d00d Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 First off, I am *not* instigating any sort of rumour that "omg homebrew on firmware 3.00 w00t!" When I heard 3.00 would have the ability to emulate PS1 games, I pretty much thought there would be something Sony would overlook, and would leave a nice big hole in the firmware. And alas, there appears to be a stirring in the PSP hacks world. Rumour: http://www.digg.com/gaming_news/RUMOR_firm...o_drop_tomorrow Then in a few hours: http://www.digg.com/gaming_news/PSP_Firmware_3_01_Released Like I said, this promises NOTHING. But my advice to those who regret upgrading their PSPs - DO NOT UPGRADE TO FIRMWARE 3.01. In fact, don't upgrade at all. Stay right where you are. The EBOOT.pbp files for 3.00 are still being hosted everywhere, so even if a 3.00 upgrade is needed you won't need to Network Update. Fingers crossed.

Durka Durka Mahn Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yup, and 3.01 and 3.0 have already been extracted, so in a few months we may see devhook running 3.01! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00d Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 But what I mean is homebrew capability. Why else would Sony release an updated version of the firmware in the space of 24 hours? Its all a basis for theories. So, hit me with some theories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudstrife992 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 there is something suspicious, i hope there is homebrew on 3.00 this also happened with 2.81 and 2.82. They said its for security reasons and large memory cards cannot be read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuch Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Within 24 hours? Someone must have been working very hard overnight! Hopefully something will be found enabling homebrew on 3.0. Fingers doubtfully crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingvercetti Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 3.01 is only in existence because the Japanese version of Jeanna D'Arc won't run on 3.00. Hope that clears things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellsMcK Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Like someone said on pspupdates.qj.net every firmware can be hacked into... its just a code. It may get more complex every time but it has a way into it. Ill post the quote when I find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm saying you're lying or anything, but would like a link for that =]. I doubt that anyway. Firmwares are just built over, they're not completely re written. Its like extending a house, you just build the extra garage or something, not knock the whole house down and start over. For this reason, I doubt one game just refuses to work. If that story is a Sony or a Sony affiliate release, I take it as a cover-up lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Freak-2001 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I don't see this as anything special and I don't think it means homebrew on 3.0 will come quicker then it usually takes for a new firmware to be hacked. It merely gives more hope that it will eventually be hacked and worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00d Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 The main issue with firmware releases lately was that the included minor new features, such as extra format support for videos and images and worse still - security fixes. The reason I thought 3.00 would be make-or-break was that it was introducing a huge new feature, remote control of your PS3 and PS1 emulation. Being such huge features, who says they won't leave a hole or two in there, considering how many we found in the earlier firmwares within hours of their releases? Maybe its just me being optimistic. No idea. I'm just getting my point of view across Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubs Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I do hope there is a hole, I updated my PSP then was reading about homebrew and felt like a total prat Seeing as I only got my PSP this week I thought I was doing the right thing. Everything crossed that they find a big hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinful Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Maybe they did, hopefully the devhook hax00rs can find some hole But... why is this in the VCS forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one of the first few posts is a link to update to 3.00 only (NOT 3.01). So for those who will soon update or plan to, I urge you to update from there, and search for this "hole" it could mean a better cheat device for all we know!

d00d Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Err...I don't know where to begin, mainly because I know nothing about looking for loopholes. If someone would be so kind to give a brief outline, that would be cool. But my advice is leave it to the experts. They've plowed their way through al firmwares up to 2.71 so far, let them keep going =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've plowed their way through al firmwares up to 2.71 so far, let them keep going =] they find an exploit usually after they make a devhook for it. (that is, if there is one ) luckly, one day after the release of 3.0/3.01 they were able to dump it. a new devhook should be released very soon. that is all i know about the whole exploit buisiness. (and feel free to correct me if im wrong, i havent been using homebrew for quite a while now...if you know what i mean ) also, i dont know if "loop holes" is the right words. thats something that you find in contracts .

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Yeah leave it to the experts like B00ster, Fanjita and all the other important people pushing homebrew forward. If you don't know how to find a loophole then you really shouldn't waste your time trying to learn as by the time you do the hole and exploit will be found.

Sable Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Yes, the only reason there is a 3.01 is because Jeanne d'arc wouldn't run. Here is a link Xtremepsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutuz Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 It seems that Firmware 3.00, released yesterday, has a bug and as a result Sony has released firmware 3.01 to correct this. According to the Japanese PlayStation Website the bug involves playing Jeanne D'Arc on firmware 3.00, which causes the PSP to crash during loading data from the UMD and does not return you to the game. Nothing else has been added to this new firmware update. You can download the update via the Japanese PlayStation site, as for the rest of the world, the update will be available soon through the normal channels. According to Sony, they're not gonna come out and say, "We made a security hole in 3.00" are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtaSanAndreasPlaya Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Is there any reason to update to 3.01? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Freak-2001 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Is there any reason to update to 3.01? ? Unless you want PS1 emulation which requires a PS3 to buy the PSX games then no there is no reason besides certain games requiring it. But then again since Devhook can now emulate 3.01 then there's no reason to update to 3.01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
