That's a great piece of intel, it might become helpful in the near future ;)

Well the problem is that 1.50 fw can only natively play MP4 SP files and the mpeg4 SP codec sucks, the highest quality file encoded with the SP format at 480x272 takes a LOT of space (about 200MB for 30 minutes of playback) while avc videos would be even lighter than pmp files (xvid/divx muxed with ...

It's a great reverse engeneering job you've done here moonlight, Although it would be more interesting to reverse engeneer the way the psp play AVC files (while playing a pmf or a mps (UMD Video) ) as the psp uses AVC hardware decoding so it can play smoothly any avc file at 222mhz and probably in u...

Mainboard mod for 'Titan Base', my attempt to interrupt flash line: http://sec.pn.to/pw/?plugin=attach&pcmd=open&file=tapping.jpg&refer=Bases Wow ! That's what I call a real mess ! xD It must have taken hours to tear appart that poor psp mobo and wire it all the way. By the way Nem, do ...

Because it can be VERY harmful to your psp, however nothing prevents you from dumping fw parts and disassembeling those to take a closer look

I asked for this flame war to stop, but it seems you didn't get it so I had to reply.... This will be my LAST post on this thread so enjoy you will be able to flame me all allong... Now to answer you regarding the yoshi's MS loader, what yoshi coded in WAB has nothing to do with SXT. Finally yoshi g...

but also requires the use an extracted firmware (whitch is illegal) Not to add to flames here but unless i'm mistaken, the tif exploit downgraders use a file from the 1.00 firmware, so the 'psp-1006 and 1007' downgrader you offer on your own site is just as illegal. Now i may be just a "script...

Downgrader story section has been created because sonyxteam not only steal project but he say also that my downgrader can brick psp with false statistics. Unfortunately the statistics are not false, that's why we wanted to warn the users about it, since when offset writting has ever been safe ?? ht...

Here is an article I wrote about Fluff a few months ago on the SonyXteaM main page, I am sure you will then be able to see what kind of person Fluff really is: http://www.sonyxteam.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=23 Here is what Fluff aka naoneo wrote in pspupdates today: 3) I don...

Are there plans for releasing a version that patches the firmware so this doesn't have to be loaded every time? Great job though. This is a great idea. Saves some memory stick memory too. You can't do this unless you manage to bypass the IPL prx checksum (as unfortunately, loadexec.prx is one of th...

Moonlight, i've got a question regarding your hack. I have a PSP fw 1.0 and for now am very happy with it because it launches homebrews very fast (fw 1.0 in 3,5 seconds, fw 1.50 in almost 9 seconds!). Also I like using 1.0 PBPs (easier to manage) and no corrupted icon (i know these can be hidden on...

sceNand is used by the lfat driver and I would assume the lfat driver is used to handle the "flash0", "flash1" devices, no? Something interesting to look into: patch sceNand to redirect read/writes from internal nand to ms :) indeed that's a good idea, it might be also interesti...

I don't know about GAME mode, but I successfuly used the scenand API in VSH mode on 1.50 however it doesn't work on 2.00 probably because the scenand syscalls are not implented within eloader and that you can't use nids directly in 2.00 Also I am quite sure that the scenand API works in UPDATER mode...

I am looking for the 2.00 (and higher fw versions if possible) Scenand Syscalls if any of you know about those please share any intel here

Thanks.

I did, it works like a charm :) It even let you run kxploit eboots allong with the unpatched ones :)

The sources are also pretty interesting :)

It's really a good job ;)

Too bad it only patches the ram tough :/

This is what I call a great job ;)

I comfirm the updater ONLY "touches" the IPL, the flash0 and the flash1 areas.

Beside the "end" of the NAND (exclueding ECC) should be flash1 so no wonder it changes....

Never before have I seen a company with such insane file formats. Neither did I xD I suspect sony to use AES128+RSA(1024?/2048?) (AES is symetric and only using AES would be a major security flaw, however RSA decryption process is slow (unlike AES) so they would just encrypt the AES key using RSA (...

the updater is, however the Md5 used to state the eboot as valid (not corrupted) is not based on any key, it's just a special algo from Sony What's encrypted are the updater's data.psp (elf) and the updater's data.psar beside I don't see how the public keys stored in flash0:/data/cert can indicate h...

My mistake groepaz and Tyranid are both right, I disassembled umdemulator and all it does is patching a few kernel functions (inclueding loadexec) You're right groepaz I should have used my disassembler, I'll be more careful next time. However that also means that some vsh debug functions meant to m...

Well you can find several of the vsh functions meant to mount an UMD device hidden within the vsh_bridge.prx (at least in the retail 2.00 version where most debug functions weren't removed from retail fws I don't know why tough) by performing a brute force using a dictionnary. That's mostly what I b...

I agree it's really a shame :/ Just a little comment out of the topic: If anyone know (or has the slightest idea on) how to extract the psp.arch files please PM me, I am VERY interested. P.S. For those who don't know what a *.arch file is, don't even bother to ask, you don't need to know and you pro...

Thanks I'll try that ;) I thought that psardumper might not be able to extract the 2.60 psar because it was too big for it to handle, looks like I was right after all :) (I just didn't spend time in checking that theory) That's also good to know that the psar format didn't change, the only thing tha...

yes. lets however, just because i mentioned a runumd mod or whatever doesnt mean i support piracy. i buy my games, back them up and run the runumd mods, im not gunna wait for any updates to play games ive payed money on. also, if Yoshihiro created the 1st proof of concept games on the ms example, i...

You need the 3rd part called iplplayload The best would be to set psardumper to extract the files without the use of the ipl decryption routine to get the encrypted ipl as psp_ipl.bin Then use another app using the ipl decryption routine (you can get it either from psardumper or from Nem's infos) an...

I don't run iso loaders anyway as I buy all my games but I am still kinda pissed that I can't run the newer games on 1.50 because of that there are lots of games that I don't buy. Beside I don't like that people hex edit nem's run umd to run iso on their 1.50 because they don't want to buy the UMD.....
