Do you believe in magic? 3.00 / 3.01 Firmware Dumper and Decrypter

sony

Well as the title implies, within a ridiculously short time from from Sony's 3.00 Firmware release we were welcomed by 3.01 Firmware. Naturally everyone assumed that this was a small patch. Paired releases were somewhat common in the past, so it only made sense that they left a little hole that needed immediate patching. Really now Sony, is homebrew worth constantly wasting energy on this type of blockade?

Noobz must have our collective backs as they have whipped out a firmware dumper and decrypter for BOTH the new 3.00 and 3.01 PSP Firmwares. This handy application that was released only moments ago enables dumping of "all known firmware update PSARs" by a modified version of PSPPet's PSARDumper.

This amazing feat, achieved only a day after 3.01 was released, and two days after 3.00 hit the streets homebrew enthusiasts have to wonder, "Is Sony still trying...?". Now we have gained access to the new firmware files, one could guess that an updated version of Devhook supporting 3.00 / 3.01 Firmware emulation could be in our near future.

Re: Kevin (Unregistered) - 2006-11-23

» there was

there was an emulator for 2.80 its just that its still in its beta, dark alex said it in his interview

Re: Pape (Unregistered) - 2006-11-23

» ok so...

so how do u get this thing to work? lol

Re: Eraser (Unregistered) - 2006-11-23

» Why not?

IMO, the reason why 2.80 was decrypted, but never emulated is because Sony was probably waiting to see wether the hackers are going to crack 2.8 or not... I don't think 3.00 has so much better protection than 2.80 but then again, I don't know too much about that stuff so I'm not the one to judge...
Let's wait and keep our fingers crossed for the emulation...

oh wow, can't wait to see where this leads. Lets hope for a hopebrew friendly 3.01 with psx support. Its these kinds of discoveries that is keeping the psp scene alive and well. Good job to all that contributed!!!!

by Someone (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Hopefully Devhook can progress now?

Now that 3.0 and 3.01 has been released hopefully Devhook can now catch up.

It just goes to show, Sony knew about 2.80+ being devhooked in beta stages, and didn't bother to change anything, so now we know Sony don't care about emulation can't we get up to date?

Re: Scott (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Sony does care

Sony just changed the file system from flash 0 so they DO care it was "going to take ages to emu frimware 3.0/3.01"

will this mean that there would be a new devhook?

Re: impatient - 2006-11-22

» sort of

There already was one in progress (2.80), now it might have 3.00/3.01 too, or if not so the following version probably will

Re: lava sofa (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» well

if booster is still arround maby i didnt see a devhook for 2.8 or anything i think hes packed up and left earth mabe a decent downgrader or even homebrew on 3.0 who knows

Re: BigFatMan (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» New name?

Booster is gone, that's for sure. After I read about how he received a nasty "cease and decist" (spelling, who cares) from Sony, he disappeared. However, knowing hackers, he's still here and very much at work under a new name. That's just my theory. Also, does anybody remember when some dev was developing a PS1 emulator and suddenly stopped and said they were working with a PSP company and there were big surprises ahead? I hate seeing hackers sell out.

Re: Jin (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Kid above me, wrong.

He's still around. Didn't you read the comments with Dark Alex about Booster?

by Dude (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Cool

LOL Sony probably went through so much to secure this, but with in 24 hours both their new firmwares are hacked. Stop trying Sony! Homebrew will always prevail.

but not the war with every other fw.

Re: Djhg2000 (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» @ gamemaster130

Answer inaccurate; Sony got pwnd serveral times when it comes to 1.51 + 1.52.
First by MPH, then by SXT, then by Booster.
These where also the FWs that where easily bypassed when it comes to the FW required to play a game.
In shorter words, Sony got bent over :D

by jbcseawolves (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

this means were one step closer hopefully there will be a new devhook in the next few days

Re: Kleptoone (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Devhook

I will take a lot onger than a few days till a devhooked 3.0/1 shows up. If it were that easy then we'd all be running 2.80 dh already.

Re: Saf100792 (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Actually

2.80 and 2.81 were decrypted but booster never mad a devhook DUH

by GW2 (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Sony isnt trying anymore for good reason

if someone gets homebrew on 3.00 without making custom FW then TA-082 users can enjoy homebrew which would increase psp sales again (maybe not by much but still) thats my theory.

Re: lava sofa (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» .

i compleyly agree with you sony probobly just wants to sell more psps and i think they just may but i think we can do better thatn devhooking and staying on 1.5 i think if we try hard enough we can get emus and homebrew to run as pa1 games and eliminater the need for a downgrader or a dev hook or even a hack exploit of course this means someone will need to mod the snes emu to work on it seeing as they broke up

Re: Scott (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Theory

My theory is that sony sees the psp homebrew scene and wants more people to join it so they secretly have been leaving bugs open for more BIG news so the boards go overide and more people see about homebrew getting into games and such and telling and showing there friends and they buy psps cuase they can play mario on it and they just looove mario then they tell there friends and keeps going round the world. This also helps sony becuse all of the nintendo ( There competetor ) ROMs are and emus are realeased. And for there own ps1 there release a emu of there ps1 and will make a small bug in 3.0/3.01, and theat is my theory.

what does a 3.00 / 3.01 Dumper and Decrypter do if you have a 3.00 psp

Re: psp1 (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» nothing!

it means we soon be able to probably emulate 3.0 and 3.1 on our 1.5, and it also means your a dumb ass for upgrading..lol

this is awesome soon i will be able to play psx games on meh psp, cuz i got a ps3 just a few hours ago. YES this is my lucky day.

Screw devhook!!! I want 3.0SE!!!!! lol, btu it could hapen......

Re: impatient - 2006-11-22

» I partially agree

Yeah, 3.01SE would rock, though devhook is good too

Re: yusky03 (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» maybe not so much

the 2.71 se almost took all of the memory in the flash we might not beable to do this even if it was possible

Re: gamemaster130 (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Mem. stick

maybe (since it would be a custom FW) that Dark_Alex could put sum of the features on the Mem. stick...then we could customize ur PSP's feature how we want...so like if u don't have a PS3 yet, u could remove the remote play feature...then wen u do get a PS3....u could put it on

Re: not_registered (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Mem stick is just same as devhook

To everyone saying that theres not enough room in flash so you should just put the firmware on memstick should realise thats exactly what devhook is. Instead of running the firmware off flash, its running off the memstick.

by Catch this! (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Dark_Alex

Even though this would be neat to emulate,
it would be alot better if dark alex managed
to create a Firmware 3.00 S-EB" :D .

But yea, Can't wait to see 3.00
Homebrew style!

Great work Noobz

Re: Cheater912 (not logged in) (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» No

Not enough room in the flash :-(

Re: MasterQ - 2006-11-22

» Yes

maybe theres not enough room in the flash for what 2.71SE put in there, but who said it can't be made any smaller?

Re: PotFarmer (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» hmm

probly be forced to give up some features for that .... like the network update! wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (probly not enuf tho...) id be happy with a devhook tho anyways

Re: Dude (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Theory

It ma be possible to split the firmware into modules. Therefore, the custom firmware would load the "PS1 Emulation Module" or something similar to that.

Re: Swifta (Unregistered) - 2006-11-23

» .

It IS possible for you to put the files on the memstick, and have some stuff in flash0 to boot off the memstick, but it would be too risky trying to figure out what and how we could do it (we could probably build a house with all the bricks).

Re: darkninja (Unregistered) - 2006-11-23

» flash space

it can be done if they make a dummy update plugin XD

Re: td (Unregistered) - 2006-11-23

» ...

remember, if u devhook it, the flash space will basically be memory stick space. so you can have more than a 30mb dump on ur memcard.

by Zodionic (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Devhook

I must point out that although this means that devhook emulation is possable, it dosnt mean instant progresion, 2.80 still cannot be fully emulated, there is still alot of random lockups on the Beta 0.50, and it dosnt have iso support, also its possabel sony went to extra lenghts with this firmware to protect it from being emulated, so we will just have to wait and see what booster and dark alex can cook up.

Re: Scott (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Dark Alex Said..

Dark alex said that the only reason that they couldnt get 2.80/81/82 to work with devhook is becuse something with ISO loading and with ISO's

by jeikae (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22

» Please say

I hope booster was waiting to sneak up on 3.0 or something. Is there a source out for devhook. If 3.0 gets devhooked, then I a will be overlyjoyed with the future of my psp.

They would make so much more money if they just let us run our own crap on the psp without all the stupid security. Especially when it only takes 24hrs to break after release.
