Epsilon BIOS, Undiluted Platinum: Homebrew on 2.71 |
Ó
After showcasing the Undiluted Platinum Packaging and Components yesterday a reader going by the name "France World Cup Champion!" posted a link to a video that was quite striking. Without getting ahead of ourselves, this video shows us the Epsilon Bios flashed onto the Undiluted Platinum Modchip. Similar to the massive compatibility that is enabled when using Devhook, the prototype modchips were sent out to the team in order to test for possibilities in making a custom bios which would allow multiple firmware features without the need for switching firmware (or reflashing).

Starting off simply enough, as most PSP videos do, we go through the standard motions of showing what firmware the PSP is running [ 2.71 ]. Then we move over to the games menu and boot Loco Roco off the Memory Card. I'm sure I dont have to mention this but this was not possible previously on any firmware above 1.50. We see the game boot up to the main screen flawlessly and then quit back to the main PSP menu by pressing Home and accepting the changes. Notice the Epsilon logo in the top left corner.
Next very calmly scrolling down to select Attack of the Mutants [AOTM], a homebrew game which won awards at one of our past PSP Homebrew Competitions. This homebrew also boots up without a hitch. Note here that it would appear other applications and homebrew display without any corrupt icons that some 1.5 users have gotten use to.
Finally quitting back to the main menu we scroll down to Me and My Katamari. A quick click the game loads up (dare I say faster then it does on my 1.5 via Devhook?) We see the menu screen flash quickly and show the main menu for Me and My Katamari. With a quick flip the PSP is turned over and we see that there is no UMD in the drive.
Epsilon Bios and Undiluted Platinum combine for the ultimate PSP homebrew experience.
With the development of this custom Epsilon firmware, frankly we here at QJ are all really excited. Finally we can announce that all users will be able to play ALL homebrew regardless of what firmware came installed originally on their PSP, (or if their "little brother" upgraded it while they were gone). It should be noted that there is one PSP version that is incompatible at this time, however the Undiluted Platinum team is working to solve this issue so keep your eyes and ears tuned to QJ for your latest dose.
Please view our modchip compatibility guide to make sure your PSP is compatible with the new Undiluted Platinum modchip.

protecting first post!
wow for real?
w00t
Now all we need is the ability to get it on our PSPs without shelling out $100 on a modchip...
is this for real? What happens if sony releases 2.8 and it blocks the modchip? So with epsilon we don't need to restart the psp everytime to run the newest or older firmware? That is freakin awesome.
I wonder if Devhook (or any other form of FW launching) could emulate the epslion bios without U.P. for FW 1.0/1.5 While paying 90 (for the chip, doing it your self, and risking breaking your psp), 200 (for the instlation done for you), or 450-500 (for a pre-modded psp) might sound great for the peeps with 2.7+ (or 2.01+ for non-GTA owners or people who want full homebrew), dosen't sound so great for the 1.5'ers among us (90, 200, or 450-500 dollars to play comercial games... right). any thoughts?
lol QJ this was on the forums hours ago. Oh well. This is really great news. I have a 1.5 though, I see little or no use in 2.7+ other than the UMD games, but I figure that there will be a way to play them on my 1.5 eventually. The thing that would be really great is if they could make a custom firmware that took out ALL restrictions, or custom firmwares for other things like the network cards.
sounds great !!!!
simply unbalievable
It would be nice if devhook did emulate it as well.
That's awesome!! Great work UP team!
Anways this is awsome cant wait to put the up in my psp it's just sitting there waiting to be deflowered and people shut up and dont say "Fake!" or up is way to much and blah blah just BE HAPPY your the reason my indian brothere humma kulva turned his back to the scene. Just imagine what the scene would be like with him, proberly wouldnt need this modchip. But *****s will be *****s and thanx god for boozer on his dev hook he kept me from upgrading!!!!
Why won't someone release the unencryption method for 2.60+ now... god, is this going to become a war with businesses now in an effort to keep things trade secrets? :( Bad.
Now really, this all depends on a couple of things, even if you have a 1.5 if this FW as shown in the video is booting everything (without having to modify anything) then it really is great, but if this FW is booting stuff that has had fixes (PRX being the prime example) then this isn't so good for 1.5 owners. I wasn't so sure until the video showed the PSP tray being opened to reveal there is no UMD. I in no way disbelieve what was shown in the video, but ***** can be faked, until this has hit the masses I will remain somewhat sceptical. This is the sort of thing that would make someone with a 1.5 actually consider getting a chip;
i love u undiluted platinum
With this modchip, is it now possible to crack the 2.6+ firmwares since we should have full read and write access to flash0 and flash1? If so then devhook could emulate it and remove the need for an expensive psp modchip. wishful thinking or reality?
Haveing never used a ISO on a psp i wouldn't know, But I asume I can back my UMD's up to the memory stick and blah blah, How much of a load time will this save, As saving a mass amount of load time would be my only reason for a chip
if we install this mod, can we still play our games online, like syphon filter, socom, etc...?
Of course, the modchip boots with a sleep mode as well, so even if Sony could detect the chip you should be safe unless they implemented a system like they did in the Xbox for detecting modified hardware.
I just didn't know if the dnas would detect it
When will this be released...? will you be able to rip UMDs to ISOs, and if so will they be compressed (like the ciso/dax format.. I only have a 512 stick)..? does the chip come with a cable to write to both the flash and the mem stick.? I am so going to get this if it meets all my expectations
I liked everything in this video except for the ugly logo when he hit the home button. My idea of a custom firmware is one that works seamlessly behind the scenes without big flashy logos. I understand that credit is due where credit is due but I don't think it needs to be so obnoxious. Some credited text in the system menu would suffice. Secondly, in an above comment it was mentioned that it will cost $200 to ship your PSP off to be modded. For someone with a 1.5 like me, this doesn't seem that enticing. Especially when you consider the long term effects that modchips tend to have on hardware and potential security updates from Sony which would prevent their new updates from being run with a modchip detected. For now, I think I will just sit back and wait. If the initial consumers' reactions of this modchip are horror story free after the first few months upon release and the prices settle down a bit, this may be something I could consider.
if they made this fw from 2.71 that means they decrpted the files which means the devhook guys can do the same and emulate this fw or 2.71 requiring absolutly no need for any 1.5 users to have a modchip especially for 100$ plus installation cause you know that most people that have a psp cant install that themselves ;-) thank god im 1.5
Don't 1.0 PSP's have the ability to install custom firmwares? If so, the few people with 1.0 can just download and install Epsilon on the normal flash memory, no? Man, I sure wish I had a 1.0 right now, rather than my damn 2.6 >_< Also, if you have a 1.0, can you use that 'downgrade' method to go to 1.0, but rather than go back to 1.5, you install Epsilon? Meh, Iono, I have a 2.6 =(
God how I hate my lack of money right now. As soon as I can justify spending that much money, I am doing it. No *****ing kidding at all. I can't wait until I have my own modified PSP. By the end of summer, it should be in my hands! Muahahaha! Ahem, anyways, great work people.
I plan on getting this chip. For the love of PSP's capabilities
The FW can't be flashed due to the IPL (which is why there will never be a custom FW with out a modchip)
hows he booting the games as if they are 100% homebrew
some more news about iso loading! naughty qj.net haha i wanna see someone with the makers of devhook to be able to reroute the firmware like they do already, but to custom firmware. doesnt see too farfetched
I see no reason why this shouldn't work with devhook...
Not to ***** on people parade but I think it would be easier to just buy another psp, well that is if you have a 1.5 or 2.0.
Ill wait till the local modding stores get em` in, and ill get those good blokes to mod ye PSP. Thank god mod chips are leagal in Australia!
The thing with buying another PSP is cost. I'm australian I would have to get a chip sent to me and then do the soldering work myself. Although I'd probably get my father to do it, he has more experience than I do. Either way it costs money, and if people can avoid that all the better.
Yes, it should work with Devhook, but the point of this was to get homebrew with all of the latest features for all of the PSP users. Those of us that have 1.5 (like me) does not seem like a major deal and some of you do not want to buy an expensive modchip, as I can gather. But those PSP users that got screwed with 2.01 and over sure welcome this great news. I am gonna buy and solder the modchip myself, this custom firmware looks really promising.
Why the hell don't you put a link back to ***** when this info was clearly from their site....
i agree with #33 but for anyone with a psp with either 1.5 or 2.7 because if you got a 2.7 then it would be easier to buy a 1.5 off ebay or something. and if you got 1.5 you could just go buy a used psp from gamestop or ebgames.
wow, man i cant wait for that new modchip
FreeJ originally there were no iso loaders like dax,devhook, or even umdE. People had to write their own loaders into .PBP files that could launch the date off the memory stick without a umd in the drive. It's kinda funny how the iso loading scene is coming full circle. My question is if they dumped their custom firmware which is sorta like 2.71 then why couldn't people just update their 2.7 and lower psps to the hacked 2.71?? Or even why can't we just stick the f1 and f0 folders in devhook and emulate the custom fw? As for me I will wait since I do have a 1.5 psp and although the whole 2.71 thing with homebrew and *cough* iso loading would be nice, we all know that if you wait long enough a work around will come up just like with mphloader then runUMD then dev hook. So it's only time and it's not as though there's any games out right now that do not work with devhook (or at least to my knowledge.) cheers. and yay for new stuff on these firmware shenanigans.
I'm just wonder how this group got the modchip when its not even out yet?
idk if any of you noticed but, you dont need the modchip now!!! unless to unbrick. if this comes to be real i will ***** my pants. i noticed some of you think you will need the modchip to do this, but acording to te post they have the encription, go to http://*****/forums/showthread.php?t=11130 to here it word for word.
Somebody had to say it, sorry, hehehe... This is really awesome :D...
The Date on that PSP confuses me, Is it DD/MM or MM/DD?
Can anyone name the remix of Voodoo People playing? "Finally we can announce that all users will be able to play ALL homebrew regardless of what firmware came installed originally on their PSP" Just want to be clear about that, "all" users who can spend money on a modchip and are willing to risk messing up their PSP. I'd love to do this, but I don't have a lot of money and can't solder very well.
those wern't isos those are the 2.7 demos. That is super fake.
no, its all. they have the encryption code to run eboots, so they are making a flasher to make it for you can run homebrew without the need to put te encryption into every homebrew app out there. no modchip needed!
:')
Quote-daby: those wern't isos those are the 2.7 demos. That is super fake. But... there wasent a Me and My Katamari Demo...
FIRST POST!!!! awww, nevermind, guess i was a few seconds to late :/ lol, but anyways, this looks firggen awesome, the music really gets you pumped, but since I have a 1.0, this is USELESS No offense, but does anyone other than 2.01+ think they will spend $50+ on this for what they can do for free with devhook? I know that devhook is slower, and it isnt fully compatible, but the only psp game I play is GTA and Monster Hunter
does this mean you can update your psp to any version and still have homebrew? e.g. firmware 3.0?
Yes and No, this is a custom firmware, which means they modified 2.71. They could very well do it with newer firmwares, that is if they arent encrypted later on.
This chip would be soooo good for developers. They mod their psp, crack 2.71+ and give the firmware to 1.5 users :) I can't wait for this chip to be out so devs can get it, this would benefit 1.5 users as much as 2.01+
Look when he shows us the firmware version look at the botom of the psp screen its says x back but in mine its o back
The Me and my katamari was an iso running straight from the games folder ( I Think) That means you don't need an iso loader
THIS IS FAKE LOOM AT THE DATE ON THE PSP AND THE CHIP START SIPPING AROUND JUNE 15th!!!
that just means his psp is japanese...*sigh*...anyways, this seem really cool for 2.01+ who want to enjoy homebrew fully (snes9xTYL ME, IRshell etc.) but couldnt...and for 1.50 users, i also see no reason for devhook to emulate it...it'd be *****ing awesome...
oo i have that song inside my hack imac core dual. Mess with the best, die like the rest. good bye.
just my thoughts
ya thats good and all but the price and work to get the modchip working, is insane. You might as well but a 1.50 psp (or 2.0 w/e) and a 2.71 psp. These guys didnt discover anything new, they just got the modchip working. I know some of you understand, but i feel that some of you who are saying how awesome this is, dont realize the work involved with getting a modchip put in. The costs will end up being the price of a PSP or more. And dont tell me im wrong because the chip is $100, because u gotta install it into the psp, which costs around another $100 or more
You guys found this on ps2nfo & didn't put a link back.
60, you know nothing about modchips, or sodlering for that matter. You buy the chip, then you can install it yourself, plus within no time there will be solderless adapters, (Soldering is EASY) But still it is $60 more than you need to pay instead of just devhooking a 1.5/1.0 And no, this is not fake, this is a prototype chip, which menas it was given to devlopers before the chip was released. In japan, O means ok, X means cancel, makes a bit more sense, I think This aint fake, modifying a bios is easy without having to worry about security or encryption, which the modchip bypasses.
Do you have to have the modchip, or can say me with my 2.60 just update to the Epilson 2.71 without the Undiluted Platinum?!
travis you havent got a *****ing clue what your talking about. hardly anyone on this forum does. you all assume you know what you are talking about. modifying a bios is easy without having to worry about security or encryption? i suppose that would explain why the 2.0 and 2.5 firmwares have been modified. wait... they haven't, obviously it isnt that easy is it? serious, i hate you retards.
i dont beliefe it because on 2.71 you already can play katamari and loco roco and attack of the mutants i dont know what it is but let him try that snes emulator if that works than i belief it
...all this talk about devhook and i dont really get it... is devhook so good that it can make psp 2.6 users play 1.5 homebrew??? i dont think so... I sooooooooooowish i had 1.5!!! but i also really want 2.71... =-( im stuck with 2.6 )-=
It's a remix by Pendulum, the B side has an even better remix of Smack my ***** up.
I am not getting no chip for my psp. I'd love for that custom bios to run in devhook. That would mean having Loco Roco and flash run on a 1.50. And if any of you are wondering, it is quite possible this is a very well done fake, but the chances are that it is real (can someone do some frame checking/counting on the video to make sure it is all in order?). Also, as a off-topic question, what is that cool music in the background of the video?
Looks Good

Anyways, 64, seriously... The other bioses could EASILY be modified, theres a little program called IDA (If you don't know what that is, then stfu) The reason 2.0 and 2.5 werent modified is because there was no modchip! If you try putting a homebrew or modified bios onto the PSP's nand, it will not work, why??? BECAUSE OF SECURITY (The bootstrap for the main part)! That is why the modchip was invented. The only reason they chose to modify 2.71 over previous versions is because it is the latest firmware, why have the old features with homebrew if you could have the new features with homebrew
man... i want a modchip now!!!! i was thinking, cant the dual firmware just be bundled into one? so that we dont need it. Id love to have the modchip, but its fairly steep. man, life sucks.
now watch sony find a way to make new firmwares like 3.0 built so you can't open them up and mod them. thay should have waited for a firmware with better fetures to do this
From who is the music you hear in the background?
some of you are saying 'i dont need this i got 1.5' others say i dont want this i got 2 psp's and then others say 'it's illegal so you cant have them cause otherwise the psp game market will collapse..' well i say maybe its time you went on then! cause i want one and i'm just gonna wait for someone who will do it for me for like 200$ and i dont care cause money is worth ***** to me and before you flame me im not rich, i just cant get all you little kids wining about nothing, because you dont see me flaming a ds site just because i hate it.
FU(K YOU SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FU(K YOU LONG LONG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are all retarded.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Why is the date the 6th of Feb, or 2nd of June when read backwards? Surely even the 2nd is a bit early?
anyone who thinks this is fake has no idea.. great job!
I think its fake. Homebrew doesn't boot up with the Playstation Portable words underneath the PSP logo. Only UMD's do that.
All PSP's with the later firmwares do that when booting any pbp's
Some of you guys really are clueless. OMG IT"S FAKEZORS LOOK AT TEH DATE. Look American dates are like so MM/DD/YY which is stupid some of us have a saner system of DD/MM/YY which makes much more sense. Anywhoo who sais the date is correct? It's user set. As for a reason to get this chip. No more boot loaders, no more homebrew loaders. Think about that for a second. Anywhoo Sony will find a way around it and the platinum guys probably already have a backdoor for that, whatever it may be.
>84 I agree. Some people are stupid. Like the entire American populus. Anyway as long as Devhook cracks all the new firmwares on 1.5 then I am happy. As for you 2.01+ guys, you should be f[color=black]scking[[/color] grateful
For anyone who says ''F*** Sony'' they must be forgetting that without them, we wouldn't have any of this so I think one should have some respect. I am extremely glad that Sony manufactured such a great, powerful and versatile device and I am also glad that it has been hacked. One shouldn't forgetrespect for both sides. As for this Mod chip and custom firmware, I think eventually Devhook will find a way to make use of it. The hardware hacks of today will bring fourth the software hacks of tomorrow.
Could You Please Tell Me What The Soundtrack is. Thanks
Don't be expecting any custom fw soon, hey would be shooting themselves in the foot if they made it so it could be flashed on a nionmodded psp, that would mean no one would buy their chip anymore.
man they really want to get sony the sound track is vodoo people ITS A BIT OVER PRICED
"Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing, but too much of an awesome thing is... um... really dumb and bad. All kidding aside though, I look forward to the release of both the Undiluted Platinum modchip and the customized 2.71 firmware (Whether or not the modchip is required to use.). I say just be happy for the scene as a whole, because it can only benifit from these events. =)
NEEEED THE *****INING GOOD MODCHIP This will be pssible with every FW (3.0)!! GREAT NEWS :DDDDDDD IM SO HAPPY =DDDDDDDD
If Sony did block the modchip / custom firmware and therefore rendered thousands of peoples PSP's virtually useless, how many of those people would actually re-purchase another PSP? Probably not too many. There would be a mass exodus of people to purchase other handhelds, handhelds that supported homebrew (and emulation too). They are out there, just waiting to take a bite out of Sony, and they will too, if Sony aren't careful.
with the modchip, you can have all the supposed features that are soon to come! jeeze, think for a few moments. there was never a good PS1 emulator. lets rely on Sony's gay butt for that. plus the things sony puts in their firmwares load slightly faster than memory stick booted items. or maybe the problem here is that you all are lazy and don't/can't get jobs. either way, this is great news and i'm gettin one of them suckers.
Heh, I don't need a modchip, I am living happily with a 2.00
I'm worried about the PS3 update, since i already pre ordered mine. I was going to update firmwares so I can communicate with my PS3, but if this thing can go ahead and still give me homebrew when i update its worth a shot
Why dont you stfu, if you already have a 1.50, just move on by and don't give this an interest. But for 2.01+ this is good for them. Who cares it might mess you their own psp trying to apply it to the psp. Its their problem, not yours.
THIS IS OK AND
How can you tell what your PSP is (TA-079, TA-080. TA-081) without opening it up? Here is what my box says: PSP-1001 K 120V WS259 C P-2740003-+ S01-3344803-B
Not so shocking, this is what the mod chip was designed for.
suck
Wasn't a Loco Roco game demo just released to be played on firmware 2.71? He could have just been playing that.
can any1 get me the name of this song?
SONY GONNA RELEASE A FW WITH HOMEBREW ENABLE and emulators Too TRUST me... and they gonna brick any psp with this modchip in it just watch :D:D:D LOLOLOL1l111l1!!
THE MODCHIP IS TO PLAY ISOs and hombrew is only a good thing too the psp games are tooo expensive!!!
youre right, I didnt like that big logo either, but it shoudln't be too hard to modify the flash to fix that. The home screen is obviously a simple edit. Just find out what file in the flash is the home screen and replace that one with an original. If they could make their own PMFs, they could put their logo in that "About PSP" thing that displays sony's credits, that would be cool
notice that X is back in the system settings under sytem info lol. thats gay
THEY GONNA LOSE BIIIG B-B-BUUCKS!
why are you guys *****in so much about the price of the chip. Is 100$ really that much. I understand if you are like 14 and can't work yet than its a hit if you've been saving anything but other than that ps2 and xbox modchips are about half the price i think its because its such a small thing that they had to carefully put into it.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway this is so nice sony is pwned.......
and to think there are still some idiots saying this whole modchip thing is fake... what do you have to say now?
hey who ever wrote this post clearly doesnt know much about 1.5 firmware you can easly hide the curputed data icons by putting __SCE__ and %__SCE__ infort of all the folders in the game dir so we dont have to get use to *****... and was that the music from the movie hackers? = )
1.5 PEOPLE, SHUT UP! THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR 2.7X USERS, PEOPLE WHO WANT MULTIPLE FIRMWARES, OR PEOPLE WHO BRICKED THEIR PSPS! US 2.XXS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DEVHOOK CAPABILITIES! GOD DAMN! IF YOU DON'T WANT IT OR IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT IT THEN DON'T TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT IS ANNOYING!
mario gay es la ley and nice news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The music you heard in that video was a re-mix of a 1995 track called voodoo people, which was oridinaly released by Prodigy, on an album named music for the jilted gerneration. Who specificly did this particular re-mix, I can't say, however knowing what I just told you should be enough info for you to find this song somewhere. if you're crafty
Q:Hows he boot the games as if they are homebrew A: before devhook or even Daxiso 0.60 was out the RUNUMD fix games were coming out like that....were you had the x folder and all the files on the root of your memory stick then a patched runumd file in your game folder so when you loaded up you saw a PSP-specific game icon instead of the RUNUMD experimental icon... chuch
ASTRAL PROJECTION.... CAN ANYBODY DO IT. I TRY BUT I CANT SEEM TO ACCOMPLISH IT
The song is called "Voodoo People" or "Voodoo People (Pendulum Remix)" by "The Prodigy" The remix is much better than original.
I don't believe this video is real... In this video, as you notice you can't see anything but the screen... I think that he had a 2.71 PSP and showed a 2.71 PSP playing the LocoRoco Demo then when exiting...switched to a 1.50 PSP and kept the same memory card so that the icons would be the same. As you notice, the camera doesn't move ANY at all, making it easy to edit the video during the black screen without anyone noticing. (The main reason I feel this way, is because he blurred out the MAC Address without moving the camera ANY...proving that editing the video was easily posible. I also feel that the Epsilon logo was edited in the video.) About the Katamari game, there is a Hookloader and the could have been used along with DevHook... I don't believe this video is real...
I agree with post #119
but if it was real i feel that they would want money for it.
i have a question devhook works with 1.5 only. i remember after upgrading to 2.0 or down to 1.5 there was a change in the screen at loading. old ones said PSP and the newer firmwares says PSP and under that says playstation portable. couldnt it be real if 1.5 doesnt say playstation portable but then when he goes into homebrew and loads up the game it does? or could he have flashed the opening for his 1.5 if you claim he had 2 psps.
WE NEED AN EPSILON FIRMWARE FLASHER FOR THE 1.5!!!!! its CERTAINLY possible!
nocomment
dude its hella easy all you gotta do is use rope to pull yourself out. it takes a little getting used to, but its the best method so far
But vidoes like this with a cool background music doesnt feel so serious. Like #122 wrote, this video is created to be faked.
Thats real my friend created the Video.
Fake or not, who cares, it isnt great at all. Its a waste of money for sure. ya thats good and all but the price and work to get the modchip working, is insane. You might as well buy a 1.50 psp (or 2.0 w/e) and a 2.71 psp. These guys didnt discover anything new, they just got the modchip working. I know some of you understand, but i feel that some of you who are saying how awesome this is, dont realize the work involved with getting a modchip put in. The costs will end up being the price of a PSP or more. And dont tell me im wrong because the chip is $100, because u gotta install it into the psp, which costs around another $100 or more
hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! custom firmware allow homebrew on 2.71? hahahahahahahahaha i guess if its this easy to hack 2.7 for the team at epsilon , then sony's pretty much out of options! muahahaha and they can't release psp2 till a few years later! they r gonna be mad lol, sry im just excited
Looks great! But i think its possibel to run the bios with the Chip! Somebody knew the name of the Song????
The version shown in the video is the downloaded version (it says download in Japanese after the LocoRoco bit)
but also if you will buy 1 and alredy out of stock anyway My dreams come true Makes me wanna cry
anyway I know how to write UMD's but it too expensive
THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE THE MOD CHIP LET ME READ THIS CONFUSING ARTICLE AGAIN
dont buy this modchip yet, this will allow devs to find a downgrader method without the chance of bricking theyre psp. rest assured better homebrew apps will be released because no one will be worried about bricking their psp.
YOU NEED TO BUY THE MOD CHIP IN ORDER TO HOMEBREW ON 2.71????????????????
All this Motha *****in time and not one single person on the planet has tried to make a downgrader for 2.6 come the ***** on.....
@ 60 lol "another 100" for soldering a few times ? do you have any idea of anything ?
Who would wanna waste 100 $ on a mod chip for homebrew?? the price is wayyyyy tOOOOO000000 high!!!!!!!
Well said Zodionic, my thoughts exactly..
I have been reading through this blog and noticed the same question over and over ''what song is in the video?'' This damn question has been answered many times if you botherd to actually read through the blogs previous posters.
THIS IS FREACKING AMAZING!!!!!! I EJACULATED MYSELF WATCHING THIS VIDEO ,I GOT SO EXITED...LOLLL LET ME SEE SONY COMEBACK FROM THAT ONE HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! mmmm...where can i get this ***** ...?
sweet i want one how much this cost???????
Yeah, 100 bucks plus another 90 might be high, but think of all the money you`d pay if you bought every rom and iso and every system that you`re emulating? Somewhere in the thousands maybe? ;)
alright now time to have sex with gay men and let them come all over my face yay people yay!
if you have firmware 2.00 why dont u just download the downgrader and make it 1.50... 2.00 is the only downgradabe firmware other then 1.51 and 1.52. i found the downgrader looking on google watch out for torjens...
This is incredible! Finally! Now my PSP won't be untouched for days! When will all of this be available?
Travis, you are simply embarrassing yourself. IDA is simply one of the many disassembly/debuggers avaliable. It does not allow for "easy" bios modification. You dont even seem to understand what is supposedly limiting us from loading our own custom bios. you are a 12 year old ***** who thinks he knows what he is talking about because he has heard a few buzz words.

Some people think that this doesnt cost very much and i dont know what im talking about, but some of u are aware that this modchip will end up costing u around $200-$400. The chip price isnt everything, in fact, its the cheapest part in the process. Its the installation that kills. And if some of u are still unsure, they have some more info at PSP3D.com , the link where i found the prices is at http://psp3d.com/index2.php?page=PSP%20Modchips
with the chip, if sony gets pissed at it, which it most likely will, they will find a way of making it as near to impossible for you to use it thanks to firmware upgrades. i dont see that putting in some more encryption would be as hard as taking some out. it can be bypassed on sonys side, so once this has been around for a few months, i'll get one. if it stands firmware updates, then i'm good with it.

Do they just use 2.71 and then install the modchip ? or Do they install the modship and then updated their FW ? If the first ques. is "YES". It woulb be good. Well, Can anybody answer my Question ? Pls !!!
I just wet myself
look at all these comments o ya this looks cool of course im fw 1.5 so i dont have to worry but ya
I hope this is real and i can use it without the modchip!!!
what i want to know is, can both the modchip, and PSP2TV be installed on the same psp. ive got a 1.5, but i would still like to get this chip, but PSP2TV takes the priority for me.
i'll tell you guys what I hope with that.. hope that because of the chip.. we will be able to do a downgrader for 2.01+ that dont have the chip.. what make me think of something like that.. well .. with the chip.. we now have kernel mode access on any firmware.. so it will be very easy now to find a downgrader method or even a exploit. GOOD LUCK ALL!! im crossing my fingers!
nice use of google, budddddy the point is homebrewed firmwares have been out long before this, but could never be flashed onto the NAND because of security, the modchip bypasses this which allows homebrewed bioses to be flashed. And if you know how to program, then IDA makes it alot easier, I am not saying that the average user could do it, I am saying that this program, plus the lack of security makes it all the easier. If you don't believe me than why the ***** dont you think this has been done before the modchip?
if they did give a the modchip to developts, then how many did they give out? I'm a developter (not a big one) does that mean I'll get mine in a few days if I order it? if not, then how well known do you have to be to get the protype modchip? I well is eplison known? if they are well known they please provide links. thanks... PS. these are just question. I'm not saying its real or fake. However, when these questions are answers then we'll know the truth.
I wonder how the Up team and EB team got in touch in the first place..... Is there a "secret" site where "undercover" developers who no one has heard of before cooks up some nice stuff for us? I'd like 2 know.
OMG!!!! IM BACKING UP 119S THEORY WITH THIS... HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN A GAME LOAD THAT QUICKLY!!!!! ALSO!!! WHEN THE GAME WAS LOADING THE CAMERA WENT IN. TO LET THE PERSON SWAP PSPS!!!! TO THE SAME POINT!!!! JUST AFTER THE SONY PICTURE!!! THATS WHY IT WAS FASTER!!! AND THATS WHY ITS NOT TRUE!!!!
>165 Yes this place exists, it's called IRC :-)
As an owner of two FW 1.5 PSP's I really don't need this. I could ( and have been planning to) update 1 of them when I get a PS3 and there is sufficient reason to update (meaning some functionality that I "must" have). I may just sell off a PSP and buy a new one as to not deprive the world of a FW 1.5 PSP. That being said, I really think this mod could be fantastic. If $ony is not able to block the chip via FW updates, I will purchase one when the price falls to what I consider reasonable ($ 30-50). The fact that I have no desire to personally crack open my PSP weighs greatly in my decision. QUESTION: How long would it take an experienced person to perform this mod? The point of that question is that $100 seems like a hefty price for doing some soldering. I may be wrong, that's why I'm asking. For now, I'll be patient and continue to enjoy my homebrew. Also, I'll feel a little guilty buying this before sending my hard earned cash to Ahman, fanjita and a few other homebrewers that I have intended to support due to the great deeds that they have done for me and so many other total strangers. The least I can do is send them some cash, anyone that uses thier programs knows that they deserve it. .A.J.
Brilliant! I cant wait!
there is nothing preventing us from accessing or flashing the NAND, the nand api allow complete access to developers. this modchip does not give developers any further access to the original NAND, all it does is simply provide a second NAND to store the firmware on without fear of bricking the psp.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT MUSIC THIS IS AND WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD!!!
IF U TURN TO 3:19 U SEE A PAPER OR SOME THING IN THE UMD COVER IT MIGHT HAVE SOME THING TO DO WITH THE GAMES AND ITS FAKE BECAUSE I 2 HAVE COCO LOCOROCO,ATACK OF THE MUTANTS AND KUDO OR SOME LIKE THAT (SUDUKU) AND ALL OF THEM ARE DEMOS SO ITS A BIG FAKE!!! FAKE!!!I TELL YOU FAKE!!!F-A-K-E!!!FAKE!!!
yes there is a 2.60/5 downgrader and the i saw the future mod chip is real tooo alalalalaal
so did anyone try the modchip already??? Let me get ir right: With the modchip you can "let's say" download ISO's and then put in on your memorycard. - With a modfied modchip we can load these iso's without any loader or something else? Plus we can - With the modchip we can play homebrew *****, without any other programs for loading? - We can upgrade our firmware no mather what? Am I right, or I'm a just being a retard? Here in Holland they put the modchip in your PSP, for just 90 euro's. I don't think this is expensive. You can regain your 90 euro's by putting 2 games on a memorycard :D. Ok it's not ethic, but who gives a *****. I don't want to pay 50 euro's for every new game I want to buy.
No the modchip will allow you to have 2 PSP versions, 1.5 for homebrew and 2.71 for anythign else. If you currently have a 1.5 psp you dont need this chip unless you want to use Fimrware 2.71.. or have a bricked psp... nothing amazing will really happen unless the Epsilon BIOS is released... it might be but it seams strange a day after the modchip was announced this Bios was too....
Hmm so if I get a modchip. I still need to load 2 versions for using homebrew (v 1.5) and some new games and stuff (v 2.7)???? I've got a v2.5 PSP out of the stores. So I need a modchip anyway. But I really need to know if I'm still in need of 2 separated versions (with loaders or somethin'like that) to use homebrew and ISO's. And if I still can upgrade to future firmwares??
YOu have to understand the point of the video. locoroco is a 2.71 only demo so to show he is really on 2.71 he played locoroco. then he played a homebrew game that is not playable on 2.71 using the modchip. Then he played an ISO from the same folder and to prove it was a real iso he ejected the UMD. THis could be easily faked but it is real because they are already selling it and it works even though it is overpriced.
... But honestly, after seeing the contents, I find myself less confident of being able to solder the damn thing myself. The little templates that come with it clearly show it's too delicate for a Beginner like myself to handle. The printed leads themselves look very fragile and the solder wire looks more like a thread than wire. So now I'll have to shell out for some professional to do it... anybody know anyone in Sydney Australia that can do it???
