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.

None of it will be released to to the public, so tis best not to give people that impression.
bright future for psp slim??? hope so
FIRST!!! whoever posts under me gets my ***** full of sperm in there mouth and then BOOOOM. ***** psp.
whoa I wonder how he did this, there sure doesn't seem to be a 3.60 update eboot floating around...
It was more thanks to Alex than to me, he is the one that deserves credits Oh and we wont tell how it's been done, however it shows that hacking into the slim is possible with enough will http://tinyurl.com/2m5zm9
w00t
Sillly silly you. That just makes it more impressive. ;)
" None of it will be released to to the public" Really, says who? Either way, congrats Mathieulh and DAX, impressive work!
Hes the one who started off downgrading from "unhackable firmwares" as some people said and Dark_AleX Proved That they were wrong
There are probably some sad faces over at Sony HQ but everyone here is smiling. This is good news for people that are curious about buying the slim, but wouldn't because of no homebrew support. People like me. Maybe you too. 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.
first spam, woot! I beat the "I don't have time for an essay" guy. Ok, join www.c@shcrate.com/259295 (replace the @ with an A) to make enough money in less than 2 months for a slim psp. Woo hoo!
Sweet, so this means we can finally update from 1.50 to 3.60, right? 7roll |3417
no, me llamo Dark Alex. Yo no soy camino donde.
ppol are such A-holes. when sumtin gud happens they go crazy with THANK YOUs n shet......then sumtin bad happens......then those ppol becum shet themselves.....saying ***** DIS SHET....MADA*****IN B!TCH3S. All are unappreciating freakers.
As Math said in another forum 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.
i dont know exactly how they got it decrypted of course. but odds are they got this from the new daxter game that comes with the psp slim. 3.60 is required for daxter
Well, Dark_AleX is still in retirement technically 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 :)
Dude.. if there is someone who could amaze me is Dark_alex and the noobz team.. I will newer forget this history as long as I live! U are worth more than money.. its about begin successful in life.. doen something good.. And I tell u ... U have succeedd seriusly, Thanks so much to Dark_Alex and to the noobz team.. and ofcourse math . I would donate alot of money if I had a job.. but I only got money for a psp slim which I am going to buy.. Please continue the work! I believe all the ppl are really happy but they want to ruin like idiots.. I miss words for how amazing you guys are.. :)
Eh! Alejandro eres un ijo de puta tu no eres el berdadero Dark AleX . 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...
U RIGHT, MATHIEULH AND DAX R FRIGGIN ATTENTION WHORES! THIS IS FAKE!!!!ONEONEONELEVEN
They did mention Dax and everyone you just mentioned. So if you had read the article talking about the Pandora battery, you would have seen that.
Did you ever think that 3.60 might have been made for the normal psp too? 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 :)
you're an attention whore with attention herpes.
xDD Primeramente, se escribe Alejandro, y segunda, tu comentario no tiene sentido. You're not a way to? oO? y tercera, DAX sí está registrado, no como tu. :S wey.
what the hell man, we can do stuff witht he pandoras battery now, looooooooooooooooooooook! Not all is lost!
Yes, but the author of this article apparently didn't read that. Anyway, the article is changed now.
What the hell kind of arrogant ***** is this? "HAY LOOK WE CRACKED THE NEW PSP BUT WE WON'T TELL YOU HOW LOL!!!!!!!!!!!11111!1!" 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.
hey ya.. i was just wondering, will you be intrested in a ligit way of making money online?? your not going to buy anything! listen i don't want to waste your time writing up a essay.. but if you are heres a link to site which will show you to one of my favourite programs... with proof of payment ofcourse.. i jus thought ill share this with everyone here.. here is the link to a site that will give info about my favourite program : www.xrl.us/ccrate want proof of payment?? ofcourse you do.. http://img362.imageshack.us/my.php?image+check6xl2.jpg I hope you enjoy it as much as i did... xD [NO AGE REQUIREMENT, NO CREDIT CARD, NO DETAILED INFORMATION, AND YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE A SINGLE PENNY!]
what happened when the 3.50 got hacked?..yeah 3.51 and 3.52...they are just smart to not release it to public YET..HEll they will in the future just wait and see(stupid son of a ***** u aint even got or are planning to buy a slim cuz ur such a poor muthefurcker cnt who just talk sht)
I am buying the psp slim once they make cfw for it. DA with his cfw FTW
First of as a coder myself i can tell you how possessive and proud some people can be with their work. There's nothing wrong with that, in fact it should be respected. For the rest of you ******* who want to b**ch about this maybe if you had been a bit more supportive you'd understand but now you should be grateful for any sort of release and if you're not then go crawl under a rock because odds are without this there won't be another exploit for a loong time. 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
It would be pretty dumb to announce their procedure to dumping 3.60 when the PSP slim hasn't even been released everywhere yet. Sony could easily pull back shipments and bring out patched portables.
But this does not mean that the PSP Slim is hackable, only the firmware was. I don't think this is relevant to PSP Slim just yet.
I really would appreciate it if there would be a CFW on the Slim soon
com on ppl DAX nevr quit. join a psp irc chat ask team M33 about him. hes workin n thr group but jus a diff name. hes the 1 that cam up with m33 n the 1st place. hes makn cfw bt switchn names
God... Why didn't I think about that?! It's sooo f**king simple it's insane! It's like the thought of erasable pens! 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!
good im glad theyre crackin 3.60....... screw SONY right in the ass...... this is what they get 4 shyttin on people with that Warhawk download.......asswipes
for some reason I read that as It's like the though of erasable *****
Anyone notice IRDA.PRX?? the slim has no irda port.
It was only a matter of time. Don't you all get it? Dark_AleX spent so much time in the homebrew community that he became attached to it. He's like a homebrew smoker. He said he had quit. Then, 3 months later, he takes a puff, just to have the feeling of joy he gets by releasing something. Soon, it will be a public release. Then incrimentaly larger releases, each one larger than the last. He can't stop, not till the day the scene dies. Eventually, he will give in, admit defeat, and rejoin the scene to open arms.
This is wonderful news!
I'm willing to bet that the 3.6 is going to be for both psp's hence the ir prx. And wouldnt it be a good idea for them to wait for a while after the slims are being sold to release how they were able to decrypt the firmware so sony cant try to do any last minute changes to the firmware?
A dumped PSP Slim means many things (i believe). The Pandora Battery did not work on the PSP Slim. This is probably because Sony changed the flash location, and the IPL settings. Since the new PSP runs on a new motherboard, coder have to figure out the new code that allows you to get into service mode, so you would most likely need a PSP Slim IPL. Once the Pandora Battery is proven to run on the PSP Slim with its modifications, then all that needs to be done is a firmware hack which allows you to run homebrew.
Irda.prx is probably there because the new firmware still need to support all the old psp:s and they sure have ir-ports on them. :)
Coming soon, bricks for all the noobs. Enjoy, I can't wait to hear all the whining and *****ing Trust.
Isn't this how the homebrew scene began!? It's almost like we're reverting back to when the PSPs first came out! There's going to be guys to come along and become the Fanjita, Dark_Alex, and Math of the PSP Slim. History repeating itself!
"None of it will be released to to the public"? It'll Get Leaked Then :P Lol
LOSER
over www.pspfanboy.com there are some real whinassers crying a river over this. More should pay a visit to to rile them up a bit. It's odd one day andrew yoon is like a posterchilf for homebrew then on the next he is a postershild for sony. I dont think he should try to have it both ways I dont care if he is a so called pspfanboy moderator
When i read that, i couldn't help but smile. Dark_AleX is a psp HBscene legend. If he hops on board with hacking the PSP Slim, it will definiatley happen. It's wise that they are waiting to release this (if they even will) because we all know sony would do some gay ass patch and ruin it for all the rest of us that want a hacked US psp slim. Until then, DAX is Back!!.......(hopefully) ;)
This is good news for the Homebrew Community. Keep on keepin on with this, cause this is the hope, that will bring back the fun, that these guys says was almost lost. PS- F_U_C_K those playstation boards....OFW Using Hatin *ss *****es
Well Im glad the fw 3.60 is dumped and Im glad that Dark_Alex still working on The PSP scene ! Even if he is doing it at secret! SECRETS SHALL BE REAVIELES!! Dark_Alex and Math! Two genius UNITED!!
this is only a baby step to hombrew with the 3.60 firmware
ignore the person above me. Hes just trying to force every psp hacker to quit.
but i doubt he is back im sure he just couldnt resist
GET THE FU*K OUT OF THE SCENE DARK ALEX STUPID HAS-BEEN!!!!!!!!! WOOT!!!!! WOOT!!!!! WOOT!!!!!
Dude get a *****king life. Stop with this retarded crap.
You guys are so immature...
I know this is probably hoping for too much but, i would love a new oe cfw. If not DAX went out in his prime he couldn't be more sucessful in the homebrew community than he has already become. ---- Need some extra cash and an easy way to make it Check out http://www.freewebs.com/erict7862/index.html on my site you can see my payouts for the month proof of payments and much more.
Now that they have dumped this firmware they can get pandoras battery to work on the slim because the different encryption and stuff was the only reason it didn't work
DA is retired he only helped MAth becuase unlike most ppl he actually still trusts a few hackers out there. U pompus *****s need to shut up bout ***** u dont know. So what they didnt tell how to dump the *****. DA never truly released the source for his CFW. Ppl just need to shutup if DA wants to help those he trusts let him. If they dont tell us how they did this or that let em. Im surprised they even released this yea its a big breakthrew but they must realize how stupid ppl will treat this. Hopefully DA will comeback but with a lot of *****s out there(pandoras battey cough cough) He might resign to just helping the hackers he truly trusts. Good work Math and DA keep going at what ur doing
Good Job Mathieulh and Dark_AleX!! n thx.
Lol, the spammer couldn't spell 'you're' or 'funny'.

yeah. dark alex is back as everyone saw. Im dark alexes brother btw. and he has harassed me many times. I sued sony.!!! lolz. Dark alex is sonys apprentice on new evil techniques to brick psps.
Nice job! Someone, get this man a statue ^^
I guess old habits die hard especially for Dark_Alex?
lol, I was using my limited knowledge of spanish to make believe I was speaking portuguese, which is what I assume dark alex speaks. Yes, I know my spanish sucks, and that spanish doesn't equal portuguese, but hey, it was kinda funny, no?
How about closing PSPUPDATES down? Look at this stupid list of posts made either by retarded kids that are not yet old enough to speak english or by f|_|cking bots that are not controled by whoever runs this *****hole!!!!! 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!
yo mama funny!!!
Bounty hunter you're a retard. Fanjita and crew started downgrading "unhackable firmwares" and he worked on so many exploits that i aim *****ing annoyed right now that you think it was DA cause DA don't do *****tt
thanks in advance. thats all that is needed to be said right? 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.
Someone needs a cookie and a nap...
My short description is pretty much all that is needed so I'll put it up again. When will Sony release firmware 3.60 for us non-PSP Slim users?
Look Slim wont replace 50Cent so why would PSP Slim Replace PSP FAT/ORIGINAL FCK ITS 64MB and FCK ALL HATERS TO DARK ALEX WHEN HE MAKES A CUSTOM FIRMWARE OE-A ULL ALL BE ON IT SO BASICLY WE WILL RECIEVE UPDATES FROM SONY IS MY SPELLING WRONG WELL GUESS WHAT I DONT GIVE 2 FCKS ANYWAY WHAT MY POINT IS THEY CANT JUS ABANDON PSP FAT FOR SLIM AND LIGHT CUASE OF ITS NEW FEATURES THE ONLY REASON A SECOND RAM WAS PUT SO IT CAN MAKE GAMES LOAD FASTER *333MHZ* WITHOUT OVER CLOCKING IN OUR ORINGIAL FAT 1 WE CAN OVERCLOCK WITH OUR CUSTOM FIRMWARES SO BASICLY ITS THE SAME ***** IT JUS HAS A VIDEO OUTPUT MORE BETTER DESIGNED THATS ALL THE FKING DIFFERENCE AND 3.60 WILL BE OUT IN LIKE SEPT 10 SO JUST WAIT AND SHUT UP ABOUT ITS NOT GONA GET REALESED AND CRAP
I can't wait to get a PSP Slim Free PSP - http://www.gaming4free.com/default.aspx?r=885062
no
When I first heard this news I was happy but thinking about it I have come to a different conclusion. If Dax and Math want their hacking of the Psp slim to be kept private then they should have just kept quiet about it period. Everyone knows that there are lots of unknown talent in the Psp scene so Dax and Math informing us about the fact that the Psp slim is hackable is telling us something we already know. This makes me wonder if it was all just part attention and part ''hey look what we done but not for you''. If something is not to be released to the general public then it should surely be kept private. I respect these guys but it doesn't mean that they can't be wrong.
http://bestwikiever.wikidot.com/Dark_AleX Yeah here (http://pspguides.forum5.com/viewtopic.php?t=301&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=psp&start=15&mforum=pspguides) I noticed that too, I talk about how he could be involed and I said he was back or they just used his old work...
i know a kid that is friends with dax and he talks with dax on the phone... all he said was one day dax randomly called him n said dont expect to talk to me much no more cuz im basically hiding from the CIA... and i aint bull*****tin but this would be a great thing for the slim PSP
what cia doesn't da live in spain
Is that some dude made Mat angry on Maxconsoles and Mat accidentally let it out that he and DAX have hacked the PSP SLIM and to show him that hacking into the slim is possible and very easy. 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.
I'm glad you raised above them. : )
