Nevermind 3.50 OE, 3.51 OE Is Coming!

greg | July 1, 2007

As suggested by some, it has now been officially announced that Dark_AleX is scrapping development of 3.50 Open Edition (OE) and moving straight to 3.51 OE.

Also mentioned is the discovery of “p9660.prx” in the latest 3.50 & 3.51 firmwares. Reportedly it’s an official ISO loader created by Sony to load encrypted ISOs off the memory stick. Say whaaaaat?! This is probably the best explanation…

In here is a good question and the assumptions on the subject are on the way. Most probable gives as explanation that Sony will propose to play with downloaded PSP games via its network PSN. Would the era of the GOD (Game one Demand) be on the way?

So what’s the deal? Well, here’s another quotable quote…

D-A and Mathieulh has informed us that they will soon patch the module np9660.prx discovered in firmware 3.50 and 3.51 so that you’ll be allowed the use the loader on unencrypted ISO !!! The advantages of this exploit, savings improving the autonomy of your PSP, namely: battery, UMD drive, etc…

Awesome!

Well for me it looks as if Sony has finally lost the battle against homebrew programmers and hackers and (if u can’t win them join them)

Thanks Dark Alex every single person that uses you’re firmware’s is proud of doing so

Just read, the intro says, that there is an ISO loader included that they want to patch so that it does load normal ISOs.

here you go:

Wie durch einiges vorgeschlagen, ist es jetzt offiziell verkündet worden, daß Dark_AleX Entwicklung geöffneter Ausgabe 3.50 (OE) ausrangiert und gerade auf 3.51 OE bewegt. Auch erwähnt die Entdeckung von „p9660.prx“ in den neuesten 3.50 u. 3.51 firmwares. Angeblich ist es eine Beamter ISO Ladevorrichtung, die von Sony hergestellt wird, um verschlüsseltes ISOs weg vom Gedächtnisstock zu laden. Sagen whaaaaat?! Dieses ist vermutlich die beste Erklärung… In hier ist eine gute Frage und die Annahmen auf dem Thema sind auf der Weise. Am meisten gibt Probable als Erklärung, die Sony vorschlägt, mit downloadeten PSP Spielen über seinen Netz PSN zu spielen. Würde die ära des GOTTES (Nachfrage des Spiel-eins) auf der Weise sein? So ist was das Abkommen? Gut ist hier ein anderer zitierfähiger Anführungsstrich… D-A und Mathieulh hat uns informiert, daß sie bald das Modul ausbessern np9660.prx, das in Mikroprogrammaufstellung 3.50 und 3.51, damit dir, entdeckt wird dem Gebrauch die Ladevorrichtung auf unencrypted ISO!! erlaubt wirst! Die Vorteile dieser Großtat, Sparungen, welche die Autonomie deines PSP, nämlich verbessern: Batterie, UMD Antrieb, ETC… Ehrfürchtig!

Comment by NoiseReducer
2007-07-01 22:02:41

Sooner rather than later. My bet is friday next week (7.6.2007) and it is not based on anything else than my own feeling. I admire all work and amazing progress of homebrew software developers, I wish I can do what they can. DAX is a superstar, no doubt about that. I wish you can buy his poster.

or sony is trying to screw us over thinking its somethign we think but accually to do something that will screw us up so we get error messages? its obviusly a trick that they gonna put in new games so the new game isos wont work

Comment by pspizzle
2007-07-01 20:12:01

thats a fucking good point, i would suggest adding the official sony iso loader as an option in the recovery menu flash space allowing, just in case ;-)

Comment by Will

I’m sure DAX would know anyways. No worrys.

2007-07-01 20:11:02

Hmm… These hackers are just working to hard. Let’s help them to screw us over, by making an ISO loader that fixes their mistakes.

 
Comment by C_firoth
2007-07-01 20:27:16

Im thinking of two things, #1 maybe sony is planig to release a firmware with some sort of patch, so when it is turned into OE and instaled in your psp it will mess up your psp memory or #2 the guys that make the official firmwares are hakers.(that last ones not good for our friend SONY)

SWEET but i’ll wait to see if anyone has issues with 3.51 OE. I dont know about sony’s iso loader??? I think D_A should make it a option in recovery………and keep his there. I had no issues with 340 OE-A using iso’s, cso’s………

 
Comment by Mr Saibot
2007-07-01 21:42:12

If some1 made an app to patch unencrypted ISO’s to make them run on 3.51’s ISO loader then we wouldn’t need to downgrade etc. I’ll always stick with OE though! Imagine that – EVERYONE will be able to load an ISO! (I doubt there’s CSO support in 3.51 lol)

Can it have internet functions again plzzz and also remote play for my ps3

Comment by Gargantula

That feature is in version 3.50 so this 3.51 OE version should have it.

wait wait does this mean that i wont need a umd to run games anymore. cause my umd drive broke a long time ago and wasnt able to play psp games for like a year already. does 3.51 oe mean that i will be able to load without a umd now?

Comment by Will
2007-07-02 02:12:48

Dude, the 3.0X OE’s have been able to do that for awhile now……….

can anyone answer this question without flaming ( is there a way of playing cso’s after your psp lens stop working?) please anyone.

Comment by Klutch's helper
2007-07-04 08:50:55

klutch, almost all of the OE custom firmware versions allow you to run games without having an actual UMD present. When booting up hold R to go to the recovery menu and then search around for a “NO-UMD” option. Take care :-)

that’s really nice… but I’d love some psx emulation improvements as well… like playing chrono cross without having it freeze upon every boss monsters’ death… or with an ID fix that slows everything down.

I whish I could do these things myself !
Really.. if they keep their word (and they do!) Sony looks really stupid to me XD
Common.. they know we (well.. not me) can decrypt firmwares.. did they think we couldn’t decrypt that .PRX and modify it ?!
Well.. maybe there’s some security-thing on it.. that gives every PSP another ‘number’ when they upgrade/update..
So, when you want to download those GOD from Sony, you can’t!
But -MEH-

 
Comment by NightArchaon
2007-07-02 07:42:36

Hmm, my thougts are perhaps sony are going to start shipping encrypted UMDs with an ISO on the UMD, and the prx ISO loader is for that, so just dumping the ISO from the UMD would no longer be a way to copy the contents.

this is great news but do u really think sony have done this cause they have lost???
i think not. maybe there will be a plan in the works from sony and i can guess that once there iso loader is fully avliable we will see why they put it in there.
i just know sony are not going to give us a iso loader for our fun, only to make money so i cant wait to see what they have in the pipe works.

2007-07-02 13:09:42

i wouldnt get too excited. there has to be something wrong with this picture. sony cant literally be that retarded could they? im just getting a bad feeling about this. i trust Dark_Alex and all but wuts up with sony. the quote “If you cant beat em, join em.” does not apply to Sony, or any other big business. or else ps3 (losing the console war, blu ray discs are selling low, too expensive!) would have been dropped, and sony would join nintendo or microsoft. its a conspiracy for a psp homebrew genocide to get rid of all the homebrew users. therefore, causing ppl to buy a new psp, boosting sales, and keeping homebrew at bay, if not eradicated.

 
Comment by 3CD0Widow
2007-07-02 13:40:06

I dont think you understand, the prx file that needs patching is for games downloaded from the playstation store, PSone games and possibly PSP games, Sony isn’t trying to stop people from running their own ISO’s made from dumping the UMD…

 
Comment by 3CD0Widow
2007-07-02 14:02:37

Actualy PSone games may still come in Eboot form, the ISO loader might only be for PSP game downloads, I noticed that the new wipeout pulse promo will come with a manual that you can read within the game, so it makes sense, that all ISO’s will have these when bought from the playstation store.

 
Comment by 3CD0Widow
2007-07-02 14:04:45

My bad Wipeout pulse promo hints that a manual will be in the full game :rolleyes:

doesn’t anyone see that if sonys given us a iso loader, and we patch it to play unencrypted isos theyre gna get pisd off n just think oh forget it we give them a compromise and they throw it back in our faces, so in a way dark_alex is a god but sony are too, they gave us the psp, they gave us the ability to hack it, with theyre “security updates” and then they gave us a iso loader, but we basically take it and p1ss all over it then use it, and abuse it, so if we were to patch it it would be on our own heads, they might remove it in “3.52″ if we have to go that far..

From Dark Alex

Bye, scene.

I’ve decided to cease OE development, and leave PSP scene.
The reasons are various.
One of them is the time it consumes, which i’m losing from other things.
The other is related to my security. I didn’t like Sony menaces to PS3 hackers.
I think it is better to leave now rather than end paying the consequences.
