Dark AleX releases new PSP unbricker: Despertar del Cementerio v6

Posted Aug 6, 2008 at 11:35AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Hacks & Exploits, Homebrew Applications, Homebrew Development Tags: Custom Firmware, Dark AleX, memory stick, XMB

Dark AleX is back with a new version for the "Universal Unbricker" for the PSP! This time around, Despertar del Cementerio v6 is chock-full of bug fixes and features. And for the most part, the problem with certain TA-88 PSP models has been addressed.

For those new to this unbricker, and as a recap, Despertar del Cementerio (aka DC) can be used in conjunction with a pandora battery, which then allows you to install pretty much any custom firmware back on your PSP.

Here's the full changelog for Despertar del Cementerio v6:

Now installs 4.01 M33-2
Change of core. Now it uses 4.01 M33 core. This fixes some TA-88 crashing because of 1.5/3.40 kernel. Note that there are still other kind of newest TA-88 which cannot boot DC at all.
GUI of both installer and DC itself changed to a xmb looking one.
Added the option "Test M33" which boots 4.01 M33-2 from the memory stick.

Make sure to go through the entire readme file included in the download archive as it contains detailed installation instructions of how to use this. The entire process is still pretty sensitive and may cause your PSP to have problems.

Thanks to LeadBaron for the quick tip!

# *Claps* — c74gta4smash 2008-08-06 06:47

This is very impressive! The XMB waves make the GUI alot less intimidating. Good jo DAX!

# Useful and Functional! — Nathanias 2008-08-06 06:47

The GUI is beautiful, no more black screens!

# thats cool but.... — fourmyfriends 2008-08-06 06:57

I have searched the posts (or atleast the last 25 pages of news), and i dont see an article about DAX's savestate for the slim, it's not only out it's on version 2, did I just miss the article?

# DAX has done it again! — prime 2008-08-06 07:05

This guy is a genius and amazingly dedicated programmer, great job!

# weird — ChaosX6 2008-08-06 07:16

my PSP just cuts off when I run it

# Exactly — mistr305 2008-08-06 07:19

This man needs to live on Donations alone :)

# nvm — ChaosX6 2008-08-06 07:54

I didn't have a custom them on but it was a flashed custom theme......

# how about — Act II 2008-08-06 08:31

# Agradecimiento — aitrus 2008-08-06 08:34

Eres simplemente singular Dark no he visto persona tan desinteresada y eficaz como Tu, Un saludo y gracias

# yes — Foolmonkey 2008-08-06 08:46

you missed it lol

# wtf. — FearEvil19 2008-08-06 08:47

Why would you possibly need 4.05 M33?

# i cant — Act II 2008-08-06 08:48

play any of the videos i downloaded from the ps store

# nice job DAX!!! — NDWolfwood 2008-08-06 09:04

Nice Job DAX!!!!

is Dark_AleX working on the one that can downgrade the certian T-88 modelss?

# .... — Silver-Tiger 2008-08-06 09:15

GREAT!!! thank you so much DaX, for some reason I couldn't install 4.00 M33 the normal way, it always stopped at 99% and I got a brick :(

With this it works just fine.

oh and BTW: the new menu is beautiful.

# marvelous — spankmaster 2008-08-06 09:38

Congrats on another amazing release DaX. i hope he can work with the IPL problem with the new MB's cause my friends wants to get a psp and i told id install the CF for him, and i dont want him to buy one and find out it cant be done! Its gonna be a tricky problem to fix for sure since the IPL has to be a sony signed one, but im sure he'll find a way do work it out. luv ya DaX!

# ... — FreePlay 2008-08-06 10:34

I'm sure that's the next step, yes.

# .. — EXTER 2008-08-06 11:29

DAX made a plugin to spoof the firmware version reported to the PSN store via USB.

Get it Here: http://www.dark-alex.org/usbversionfake.rar

# lol — FearEvil19 2008-08-06 12:51

I was about to say that

# thanks but — Act II 2008-08-06 13:00

# Cool. I just read up on it. — UltimaArmorX 2008-08-06 14:24

Put "dax savestate" in google and several articles come up.

# GUI — sicksider 2008-08-06 16:26

The GUI looks like the software come from SONY!! haha!!

DAX Great Job!

Also DAX make this GUI so that people feel confident that it work and safe to use.

# sweet — dazmo 2008-08-06 23:55

nice work M33! next you should make something spectacular like xray vision camera mod . . . and hold a $10k dax-a-thon for donations before you release it lol

# . — JaXeRiR 2008-08-07 00:03

Yeah, you can DL the videos but you can't play them :/

Unsupported data.

# That might be your problem :P — Nathanias 2008-08-07 00:55

O_O

# ? — Ruthlessvalor69 2008-08-07 01:49

You used this all ready? I am going to try it out when I know my Pandora Battery + MMS work fine xD

My MMS takes up 300 MB! But, it unbricks Slim + Classics thank god!

# Pandora Battery Still Needed??? — DarkAngel13 2008-08-07 02:46

so i dont need pandora battery to hack psps anymore.

caz i have OS Pandora Battary tool 0.5 and the Pandoras Battery Creator. do i jus delete them???

BTW Thank for dis

NICE menu

# Yup — c74gta4smash 2008-08-07 10:39

It works great. It even feels official, as if SONY made it, mainly because of the xmb waves. I'm using a slim cause I semi-bricked my Fat one. I just need to get a stamina bat for it.

# Wrong — c74gta4smash 2008-08-07 15:05

Where in the explanation did you read that. You'll always need pandora, no questions aksed. Mabey one day we wont but until then, hold on to your batteries!

# easier to use — shoegazer 2008-08-08 02:29

DA really did a fantastic job

not only it looks nicer, but it's easier to use than the older version as well

thanks DA
