Firmware 3.30 Decrypted!

greg | March 31, 2007

This was emailed to me no more than 10 minutes ago — Team C+D’s 3.30 PSAR Dumper, responsible for dumping & decrypting Sony’s latest 3.30 firmware!

You know the usual routine by now: Sony releases a new firmware strengthening security, shortly thereafter it’s decrypted by a talented team of hackers, and perhaps — just maybe — a custom firmware revision will follow. Until then, keep checkin’ back — same Dashhacks time, same Dashhacks channel!

Thanks Mario!

Can’t you guys see that this is part of Sony’s strategy? Instead of spending quality time making best features out of PSP, they’re just simply making a patched security updates with every new version. Users would just trade in their existing console for the new version then downgrade it again - in which i find this pretty pointless. Why not they just released a final version of what everyone wants instead us of having to rely on the unauthorised Firmware hackers.

And if you’ve already gone ahead and updated to 3.30, then you are officially screwed for a few months.

WTF are u talking about Chipx!? If Sony never released this update there would be no 3.30OE-A! So u should thank sony u stupid asshole!

2007-03-31 00:49:09

@zachary
If you are already using a CFW then you don’t have to. But we have to wait for the new CFW first. Cheers!

^_^ who said the psp scene was dead? Glad to see things working as usual. Honestly, it almost seems like a team effort. Between Sony and The Scene. Sony release a FW and The Scene revises it to bring out the best. :)

hopefully DAX can make a 3.30 OE soon. and i really hope that resident evil 2, mushashi and final fantasy 8 will work cause i wana get back to uploading psx games.

Comment by piewackete

tHose games 4 me already work fine in 3.10oe A’

Comment by gta2800
2007-03-31 20:44:32

resident eveil 2 still crashes at the entrance of the police station, so i don’t know what your smoking. and the NTSC version of musashi still crashes at the beginning. however you can make it work by changing the NTSC version into a PAL version, but it leave the screen all fucked up. and final fantasy 8 does workand all, but its really unstable, theres so many boss fights you cant beat because it randomly crashes. so i want all these games to work flawlessly without changing versions or anything.

2007-03-31 03:24:32

you can’t you have to downgrade to 1.5 and then wait for dark alex to finnish his custom firmware. and to gta2800 sweet psx eboots (not going to mention the site) didn’t doubt a second about the decryption, now good luck dark_alex,
(don’t forget Strmnnrmns Daedalus R10 (n64 emulator) is releast this week)

Comment by blastermaster728
2007-03-31 16:42:29

1. Don’t say “like” on the internet, that LIKE makes you LIKE sound like a LIKE retard. (notice I didn’t CAPS one of those “likes” cause then it would say “that makes you sound a retard” which in itself is retarded…) anyways…
2. Custom Firmware is basically, a souped up version of Firmware 1.50, because it can run most of the latest games, and you can run your own .iso and .cso files from it with simplicity, rather than using devhook, your games show up straight in the XMB menu.

Well guys just be very very careful if you must use a CFW, in the UK the police are doing random stop and searches for drugs, weapons and psp’s with CFW on them. And anyone caught with a CFW face court or they can pay an “on-the-spot” fixed penalty of 120 pounds and their psp confiscated. This happened to my nephew and his dad had to pay his fine. So be careful guys thats all im saying, wouldn’t it be good if there was a way to disguise the fact you had a CFW?

Ill go though it

First I Put The Whole Folder “PSARDUMPER330″ into the game folder

I Used The PBP Unpacker To Unpack FW 3.30 and put “DATA.PSAR” into F:/ making the location “F:/data.psar”

Then I Unplugged My USB and ReStarted My PSP then went to game and loaded PSAR DUMPER V3 and It said “game could not be started”

I’m Runnin FW 3.11 doing this. WHAT DID I DO WRONG? HELP ME PLZ

Comment by dipshlitz
2007-03-31 12:20:23

Whoa your fucking dumb. What did you think this was going to do? Decrypting a new firmware doesn’t allow you to downgrade or play ISO’s….. Now someone like Dark Alex will create a custom firmware now that 3.30 is decrypted.. but you my stupid friend, are fucked.

If your firmware is 3.11 then you can’t do nothing. That firmware is homebrew-less and can’t run any PBP Unpacker or any other homebrew. Sorry, you’ve to WAIT until they make a 3.11 DOWNGRADER…

Here are some points you should take into account:

1. 132-year-olds? What have you been smoking?
2. I think you meant “cursing,” not “curstion.”
3. You want to tell others to stop cursing, yet you do it yourself just before and afterwards. Fucking hypocrite. (Yeah, I said “fucking.” Got anything to do about that?)
4. I’m amazed at your ability to forget punctuation marks.
5. You couldn’t spell at least 3 words that any child could get right, ass licker.
6. How exactly would you even find out where we live, dumbass? Also, by your wording, that sounds more like a rape threat than a death threat. Were you sexually assaulted in your stay in jail? You probably liked it.

…Meh, I’m done now.
