wololo.net/2012/12/09/frosteg...1-coming-soon/

Frostegater has finally gotten enough donations to get a new Vita. In a message to The Z (here), he has announced that he will be releasing the game this month.

If you have been following the scene lately you should know that Frostegater is in possession of a Kernel Exploit inside the PSP emulator on the Vita. As usual it will first undergo a ninja release so that trusted members get enough time to purchase the game from the Playstation store.

The files for the exploit will be released a few days after the game is announced publicly. As usual when the release happens we’ll ask you to not speak about this publicly and to not spam on the forums asking for information.

Last time, we found lots of leaks on different sites which might have wasted the exploit (it did for Mad Blocker Alpha, which was removed from the PSN before we made any public announcement). We request that you DO NOT do this. By leaking the name of the game, you are just ruining it for everyone.

Open CMA 5 (Compatible with all 2.00+ firmwares)

December 9th, 2012, 23:04 Posted By: wraggster

via http://wololo.net/2012/12/07/release...-00-firmwares/

Open CMA has finally been fixed to work on the new firmwares.



After the recently released 2.00 and 2.01 firmware updates for the PlayStation Vita, Open CMA versions 4.5 and below no longer worked due to Sony’s new changes. However, now a new version, Open CMA 5, has been made by Virtuous Flame to work with the newest Vita firmwares. It’s recommend you download and use it, if you are on firmwares higher than 1.81. Open CMA 5 will only work on 2.00 and higher, so if you are on firmwares 1.81 and below continue and/or use my existing Open CMA 4.5 version. You can find the download for Open CMA 5 below with a description of what Open CMA is for those of you who need clarification or are new.

What is Open CMA?

Open CMA is the content manager assistant to copy files to the Vita. Open CMA is the same as the official Sony version but modified, so that you can copy files without any internet connection unlike the official Sony CMA which requires a constant internet connection to the Sony Servers, something that can be inconvenient It will also not sneak a patch or do a forced firmware update on your device if one comes out and it will not send any data to Sony or their servers about whats being copied, edited, and transferred. Open CMA also does not collect data regarding crashes.

In General it:

1. Allows offline transfers on either PC or Vita.
2. Allows lower firmwares to transfer. (Open CMA 5 works on 2.00+ Only)
3. Disallows the sending of information to Sony.
4. No contact to Sony’s servers.
5. Open CMA prevents CMA from auto updates or mandatory updates.
6. It also allows you to transfer anything black listed, it doesn’t check their servers to confirm if its on the PSN.
7. Lets you copy Homebrew, ISO/CSO to use with an exploit with less errors.



How to Install VF’s Open CMA 5

1. Download the latest verision of the Official CMA

2. Apply VF”s Open CMA 5 patch in the same folder as the official one

3. Run .bat and then setdll.exe

eCFW TN-C running on firmware 2.01

December 9th, 2012, 23:02 Posted By: wraggster

The_Z shows us some more work from Frostegater, who is in possession of a PS Kernel exploit and was able to port Total_Noob’s CEF (a PSP custom firmware running in the PSP emulator of the Vita.

The video shows the Vita running an iso of K-On, as well as PSP Filer, and gPSP, the GameBoy advance emulator.

For some of you this is old news (we already mentioned Frostegater has a PSP Kernel exploit), and I’m sure we’ll see a share of complaints in the form of “if you show it, release it”, but hey, this shows that a PSP CFW inside of the Vita on the latest firmware is still possible, and hope is good, I guess.

VHBL Running on Vita 2.01

December 9th, 2012, 23:01 Posted By: wraggster

This will not come as a big surprise for those of you who know how these things work, but it’s always nice to have a confirmation: VHBL still runs fine on Vita’s firmware 2.01, and The Z proves it to us with a video.

The video showcases Frostegater’s latest port of VHBL to an unknown usermode exploit in a PSP Game. On the video we can see VHBL running Zelda on Masterboy (Game boy and master system emulator), Wagic (Collectible card game), and PSPFiler (File manager for the PSP).

This is most likely the same version that was running a few days ago on 2.0, as we can safely assume Sony did not patch any undisclosed vulnerability with 2.01. There is still no word on a release yet, and it is still unclear if Frostegater will focus on a VHBL release or work on his own port of Total_Noob’s CEF, since he seems to also be in possession of a PSP Kernel exploit. As a reminder for those who just joined us, we had a PSP Kernel exploit available up to 1.81, but that got patched in 2.0. At this point we still have lots of usermode exploits that should allow fairly easily to port VHBL (which gives us access to limited PSP homebrew compatibility), but PSP kernel exploits are a treat which is much more difficult to find.
