Phantasy Star Portable savedata exploit - Console Spot Forums

**Psyko** · 03-27-2009, 12:18 AM

Developer wololo, put up a guide to show how you can find exploits in save games.
In the guide, he says that "yyoossk" found an exploit in Phantasy Star Portable.
Yet, this has just caused the PSP to crash.
Wololo says that this is probably just a crash and will never turn in to an exploit.

While attempting to exploit the game, he successfully made the PSP crash using the same method that was used to find the GripShift exploit.

[...] When someone comes with a potential exploit, you can be sure some serious guys will give it a try if it’s worth it. If after a few weeks there is no “serious” discussion on the issue (involving code or “proof of concept”files), you should lower your hopes.

Yet, this is not an exploit. I misunderstood QJ.net.
But a crash is always the beginning to something.
This time, maybe not. But who knows?

As stated on QJ.net, "only time will tell".

@Psyko: you understood this in so many wrong ways that I had to register to reply.

1) I did not ask "yyoossk" to find an exploit in Phantasy Star Portable, He found it by himself, and I just came across his explanations on various forums.

2) This might be an exploit very similar to the GripShift one. No, no, and No. To quote my article:

This is an article to help you recognize an exploitable vulnerability (e.g MaTiAz’s Gripshift) from a non exploitable (or at least, not easily enough) crash (e.g. yyoossk’s Phantasy star).

This is what happens when "news" websites keep on quoting other news sources rather than the original article. QJ got their info from the original source, that's why their article is much more close to the real thing than what you said.

Original article here

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy you wrote a news about this, but with such biased articles I'm gonna get all the noobs of the planet on my ass asking me why I haven't a Phantasy Star downgrader ready yet.
So, again, I never said it was a potential exploit, I said the EXACT opposite

glad to see someone's attempting to hack the 3000, still. Looks like Sony took out DaX, now...

I'd take a small exploit with a low probability of hacking the 3000 over nothing

lol sorry. But this is the downside with writing news at midnight. lol
I have now updated. Is it still much incorrect? In that case this thread will be closed.

btw.. QJ.net said that they used a similar way to find the exploit. Is that wrong or correct then?

i played phantasy star portable via memory stick. i played for 2 straight hours. after playing i tried to access memory stick on computer but pc didn't detect the memory stick? i tried formatting memory stick on psp but it said that there is no memory stick inserted?

is my memory stick busted?

btw, am using a Sony 4GB MS Pro Duo, im not sure if this is genuine or fake..
