HALF BYTE LOADER
What is HB Loader?
HB Loader is an open project to build an easy to port user-mode homebrew loader for game exploits.
Does this allow me to downgrade?
No, will never be.
Does whis allow full HEN/CFW?
No, will never be.
Does this allow kernel access?
No, will never be.
Does this load ISO/CSO?
No, doubt will ever be.
Does this allow me to use emulators?
Some emulators work, others don't, but we are trying to improve the compatibility
Then what homebrews do work?
We're having tests for this here: http://advancedpsp.tk/foro_es/viewforum.php?f=41 Feel free to participate
Is this useful for a normal PSP user?
Some users already enjoy it, but the work is not finished yet.
How can I install this?
- You need the Patapon 2 Demo: http://rapidshare.com/files/376959863/patapon2.zip. Put it on the PSP.
- You also need a hacked savegame, which exploits the game: http://rapidshare.com/files/384686116/U ... DATA02.zip. Put it on the PSP. Try and make sure the demo works, the savegame shows and it's loadable.
- You can download compiled binaries here: http://code.google.com/p/valentine-hbl/downloads/list, here: http://advancedpsp.tk/foro_es/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=311, and also here: http://wololo.net/wagic/hbl/
Alternatively (and better), you can compile HBL. For this, you need to have setup the PSPSDK (svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk) and retreive the HBL source code by using this svn command: svn checkout http://valentine-hbl.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ valentine-hbl-read-only. Then go to the eLoader directory and make it. - How to setup HBL on your MS:
- Copy h.bin to MS root.
- Create a folder on MS root called HBL
- Copy on HBL folder the folders libs_5xx, libs_6xx and config
- Copy on HBL folder the files hbl.bin and menu.bin
- Place your homebrews as normal, i.e. on ms0:/PSP/GAME
- Trigger the exploit: run Patapon 2 demo, load the savegame, press R when you get to the game

Hope you enjoy this waiting for a real CFW. Feel free to comment and ask anything you want
IMPORTANT: this is still BETA work. This means it doesn't run a lot of homebrews and also it can fail a lot.
