About .net.. I'm using Visual Studio .net 2003. I did some research. There are: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\ C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\ C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\ The first one has commons folder, but doesnt have msdev98. I created it and cre...

are u serious about changing the first line in the homebrew? No offense dude, but ... you could help out more by helping to figure out the differences between 2.0 and 1.5.. and maybe even code some... and if you coded some.. you would know that changing the first line in the homebrew wont do crap.....

The serial keyboard is a good idea, if such hardware is easily available. From what I have seen, it does not look like you could easily convert a PS/2 keyboard to be used with a serial port, because PS/2 needs a clock signal, so you would need an actual serial keyboard. Those could prove expensive/...

Good job. This opens the door for a homebuilt keyboard. Remember those keyboards that are used for the palm? They worked via the serial port.. Perhaps those can also be interfaced into the PSP and used with AIM/GAIM/other IM programs when those programs become availible. It's most likely possible to...

Read this one: http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=908&start=90 Its a different thread, but I talked about the serial port in that thread. Basically I concluded that for it to be 2 minutes uploading and 1 minutes on testing, then its ~2.6 million baud rate. This is based on information some...

Interesting... 'optimally, use LBAs to access if at all possible' 'multiple copies so that you can get the closest one' - Hopefully this will put a big snag in the warez0rs trying to run stuff from anything other than the umd. It may not put a snag in.. It depends on how the game developers code th...

It works because of the assignment order. It won't loop forever, but it is sloppy. i = i++; assigns, then increments. So it is the equivilent of writing: i = i; i++; Even if you wrote 'i = ++i', i would be incremented correctly. This is definitely a bug, but not one that actually /does/ anything. A...

Its a fact that there's a backdoor in the psp for restoring bad or empty flash data. I doubt it actually is jtag, however... but who knows? Hey nem, is it? :) It can be anything sony wants it to be. It can be a BIOS ROM that will listen for serial port commands from the headjack port or another spe...

I know that the information for 1.51 has already been posted, but reposting here so it can be compared with 1.50. bash-2.05b$ ./psp-psp-parser ./Unpacked150/UNKNOWN.PSP ============================================================================= PlayStation Portable PSP File Data ==================...

To compile on Linux:
-Comment out stdafx.h
-Change i = i++ to i++. Otherwise it will loop forever.
-g++ <name of file>.c -o <name of progra,>

I had to modify the code to get it to work so it wont loop forever..
But good job, it works and looks good.

Dont forget to look for JTAG connectors. They're used in many, many embedded systems now to recover from a bad flash and/or to program in the original BIOS/OS. Its possible that the PSP has a ROM bios, that will get the firmware from either the memory card or via a serial port connection (search the...

You have a great idea :) Definately prototype it first. You could also measure the current into the AC adaptor (be careful) - but keep in mind that you will end up with higher current than the PSP is taking - due to some slight energy loss across the transformer, loss due to heat, etc. Its best to t...

My first reaction is that its b.s. Then I looked at the quote again. "the consumer version of the PSP physically can’t process unencrypted code due to mandatory hardware AES decryption" Look at this part specifically: "can't process unencrypted code". JPG files and MP3 files are ...

raw read and rite is tomemory card is dissallowed by sony, all save data passes through encryption. So even if a developer wanted to read raw, tis not possible. might as well use crayons to get data into psp memory. all keys in hardware, no referene to them in software I would imagine to be safe Is...

It could be a possible exploit.. Theres no hardware decoder in the PSP that I know of, so it must be done via software.. In that case, if the PSP is showing gibberish or so, then theres something wrong with their decoder.. I.e. its not checking something right and reading back data from somewhere el...

You should know that Ohm's law has several variations depending on circuits - inductive, capacitor or mixed. Resistance can be active or reactive and so one.. From what I was taught, thats if calculus is used. In electronics, I was taught that its purely E=IR. Circuits can be capacitive, resistive,...

you mean U=I*R :) E=energy or something It depends on where you learn electronics. E stands for voltage, as in E=IR where I learnt it.. But can also use V=IR.. V=CR.. Because I = current.. Etc. Really the same thing, as long you know what the law is (Ohms) and know what each part of it is (voltage ...

I just ran a nmap scan on the PSP... nmap -sS -v -v -p 1-65535 <psp ip> - this was during network test mode. No ports found. Nothing founded except: (1) PSP is up, (2) MAC address is owned by sony. So either the Ports being found is: (1) A hoax. (2) Only while playing a certain game, which then begs...

Thanks. Its a bit confusing that your username doesnt appear in .eng format. I'll start analyzing this, and maybe I'll do the same thing (capture) of namco (if I get the game) or of another game to compare it versus your results. I like ethereal because it breaks down the protocols used within. Also...

ooPo, when you have the time, can you "share" a game between the two PSP's you have, and post an ethereal capture of it? I.e. export ethereal data as a Postscript file, showing all the data and detailed packet, etc.. Then use ps2pdf to convert it to a PDF. http://air.fireether.net/noah/PSP...

Are you sniffing in monitor mode? Try sniffing in ad-hoc mode, but join the network essid the PSP is trying to create: PSP_AULUS10002_L_ You can usually do this under linux by typing: iwconfig <interface> mode ad-hoc essid PSP_AULUS10002_L_ channel 6 All you're seeing the broadcast packets of the P...

friend of mine told me, he got the kingdom harts game for the GBA on his psp . all he said he did was put the file on his psp where games are. now i dont know what type of file it was or where he got it . but i know this much it can be done. Your friend could've downloaded the ROM and placed it on ...

In the act of splitting out backup/warezing related posts that hijacked this thread, some innocent bystander were caught in friendly fire, so I am pasting them back in here. My apologies. Settle down, people are going to warez no matter what, you do gooders cant stop it. Personally I look forward t...

you mean U=I*R :) E=energy or something E is sometimes used for voltage, as It can be used U or V. It depends on where you learn electronics. E stands for voltage, as in E=IR where I learnt it.. But can also use V=IR.. V=CR.. Because I = current.. Etc. Really the same thing, as long you know what t...

Ok, I got a couple of captures. In order to aquire the captures, I did the following: -Setted up a linux laptop with a D-Link 802.11g card, placed the card in monitor mode, setted up for channel 6 (same channel that I use for wireless network) -Setted up the PSP's adhoc mode to use channel 6 - it gi...

I'm a computer engineer, which is 1/2 electrical engineer and 1/2 computer scientist. My other question is: Theoretically, how many batteries can I hook up in parallel with this chip without damaging it? I'm assuming from my limited electrical knowlege that I would be able to hook up a great many ba...

From what I've read so far (quite a bit) and from my experience with other devices that use FLASH (i.e. linksys routers, embedded systems, etc).. I would strongly believe that the PSP uses a bootstrap. The reason is as others have said, it makes it alot faster to program and re-program the device wi...
