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.

 » Dont Get Your Hopes Up

I was reading on another forum about this new dump and apparently the 3.0/3.01 firmware is totally different and doesn't use the Flash0 like the other versions.

3.0 won't be emulated for a LOOOONG time.

Sony should give this up sometime!!

open your system for homebrew, and the PSP will sell like mad!!
and let the people fight against piracy themself,
you won't stop anybody by locking up your firmwares..

 » A load of bull

I don't want to spoil the fun, but this is exactly the same as has been done when 3.00 came out. With DA's psar dumper you could also dump the firmware files... But you couldn't decrypt them!! This program also can't decrupt the files, and the new filesystem on flash0 also hasn't been cracked.. so actually this is nothing new and were are still a LONG way from dh3.01 or a new special firmware with 3.00 prx workin in it..
But it is nice to see everybody is working on this.

Don't believe everything wich is written, try decrypting the prx files yourself and find out that: "hey, this program doesn't decrypt.. it only dumps the files.." f*cking NoObs around here

   Re: Fanjita - 2006-11-23
 » tum te tum

Perhaps you didn't read the onscreen instructions, which are unchanged from previous PSARDumper versions.

Press one key for an encrypted dump (for use with devhook). Press another key for a decrypted dump.

If this can't decrypt, then how do I have decrypted data sitting on my memory stick?

 » !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omg! o well too bad booster is playing a NDS instead of updating devhook.

3.01SE is kinda impossible because 2.71SE already takes up most of the flash, and it is smaller than 3.01.



   Re: Dark_Alex (Unregistered) - 2006-11-23
 » Wrong.

In reality the prx set used from fw 1.5 could be compressed to make space for other more essential files required in 3.0 - In addition, some features are not necessary and will not be included in any new Custom firmware releases. Someone mentioned modular, this is possible though, would need to ensure flash0 file system is accurately mapped.

Updates are to come. Keep your eyes open.

 » Cool

Firmware 1,5 is still the best at the moment, but Firmware 3,00 or 3,01 with Devhook would be cool. Or an E-Loader or a downgrader for 3,00 :-) I think in near future, we will be able to play PS1 games without a PS3 connection. Thanks in advance to all coders and hackers :-)

   Re: ... (Unregistered) - 2006-11-23
 » ...

Why would sony release another firmware update? 3.01 has not been HACKED, only decrypted. Same with 2.81 and 2.82, they were decrypted but not hacked (as of now).
   by Abdullah Rathur (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22
 » Most likely NO 3.00 emulation

I hate to break it to you guys, but there will probably never be a Devhook to emulate firmwares 2.80 and above. I don't think anyone will make it. I'm sure though that Dark_Alex will do something big like a custom firmware or something else.

Hey dipface, you have no grounds on which to stand to say there will not be emulation/downgrade/homebrew. AND, you dont know what D_A is doing, thinking or masturbating to, so GTFO!
   by Bob (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22
 » This is why PSX games are only through the PS3

The PS3 can check the PSP's firmware to see if it's a legit firmware. They knew someone would find a way, and now someone has, they can do the proper PS3less release on a more secure firmware which won't be emulated or customised for a long, long time. Probably long enough to get some people to switch back to official firmware and upgrade.

now what we need is devhook or 3.00-SE and a way to use ps1 games without the ps3... that will be awsome!

   by Annonymous Coward (Unregistered) - 2006-11-22
 » People updated to 3.0

Now that it has been decrypted,1.5 users or those on firmwares that can be downgraded have more options. This proves yet again that one should never updated to the point of no return. All of those who updated so quickly for the 3.0 should have waited.

u should team up with dark alex to syncronize the 3.0/3.01 new flash0 format and made a buffer to blend into older fw version like 1.5 - 2.71/2.80.

Unless u r a fake booster here!

let's say you run a company developing applications and sell them, then pirates stole them and distribute them. wouldn't you do something about it to stop the pirates? if your answer is yes, aren't you just slapping yourself with what you have said? if you say no, i'll bet you'll go bankrupt very soon
