PSP-Devolution pushed back to May 18

Posted May 13, 2007 at 2:49AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Hacks & Exploits, Mods, News Tags: modchip, nand, Sony

More bad news for the folks hoping to get their hands on the PSP-Devolution "modchip". It seems the sale of the PSP-Devolution chip has been delayed for another week. The current ETA for for the PSP-Devolution is scheduled for May 18, 2007.

For those who haven't heard of it, the PSP-Devolution is more accurately termed a "USB-JTAG Programmer for a lot of NAND FLASH ICs". One of its abilities, which is definitely the thing programmers and savvy PlayStation Portable (PSP) owners are watching out for, is that it can supposedly downgrade any Sony PSP, regardless of firmware type.

In any event, folks will have to wait for the 18th to hear word of this new piece of tech. In the meantime, you may want to save some cash, as the USB-JTAG Programmer will set you back US$ 75.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

# I plan on buying too — aNILEator 2007-05-12 22:57

I'm planning to buy too (UK) but want to see other's reactions first, some better install diagrams/photos and stuff, also what their advanced BIOS features are (if they make them)

# ITS HARDER THAN UP! — Guest 2007-05-13 02:07

Buy UP! the DEVOLUTION installation is harder than UP!

i saw the tutorial on their website...

# modchips?! — Guest 2007-05-13 04:37

MOD CHIPS ARE STUPID.

# Bricking is stupid — aNILEator 2007-05-13 05:48

My PSP bricked RSOD'd when I inserted a UMD Disc and pressed X, that's stupid and I want to being that unit back to life.

Devolution + original white case + less £'s than new PSP

# Hard but not as hard — Guest 2007-05-14 03:22

UP requires a heck of a lot more soldering than Devolution.
