M33 Updater changes:

• The degeneration check and correction of IDS keys happens too in 3.71 now.
• Added code to download 3.90 PBP from net via wifi. Note that his code is not yet 100% stable, it may crash when selecting AP. In that case, re-init the installer.

• and for us fat users 1.50 add-on is out

download the: Ez-install

Thats right, Sony pumped out a new firmware today (3.90). The only real add on is skype: “a phone like system that can also use video over the internet” and is only usable on slim psps. Other than that is a network tittle update.

dark alex put out his 1.50 add-on for us fat psp users, this will allow you to use your 1.50 eboots on the new firmware.

check out our downloads for the update.

good news 3.80M33 was put out to day by the on and only dark_alex.

what you should know.

3.80 M33 Changes:

• HEN core: user mode can load now signchecked files from flash.
• recovery: flash1 format will create flash1 directories after format. This could fix some flash1 issues with the previous versions.
• network update from dark-alex.org page. By default is enabled. You can turn it off in recovery (when off, network update will download sony updates as usual).
• Nids resolver for various kernel libraries.

Users should note: “…popsloader plugin from 3.71 will not work in 3.80 M33 due to its system dependency. A new one will be rewritten for 3.80 M33.”

Update: Dark_AleX has quickly corrected a few issues; thus releasing 3.80 M33-2!

• Function scePowerGetClockFrequency / scePowerGetClockFrequencyInt was not resolved properly due to confusion between two nids applying to the same function. Fixed, this update is necessary for plugins and kernel homebrew reporting PSP CPU speed.
• PSX EBOOT.PBP that have an icon of 80×80 pixels will not be replaced by Dracula icon in savedata.

(also a 1.50 kernal is not yet avalible)

my ez-install is now up: download

PSP Phone?

Well Yes And No…

A Psp App Was Released By The Noobz Team That Allows You To Use Your Psp To Make Phone Calls And Receive Them.

Here Is How It All Works:

• It's Free Software – In Both The Beer, And Speech Senses.
• You Can Use It Anywhere In The World, Subject To Signing-up To A Suitable Local Sip-based Voice-over-ip Provider And Being Near A Usable Wifi Access Point. In Many Countries, You Can Find Those For Free Or Nearly-free – E.g. With Sipgate, In The Uk, You Can Call To Your Psp From Any Standard Phone (Landline Or Cellphone) For Just The Standard Local Call Cost, And From Psp To Another Sip Phone (Another Psp Or A Pc) For Free.
• It Runs On Both Slim And Fat Psps.
• It Uses Open Standards, For Maximum Compatibility With Other Phone Systems.
• You Can Use A Go!cam (Chotto Shot), Talkman Microphone, Or Socom-style Headset For Audio Input. (And Even If You Don't Have Any Of Those, You Can Still Send Audio From A Wav File In A Pinch).

It's Still Pretty Much Beta Software – The Audio Quality Needs Some Work (But It Is Usable), The Ui Isn't Very Pretty, And Video Calls Aren't Working (Yet!). But It Works, And It's A Nice Demo Of What Is Possible.

An interesting thread started by Mathieulh indicates custom firmware 3.80 M33 is in the works. Furthermore, the possibility of a 3rd generation PSP model could be under development too… Have a read:

While working on the future 3.80M33, we found a VERY interesting string in the IPL’s playload: “/kd/pspbtcnf_03g.bin”

For those who do not understand here is a bit of history:

since 2.71 and especially in 2.80, we could see a string refering to pspbtcnf_02g which suggested the support of a new hardware or at least of a new operative mode. Later with the slim release we found out that the slim’s codename was this infamous 02g (proably standing for second generation) and that it used the _02g modules as well as pspbtcnf_02g.bin. It means that they worked on slim firmware/kernel for months before the actual hardware was announced/released.

We believe it is the same with the 3rd generation hardware which they are now preparing for sure. Will it be yet another lighter (and pandora proof) psp or will it be the new psp phone? Time will tell
