PSP Exploit

Well, it seems the homebrew community is already hot on the trail of producing a custom version of Sony’s official PSP firmware version 3.95. It is currently in the testing phase, and is scheduled to be released very soon.

This appears to be a solid list of what to expect from this release:

• Launch ISO / homebrew 3.xx
• Adding a name to differentiate firmware for PSP to 3.95 standard ones FC (general request in the forums).
• POPS 3.95
• IRShell functional functional except ISO Launch
• PSP 5.0 Filer functional
• Plug-in Capture.prx tested ok
• Plug-in cwcheat.prx tested ok
• Plug-in Recovery LE (Ketchup) and tested ok (except for displaying the version number blocked on 3.90M33 - Update plug-in planned)
• The USB Host is always buggy but works perfectly with a small tip.
• The recovery is still accessible directly via the XMB with the L key
• CXMB does not currently works but we updating the plug-in is underway (just a problem of addresses to settle)
• Popsloader not working. Only Dark_Alex can update its plug-in. Is not planned at this time.
• Taking screenshots should be added. Still under discussion.

It’s kind of a downer Popsloader won’t be supported, but it’s always good to hear that people are working on these releases.

No release date has been set, but it could be as early as this weekend. They are addressing major bugs, and hope to have them done by this weekend, so stay tuned.
