2.80 Decrypter Released! *Update*

Posted Sep 7, 2006 at 8:51AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Firmware, Hacks & Exploits, Homebrew Applications, Homebrew Development Tags: Dark-AleX, DevHook, emulation, memory stick, Sony
Ó


2.80 Decrypter ReleaesdMathieulh stopped by our forums to tell us that a new version of psardumper (modded by Dark_Alex to dump 2.80 files) is available. Dark_Alex modded psardumper for 2.80 which was originally created/coded by psppet. This psardumper will dump reboot.bin and other necessary 2.80 files for devhook emulation!

This is quite some exciting news as it has been quite some time since 2.80 has been released and many have been anxiously awaiting this day. The only thing that remains for us to wait on is an update to devhook that will allow us to emulate 2.80! So, now that we have the files extracted/dumped, it is only a matter of time before we are emulating this precious firmware on our 1.50 firmware with devhook!

To install, extract the data.psar (we suggest using PBP Unpacker) and place it in the root of your memory stick (data.psar). After this is done, make sure you have the decrypter/dumper file in the correct folder (PSP/Game) and execute it on your PSP. The program will then dump/decrypt the necessary files onto your memory stick. This program is legal, however the files dumped using it are protected under copyright laws - so do not distribute them!

UPDATE: As you all might have probably heard, 2.81 is out today. Bad news? Nah. Because we've just found out that the 2.80 decrypter works on 2.81. What good does that do for us? Well it could only mean that Sony's newest baby may soon be emulated via DevHook!

since you already have the decrypted files, why not just use the fw installer like in previous versions, or the same method as 2.71 since we had to get this decrypted crap then too

i dont think that VCS will need 2.81, 2.80 maybe, cause 2.81 will probably be just to correct the exploit, and remember, there is no game that requires 1.51 :)

all that news about booster and devhook was blown way out of proportion. Anyway, Dark_AleX is one step closer to psp homebrew god (if he isn't there already) although he should have waited for the next sony FW release so we could dump that too. If Sony actually had Booster in any legal problems you would hear about it.

by cubiCPixel - 2006-09-06 14:50
» Sweet :D

I guess we will all be able to use more common programs to export our videos like Adobe Premiere and others (thanks to the new codecs found in 2.80).



Other than that, they also fixed some issues concerning the Flash Player in the web browser for larger .swf files. Should proove somewhat usefull...



Thanks you to everyone out there making 1.50 as up to date as possible.



PS: Everyone, go and download the "guimod v3_3" ... the best mod for devhook up to me. It comes with a USB host to execute your ISO's straight off of your PC easialy and a understandable menu to use ... noobs or not its worth it!

» Is this to emulate 2.8 on 1.5 machines?

I'm confused about the two things going on right now. Does this mean people with 2.8 are getting one step closer to being able to emulate the way 1.5 machines do? Or does this mean people with 1.5 machines are one step closer to being able to emulate 2.8?



I have a native FW2.6 mixed with the IC1003 so I'm dying here. 0okm looks like he's close though. Im hoping the new working eLoader 0.98 will be able run a devhook that will run on 2.6.

@5 - It's really annoying that people cant see that a lot of the homebrew scene is about cracking new security measures. 2.8 users deserve to run homebrew. Chances are they aren't too terribly affected, because if they cared that much about homebrew, they wouldn't have updated.



Please stop making totally worthless and rude comments and try having some fun.

If you don't care, then dont *****ing post here.



And, if you want to emulate 2.8, then you're sorta gonna need the decrypted 2.8 firmware files. In other words, if you care about emulation, then you should care about this...

No... This will allow EMULATION of firmware 2.8/2.81. This meens that u can hav 1.5 and still play games that require 2.8 firmware. And if u want to play homebrew again... u go back to 1.5 with a full reboot (like devhook)

» How does it works????

After i extract the file, there are 3 folders. How do i put them into my PSP Folder to make them work cos i can't seems to understand the way they explained it.



Can anyone provide me with a clearer details on how to make the decrypter works and what this decrypter actually does to your PSP??



By the way, this works on FW 2.8 or other FM version??





Thanks so much!!!

Okay.



Read the damn article people. This has nothing to do with downgrading. It has nothing to do with anyone that has a 2.8



Saying that this brings us one step closer to a 2.8 downgrader, is like saying that finding a house key on the ground has brought you that much closer to owning a house.



And lastly, this is like meeting a hot girl from out of town, and having her give you her phone number, with no area code. Good news, yet oh so useless. (for now)

Useless? wtf are you talking about? With 2.81 decrypted, this means GTA:VCS, Metal Gear Anthology, among others won't require upgrading, that's HUGE!!

by Snarg - 2006-09-07 03:16
» yes useless

I love people's selective reading (and quoting) around here.

I said useless (for now)



And yes right now it is useless. Let's see you use this to do anything useful at all.

Lol they rushed this little update and ended up forgetting to patch it to make it non-decryptable (at least with the current tool). Sony probably makes their programmers stay up all night until they finish the +0.1 security fix or threatens to fire them; all that for the sake of preventing 5% of PSP owners from playing Yoshi's Island on their PSP, lol.

to anyone who says people with 2.8 dont deserve the 2.8 downgrader. i recently baught a psp off a friend. being the noob he is, he updated it to 2.8. me knowing that i dont want this and wished he didnt do this puts me in the position of no homebrew as for now. cant wait for the downgrader, but i am not impatient. i wont downgrade on the first release of the downgrader, i want to see some verification before i do it.

psar_dump2 and psar_dump2% are to be put in the game folder as they are nessecary for the program to run on 1.5 psp (you do have 1.5 right?)



src stands for source. dont touch that folder or move it to the psp. its the source code and absolutely useless unless you are a developer

but what about the whole pbp program thing? I have 2.8, and I put the two folders in to the game folder. On the psp, it shows the application and a corrupted file. When I run it, it says psp and turns off. Is that right?

by TrappedInAlaska - 2006-09-07 11:21
» To clear things up, or cause more questioning(if your a noob)

This just lets you decrypt the 2.81 fw. If you don't know anything about coding, I only knowing a little of everything, you probably don't have any use of this. NOWHERE in the article does it say --You can downgrade 2.81 ppl-- or anything similar to that, and if this was the purpose of this program then the first thing you would read would be DOWNGRADER.

decrypting the firmware lets developers see how the psp's firmware works ( I think, that what it pretty much is right??)

with that info people can make things to EMULATE 2.81 and play all the games that require 2.81 firmware on the oh so sweet 1.5 psp. This lets 1.5 users play with OTHER emulators and/or homebrew, letting them do just about everything availiable to the PSP. Does this mean that the 2.81 firmwares could be downgraded? maybe. but downgraders don't come out everyday, and usually takes awhile for one.



why many (and I) think that people with 2.81 currently don't need a downgrader is because of a few reasons



1 - The person with the 2.81 upgraded, knowing that they have almost no chance of ever playing homebrew again, but for some strange reason they want to come back (aka idiots).



2 - the person just currently got their psp and it might've came with a 2.81 fw. THe numbers here are so low nobody really should care (except the person WITH the 2.81). I might guess that not even 1% of people who know about the homebrew scene got into this situation.



3 - 2.81 is going to be emulated anyways, sooner or later, so why waste time on a downgrader? That is what I and many think or say, and there is logic behind this. if people are using (wasting) time on a downgrader, it won't impact as much people then if the same person made a SWEET homebrew app/game.



Now that doesn't mean that downgraders are bad. I upgraded to the 2.0 when i had my 1.5 because i heard only 1.0 can play homebrew (i've been in the "scene" for a while). Then 1.5 was homebrew-able a few days later. I was so pissed and thought that it was now official that i cant play homebrew, and went straight to 2.6. Then, once again i think, 2.00 was downgrade-able. After that I kept hold of my 2.6 psp, always hoping for a downgrader until it came, and many were grateful. after that it seems that if you upgraded further you are doing it because you abandoned homebrew from your life, and if you ask for homebrew again, you wont get homebrew. But still another downgrader came, this time to the 2.7 ppl. This should have split the line between people who wanted homebrew, and people who didn't. So asking for a downgrader is stupid. just wait and it MIGHT come.......MIGHT.

just release devhook without the illegal files, and obtain them from a dump preformed on your own psp



not illegal as far as i know, but it may be hard to make the dumped files compatible with earlier devhook versions



im thinking it would need to have the source completely reworked so that may not be very logical

lol ok let me put it in perspective folks





Anyone who has studied US history knows about black people being oppressd and treated like crap.

segregation, racism, beatings, all that.



That's basically what's happening now,



there are the people who still have 1.5 (white folk), and there are people who either



A: upgraded to 2.8+ because they thought flash would be cool or something



and



B: are upgraded to 2.8 because of some *****(s) who upgraded for them



these people are known as black people in this situation





basically, because everyone is doing it, people feel ok about bashing, insulting, and generally being rude to people with 2.8, simply because there is no consequence to doing it.





Hope that sums it up for those wondering, it's white VS black
