3.80 M33 Released

January 14, 2008 at 2:20 pm

Dark_Alex has released that latest custom firmware for the PSP 3.80 download it now just copy to you Memory Stick “PSP/GAME/UPDATE” and run it from the xmb.

Requeriments:

- Installation requires a PSP with 3.52 M33-3 or higher. In the future installation using
panddra battery will be released.

Instructions

- Copy the UPDATE folder into /PSP/GAME/
- Get the 3.80 sony update from somewhere, and put it in same folder, with name “380.PBP”.
- Run it, the update will be done by Sony updater. At the end when you are asked to reboot the
PSP pressing X or O, do it.
Changes:

- HEN core: user mode can load now signchecked files from flash.
- recovery: flash1 format will create flash1 directories after format.
This could fix some flash1 issues with the previous versions.
- Network update from dark-alex.org page. By default is enabled.
You can turn it off in recovery (when off, network update will download sony updates as usual).
- Nids resolver for various kernel libraries.

Comments:

In 3.80 sony has changed (again) kernel nids. The nids resolver will resolve a lot of nids from firmwares 1.50-3.60
(traditional nids) to the ones of 3.80 kernel.
In general, 3.71 nids will NOT be resolved to 3.80 ones. However, to compatibilize 3.80 M33 with prx’s programmed for 3.71,
a few very 3.71 nids that were found in some 3.71 plugins will be resolved too.
More info about what is resolved in nidsresolver_status.txt.

Thanks to the combination of the nids resolver and the user libraries possibility in kernel mode added back in 3.71 M33-3,
some programs that stopped working in 3.30 M33 may work again now. One of them is PimpStreamer 0.90.

Finally, popsloader plugin from 3.71 will not work in 3.80 M33 due to its system dependancy. A new one will be rewritten for 3.80 M33.

PSP Custom 3.80 M33 Firmware being Developed

December 19, 2007 at 1:41 am

Over at lan.st a topic indicating the development of the 3.80 M33 custom firmware. there are also indication of perhaps a new psp model or hardware.

While working on the future 3.80M33, we found a VERY interesting string in the IPL’s playload: “/kd/pspbtcnf_03g.bin”

For those who do not understand here is a bit of history:

since 2.71 and especially in 2.80, we could see a string refering to pspbtcnf_02g which suggested the support of a new hardware or at least of a new operative mode. Later with the slim release we found out that the slim’s codename was this infamous 02g (proably standing for second generation) and that it used the _02g modules as well as pspbtcnf_02g
.bin. It means that they worked on slim firmware/kernel for months before the actual hardware was announced/released.

We believe it is the same with the 3rd generation hardware which they are now preparing for sure. Will it be yet another lighter (and pandora proof) psp or will it be the new psp phone ? Time will tell.

Its pretty much guaranteed that there will be a new custom firmware let just see if we get it for Christmas.

PSP Firmware 3.80 Dumped & Decrypted

December 19, 2007 at 1:31 am

The latest PSP firmware has been dumped and decrypted but there will not be and custom version yet Dark_Alex has posted at MaxConsole:

They have only changed the keys of the tables of filenames. The prx’s keys are the same than in 3.7X.
However, there is a little surprise in a form of new compression algorithm called KL4E, this time sysmem and loadcore are also compressed.
Plus… again new nids.

As soon as those have been sorted I think that we can expect a custom firmware release.
