    I know they arent, i have one of their fine chips. I just meant another group talking BS before releasing anything if its the case that they lied about the pspx device.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,260 ✭✭✭Elessar


    Well, what we finally thought would happen, happened: PSP-Dev have quit and there won't be a downgrader (not that we ever thought there would be)

    "We want to announce that the colaboration between the two groups has been completly finished without success. We also want to announce that WAB has been disolved. The relatioship between the two groups were vanishing days ago (some of our members were banned from their server) and there is no progress with the colaboration.

    In addition, the downgrader project (never finished) is immediatelly cancelled (it is not an excuse, we can't explain our reasons, but are enough to do this)."

    I doubt Yoshi will continue working on anything. Thank God I just bought a 1.50 on ebay ;)

    None are, but there are a few randomers saying they have stuff working and Niacin is working on a buffer oiverflow exploit in the 2.0 browser. I'd say that for now his method is the best hope.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    so its safe to say its over.
    www.wab.com doesnt even work anymore

    Yes...yes you may :)

    I had planned on upgrading by the end of the month for NY, might as well just go ahead with it now. I really wanted to have VNC running on the PSP, would have made life, just that little bit easier ;)


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 6,525 Mod ✭✭✭✭dregin


    www.wab.com was taken down by the cops according to yoshi.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,195 ✭✭✭ondafly


    This ain't over yet :)

    PSP Updates


    17 pages, flicked through some, i think some one got 2.00 to go to 1.52


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,942 ✭✭✭Mac daddy


    WAB is gone,
    Downgrader cancelled.

    They couldn't get passed the third security feature without bricking a psp, but some others are working on a couple of other ways of doing it.

    The Theory From Psp hacks
    Convert the PSPe emulator into JavaScript. this way it can be run on the PSP. Then hack an EBOOT.PBP of the 1.5 update to read 2.1. and compile into an EBOOT.PBP again w/ KXPloit. You see, the PSPe emulator emulates 1.5FW, so it should work. From the PSP, run the web browser (1.51/1.52 update to 2.0) and go to the JavaScript emulator on the PSP. RRun it. Then run the "update".

    interesting...\o/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,753 ✭✭✭qz


    From the link:
    Don't update just yet; it's not finished.

    All that's been accomplished is breaking past the security clearance. They still have to figure out why PSP 1.5x and 2.0 read a different ELF than 1.50

    This isn't something that will be THAT hard to do (they had to do the same thing with 1.00 and 1.50 homebrew) but it is important to realize that they're not completely done yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,195 ✭✭✭ondafly


    well I upgraded yesterday to 2.0

    Browser is really slow, and doesn't have support for menus on boards (CSS ??), and seems to have very limited Java support. new video format is pretty excellent though, and its nice to change the background to something a little less dull.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    seems like anyone even trying to hack the firmware is going for 2.00 ,
    although the whole javascript thing sounds a bit far fetches since sonys completley limited its capability.
    thinking of ugrading myself, bad to hear the browser is actually slow. Is the video quality better ?

    Some sites are better than others on the browser. the psp only has 32mb of ram - which is very little for a mozilla type browser (which is what it is). Something like lynx might be more appropriate (in tandam).

    Is there really an improvement with avc over mp4? its definetly bigger...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,195 ✭✭✭ondafly


    lynx would be great, no need for pictures on the web on such a small screen. its all about the text. Which reminds me - I might turn off image downloading...

    I downloaded a tester video of emperor penguins from some IGN site about the new video mode. Picture quality is exceptional.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,135 ✭✭✭fifth


    They are going to have a really hard time creating a software 'downgrader'.

    If they can get a downgrader to run, why not just run homebrew on 2.0.

    I've been following this for a while and 99% of the claims are just total noob wannabees who want some fame, release a crappy video and disappear into the void.

    So...hard mod or software?

    I;d personally love to see a software hack but....... you know there's all that encryption.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,753 ✭✭✭qz


    Not sure how true this is:
    There's actually two new things (polar opposites, really) that have transpired:

    1) A new EBOOT.PBP that fixed the "shutdown after security clearance" problem, but still hasn't implemented the routing code that would trick the PSP from being in Update mode to Game mode (this is possible, but very tricky)

    2) Yoshihiro actually released a new beta version of his downgrader that gets all the way to the Version 1.5 update screen and DOESN'T FREEZE; now it just says "you're already up-to-date" If, and this is a BIG IF, people figure out how to trick the PSP into running the update anyway, we could have a workable downgrader.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    stop raising my hopes..... ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,248 ✭✭✭4Xcut


    Its quite simple. If they are able to hack the code to downgrade than we won't need to as we could run homebrew from 2.00. Do you think sony left it as easy as swappinmg a few files on memory sticks. No one has achieved anything because no afaik has broken their code.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,726 ✭✭✭kaisersose77


    Just have absolutely no hope for ever downgrading and if their is one then its something to get happy about ;) .The psp "scene" seens to be infested with 10 yr old americans who never get tired of BS'ing about downgraders or hacks. Take anything psp homebrew related to be BS until proven otherwise, and in most cases its BS. Its scary how far some of these americans go to, someone on pspupdates made up a friend he was working with on a psp shell program and then released a beta rar file which no one had the password to open. Teamxecuter were supposedly sued by Sony for hosting illegal files recently so if thats true I wouldnt have much hope for anything being released by them.

    If u want a downgrader, simply sell ur psp and buy this:

    anyway another day, another set of rumors.

    This time the hot topic of the day is a dashboard by a group called FreezePSP.
    This supposedly will work on 1.51+ firmwares. Not sure what exactly it does, but from what I gather it will flash your firmware via a usb connection (so its pc software).

    SHould be released in the next few minutes. See who has the balls to try it......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,260 ✭✭✭Elessar


    ^^ It's porn.

    There is absolutely NO way to downgrade the PSP firmware via software. It is impossible. Remember that the next time some 12yr old shouts "downgrader here!". The only hope for homebrew for 1.5x and 2.0 users is a modchip or the possible buffer overflow which people are looking into atm (not looking too great atm).

    There is one sure fire way for it though. Sell your 1.52 and get a 1.50 from ebay. That is, if you really need it. It has its downsides too though, some movies cannot be played on 1.50s even with UMD emulator's by-passes. Here's hoping this can be solved soon.
