It seems that ‘PspPet’ from Ps2Dev has created the first PSAR extractor.
This program also has the ability to DECRYPT certain PRX files from the PSAR (since 2.0 has a different encryption. this program will only extract the 2.0 PSAR and NOT decrypt it).
Here is a quote from the readme:
PSAR Dumper .01
A tool to help legal reverse engineering of the PSP system components.
Extracts the contents of the update data file, and saves them as
separate files on memory stick.
When it can, it will also automatically decrypt the .PRX files
(like the PSPSDK PRXDecrypter tool)Advanced expert tool.
NOTE: if you have never disassembled an ELF file before,
you probably shouldn’t be using this tool.Legal Note:
The files you download (ie. the updater EBOOT.PBP) and the files
extracted by this tool (ie. the contents of the OUT and OUTX folders)
are all Sony copyrighted material !!You can use them under certain “fair uses”.
Do not post these files on the Internet.Use this tool at your own risk!
The tool itself contains no Sony copyrighted material.
~~
Tested and works for the following PSP Firmware updates:
Old 1.00 “BOGUS” update
1.50 update
1.51 update
1.52 update
2.00 update **NOTE: for the 2.00 update, the ~PSP encryption is different. The OUTX folder will be empty.
This is great news because it creates many possibilities such as:
Ability to find new exploits
Better understanding of PSAR format
May lead to a windows based extraction tool
Possibilities of 1.5/2.0 Hybrid firmware
May lead to creating ‘custom’ PSAR files (eg. PSPLinux as main firmware [once it is written :p])
Better overall understanding of PSP firmware.

Update: Andy has released a new version of DJPS - v0.12a
Andy has finished developing his own MP3 player for the PSP and just emailed it to us - DJSP!
Supported features:
A note from Andy:
“It’s still quite unfinished. Hope you all enjoy it. I’ve been working hard for the pass month learning psp programming, reading up mathematics, having panda eyes to create this. If you have any questions, comments, etc, and I have time, email me”
The music has to be in the /PSP/MUSIC/ folder for DJSP to find it. Make sure you have at least one song in the folder.
Refer to the included readme.txt for further information and Andy’s email address if you wish to contact him.
Enjoy this fine piece of homebrew!
EuroGamer.net is reporting on, how all Sony PSP’s shipped for the September 1st launch will come with firmware version 2.0. With only a month until launch, I’m sure europeans will anxiously be awaiting a hack for the v2.0 firmware.
The PSP 2.0 firmware update is now available for download. Please remember if you decide to upgrade there’s currently NO possible way to downgrade back to 1.50 or any previous version for that matter. Version 2.0 will prevent you from utilizing any homebrew and/or loaders.
PSP 2.0 changes:
Network
Video
Music

Apparently a stand alone web browser has been released for your PSP. We have yet to test this ourselves; however, this is a direct quote from pspcrazy.com:
“After looking through the forums, i spotted delta-hawk and inja posted us some great links and info on the new tenchi no mon web browser(which btw is a great game :)). The links below are strictly for the web brower alone and not the games. One thing is for certain when you start using this browser you will not want to update to version 2.00 of the psp :). It loads twice as fast as the wipeout broswer due to loading directly from the memory stick. I edited this myself and added a search button enjoy!”
Download Techni Browser w/ Loader!
note: This is not the Tenchi no Mon game - just the browser.

Just copy the EBOOT.PBP file in the EBOOTS\V1_00 directory to your PSP/GAME/SUPERPONG directory.

Ceres
CERES is a classic space shooting game similar to the “Asteroids” arcade game, but has its own unique features. If you like the game please “HOLD DOWN LEFT SHOULDER BUTTON” when in the game, and make a monetary donation.
