im the first to say dont upgrade to 3.02!!
Первый нах!
i wonder if it can be dumped and decrypted as the last 2
yup it can
Looks like Sony is mad that Booster is a better coder than they are >.>
Hey, BOOSTER! The new firmware is waiting to be emulated because nobody wants to update! XD
it can be already
Ugh, another firmware to get cracked… Sony sure is wasting time…
Tsk, tsk sony. Won’t you ever learn? it’s a war you Just can’t win. Unless people like BOOSTER stop contributing to society. Do I smell nobel prize? LOL
@9
[sarcasm]Hmm, yes i trust you completely[/sarcasm]
You can compare that file with the 3.01. All I did in hex editor was change 3.01 to 3.02
so just rename it
Damn, Sony isn’t wasting any time huh? I think we should wait and hold out for a bit until we see what else Sony has up their sleeves, seems like they’re releasing weekly updates now.. WTF?!
No matter, Dark Alex, Noobz, & BOOSTER are a unstoppable team. :D
you know, you CAN emulate this via DevHook already
I am running it right now
when you use the 3.02 dump, does it display 3.02 in system information in dh emulation?
Yeah it says 3.02 in system settings
wow..that was quick..
let see how fast the firmware 3.03 come out.. i say around a week..
I was impressed by booster on emulating the 3.01, since i thought the reason for 3.01 release is to correct the bugs in 3.00…However, booster simply emulates the 3.01 instead of working on 3.00. Booster pwned Sony, and 3.02 would not be a problem.
Man, Sony is constantly failing over and over and over (repeat 28590 times).
ok im not a psp noob but more of a homebrew noob. can someone explain to me what a devhook is?
Devhook 51 is use to emulate 3.01-3.02 firmware if you have 1.5 firmware. Using Devhook, you can easily play games that require later fw update without permanently loosing your 1.5 fw. I hope this is clear enough for you to understand.
it works on devhook, it still have the same functions of 3.01fw
Who the hell cares about this firmware anyway? It’s not like any game will ever require it, and there are clearly no real features. Even if it couldn’t be easily cracked (which it was), it wouldn’t be worth doing.
Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill.
If 3.02 has no new features then it’s another failed attempt for Sony. What’s next 3.021:0
OMG I cant beleive some of the comments here. You guys really beleive sony released this to stop the cracking? It is more than obvious they are realising new FW every week cause of PS3. Improving compatibility with PS3 all the time.
how do you know “sony” isnt making it easier to crack?
ThIs update r0×3r i am SOOOO gonnna UPDATE Screw you homebrew!!
LMAO i would never do that…
I wish sony never learn and keep on making updates so we can use new features like web browser in 2.X firmwares , music equalizer and many new features in 3.00 By hack them Hahaha
I guess the update history will just writes:
(v3.02) A security patch was added to address security vulnerabilities in the system software.
I don’t this this’ll bring any trouble to the homebrew community LOLx.
I wonder how many security patch can they make throughout these updates… … Perhaps it may end when the Flash storage reaches maximum.
Is there a downgrader for this fireware yet???????????
only if they made a devhook loader for 2.8 that sure would be a nice christmas present,emulating 3.01 from 2.8…the day that happens*sigh*…*daydreams*
omg thats so stupid. why would u upgrade. its just a security upgrade.
lets hope that booster will not go to the dark side …..
Sony……. The Devil!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Only one thing to say for Sony ” When you can’t bit the enemy. Join him ” Sooner ore leather the same thing that append to Nokias N-Gage well append to Sony PSP. They simple stop trying to protect the firmware. I have my N-Gage and my PSP side by side. The cranking that I see on my n-gage tells mi that these well be PSP future
nice, PSARdumper 3.00 dumps it, so it’s decrypted and can be used very soon ;)
I wonder why everybody is so negative about Sony. Thanks to this corp. we have the mighty machine that keeps amazing me. Obviously they have faith in a successfull future for the PSP otherwise they would not be so active in spending money to improve it. We can only benefit from their efforts. Thanks to the active inspiration of some wizzkids we can benefit alongside without being milked by Sony.
But basically I am very happy with Sony. I now have a very nice toy that keeps getting better and better…
YOU CAN ALREADY EMULATE THIS FIRMARE!!! YOU JUST HAVE TO HEX-EDIT DEVHOOK 0.51 AND CHANGE “3.01″ TO “3.02″ AND MOVE THE DUMPED FILES INTO P:/DH/301/.
OR JUST PUT THE DUMPED FILES INTO “P:/DH/301″ AND START EMULATING … “3.01″ (3.02 -.-)…
HAVE FUN!!! ;)
@ScorpionPhilipp: I think the actual update is more than just putting 3.02 instead of 3.01 on your screen, because that is what you are doing with your hex-edit suggestion. I’m not sure this is what emulating is about…
Advice to Sony: Support Home-brew, it’s gonna happen anyway..quit wastin your time updating the PSP with useless updates and get to workin on the PS3 games. I’ve heard alot of bad things about the PS3 as far as games!!!
@sAintJimmy: I couldn’t agree with you more… The profit should be in selling the PSP. I’m sure when it standard supports homebrew, a lot more people will buy it. By the economic laws of supply and demand they don’t have to worry about dropping prices for some time then…
no hexing need at all need
K:\dh5beta\menu\menu_fw.txt
and add this
!firmware 3.02(MS or flash+MS)
REBOOT_PATH=”flash0:/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f0;ms0:/dh/05″
BTCNF_PATH=”/kd/pspcnf_tbl_dh.txt”
FLASH0=”/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f0″
FLASH1=”/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f1″
I tried this method to the T and I’m still at 3.01. Any ideas?
Sony wont support homebrew because they know some idiots upgrade without bothering to look at what the update is “oh update, I NEED TO BE COOL WITH NEWEST FIRMWARE!”
never upgrade untill you go online and see what the update does
sure, you can emulate this in DH, but theres no weal point to it since theres nothing new to it, unless you want to boast saying “i use Devhook to emulate the NEWEST firmware”
as for those who dont know that Device Hook (Devhook for short) is, its basically a PSP emulator FOR the PSP
I totally agree with #34!
Without Sony´s PSP we wouldn’t have so much fun!
hey guys??
what’s the point in the emulation of 3.01 & 3.02??
or you just want to emulate the security updates?? :D
I used DH to have browser and rss,
now I have them all in 2.71SE..
emulating 3.0 is pointless, unless you want to use the psp camera, or have a PS3 for PS1 emulation.. lame..
… or play Metal Gear Portable Ops (Which won’t work on your SE, by the way).
Yeah Totally Lame :/
Can i use PSAR Dumper that i used for 3.00 and 3.01 on 3.02 ?
steps to add firmware 3.02 to your psp devhook 0.51 beta installation:
1. create a folder with the name 302 in your memory sticks /dh directory
2. copy the f0 folder from 301 of the original devhook 0.51beta into /dh/302
3. know copy your dumped f0 folder over to /dh/302
4. copy the f1 folder from /dh/301 to /dh/302
5. open the file /dh/05beta/menu/menu_fw.txt and add the following:
Code:
!firmware 3.02(MS or flash+MS) REBOOT_PATH=”flash0:/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f0;ms0:/dh/05″ BTCNF_PATH=”/kd/pspcnf_tbl_dh.txt” FLASH0=”/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f0″ FLASH1=”/dh/302;ms0:/dh/302/f1″
6. save menu_fw.txt
7. fire up devhook and enjoy the addition of 302 firmware in firmware selection.
When you have the original f0 from 0.51 in a folder and then you add the dumped f0, doesn’t the dumped folder just replace the original because the have the same name? I tried following your instructions, but I’m still at 3.01.
@39, do you have to write to the flash again as well?
i have update and i have tunning me psp.works nice with firmeware 3.2
DOES THIS EMULATION WRITE TO THE PSP’S FLASH ONLY ONCE WHEN YOU INSTALL OR EVERYTIME WHEN YOU LAUNCH DEVHOOK?
can anyone confirm if 266 or 333mhz works on this
YES 266 AND 333MHZ WORK, BUT TO USE THE WIFI, IT NEEDS TO BE IN DEFAULT MHZ
you choose to write to the flash1
but then, flash1 is rather safe to write to, and in fact changing the settings in the XMB writes to flash1
dont worry about it, Flash0 is the one that worries people
Sony Has To stop releasing crackale firmwares. They are wasting the developers talent time and money
hEY GUYS IT SAYS THE DEVHOOK CAN BE EMULATED USING THIS NEW FIRMWARE SO DOES IT WORK HAS ANY 1 TRIED IT ONLY ASK BECAUSE IM STILL STUCK AT 2.80 AND YOU CANT RUN PSP ISO’S ON THE SO CAN YOU DO IT BY USINF DEVHOOK ON 3.02
what i mean to say is can you run iso’s using devhook on this new firmware 3.02
#53, yes you can
i tried to use 266/333 on iso games on 3.01 but the game wudnt loadup it wud lag out and turn off ..
#55, just go back to you original FW, rebbot you psp, turn it back on, and go again on DH but this time set it on the CPU CLOCK 266/333 and choose the iso. once it loads go on the umd game and it should work. dont change it from the menu That shows up from the XMB
sony has some balls with this firmware Sh!t
im not suprised but i know some one who works for sony(my sister). they are considering relaxing the homebrew restrictions.
tell sony that that would be a smart decision, homebrew’ll sell psp’s better than the games will
you are all noobs and you will go to hell you fags fags go to hell die b!tch die
if i try 2 dwngrade my 2.80 psp wiv a 2.71 dwngrader will anyfin bad happen
No man, you can downgrade no problem, go ahead and try it.
u cant downgrade 2.8!!!! i have 2.8 and u cant downgrade it. although the eloader is cool. i like DOOM the best.
so there’s no new functions listed for 3.02 anywhere besides some sorta security???
58— hey why dont you and your sister come over to MY place, I’ll show you my PSP if you show me yours! OH!!!! GIGGITY GIGGITY GIGGITY!!!
So if we were having the same conversation, except with wiis, and we were both guys… would you be turned on q man? sorry, just had to say it.
@55
Sony should have done that a long time ago.
The problem wif sony is that they are trying to be a luxury brand (higher price,higher quality games).Their constant security updates is just for the purpose of getting money from new users(those who bought new psp and those who can’t downgrade.)What keeps the new users from paying is that they are at a platform where is that cant access to homebrew applications and they cant wait for homebrew.So some users will keep buying games and upgrading reluctantly.
The tragedy is that all this security has prevent homebrew users from spending $$. I mean right now besides from getting a bigger memory stick, i can’t pretty much buy any psp games cause of the firmwares upgrades and stuff even if there are games that i want to purchase.
If sony could just charge certain aspects of the psp but not the games, i think they would have earned more $$ since they are prob losing make more security upgrades than getting the revenue from the minorities who could buy games and play on their psp.
i mean @58 sory for post
I think sony corporation will buy BOOSTER one day, because he’s a real genius and he can be so useful to them. Don’t be so positive guys.
As somebody said: “THE DARK SIDE”.
ok, how tf does 3.02 have anything to do “booster” ?
also i find it hilarious that sony doesnt doesnt change things enough between updates to stop the psar dumpers and the firmware emulations.
last, mm i love devhook homebrew and all the things that makes the psp all that sony wishes it wasnt anymore.
I guess i’ll wait to see if this is needed before i go and mess around with it,,, i just got to 3.01 a couple days ago. IF MGS needs 3.02,,,,, i’m there baby.
You guys are wrapped in your own little hacker world though…… HONESTLY, what percentage of PSP’s are hacked…. probably about 10%,,, if that….The majority of PSP owners (little kids or what have you) have no idea that a PSP could even be hacked. I hacked a friend at works PSP and he had no idea that such a thing could even be done. Now he thinks it’s about the coolest thing. Most people when buying a PSP (i.e. the parents buying one for little johnny this weekend at best buy for xmas) have no intention of ever even imagining of possibly hacking the thing…. Little johnny may if he’s savvy though, but the majority of people out there ARE NOT SAVVY.
I don’t think that these updates have anything to do with us, and sony isn’t losing all that much because of us. These updates are most likely b/c of the PS3.
If sony was losing too much on PSP, they’d abandon it instead of develop features for PS3. THey’re obviously headed in the right direction concerning our PSP futures.
I got a sony future prospectus thingy in the mail about the ps3 that outlined the future compatibility between the two, and it talked about it being a radar mapper, rearview mirror for racing games, PS3 controller,,,, etc etc…. it said to wait for further developments. It’s possible that MGS is waiting to come out b/c of all this updating also. Many people may not be able to play it when it comes out briefly b/c they didn’t know they were 3 weekly updates behind.
They’re getting them more in sync….
Relax.
If an ultimate installer comes out, i’ll go that route for this,,,, i’m lazy like that. Not much reason to do this yet though.. BUT I”M GLAD IT”S HERE
Forget it Sony!!! Every Firmware you bring out, will be cracked. You can’t win this fight against booster. Booster is a much better programmer, than all workers at Sony together.
Booster you’re the Best!!!
sorry can anybody help me
can i use this on my 3.01 psp?
please tell me i need help
sorry im a lezzie with a gf :P #62 but my sister is fat and ugly
OMFG I UPDATED MY PSP TO 3.02 !!!!
hahahah just kidding :D
Wait a second. It is NOT CRACKED or HACKED. It is just decrypted & emulated. No hombrew seem to be running on it as of yet exept ISOs, which are not homebrew.
u guys dont understand or what? U CAN USE DEVHOOK TO EMULATE 3.02!! just like the other firmwares……. and its REALLY easy to install just use ur tiny brains…
thnx ERIC ill try that out , im sure i have but also i like to mainly use 333 tbh

greetings skafa
how did you get devhook 3.02 working send me the whole thing in .rar or .zip and i will give the full version of psp moive creator i would make the deal on msn adamcaron3.14@hotmai.com
I followed the instructions exactly as post #44 by c0r but when i try to load 302 it says devhook cant be started, any help
Someone please post a more detailed explanation on how to install and run firmware 3.02, i am currently running on 2.71 SE-C
ok ill head
over there right now ill bring some beer..
Well, gAys, I’m SCE CEO & the next firmware 4.00, which will be released by 1’st Jan 2007 will allow loading unsigned code from MS, as well as it will allow loading ISO files of PSP & native unmodified ISO files of PSX without any certificate.
I’ve come to this conclusion watching Dark_Alex & Booster ruining all out efforts.
So, let it be.
Also I’ve decided to hire them both as team leaders for developing new PSP & PS3 firmware.
ur kidding right? wat would the CEO of sony corp be doing here?
if u are serious tho, good decision im stuck at 2.8 right now.
update, i was able to run 3.02 when i make it the 301 folder, anyone know how i can run 3.02 from the 302 folder, thnx in advance
somehow now everytime i start devhook .51 it goes straight to fw 3.02 like a autorun, how do i stop this?
i think you all are .. well .. stupid.
Sony is a company who thinks of there publishers and thats why they make new firmwares to stop piracy. If there was no piracy the games would be cheaper and firmwares hadent come every month for security updates.. am i right or am i right?
Stop with your naging, if you dont update.. then.. WHY DO YOU CARE!? ” oh sony is trying it again.. bla bla bla.. ohh come on sony stop it ” oh my god im tired of hearing that….
theres no reason to download this unless you PLAN to use your PSP in conjunction with a PS3
and even then its likely to not be required
its a security and probably a fix with PSP-PS3 combination features
if you dont know how to run this firmware on devhook, dont bother, your not missing anything new, and it will save you alot of time and trouble on trying to figure it out
i just seen a video on you tub that 3.2 has been installed on dev hook allready http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iRWR18UAY4
OK guys i have installed this in Devhook and have it running… just do everything as u would with the 3.01 instruction… as there is no 302 folder i stuck it in the 301 folder and it works just fine
there is an auto install for this now on http://www.qj.net I have it up and running.
is there way to load the 3.01 firmware via the memory card and not to the flash? is there a package out that does everything?
Thats the JAPANESE EBOOT, Not the US EBOOT.
mgs does not work on devhook 51 with 3.01 or 3.02 get to choose easy or normal screen goes black
Um… I’ve been playing it for the past hour :)
Youve got to change the SFO version to “force 2.00″
i got the error that file is corrupt press 0 and reset to default you know the screen that you get when you downgrade to 1.50
i just got done playing mgs steve so i dunno what your talking about im usuing 51 devhook
should i prees o or not will it upgrade me to 3.02 if i do
well i did it! the visual player is pretty cool. anyway i had a 2.80 psp with an un-patched motherboard(non TA-082) but i got tired of wiatong for the downgrader. so i just updated. lets hope someone can come up with a downgrader for this firmware!!!
well i did it! the visual player is pretty cool. anyway i had a 2.80 psp with an un-patched motherboard(non TA-082) but i got tired of waiting for the downgrader. so i just updated. lets hope someone can come up with a downgrader for this firmware!!!
well i have 2.8 and iam paitently goin to wait for hackers (u 2 booster ) to create a downgrader so i can use the IRShell…ill get my bro to upgrade to 3.02 ….hahaha
malcolm. are you certainly kidding me? what makes you think a 3.02 downgrader will come out before 2.8?? wow for some sprialy things just to give up homebrew. i think u get the dee dee dee award this time.
my bro updated its pretty cool the new version but i like the irshell more
i think the upgrade is really for those who have a ps3 cos it has the connect to ps3 option…and probly more security but eh i dnt care
hey guys, i have a question.. i didnt read the rest of the comments so plz dont get mad, but i was wondering, can i now run devhook on psp fw: 3.1 (TA-082)
No u cannot u idiot.
AND WHY WOULD U ASK THE SAME QUESTION OVER!!!!!!
ROOKIE
Anyone know what contain the update in socom 2 when connecting to the multiplayers? And anyone knows witch file contain the wireless seting , im tired to reenter it when formatting my ms??
I want to be sure i’ts not a way to update
to 3.02
lol 2.81 and 2.82 where the most secure firmwares they made
will there be an eloader for 2.81 before you can downgrade it?
Is there a way i can get it to have a funtion that will let me return to my FW 1.5 like 0.46 did ???
press the home button to bring up a menu to exit devhook.
sad
What’s the easiest way to clear out/format your flash on your PSP? Upgrade to a newer version?
Sony will never give up eventually you will have to update upon connection of the psp system, including connection for upcoming games.
can you use this method to update the usb mod for devhook to ply higher firmware games of your comp
fuck upgrading
im on 2.80 should i upgrade i wont to play iso’s using devhook so what should i do?
get the 2.71 downgrader and run it, it will work perfectly!
ok il try that
yer that kinda didnt work it says your suppose to have a red screen then it installs 1.50 then you switch the power on and you got it but no when i go on photo it freezes the red litle blinks then goes off i switch back on and i still got 2.80
it will brick it but if it worked tell me on here im@
2.80 saame as u
Can devhook emulate 3.02 instead of having to upgrade and then using devhook? Also who knows if there will be a downgrader any tim soon for this new fw release?
there ent a downgrader for 2.80 yet so cant see 3.02 being out for time.. as for joey soz mate looks like were stuck until sum 1 finaly crackz a downgrader for 2.80 i did try it with 2.71 it dnt brick the psp just resatrts a snormal so no luck with that (crazy town) the person who sujested it must be just pissing about
I ran the 2.71 SE chaosezero installer on my 2.80 PSP perfectly
where aboutz is it on this site and il try it what can you do on it
ok i got it and ive installed it but when you run the 2.71 se-c on your psp it loads to psp screen then shuts off dnt do anything so how did you run it on ur 2.80
Be careful with these devhook things, on the very last version of devhook that only supprorted up to 3.01, I almost bricked or semi bricked my PSP. My ACTUAL flash1 got corrupted just simply from pressing the “Start Devhook” button on top. It had been working fine previously, until all of a sudden in this instance, it quit back to the actual flash XMB and showed the blue screen of death that Flash1 was corrupted. Thankfully it was properly reflashed, and it deleted the devhook files from flash1. It was still able to run with full functionality without the flash1:dh files.
Now im using the 3.02 devhook. Works like a charm. MAKE SURE you use the devhook easy installer. Makes your life a hell of a lot easier.
Running 2.71 SE B” with the good old flashed MP3 Plugins
shoud flash1 be 0 bytes because thats what mine is and i did the dumper with 3.02 idid the devhook with 3.02 and wrote everything but its still not even coming on what am i doing wrong someone please tell me
where do i get more visulations with 3.02?
you can’t, you’re stuck with it, until ppl do mods for it. just wait a little, i bet somebody’s on it already, it’ll be great if we can port the winamp visuals on to the psp.
:O great idea! i never thought about that. ^^
my next project :)
Akbar
ak
now this is it ^^ cheers booster for this devhook
hey.
