PSP Firmware 4.00 Decrypted…
greg | June 18, 2008
The analysis report is in. The crew who delivered custom firmware 3.95 GEN have successfully decrypted and shared their 4.00 findings…
According to their report, many PRX’s were in fact modified — pops, popsman, npdrm, np9660, mlnbridge, sysmem, umdcache, sysconf, video — just to name a few. Fortunately it’s said these changes do not pose much of a problem for the development of future custom firmwares.
Whether Dark_AleX/M33 or MIRIAM release custom firmware 4.00; that’s another story. I guess we’ll find out one way or the other.

HEH… I hope they do…
Unless they make some huge improvement stickin to 3.90 m33-3
Agreed,Staying with 3.90 m33-3 until great new changes…
I’ll be moving up to 4.00 M33
To many games i want to play want 3.95+
Otherwise i’d just ignore it as well.
sounds good.
yea.. but i still probably am gonna stick with 3.90m33-3
i use irshell to much.. unless one of the other shells get better then im gonna stay with 3.90
doesn’t the patch make it so you can use any firmware? If I’m not mistaken, it removes the firmware check…
@soulr3aper
yes that’s true. i think it’s the boot.bin that checks firmware. and thats disabled on cfw
hahaha i knew i wasn’t crazy. thank you for clearing that up.
Uhhh, NervOS. It’s a great Shell. It will soon replace irshell soon. And it has the latest support.
i dont know i still like irshell cuz of all the features in it or at least the ones neros hasnt had built in it yet.
uhoh m33 DAX watch out GEN IS SPEED DEMONING THIS COMPETITION :)
That was fast
nice!
btw, i too use irshell all the time. its da bestest
Lol i’m sure Dark_AleX has already decrypted the firmware. He doesn’t post it on his blog on his site :( As for GEN they do. Also i expect m33 to be a better release than GEN. But GEN are new to the custom firmware scene they just could shock us all.
Well there was word that the flash player was updated from 6 to 7, which allows some flash support. Perhaps if one of them were able to make it so some videos worked they would be the victor in the firmwires. Because honestly, i like psptube and everything but it get’s annoying having to use a program that doesn’t always work for everything.
first!!! haha bishes!!!
lol wow u cant even spell right or count, i guess its safe to assume that English and math weren’t your favorite subjects.
anyways i guess that this is a sign of a new cfw approaching even sooner. DAX vs GEN good battle?
Damned hoser
I can see we cant count
or even spell so why post?
Wait you one of those guys who can lisp cracker?
HOMO
haha sony fails again at protecting their psp.
sony fails again at supporting their psp, i’d say.. no games…
agreed =(
hell yah!! took gen like 5 months to hack 3.95, and now i hope m33 hacks it within the week cause i wanna play a game while on a 5 hour plane ride back to alaska!! hurry dark alex!!!
it takes time to release an great release. i sure dont like the way ppl requesting and procrcinating about my release. also not when some one on ebay selling my CFW for 50 USD.
It seems to me like everyone is relying on these guys to get a cfw out but give it time boys and girls
you want qaulity let them work at their pace shit
and its not a comp.
its for the users by the users
so sit back and enjoy
they could drop out at anytime and leave you hanging
Shit man where has logic gone
psn=Suicide5225 add me if yould like
uhh… Where did everyone try to rush them into making it. People are just saying they’re excited. and no one is taking what they do for granted… You just basically came in here and started yelling at nothing.
because if you remember, people were fucking DEMANDING 3.80M33 and once he officially anounces 4.00 M33 (if he even does it) then people are gonna be like “what the fuck is taking so long?!? FUCK DAX!!!” but of course they’r gonna update as soon as its released.
so what. i prety much stoped updating cuss i dont like how new fws changed the flash.
I’m still on 3.71m33-4. I haven’t found a reason to update yet, and probably won’t for a while.
I was stuck on 3.71, like on band-aids, cause band-aids stick on me..
hahaha..
um yeah, but i finally upgraded because 3.90 has a damn better plugin compatibility
damn that was fast, keep up tha good work, but would it now be like 4.XX kernel?
well i hav a question for tha ppl who comment, do any of you know any other psphacking websites optimized for the psp’s browser? love the IRshell, listening 2 música right now! awesome XD
suck my ballz!!
cuales huevos? the ones your mommy told you you had because you asked why you had to sit down to pee?
This is about the only psp news site that i’ ve found that renders reasonably in the psp’s browser. If you are having problems viewing this site on your psp, use the smart-fit option.
Don’t even try to surf QJ.net sites with the psp’s browser, they slow the browser to a crawl, and quite often causes it to bomb with an out of memory error.
Yes the Battle of M33 VS GEN who’ll be the winner? my personal belief is m33 duh Dark_AleX, Dark_AleX has had more expierance hes got math on his side and the other Russian coders which are a great help. But well see..
Go M33!!!!!
Oh AND THE 4.XX KERNAL IS Similar is not the same as 3.xx kernal so hopefully homebrew wont be a problem if it is then hopefully they add 3.xx and 1.5x
OMG I LOVE IT!
Sony spends all that time keeping 4.00 uncrackable and its already decrypted! Give up Sony you’ll never win :)
btw
I don’t think DAX will bother with 4.00, there are no features worth using.
its okay, eventually one of them will pull through, there will always be one person or group that will supply us with these CFWs, its been proven since FW 1.50
nothing worth hacking here =(
but what if it’s worth hacking, and adding our own mumbo jumbo in there…
*cough* VIDEO CODECS *cough*
i rilly wish they can just integrate youtube instead of that lousy stupid google search garbage so it would sort of work like psptube right from the xmb in game but instead just scroll all the way to the right then search youtube videos or better yet search links with videos etc i hope sony could include something close to a youtube program or of some sort.
fags….. sony likes that game, get serious… everyone buys psp to run a cfw.
they sell the device itself. the problem is more on the game factory (here is the pain for sony). i bet that the last fw sony will release it would be a homebrew enabled itself. morons.
take it easy there boss :)
I agree, money raking with PSP games did not happend, but they still are generating profit by selling those PSP consoles. Not less than if they have to take them back from retailers as non moving stock and recycle them. First generation of units was sold for $349, when US dollar was healthy and strong. Right there they had to make a ton of money, because they sell more sophisticated new version with the new game and 1GB memstick for $189 now and still make a buck. Hell no, Sony never did and never will loose money on PSP.
Yeah & the video game companies have nobody to blame but themselves. Most PSP games just suck. I’ll stick to my old PS1 games….
a launch PSP was $249 not $349
lol, i paid 340$ cdn after taxes for mine when it first cam out, tax was a bitch
i was gonna also say that would be sick if DAX has a hidden surprise to somehow include a 1.5 kernel into psp slim cuz i would cry and bow down on my knees infront of my pc if that happened i dont like using timemachine that much
Looks like GEN is on the ball with 4.00. I’m sure M33 will be on it soon enough :P
give it some time.
sony sucks i never even got the upgrades that should’ve come with psp-1000 series they need better tech support when it comes to help they suck ballz
psp phat rulez!!!
may i ask whats the difference with M33 and GEN?
there is no differ from m33 or gen because gen is using the same as m33 he said so when he first came out that he was following m33 work he does have some new stuff in the recovery thats about it beside gen cant even ad 1.5 to 3.95 i can but i will not give to anyone because it is illegal to give out because sony copy right laws and 4.00 is easy to decrept i have my on custom fw i just chose not to show it only me friends use it because i know u guys will post it everwhere on the web and i put in jail
I don’t believe you. You can’t even form a sentence.
ya and I made my psp do my laudary and brush my teeth
i want dark alex or someone to make a firmware of there own that has all the homebrew installed so that you can save your memory for isos and not have to use half of it on psp tube and that sort of thing
uhh… But it has to fit on the internal flash
to hell with internal flash dax should make his own psp with enouth internal flash for any program and better ram so that anyone whos wants a psp for more than the games and music could buy this pluse he could make a good profit
yeah, and while your at it, throw in a dvd burner too, hell, integratd camera and gps. wtf right? uhh thats a fuckin stuipid idea. your a nut gobbler for saying that
i actually think the dvd player Idea is good that way we dont have to use umds
it is easy to ad the 1.5 to 4.00 all you do is grab the the files from the 3.93 1.5 ad on and get the 4.00 pspbtinf.bin, pspbtknf.bin, pspbtpspbtjnf.bin pspbtcnf.bin and the ad 1.5 reboot.bin to them and the tell them which dir you want them to direct to like km and branch them off that and ad all the 1.5 files it takes a long time to ad all the files but it can be done and to create your own custom fw all you need is the patch from 1.5 that run unofficial eboots and ad it to the vshmain vshctrl and the pspbt files and there is your own custom fw and learn how to get in your flash 0 to do this u can use pandoras or a modchip or like i did is attach a usb cord to the flash mother board to access it or use a flash mod dumper witch you have mess with the buffer so that the file fits in you ram to dump it
dont get me in trouble or you will regret it
Yea you haven’t made a firmwire i doubt you even now anything about programming.
you dont know anything you prick you are just a little bastard that lives with his mama so go fuck your self
So when will you release your own CFW?
Holy hell that was quick. But have to wait for them to make update 2
As far as I’m concerned, GEN released a crappy CFW. My psp got all sorts of probz after installing it, so , I’m going back to 390m33-3…
Curiosity killed the cat, next time, i’ll only put Dark Alex’s stuff..
Never had any issues with any 3.9x firmwares, Dark Alex’s or Gen’s. Even when people were complaining about PSOne games not working, mine worked perfectly. I would trust either at this point, although I respect Dark Alex slightly more for all of his hard work. He has been around a very long time, and has consistant quality code.
OK new to this but do ya still ahve to downgrade with this new firmware
I don’t see it on the update page.
I bet that sony pulled it since it’s been decrypted already. They know they suck lmao
am stuck on 3.95 it stucks stupid sony
what new features do people want on their psp
virtual reality
espresso machine
err, hey! hie guys. im still on 3.71 m33-2.. how to i upgrade eh? and is it safe for me to use it on my psp[it is the slim version] ? hope u guys can help? thks. =)
hey google it in you tube look for pandoara/ Despertar del Cementerio 5
why does the sony home page still say 3.95. i have anther question does cfw 3.95 GEN allow you to download ofw not that i want it just wondering
Cool I guess but im waiting for 4.00M33…I would like to continue to play PSX’s on my Phat
Well folks
Sounds like alex might leave behind the 1.50 patch for his firmwares
and add in a save state feature as well as new recovery menu to revolutionize the genre

Everyone, I’m now working on the Sony 4.00 FW and it might take a week or 2. Don’t worry, As soon as I perfect the glitches, I will post it up on my site.
ya DAlex you RULE!!!!
I strongly doubt that is actually him.
I dont really care is 4.00 GEN comes out. DAX is taking his time and making some improvements on the 4.00m33. the Team GEN wont do much good while rushing.
has anyone figure out an easy way to downgrade from 3.95? i read all this cool cfw stuff and i want to try it all out but i am suck a noobie when it come to all this programming swapping files stuff or whatever is there some way of downloading a file that will downgrade the psp????
check the psp hacks forums
http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums
do a google search of pandora battery and magic memory stick thats how I downgraded
I think dax should go to hell and just let GEN take over
why dont you go to hell and shut up about dax and go to hell
ya just shut up (btw jimmy said go to hell twice
go dax all the way
ya dax rocks
wft go GEN
i like pie and hot girls
