PSP Multi Firmware Module - Dates, firmware, compatibility and more! |

Admin Note: Some of here at QJ have a suspicion that 0okm may be playing a little prank on us, so we feel we should warn you that the following may be a bit of a satire on 0okm's part regarding the current modchip madness. ;)
0okm has posted some more information on the PSP Multiple Firmware Module in order to clear up some misconceptions about the product, mainly the fact that this device is a Module and not a Modchip. As most common users don't know the difference between these two pieces of hardware, 0okm has tried to clear this up with an FAQ on the Multi Firmware Module.
The firmware module is for:
- Development and research into PSP system firmware
- fw 1.0/1.5 users to play with a newer firmware functions and have an 'unbrickable' PSP.
- Bricked PSP owners to unbrick their PSPs (need another FW 1.00/1.50 PSP or "PC EPP LPT Interface Adaptor")
The module works on TA-079/080/081 PSPs, and just as with Undiluted Platinum, owners of TA-082 PSPs will not be able to use this module. When the "PSP Multi Firmware module" starts to sell, 0okm will show users how to distinguish these PSP hardware differences without the need to open the PSPs case and invalidate your warranty.
0okm is currently looking for a producer to mass-produce the firmware module, and expects it to be in production as soon as July! It will be inside the PSP, but apparently will be very easy to solder. You will be able to write to the flash externally using the PSP's USB function, or using a "PC EPP LPT Interface Adaptor" (available for around $15); in essence being able to 'downgrade' your 2.xx PSP.
We will be keeping you apprised of updates as they come in. It looks like the future for 2.xx users is bright with the development of hardware modifications for the PSP. With both this and Undiluted platinum currently in development, we can all look forward for a better future for the PSP community.

I'm wondering how many people are going to start offering a modchipping service and then charge both an arm and quite possibly an additional leg for it.

Looks to me as someone needs to learn about voltage regulators there is no reason why the UP modchip if it is real of course want work on all PSP just by regulating the voltage properly an all it would mean that the wiring for the different modes would be slightly different so a very easy thing to do
any way good luck with your own project Ookm it's looking good and hope to see it on sale soon and hope you don't have to many technical issues during the production

does this mean no soldering?

"The difference between a Multi Firmware Module and a Modchip is that the module integrates with the current circuit board, whereas a modchip is a new chip with an integrated circuit."
I still don't understand the difference...

This thing may not be a modchip, but if it is able to downgrade 2.50 to 1.50 then where's the big difference?
ALSO, I hope "bricked" people did not trash their PSPs...

BUT...
''Use PSP's USB to copy the FW image file from PC to PSP Memory Stick Duo - then Use software to program the NAND Flash''
Pardon me but anyone in the know, or have an idea whether this is possible? The only way i could think this possible was if the chip came pre-flashed with a firmware on it, else how would those with 2.7's ''Use the software to program the NAND Flash''
Is the software on the pc or the psp? or both?

Basically, this is going to be smaller, and hopefully alot easier to put in.

this doesnt UNbrick your psp, it makes ur bricked psp use-able by adding a second flash.

"just as with Undiluted Platinum, owners of TA-082 PSPs will not be able to use this module"
based on what knowledge? we know ookm didnt get it to work, doesnt mean the other guys didnt.
ookm's chip has its own flash memory. The only way to program it so you can downgrade/unbrick a psp is to use the PC parallel flasher. After you have 1.5/1.0 on it you can then boot homebrew and whatnot.
Soldering on this one is going to be fairly tough, it relies on wires (like a PS2 chip, with smaller solder points) and not a flexible pcb (like the slim PS2 HDD addon)

0okm IF YOU PUT A NICE PLAIN BLACK CASE AROUND THE EXTERNAL PART, I WILL DEFINATELY BUY ONE!
only one question, will the UMD drive still be able to open?

lol at this:
"without the need to open the PSPs case and invalidate your warranty."
I find it ironic since youre gonna have to void the warranty to install the module

Ps. I just want to make sure....Cuz, I just update my FW

You will be able to tell if your PSP will work with this module without opening your case, so you don't have to invalidate your warranty unneccessarily.
@18: The Software would be on the PC and access the flash through USB. The software would program the flash included with the module, not the actual PSPs Flash.
I would reply to the rest of the questions people have asked, but there's too many and frankly all of them can be answered by read the article.

Extra battery: $50.00 CND
2gb stick or 4gb: $125 or $245
Datel Wifi Router: $60.00
PSP: I hope ill find v1.5 for under $300
Total- WHOPPING $600 ..oh welll ill have so many free games on stick...worth it...plus the emulators
Should i get the 2gb stick or 4gb stick?
How many ISO's can you put 2gb/4gb????
----> Does GTA ISO work with Devhook??? hOW much space.
Can you give me a link of working Devhook ISO?
Where can i find a psp 2.0 or under (i'm willing to downgrade). WOuld EB games have used psp's v2.0?
(I live in Abbotsford B.C., Canada)

it depends on how much the iso is.. sports games are like 300-500mb.. and buy a value pack.. its probably your best chances at gettin a 1.5/2.0 fw..
hope this helps

The reason why I choose Dev Hook, because its faster and easier to emulates full firmware and iso loader on my 1.50. I tried to open my PSP with the cross screwdriver but the nut bolts are loose and stuck inside; and there's no way to open my PSP, since I bought the housing (backplate) few months ago and the repair man couldn't get this fixed. So ff you guys have similar problem like me after buying your Modchip then get a DevHook for free. BTW, 2.71 will be updating soon for the New DevHook! So keep your eyes on Booster and his team's Project!

Personally, I am still trying to determine which chip on my board is the NAND and even if I can reflash it where can I find the original BIOS files to reflash it?
