Alek updates: on Datel's Battery and 88v3 IPL

Posted Dec 1, 2008 at 12:20PM EST by Mabie A.

Listed in: Homebrew Development, News Tags: Datel, psp homebrews

As anticipated - and warned - by Alek and the rest of the gang at the Dark_AleX forums, the oober-hyped Datel batteries, the "savior of the PSP 3K", turned out to be nothing more but that: oober-hyped.

Says Alek (and we're quoting him verbatim lest there might be anything lost in translation),

... it's confirmed that this over exalted batter will leave 3K at least like the 88v3, just with a flashing light, a black screen and nothing but that LED indicator, as we announced.

Therefore, that (strange blue colored) battery won't work for you, instead "someone" makes a bypass for the preIPL thing that Dark_AleX explained [here]. (Considering that the preIPL on the 3K has the same security) Looks like D@tel was hoping that Dark_AleX hacked it, so only their battery could be available for the hacking process. Bad luck, guys.

Meanwhile, he also provides some updated on the 88v3 project:

Now onto the 88v3 IPL. You might remember [a] post from where part of the signing (there were 2 functions missing) was hacked from Brokencodes; so being as partial as it is, it would be interesting now to say, after reading about it on all the PSP-related webpages, that is NOT conclusive or definitely, so please, be aware that a "hack" for this couple of mobos might need further and longer study.

There you go. As always, keep it posted here for more PSP updates.

I personally found this funny, because Datel practically depended on Dark_AleX to find a way to hack the PSP 3000. Now if Dark_AleX can't find this hack the PSP 3000, then Datel may be sued by a lot of people finding that it doesn't work. Also, when Dark_AleX finds this out, he might rethink about looking for that exploit. Datel has been stealing sales for a long time now, and now they just got themselves in a bad position. Sweet, sweet karma.

Well this makes DA think about whether he should continue with his hacking so other major companies can benefit from them when it should be free.

# sucks, but not surprised — prime 2008-12-01 14:43

I knew both sets of news had that 'too good to be true' sense to them. If anyone is going to hack 88v3 and/or 3000, it's going to be DAX and his crew.

Now the question for me returns to buying one of the last Slims on store shelves (hopefully 88v2 or earlier) as insurance against my aging phat, or hold out for a future hack.

# sucks — MizuShinobi 2008-12-01 18:51

well damn, kinda expecting something like this though. guess its time to just sit back and play the waiting game

# i wonder — Aces In The Palm 2008-12-01 20:40

if its even a genuine service mode

does it get earlier boards into service mode as well

if so, then try a Despertar in a already hackable board

if no dice then its a good bet that it just illuminates power and does nothing else

# EPIC LAWL — nGoc 2008-12-01 23:10

datel.. a company that depends on hackers

# sorry, have to say this.... — Silver-Tiger 2008-12-02 02:08

What did you expect?!? Magic?

# actually — majorbb100 2008-12-02 09:58

i actually like it that datel does this. Because if i wasnt able to hack my psp with the 3.50 downgrader way back when, i would probably buy one of these.

# Why... — Achooist 2008-12-02 15:36

Why is it that people always say, "OMFG u can't do any better so don't haet!!!11!!!one!!!"

But they aren't now?

Is it because this isn't something that helps them?

inb4 OMFG u can't do any better so don't haet!!!11!!!one!!!

# really? — Aces In The Palm 2008-12-02 19:58

why wouldnt you use a pandora and despertar del cementerio

you could of hacked your PSP anytime you wanted without booting HEN mode

# Statement — Acteon 2008-12-02 23:31

I think we need a statement from Datel about exactly what this device enables the PSP to do - I notice that they've changed the blurb on their website to remove any reference to installing CFW.

I think it's scandalous that they can sell a tool that relies entirely on the goodwill of the hacking community to have any worth whatsoever.

# » — DSpider 2008-12-03 04:14

I highly doubt anyone can sue them (well, maybe except Sony). Can you imagine how that would look in court ? :)) Buying a "tool" used for modifying the Sony firmware signature... A tool which by the way, costs what ? $30 ? Suing someone for 30 bucks... Typically American ? ...

# well — qwerty2626 2008-12-03 08:02

if his psp isn't hacked and he doesn't know anyone with a hacked psp, then how could he get a pandora battery without buying one.

# Datel... — CrunchyYoshi 2008-12-03 11:15

Are you serious? Wow, they're really greedy. D:

# exactly — majorbb100 2008-12-03 12:31

i didnt know anyone with a hacked psp, so that was my only option, and if i would have been at 3.51 i wouldve bought a battery from datel.

# ....... — GLO13AL_T3RROR 2008-12-05 08:07

Datel is a greedy prick!
