Homebrew development: Sony PSP Slim's firmware 3.60 dumped |
Ó
In this particular news bit we'll be reporting details two topics you guys may be very familiar with: The PSP Slim, and developer Dark AleX.The first news bit goes that coder Mathieulh (aka Math) has successfully dumped the Slim's 3.60 firmware. To prove this point, Math posted a screenshot taken of the Slim's kd folder in the flash0 directory. That would be the screenie displayed to your right. At the moment, Mathieulh won't divulge any details on how this procedure was pulled off - this exercise simply proves that hacking the Slim is possible.
What makes this news all the more exciting is that Mathieulh reports the dude who helped with the dump is none other than Dark AleX. Yes, dear readers - the famed CFW creator seems to have gone out of retirement (or is it now a sabbatical?) to take a crack at Sony's latest handheld offering. Then again, maybe that's just our wishful thinking.
Drop back again in case we pick up any details. Or, you can also opt to drop by Skyline34's thread over at the QJ.NET Forums, where we picked up this news snippet.

The fact that Dark_Alex and Math are 'brainstorming' the slim is good news for us, not so good for Sony.
Now I can consider buying one.
Thanks a ton D_A and Math.

BTW Alex and I have been toying with the slim but Alex is still retired to the psp scene, hence we do not plan any public release of this work, it was done for private purposes just to see if we could do it, it was not planned to be disclosed or released in any ways. Although now people know that messing arround with the psp slim is possible.
I hope that hacking groups will realise how we did it ( it wasn't that hard ) and will release their own software or hacks for the psp slim.
So far no public release either from me or Alex is planned. Alex is retired of the scene and does not plan on making any of his work public.

Also if any of the editors at QJ.net would have taken the time to read the Pandora announcement more carefully then they would have known that DA was also involved with that, plus some other very notable people like Nem, BOOSTER, Math plus the people everybody already knows (Noobz).
Anyway, great news I think. Hopefully the Slim gets hacked so I can buy one for my girl-friend :)

I miss words for how amazing you guys are.. :)

Don't trust any kid that mails you and says " Oh yeah baby I am so cool me and my friend DarK AleX we managed to dump the new PSP Slim we're so cool!!!". If you've payed attention on the picture that you share us one .prx file is named "irda.prx" and the new PSP Slime dosen't have a IR port!! It's fake! Why to put a Irda prx on a psp slim?? Useless. Just wait maybe you just have to wait...

And maybe they havn't got round to releasing it yet, or decided not to do it or something.
This is no proof it's fake, and it's no proof it's real either.
All we can do it hope, and eat small irish people with the green hats :)

If Dark_Alex was retired, then he should stay retired, and keep his "private" works actually private. This news does us absolutely no good, because he doesn't tell us a damn thing about HOW it's hackable. I mean, no ***** it's hackable - ANYTHING is hackable - but these two are basically just putting the fact in our faces that they know how to hack the slim, and we don't. It's absolutely childish, and they may as well have not even TOLD anyone that they hacked anything.
Call me unappreciative or whatever, but this is just ridiculous. There's no point in hacking the new PSP if you're going to hoard all the info on doing so to yourself. That just utterly defeats the purpose.

Anyways, aside from that, personally i wouldn't get my hopes up for another exploit. Also regarding the save state buffer overload, it's highly unlikely that it is even possible on a psp because simply modifying the hardware a little would enable sony to add a switch that can block write access to the nand in game... Furthermore, i believe one of two things hapened: either a new service mode hack or my more far fetched idea is physically removing the memmory chips off the psp 2000 motherboard, hooking them up to the original psp and then running a 1.5 nand dump off of the mem card (using pandora) accessing the flash through the 1.5 kernel in a standard eboot (of course a driver change might be neccessary for the new hardware to be readable) such as booster's usbsss

But I respect Math and DA's decision not to release to the public, but come on people... It's soooo simple you can do it yourselves!

Tiba-tiba sahaja
Di dalam hati ini sering rindu padamu
Ingin kumeluahkan, tak berdaya
Ku tahu engkau jua
Sangat sayang padaku
Kaupun sering merindu
Bila tidak bertemu ternyata kau dan aku
Punya rasa...
Kau dan aku sudah ditakdirkan bertemu
Dan tiba-tiba kita jatuh cinta
Ini semua sudah suratan ilahi
Dan kita harus tabah hadapi kenyataan
Biar... apapun terjadi
Aku... harap engkau tabah...
Menerimaku sebagai teman barumu
Semoga kita saling sayang, bahagia...
Usahlah engkau pergi
Semadi di hatiku
Masih menyayangimu, oh sayangku...
Bila sehari tak jumpa, aku rindu...

The picture is real you morons! Future firmwares will be compatible with both PSP versions! What did you think? That the Slim was going to replace the previous one? If you don't know f|_|ck about dumping, programming or reverse engeneering then SHUT THE F|_|CK UP! And go ask your mommies to give you a blow^job before bedtime so you have a night without nightmares!

I'm really thankful that there is hope but for those who aren't and are being a b**** about it? Just because you can say whatever you want around here just makes one wonder where all the coders get there patience as to work on something that doesn't pay by the hour? Donations you say? with all these ungrateful idiots, u think they get any. attention hogs? b****es? fakes? well. how bout you f***ers do all the decrypting? the coding? the programmin for CFWs? let us see the glory of these no namers bsing thru the boards. or better yet, if ur gonna bs about some1 put up a name for us all to see who the REAL man who has yet to make his own homebrew!
I don't know nothing bout these but hey? opened a psp? first thing i see is a board with silicon chips with a usb drive, a lcd and lens and FW? software? (from the picture of the decrypted firmware) composed of folders that don't even ring a bell as to what they do nor what they are for. I'm no wiz on these, I'm thankful as to how i got a GBA emulator to work on my once ta82-board 2.6 psp. alll the thanks for all the coders out there for whatever downgraders and CFWs i used. For once I see why some1 like DA quit.

They were gonna keep it very secret but some guy made Mat angry and thus the hacking of slim.
He said its very easy and that he knows M33 will find out how DAX did it.
DAX just hacked this to test out Sony's new security upgrade because alot of people thought it was impossible.
