PSP System firmware 1.5 BIOS for Undiluted Platinum users!

UP logo

From the creators of the Undiluted Platinum Modchip comes PSP System firmware 1.5 BIOS in .flash format for the Undiluted Platinum flashing utility. This release is a stop-gap between the availability of the first Modchip for the PSP and the release of the Epsilon custom Bios flash replacement that will allow you to do much more than this 'unpacked' version of a 1.5 EBOOT lets you do.

So, what does this one actually do? Well, it allows Undiluted Platinum users to install PSP firmware version 1.5 onto their Undiluted Platinum chip using the flashing utility supplied with the UP chip. You can then switch between your original Bios that is on your PSP (i.e firmware 2.0) and firmware 1.5, thus allowing you to play UMD games that require higher firmware versions and running homebrew! We didn't have a spare Undiluted Platinum modchip to test this on in the QJ labs, but we have been assured by the modchip developers that this is very easy to use with the UP flashing utility.

The Epsilon custom Bios replacement should be released pretty soon and is much better, as it has support for both 1.0 and 1.5 Eboots, and of course has the godlike ability to restore bricked PSPs to their original glory. However, until then, this original firmware 1.5 should do for Undiluted Platinum users!

If you haven't ordered a Undiluted Platinum modchip yet but would like to, here are the links necessary to get yourself on the route to PSP firmware freedom:

hye, arent these .flash files just a firmware dump packed into one file? nothing else in there right?

this woudl also make this file illegal since it is sonmy's copyrighted OS, only "reverse engineered" and so I do think you guys shoudl still host it since it is important to the PSP scene and the UP users, but i think sony might take the opportunity to sue again since they have no real defense against the modchip.

# moron — Guest 2006-06-28 10:13

#8 is a retard. u actually think a firmware loophole which hasn't made any progress other than writing a few files to a memstick is better than owning a modded psp which can at the push of a button boot 1.5 fw / 2.71 fw or a custom fw? you're an idiot.

# lol ya 21 is right — RaiderX 2006-06-28 10:15

#8 is stoopid, o well. his loss

lol, you guys removed the file just after I dled it. o well

# >>>> — Guest 2006-06-28 10:16

Yep i agree whole heartedly with 21!!

Comon QJ they are not gonna slap a lawsuit on you for this they will get angry if someone tips them off and will send you a nasty e-mail with a threat asking you to remove it if not then they will take legal action

# >>>> — Guest 2006-06-28 10:19

If you truely supported homebrew QJ you would host it until you get a formal threat!!

# #23, DONT BE SO SURE — RaiderX 2006-06-28 10:20

sony has attempted lawsuits against QJ before and the risk isnt worht it. there are other sources where the flash will be hosted. (hopefully, the UP team will make a site for themselves) and I would say that sony would take any opportunity to destroy the PSP homebrew scene and the modchip

# a — Guest 2006-06-28 10:20

Can anyone tell me the file name?

than i can search it up on any other mirror on the net.

is it like 15psp.flash or what?

# Thx god I got it — CBMaster 2006-06-28 10:22

I got the flash, so uh yeah! Im gonna keep it in safe place and HOST IT ON MY FILE SERVER!

# If you want me too... — CBMaster 2006-06-28 10:25

If you guys want me to host the file on my file server, then comment "Host it, CB!"

After I get like 25 peeps, I will host it and password the RAR and give you the password OK ;)

# Host it, CB — Guest 2006-06-28 10:30

i really want this. I going to buy the UP modchip soon. So I'm going to save all the work in a folder for like information, files i need to make the modchip working.

Nah forget comment 28. I have released it

The password is "150firmware".

Have fun with it. Don't worry it's the same one downloaded from QJ.

Still uploading it ^^^^

Password is same "150firmware".

# This bin file... — Guest 2006-06-28 10:45

This file is intended for flashing onto the new undiluted platinum mod chip, if you have installed this chio then you can plug in your usb pcb and then usb cable and flash the U.P with 1.5. So for ppl with 2.7...etc they will be able to experience 1.5 for the first time (unless they upgraded from it originally) the U.P flash utility which does not use pbd files to install firmware but uses .RAR data dumps of the the flash chip in the .BIN format (hence the .bin file inthe download. Its a good file for 2.xx mod chip users to get to experience the word of homebrew until epsilon comes out

# correction — Guest 2006-06-28 10:49

was suppsed to say "RAW" INSTEAD OF ".RAR."

# readit — Guest 2006-06-28 10:56

READ THIS READ THIS READ THIS!!

If you have the chip make sure you rename it

nand-dump.flash before you flash it to your new nand!!

But you would probably know that if you have installed the chip!!

# HI — Guest 2006-06-28 11:10

HI, I WAS JUST WONDERING, IF YOU CAN DO CUSTOM FIRMWARE ETC ON THIS, THEN IS IT POSSIBLE TO TEST CUSTOM FIRMWARES AND MAKE THEM SEEM LIKE 2.8 OR SUMMING, SO PEOPLE WITH NORMAL PSPS CAN JUST INSTALL THAT, IS THAT POSSIBLE????, IM NOT SURE ETC, BUT WAS JUST WONDERING

# @everyone — Guest 2006-06-28 11:23

Sorry for removing the download link, but it had to be done.

You'll have to find it yourselves.

Sorry, I have to go use Google. Bye.

# To all you noobs out there... — djthegreatidiot 2006-06-28 11:24

First and foremost, firmware 2.5 and 2.6 with full kernal access will be great and all, BUT it is still not as good as having a modchip. With a modchip you can have CUSTOM firmwares. Meaning you can even add features that didn't come with the latest firmware released by SOny (If you know a little c/c++) and play EBOOTS with full kernal access. How have you not noticed one of the main features of the modchip? Was it because you were to focused on the price? The price is not bad for the FIRST PSP modchip. The U.P. team has to make some profits.

Also, you need to read and learn about the topic before writing some stupid comment like "OMG OMG OMG OMG the U.P. team is going to get their @$$ kicked by Fanjita. Woo-hoo full kernal access. Wait, what is full kernal access..."

If you don't know what your talking about, please just don't comment.

# Pros and Cons — Guest 2006-06-28 11:40

People keep talking trash about all firmwares...so, here we go!!!

Ver 1.5

Pro: Full Kernal Access

Easily access homebrew material

Con: No internet (I don't mean by hacking other software)

Cannot play newer games (Not supporting illegal activities)

Ver 2.5/2.6

Pro: Access to any game on the market (2.60)

Homebrew through GTA

Con: No full kernal access which means less homebrew

Not a lot of support for homebrew at this time

Mod Chip

Pro: Easily access all firmwares

Can play new games with 2.71 firmware and keep 1.5 for homebrew material

Con: Price tag

Installation process

Now, this is just a SIMPLE breakdown of all three items. I am fully aware of full kernal access on 2.5/2.6 in the future, however, you still need GTA to access it which makes it a bit difficult right now, although, in time, I'm sure someone can work around this.

Also, playing ISO's on your 1.5 is NOT a benefit because lets face it, 90% of you are doing it illegally.

I have lots of skill in soldering so I purchased the mod chip for my PSP (gotta wait for that June 30th shipping date) and I'll happily solder it myself. Only con for me was the price tag.

All items have there benefits, period! Just a matter of which one you enjoy more over the others!

# Wow..... — djthegreatidiot 2006-06-28 11:40

I do believe 43 is not 1. But maybe he/she used the equation 4-3=1. So I guess 43 is the 1st post.

THE UNDILUTED PLATINUM DOESNT UNBRICK YOUR ORIGINAL BIOS.IT JUST ADDS ANOTHER FLASH SO U CAN USE YOUR PSP......SO IF YOU BRICKED IT AND INSTALLED UP, U BASICALLY ONLY HAVE ONE FIRMWARE

# i think it does — Guest 2006-06-28 12:23

Once you have that one flash to boot from you can install another update and unbrick it. The reason we coudn't unbrick them before is because we had nothing to boot from once the origional flash was bricked.

# Illegal? — Toaster99 2006-06-28 12:27

Aren't all of the homebrew files and emulator hosted here illegal? So what makes this one so special?

Ok, so this means the upcoming Epsilon Bios will fix your original "bricked" PSP flash memory? If so...then I'm defenately getting this chip soon.

# experimental downgrader — logicbomb.de 2006-06-28 14:10

hmmmm,

looks like that 2.5/2.6 downgrader IS real, although "unusual side effects" were mentioned but not elaborated upon.

I'm gonna wait and see how this all pans out, if you did DG thru the experimental downgrader and had side effects I suppose you could then do a clean update to 2.0 using an eboot and then use MPH or whatever to go back to 1.5 with a legit intact 1.5 eboot.

im still gonna wait and see

# downgrader — TheRealMcCoy 2006-06-28 15:05

ya logicbomb i like your idea but im gonna wait too because those few seconds of it downgrading would be the scariest of my life because i dont want a brick

that downgrader has bricked 3 PSPs sofar

# ^.^ — Guest 2006-06-29 02:58

u.p. is too friggin expensive and it can only do slightly more than devhook can so i'd say its not worth getting but thats just me

# what we must do to use hombrew and isos — Guest 2006-06-29 03:16

2.7: buy the UP

2.6: downgrade to 1.5/ or wait for full kernel acces

2.0: downgrade to 1.5

1.5: be happy

PSP System firmware 1.5 BIOS for Undiluted Platinum users!

1.00 users shouldnt update to 1.50!!! that's just dumb.

# flash — Guest 2006-06-29 13:35

1.0 users can upgrade to 1.50 or even 2.0 and downgrade back to 1.0 if they feel like it.

So no, it's not dumb.
