It seems that an anonymous group of 10 developers have gave a bit of insight as to whats in store for the future of psp custom firmware. They made note to mention that they are planning to create this new custom firmware by reverse-engineering Dark-Alex's work, and that their 3.51 custom firmware will surpass the quality of Dark-Alex's previous work. There is no mention of a release date, but keep posted for updates.

Newly Discovered Flaw in Flash Player May Run Code

A flaw found in Adobe's Flash player, an input validation error, may allow someone to run code loaded using the Flash player built into the Wii's Opera browser. While this may lead to some kind of exploit much like the PSP's image viewer, it seems the general concensus is that Opera's Flash player may be too limited to actually build something useful.

"Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Flash Player that could allow an attacker who successfully exploits these potential vulnerabilities to take control of the affected system. A malicious SWF must be loaded in Flash Player by the user for an attacker to exploit these potential vulnerabilities. Users are recommended to update to the most current version of Flash Player available for their platform."

Homebrew developer flatmush has just released his entry for the GBAX Coding competition, titled "flAstro". flAstro is a homebrew game in which is a polished version of the astro lander game, where u need to land a spacecraft on colored squares quickly and as gently as you can while avoiding damage. flAstro features Load/Save games, HiScores, Unlocks, In-Game Instructions, and much more. According to the developer, it has been extensively tested and is bug-free. The developer also states that the farther you get in the game, the harder it gets. Such as gravity becomes more of a problem, along with rocky terrain and damage received from bumps. Even though the game gets harder, you will be awarded bonus points for landing quickly, landing softly, landing close to the center of the square, and using fuel efficiently.

Here are the controls:

• DPAD LEFT/RIGHT – Thrust left/right.
• DPAD UP/DOWN – Navigate menus.
• CROSS – Normal Thrust / Menu Select.
• CIRCLE – Hyper Thrust / Menu back.
• START – Pause Menu
• SELECT – Take screenshot.

Note: This is a homebrew game, so it does require either 1.50 or a custom firmware to be played. Also, as always, read the readme included before you go asking questions.

becus25 has released his latest custom firmware for 3.40: IE-A2. IE (increasing edition) is his top work yet! His new update mainly takes the problem out of when people enter configuration.

Heres some stuff he's provided from his last notes:

• Pressing L+Select will resotre configuration if you cant enter it from the recovery menu

• Copy the PSP folder in the root of your memory stick

• Run the flasher

• It will write on flash 0 and flash 1 and on abc.txt (configuration)

• There is the IeCtrl.pbp on pspgameboot called eboot.pbp

• When you have expansion written, on flash activate autoboot function from the OE recovery.

Great work you got there becus25! We hope to see your next build of this astonishing release! Keep at it.
