Alek: PS Store blocking CFWs is rumor - Image 1There seems to be a rumor going around that FW 5.0 blocks PSPs with custom firmwares from accessing the PlayStation Store. Alek, Dark AleX's webmaster, squashes this out as just rumor. Says Alek on Sceners:

There are some rumors around the net, that newest psp fw, 5.00, will block the access to PSStore to non-original firmwares.


It will be interesting to clarify that this is just a rumor, and it's most probably a fake information.


You'd might remember times where someone said that 3.00ofw was going to be THE firmware, unhackable, etc etc.


Well, atm, using the future systemctrl.prx for 5.00 cfw, it doesn't even blocks the partial cfw made by now, so from here it's interesting to confirm that you shouldn't believe on rumors. So, PSStore won't be a problem with future cfw's.


So there you have it. Alek seems pretty confident that the current and any future FW update won't be a problem for firmwares. And I don't think anyone will doubt that Dark AleX and Team M33 can handle whatever Sony throws their way. Their track record alone is proof of it.

 » ETA for 5.00 M33?

anyone have any inside info on expected time of arrival for the 5.0 m33 update? I'm still on 3.80 m33-3 because there was no real reason to upgrade till now. I think the full screen KB is worth the hassle.

I don't understand why people don't upgrade to newer CFWs. Then again there is the argument "never change a winning team" but if a newer FWs has the same stability and more features, this argument is not valid, I think. The other argument I heard from is Popstation versions. Well, I never had any problems with any games from PSone, all worked fine for me.

i'm not trying to argue with you, just want to stating my opinion on this matter.

i stayed on 3.52 M33-4 for so long, then when 3.90 M33-3 came out i made the very difficult decision to upgrade. then i was like it works exactly the same and now i upgrade every new release. 4.01 M33-2

I can download crap for my PSP on the PS3, even through remote play so I don't care about the new firmware at all.....

ok

a bit premature i feel

anyway sure, PSN wont stop ps3 from being hacked, but it will make it more difficult

anything that the psstore tries to do to clarify if its a cfw, a false response can always be sent back

however it requires the community to keep up with any progresses to the store, for example one month the store might check a certain thing, and then the next month it might get upadted and check for anyother thing, this would probably require a update to cfw, things to be checked could be changed remotely and be held in the server side, making it a bit more difficult

but sure, when it comes to computer there is always a way around a problem

Atleast M33 are making the CFW

"it doesn't even blocks the partial cfw made by now"

WELL DONE M33!

I'm happy you love M33.

But if, "WELL DONE M33," was about the PSStore being blocked, they really didn't do anything to get around it since there is nothing to get around.
