Yes guys, I'm not kidding! Remember when I said that the newest firmware required some magic on the part of Team C+D? Well, I guess it didn't take them very long to finish their work. And in this case, it was another fine piece of work- You can call it the Firmware 3.10 decrypter by the way!

So now that we have the firmware decrypted, on Day 0 no less(!), the main focus now shifts to guys like Dark_AleX, Mathieulh, Booster and the Noobz team who will be responsible for turning this firmware on its head in a few days. Great things are coming, you just wait! Anyways, here's their info in its full glory:

C+D NFO - Image 1


With that out of the way, we can now patiently wait for things like Devhook, a new custom firmware by Dark_AleX and if someone can find and exploit in the firmware, even a downgrader! OK, so the downgrader part is speculation, but I don't think you guys will have to wait long for a new version of Devhook or DAX's CFW.

Anyway, I'll stop talking now. The file has been uploaded and it also contains the source. Start decrypting your firmwares and get ready!

 » maybe but just a thought

by blocking homebrew with new updates sony is keeping up the game sales and and at the same time allowing us a way to hack the psp and downgrade to use homebrew? this way people with unhackable psp firmwares need to buy the games till their version is hacked. think about it....why would this firmware be so quickly decrypted? does sony really have such bad coders? or do they finally realize that hombrew is such a big part of the psp success that they don't make it impossible (insanely hard, nothing is impossible) to hack the firmware they just make it hard.

 » hahahah! Can you imagine the looks on Sony's faces?

I wish I could see the SCE peoples faces- priceless. I do kind of feel sorry for their devs. Though. They can't seem to do anything right!

Dear Qj,

We here at SCEJ HQ realized that in order to increase the sales of PSP, we need to enable "Unsigned code" function. Yet we couldn't make it too obvious.

We are currently finalizing our next project to give unsigned coder more blending environment with our original codes. So hopefully with stronger "so-called" co-operation from us with unsigned coders, our psp sales will increase.

Your download link dosen't seem to work because we can't download the 3.10 decrypter. We just dropped by to say hello so we don't intend to register.

Yours sincerely,
On behalf of Sony Programming Division

 » How smart is SONY

I'm sure that sony isn't as dumb as we think.We buy a psp after we see our firends have one.We get one then go looking on how to make it do different thing.We do thanks to Dark_AleX, Mathieulh, Booster and the Noobz team.ETC... Then we show or firend what Monster of a handheld The Mod GodZ have given us.But This is where sony steps back in and says thank you for the money.Because all my firends have them.In fact everbody that has seen my PSP has a PSP now.

just my 2c

 » Amazing!

This is great! The world of homebrew is getting more impressive every day! Wow...if this doesn't convince Sony to open up their thinking and accept homebrew, nothing (or very little, at least) will. Don't get me wrong; I like Sony, I just wish they'd be more open-minded and stop making decisions that hurt themselves. Anyway, amazing job! I look forward to 3.10 Special Edition...or Open Edition...or Super-De-Duper Edition...whatever it will be called...A!

 » well...

i think it's stupid how some of these guys act like little children saying "sony got PWNED!!1!!11!"
my 12 year old brothers say that.
if sony wanted to, they would make it to where there was no XMB at all and you would no longer be able to do anything unless a UMD was entered. remember the gameboy? yeah similar to that. sony goes through all this trouble giving you updates after updates so you don't go into your psp and end up bricking it and you diss them? retarded. that's like when you get a car, and they've upgraded the seatbelts and so you cut them off and yell "Chevy, you got PWNED!". they're just trying to save you, so you're not crying to mommy and daddy cause you bricked your psp cause you're a "h4xz0r"
i'm all for homebrew, but don't make it to where sony puts your asses in check. by the way, Great Job Team C+D.

 » Quick question

have got the 3.03 OE-C running fine, and have made a couple of customizations writing to the flash, gameboot, coldboot sound, fonts, backgrounds, xmb icons etc... and am now wondering is it still safe to upgrade to the much anticipated 3.10 OE when released?

will the customizations still be there? or will they get flashed again during the upgrade?

thanks in advance

 » God Bless

God Bless Team C&D, Dark_AleX, Fanjita and all the other hard working devs. I remember a time when everyone thought the homebrew scene on PSP was dead - before the exploit in 2.71. Look how far we have come!

 » Game Protection

Still dont understand why the game developers havn't included some sort of protection into their own hands and put more protection on the games themselves.

I know it wouldn't cut us of for long, but it'd keep us on our feet.

Owell, im happy anyway lol

do you think guys that sony will maintain the new good games till they make sure that their console will not be hacked anymore ?

just wondering ^.^

   by W00fer (Unregistered) - 2007-01-31
 » Lal

Why would you have to have a downgrader ?
No PSP in the WORLD will have factory packed 3.10 at this moment.

Only stupid people who accidentally flash their PSP to this new fw would need a downgrader.

Devhook isn't necessary because no game requires it.

Well, Sony DOES have these guys to thank for me buying the psp over the DS. I bought it to take advantage of Homebrew it offers...
