[Xionzz]

thanks mattey..
btw i wanna ask..
i`m in 5.03 GEN-B..
and i wanna play my old games..
that`s Worms 2 Open Warfare...
but everytime i try to run it,it`ll back to XMB..
and said The Game Could Not Be Started..
i already changed my UMD ISO Mode to m33 driver,Sony Np9660,and etc..
it doesn`t work too..
maybe this out off topic..

Make your own topic, this one discusses how ChickHEN came to be, silly boy.

firstly forget about try/catch handling, its more basic error handling....
yes the above statement is pretty close to the truth, the save game exploit DOES inject its own code if i remember correctly, havn't they made a hello world app for that exploit? and the tiff exploit is chickhen again.
the error handling has FAILED, and the psp waiting for input.... the psp error handling isnt that good really, but if it detects something it'll reboot/shutdown ur psp... but when it doesnt, the cfw is not running fully or has crashed, or is in error mode whatever, it allows you to bypass the security checks...

I think you understand better than you think my friend, exploits as you may know will differ depending on what type they are, for example the tiff files are not pictures there images of data in chickhen, but with the savegame exploit, u need an altered savegame. both of these will get the cfw to run the part of its own code that causes a crash or malfunction, allowing them to then load the files. but with the savedata one, the user has to do it from the xmb, instead of letting chickhen do all the work....

I'm sorry but i cannot give you too much information beyond this point, like i was saying b4, i dnt consider myself a hacker, nor a wannabe hacker (even worst!) but if u keep asking questions I'll answer as far as I can, but really GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND!

Thanks for the info.. i'm really looking forward to know more about this.. i'd like to share and hopefully influence the concept of teaching a lot of potential developers how stuff came to be ( like chickHen, now i know thanks ).. i mean in a really, really in-depth manner. and in result it'll increase the chances of someone creating something useful and something better for our community Thanks ( not sure how to give an equivalent karma anymore LOL )

well if u wanna do that get on a forum that has developers, or at least active ones, I think I'm one of the few on the forum that can code 4 psp (mods/admins excluded) I wont name names of forums, and dnt leave here. this is because other forums arn't always open with people they dnt know, and can be blunt and insensitive. not a major problem, but thats the main reason i stay here.... o and thanks is our reputation, see at the end of each post u wanna thank me for...

@xionzz I will not help u unless u ask properly - more info needed and do not hijack a thread, i was enjoying talking about exploits, its not a normal thread topic XD

[3001]

this is because other forums arn't always open with people they dnt know, and can be blunt and insensitive.

Yeah i get that part.. Sometimes people who are capable of elite complex techie stuff tend to forget their social graces

anyways, i'll take ur advice and visit the net to find a dev forum. (although ima stay loyal here lol) hopefully one where people aren't blunt and insensitive thanks! will it be alright to post somewhere here in the forums of my findings ( if ever that happens lol ) like if i found some very vital info about exploits or whatever that's helpful or interesting ( of course it's psp related ) i could just share it here? if no, that's cool wit me but if yes where in the forums can i post it?

well you're right google is my friend cuz i found psp3000hacks but found out that the forums there and here are the same eventually psh became more active than p3h (during the time of davee announcing that he was just about to create chickHen ). now p3h's no more right? anyways thanks again.. if i come across something i'll be sure to ask here.. thanks mattyey

yea some forums are ok, but they tolerate total n00bs less... endless paragon is a good one.

as for posting info, if you wrote it, post away, if not then post a link to where it came from so not to steal credit. the forum at psp3000hacks was basically the same as this forum, is was run by our admin anyways...

please do stay loyal, and also you can still as more questions here, but as like i said there aren't many devs we will be slow to answer on that topic, but I could always get u started (SDK and making hello world eboot) thats easy stuff....

[3001]

but I could always get u started (SDK and making hello world eboot) thats easy stuff....

that would be great.. i'm also gonna start researching on that.. i would appreciate it if you could show me the fundamentals - like what file extensions are used and how to create them. basics really im really gonna be serious bout this .. do i have to get other SDK's apart from what i already have? (just standard)

[mattyyey]

I'll make a new thread for you with a few links and some info, you'll have to give me a while to write it out....

EDIT:done it, its abit quick it covers he basics enjoy

read the guide and it was exactly what i was looking for... hmm.. since this is all new to me.. i read the part wherein you need a lua player.. so it runs scripts. i have a psp 3k.. any chance that let's say i might screw up, will it lead to a brick? or is the worst case just a freeze and a cold reboot? .. or does it depend on what i am doing.. any tips you could give for coding that would reel me away from winning a brick? thanks a lot m8..

[mattyyey]

the first thing u wanna get is an exit!!! lol in lua i dnt think its too much of a problem if it crashes the script (just hopefully not lua too)... now with a full sdk you can reference the "premade" exit commands so to speak. that would be the first thing to look into once the hello world is done. there is documentation on it, cnt remember if its in the module tutorial or the readmes/help files but it does say which to use (just not how to use lmao) at some point... I'm sure you'll find it if u read enough. then its just really a case of building an interface/menu system to run the commands u wanna do... really not sure what u plan on making...

what i can say is that with lua you might get lucky and it not crash too much when your codes wrong or flawed, but with the sdk and making your own, you have no fall back, only the exit and recovery code/librarys you make/reference. but saying that I'm sure u understand the need for error handling in apps

does that help at all? probs not enough but hay i swayed away from programming the psp, it annoyed me so. I moved into themes instead... so i really dnt know a whole lot, just enough to make my todo list/calender app XD (which isnt for public so dnt ask, some reminders are built into the eboot)

GOOOD LUCK!
