CFW 3.50 OE already 5% complete

The moment PlayStation Portable Firmware 3.50 was released in North America, various homebrew developers claimed that they had already decrypted it without the help of Team C+D.

However, Mathieulh commented that the community should beware as Sony implemented various changes in the prx formats. After being quiet for some time, new updates regarding the decryption progress as well as that of the next custom firmware have emerged.

Accordingly, Mathieulh and Dark AleX are indeed working on CFW 3.50 OE and the project is already 5% complete. Reports mentioned that the two started working on it only yesterday just after DAX's school exams.

The following information was lifted from PSP-Gen's update with Mathieulh. The original French text was run through a web translator, so what follows might be a bit hard to understand:

The innovations are very simple, the 3.50 OE will allocate quite simply the use of the kernel 3.50. New demonstrations now require this firmware, various plays will not delay before being provided with the kernel 3.50 obligatory. In light, no large innovation, if it is not the passage to the 3.50.

Check back here at QJ.NET for future developments about CFW 3.50 OE. We promise to update you as soon as something develops.

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://www.cashcrate.com/192904 you will sign up for a website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.
Companies such as ebay pay cashcrate to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, cashcrate simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,
I have made 472$ in April, 412$ in May, and 271$ (SO FAR) in June. You get paid in real checks from "KINGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,
but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)

JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.
Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.
Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"
There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.

I doubt that the article meant to put emphasis on the "5%".

Felt like it meant to say "Work on 3.5OE has begun".

Can't say I'm waiting for it, since it's just for compatibility with new demos and stuff.

I am also still at 3.03 OE-C. Wanna know why?
1. Had it the longest
2. Fully customised my XMB. Dont want to convert and re-apply my themes
3. Have lots of custom prx's that launch my homebrew! 3.40 OE-A doesnt have the Certificate Utility so thats one less icon for me...

prejudiced towards gays.

Re: Jin (Unregistered) - 2007-06-21

» ...

Wow man, I guess I can use one of your three attempts at making a point.

1. Had it the longest
...Who cares? LOL. That was the *****tiest point ever, that's whY i said "I was curious" and not "you're gay for not updating?" or whatever you made it out to seem.

2. Fully customised my XMB. Dont want to convert and re-apply my themes
So don't? There's like 80 packs of 3.40 themes out there, so this point does not even matter, and I'm surprised you even said this.

3. Have lots of custom prx's that launch my homebrew! 3.40 OE-A doesnt have the Certificate Utility so thats one less icon for me...
This may be the only worth while one, but if you check forums (Not specifically these ones) you'll find that anything 3.03 has... 3.40 has.

..."Because I had it the longest." Lmao.

» so basically...

They are just sticking the 3.50 kernal into a custom firmware. Nothing new really. hmmm. Might stick with my 3.40 for a bit then. I don't need an remote connectivity or ps3 stuff seeing as how the ps3 costs as much as a high schooler's car.

Re: ZXQ (Unregistered) - 2007-06-20

» What happened to....

So, what happened to the Video Out feature that was discovered in the functions listing in the Kernel?

Re: mohaas05 (Unregistered) - 2007-06-20

» what?

first of all its not that simple. you have to work with the new prx layout and decrypt them. Also when have you seen a $600 car? A car that cheap is a piece of 5hit. And for ZXQ there was no video out feature discovered in the kernel. Just an icon image discovered in one of the .rco files.

Re: manaox2 (Unregistered) - 2007-06-21

» Hows a $500 1994 toyota tercal?

Being sold next door right before I typed my messageto high schoolers all over the US. I live in the USA. Yes, it IS a POS as you say. That is why it is a high schooler's car. Get it?

I know its not that simple. I was just talking about feature wise, not that they would be making a combination custom firmware. Now that I know that 333 mhz will be unlocked, I will definately want that feature for future games so that I don't have to use homebrew.

» Translation

Decent translation:

The changes are simple, 3.50 OE will make only simple use of the new firmware's kernel. New software will require the firmware, and it will not be long before various games come with a 3.50 firmware requirement. All in all, not much change, other than the new 3.50 firmware.

Re: Bored (Unregistered) - 2007-06-20

» True

But still, it's interesting to hackers in that the prx format has been changed. So it actually would mean a big advancement for homebrew if they succeed in making the 3.50 OE a reality, even on the surface we users don't realise it.

» hmm?

hmmm i dont think 3.50oe is that useful unless you got a ps3...

by Korlithiel - 2007-06-20

» Looking forward to this

Even if there are few new features it may fix some PS game issues and even better then that I get to try a new demo!

Seriously though, I'm glad this may be out before summer quarter for me starts since I chose to take a full load of credits to make up for my slacking the last two quarters.

With all the 3.40 customization I've done, I'd be difficult moving into this...
well lets say they would have to decrypt again all the rcos to get the own firmware rcos customizated,
also with all the freaking vshmain.prx editings, (icons positions, colors...) or the common_gui (for the infobar...)
or those wicked plugins like the random icons and the flashless custom xmb thing...
I think this update is worthy only of people who wants to play new games... I love my xmb as IS... not going to do a complete reflash... :D

» sorry,I needed attention

Don't take me wrong, here's my life story because my myspace chrashed when I got my second friend after tom.

I'm just a 1337 uber hackor and I spent countless hours of my pathetic life already trying to make my xmb to look good to impress the other cashiers at the piggely wiggely.

This one girl awed in amazement and said you must get laid alot. I think she was trying to pick me up but she walked away giggling while I'll deciding on the theme that I have now(I'm sure I would got in her panties with this one fellas)

As you can plainly see with all my tech speek that I'm well aquainted with homebrew but don' see the need for people releasing new firmware because it an inconvience for me. especialy after I spent the grand total of 0 hours actualy contributing jack squat to the scene. Who needs games,demo or anything else? It's the icons that activate those useless fuctions that make the psp scene, Silly Spaniards
