PSP firmware 5.03 out now *update* |
Listed in: Firmware, News Tags: Exploit, psp firmware, Sony
Ó

Heads up, people. There's a new system update coming for the Sony PlayStation Portable. Don't hit that Network Update icon just yet, though (and if you're a homebrew user, why would you?). It's not out yet. PSN Operations director Eric Lempell says it should be out "soon", though.
So far, no changelog, but firmware 5.03 supposedly includes "a security patch for the PSP's system software." Could this be Sony's answer to the GripShift exploit? Very possible. Stay tuned for more updates.
*Update* Word on the PlayStation forums is that the update is now live. As Lempell said, all 5.03 has is the following:
- New for 5.03: A security patch was added to address security vulnerabilities in the system software.

Gripshift Exploit works up to 5.02 OFW + CFW universally, there is no guarantee they did not correct for the exploit in 5.03.

People find ways to work around security and sony patches the weaknesses found and the peopl find more weaknesses and loop hole to work around the fixes.

/vsh/module/savedata_auto_d ialog.prx [related to auto-loaded savedata]
/vsh/module/savedata_utilit y.prx [related to savedata in general]
/kd/power.prx (for some reason, 0x1F31 went from 0xFD in 5.02 to 0xFC in 5.03)
/kd/lflash_fatfmt.prx (for some reason, 0xC98 went from 0x32 in 5.02 to 0x33 in 5.03)
Apart from the standard changes (index.dat, pspbtcnf.bin, loadexec.prx) literally every other change was just an update of the internal version number from 5.02 to 5.03
I can confidently say that this update does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but patch the GripShift exploit.

Classic Sony game of cat and mouse. It's only a usermode exploit. Any harm or loss of revenue because of this?

thanks Sony! you're so giving and kind..
I'm about to sell my PSP and ban Sony products from my life..
Sony doesn't care about customers and communities at all, just the profit, and to compete other manufaturers..
that's all..
I love the PSP, but the official support is a joke,
with PS Store on the lead..
PS3 is a joke by itself, it's high end, but useless..
no proper games, services, nothing..
just an expensive shiny black box, with awesome graphics output..
Sony Computer Entertainment is a dead end for me.. :(

Sorny should have bundled a new feature in there with the exploit to encourage those OFW users to update so then they couldn't use the GS exploit...but them programming types don't seem to think that way over there. :)

It's about patching holes, and not fixing what isn't broken.

I mean, what the PSP does on FW 3.54 is complete. It needs no improvement. What you want and what you get are two different things (so shut up with your "AVI support plz").

It'll stop the new-comers, though. But not if they buy a mod chip.

What a bunch of complete asses! Given the uneven nature of releases in the UK (no Yggdra Union, no Jeanne D'Arc, probably no Mana Khemia) Sony can piss off if they think I'm going to update to this and lose the ability to play imported games - half my collection is imported, and without games like Gundam vs Gundam or Macross the platform is dead as far as I'm concerned.
Jesus, what a bunch of *****s! Stopping piracy is one thing, but fudging the consoles ability to play imports is f**king unforgivable!

1)retarded ppl brick their PSP's and sony has to pay for it and give them a new console
2)retarded people [you] pirate games [illegal][selfi sh] and destroy the industry:
-no one buys games >
no one programs games >
no one buys the console because it has no games.
So, im sure you see now that your the cause of all this commotion.
