It seems that the Illuminati exploit doesn't work properly if your PSP is set to non-English settings. At a guess, it's something to do with unicode when displaying the profile name.
Anyway, if you are having problems, especially with the European Lumines, then try switching your PSP to 'English' settings.
One other note - Lumines sales on Amazon.com have gone up over 14,000% since yesterday!

| guys just be patient, the downgrader will come out when it comes out. honestly, it's taken this long for a big breakthrough, a little bit longer ain't gonna kill us hehe. |

said:
DJB is right, off course everyone wants to downgrade as soon as possible and with the fewest possible effort. But Noobz team is is doing everything to serve our needs, don't get pushy. ps.Thanks Noobz! you rock. Hope Sony is not considering to put a 200.000$ reward on your heads  |

| Yesterday bought LUMINES for ???15 at my local game shop. i'm Dutch but i already had my language settings to English (i don't like the Dutch language). I already run custom firmware myself, but i tink i can make a lot of people happy with helping with their downgrade when it released (just like i dit with de 3.03 exploit). It???s great to see the helloworld-screen running on a 3.10 psp. NOOBZ you guys rule, keep up the good work . |

said:
Tried it on my 3.40 OE-A and worked like a charm! Cant wait for the downgrader! Thanks N00bz team  |

| when will come the downgrader ???? please can someone write about it a comment ???? please??? |
JaXeRiR
said:
| This exploit which allows the HelloWorld to run is also on few other games such as Twisted Metal: Head-On, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Everybody's Golf and World Tour Soccer just to mention a few. The exploit is that the save file's overview (PARAM.SFO) doesn't include any binary data so the save can't be recognized as "corrupted data" by the PSP system. But hey, good job Noobz for inventing how this bug can be used! |
Dodo
said:
| Big Thanx! You Noobz Guys rock! |

said:
| Then, is possible that discovered the exploit won't be able to do a downgrader? |
maverick601
said:
| anyone knows how they (noobz) speacks? That is...trought waht? May be they can write here or on their site about the possibility of a downgrader? Because it's not so sure... |

| will this work with the korean umd or the japanese umd .. ??? |
Kevin
said:
| purple_goat, to my knowledge, homebrew isn't piracy, letalone people saying it. Nice one guys, i think its great that you do these things to bring homebrew to as many people as possible, without getting paid and having the satasfaction after, and for that i respect you deeply. Again, thanks alot. |

One person says they think you can't run binary (how the hell does Hello World run then idiot!!) and you believe them over N00bz who gives you the proof! You don't deserve the downgrader... Go donate as pennance... |

said:
| I think that everyone is jumping the gun here. I know that the mention of an "All FW affected HEN" get all of your panties wet. But this exploit is nothing more than a parlor trick. I don't want to bust your bubble, but, there absolutely will not be a new downgrader developed out of this. DO NOT PURCHASE LUMINES WITH HOPES OF A DOWNGRADER!!!!! DUMMIES |
noobzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!
said:
| is this a downgrader if not when do the downgrade come |
astrocreep2000
said:
You will not get a new downgrader. Sorry. Hey, look on the bright side If you went out and bought LUMINES, then you got what you paid for, a highly addictive puzzle game that will keep you occuppied for hours upon hours. That is if you are smart enough for puzzle games  |

| I have v3.40, will it work, too. Or is it better to update to 3.50 and then downgrade? |

CAN U MAKE A DOWNGRADE FOR THE OFFICIAL V3.5 WITHOUT THE GAME (JUST FIND OUT HOW THE LUMINES CAN DOWNGRADE V3.5.THEN MAKE THE DOWNGRADE  |
BorgmanAlpha
said:
| Will this trick work with the Japanese 3.50 firmware as I have a Japanese Ceramic White PSP... BTW, great work guys! |
Jo?o Francisco
said:
| Noobz downgrades are great... but the prblem is that the newer downgrades need rare umds to make the HEN exploit. I think the Noobz Team could try to develop a downgrade that is cappable to do the HEN exploit with official demos like for example Rodge Racer2. Help Me to spread the idea!!!!!!!!!!! |

| does the u.s greatest hits lumines fork for the downgrade 3.50-1.50 or something like that |
Korean Dude
said:
| Hey thank's for working so hard N00bz you guy's rock! I mean, literally, i already downgraded from v2.7 but holy cow you even got a 3.50 downgrader! Sweet! Btw thank's again for making it possible for other user's like me able to well play game's! And no its not illegal to rip a umd, its illegal to pass em around, and sell them, not illegal to make an ARCHIVAL back up COPY which is supported by the law. |
Brutal force
said:
| These guys are unreal...arnt they just. Im on 3.52 firmware so i guess im doomed for long time. Will they ever be a d/grader for 3/52 or am i better off selling this one, go to game or gamestation in uk and get a pre own and ask to look at it first...and cheeckly check the fw version? OR if anyone out there can do 3.52 id put ??40 up...if anyone has magic wand. |
