The new PSP firmware 5.02 was just released an hour or two ago, and already it's been dumped. PSP developer SchmilK was successful in actually using Dark AleX's most recent PSARDumper. Full notes on SchmilK's progress are as follows:


Yesterday was also saw NewPSARDumper for 5.x that will decrypt the 3g files and works perfect with 5.02


Also in the f0 dump is found a 01-12-3G.bmp which can be changed to 01-12.Bmp and enjoyed by everyone.

Since there are PSN updates, I started looking at the NP files and I flashed a decrypted 5.02 version.txt and npinstaller_plugin.prx and woowoo im on the PSN using 5.00m33 :P


quick look at some other files... Paf.prx has 1 change.. the magic bit that says what file version it is: 0x00167c80


5.00 10000005

5.01 10010005

5.02 10020005


npadmin_plugin.prx the same at offset 0x00039EB5

npsignin_plugin.prx the same at offset 0x0000B0E1

npsignup_plugin.prx the same at offset 0x00047585

npinstaller_plugin.prx has LOTS of changes


vshmain has lots of changes And they are stupid...at the end of a string of hex data that is different the last 2 digits go from say 94 to 96....and that small jump in numbers is found ALOT like that :-/


We've yet to hear from Dark AleX if he's planning to release a CFW 5.02 M33 or some sort of patch. Question is, will he even be bothered to create one? Details on the OFW 5.02 are still sketchy - investigations on its full extent on "security updates" are yet to be seen.

While we're waiting for more info, if you're a homebrew dev, you might want to use this as an opportunty to check up on your application or game to see how it's running on the latest firmware - given that you've updated your PSP already, of course.

Thanks to dswforce for the heads up via comments in the previous article!

Wow... I hate sony and their stupid updates. They make cool products, but they dislike homebrew.



Let the playstation store free from everyone and stop bugging all of us. I'd like to buy games myself too! Stop annoying homebrew users.



Btw, Schmilk, you make nice themes!

OMG Gino, are you serious? xDDD



You're NOT going to be able to run any homebrew code on official firmware. Trust me.
