The All-Seeing Eye is watching you...

Following research in conjunction with Archaemic, Noobz are proud to present
the first ever all-firmware exploit for the PSP.  Based on Lumines, the 
"Illuminati" exploit is a user-mode exploit using a buffer overflow in the 
savedata file - similar to the GTA exploit.

That's right - if you've got a legal UMD copy of Lumines, then you can run 
homebrew on your PSP - whatever the firmware version.  That includes v3.50! 
Right now, the only homebrew is the Hello World demo released below - but 
in future we intend to release a HEN and downgrader.

To make the exploit work:

    * Check that you have an EU or US version of Lumines (ULES00043 or 
      ULUS10002).  Currently we don't have a version for the Japanese
      version, but we're working on it, as soon as we get hold of a
      Japanese UMD. 
    * Extract the contents of the 'MS_ROOT' folder from the ZIP file 
      into the top-level of your memory stick. (HINT: If you wind up 
      with an 'MS_ROOT' folder on the stick, you've done it wrong).
    * Start the game, and as soon as it gets to the 'Press START' screen, 
      press START.  If you wait until the demo has started, the exploit 
      may not work.
    * The screen should go blank, and the exploit will start after a few 
      moments.  It doesn't do anything except look pretty at this stage 
      - but feel free to enjoy the first homebrew on your v3.10 - v3.50 
      PSP! ;)
