Dark AleX working on 3.80 M33 CFW

Sony PlayStation Portable - Image 1 


Here's some good news for those of us looking forward to a new custom firmware for our Sony PlayStation Portables, after the coming of the official 3.80 firmware beast from Sony itself: it seems that none other than Dark AleX himself is working on it, with the official firmware itself already dumped and decrypted. Awesome.

This comes from a forum post from the Sony PlayStation Portable developer himself, in a thread that talks about the official firmware being ripe for the picking. The post, verbatim:


Well, I will not be updating psar dumper until 3.80 M33, as for decompression it needs the 3.80 sysmem function for the new algorithm, but sysmem is also compressed with it. I'll be using the ipl function for internal decryption.


Straight from the homebrew developer's keyboard, and definitely good enough for us. Here's to a quick and flawless release (as always)!

Thanks to Black_Omega for the tip!

damn it you beat me to it!





well here's the full quotes..



DAX MAKING A NEW CFW?



Quoted from Dark_Alex on Maxconsole Forums..



I may code a nids resolver inside firmware, but that will take its time as finding the function equivalence between modules is annoying (very easy but very annoying)... but it may be the best solutions, as programmers will get tired of having to change the nids of their apps whenever there is a new cfw, as it seems Sony will be doing this all the time from now.



ALSO QUOTED..



Well, i will not be updating psar dumper until 3.80 M33, as for decompression it needs the 3.80 sysmem function for the new algorithm, but sysmem is also compressed with it I'll be using the ipl function for internal decryption.



Btw, SilverSpring, there is a "03g" now. Would it mean they are gonna implement the missing hardwares there?



01g = psp fat (all motherboards)

02g = psp slim

03g = top secret, but looks like a new model may come. Wether it is something totally new or just something to defeat pandora, is unknown.



Anyways Sony is slow creating a new psp. They started the slim back in 2.71



END QUOTE.

So... this is the 8th time that DAX has come out of retirement, after vowing that "this time I've quit for real!" :D Or is it the 9th?



Anyhow, I am kind of scared of this 3g psp that Dax is referring to... :(

# InterestingKorlithiel 2007-12-18 16:09
That last part of the quote has left me thinking Sony really is developing the PSPhone.



Beyond that, I like the idea of the built-in changer but I hope it isn't too much work for DA.

HX firmware is a very strong contender here. Remember that he completely reverse-engineered CFW on his own and implemented many neat features in his FW. Don't just dismiss _HellDashX_'s (citation needed) efforts.



His FW works with the PC PSN store purchases and has extra remote-play features enabled as well.



I donate to both projects.

# HX and DAX both greateddib 2007-12-18 21:57
indeed,

respect to both DAX and HX.

I run the latest M33 firmware, a good friend of mine is running the HX cfw. I can say for the both of us: cfw's running great on our Phatties.



and i also like the x in both DAX and HX.



respect (holds fist to chest and taps it twice...)

There will be a point when new hardware its uncrackable.

Its just a matter of them putting a lot of care in to overlooking small loopholes that give us access.

# ...now that's not cool thing to say...redbrick 2007-12-19 01:05
Any contributions towards the total mutilation, and dissmemberment of Sony's firmwares is a welcome effort. I too support HX's effort.



I wonder maybe DAX's definition of retirement has been misinterpreted some where.... either way it's great news, and welcome back.

No you can't, but you can change a pandora battery back into a normal battery.

look dude you need to downgrade via pandora, there are plenty of tutoriol video son youtube to show you how. then install custom firmware 3.52 M33-4, once again tutoriols on youtube. 3.52 M33-4 is one of the most stable firmwares. then you can use hombrew.

I am kinda new with updating, i just recently updated to 3.80 but i was wondering whether if it is possible to upgrade from 3.80 to 3.80 m33 firmware when it comes out. Or do i have to downgrade back to 3.71 in other to upgrade to 3.80-m33, i rly need to know plz.

# CFW 3.71 M33Erodes 2008-01-01 00:20
You can't downgrade that easily once you are in 3.80. But you can use a pandora's magic memory stick and a jigkick battery to downgrade to CFW 3.71 M33-2 (just remember that instead of using regular magic memory stick creator, use despertar_cemen terio application from DAX). THen after you have CFW 3.71 M33 you can only wait for CFW 3.80 M33.

When Team m33 releases the new 3.80 m33, will you be able to regrade a 3.80 firmwire to the new m33 version or do I still have to downgrade it to 1.5 first?
