PSP TA-088 v3 security HACKED!

[War]

"In the underground world of PSP, there are currently 2 motherboards that cannot install custom firmware, the PSP Slim & Lite motherboard TA-088 v3 and their counterpart, the TA-090 motherboard in the PSP-3000. Both are distinguished by the fact that the TA-088 v3 can start in service mode, but it is impossible to save any custom firmware because it checks in the hardware.

For the PSP-3000, it is impossible to start a Pandora battery and there is no doubt that the same security checking IPL has been put in place.

Dark_Alex has commented on this security check IPL... to learn more, see the news Dark_AleX explains the safety of TA-88 v3. A developer, hitherto unknown, brokencodes, found the signature used by TA 088v3 and just published it.

We can therefore expect the next release of a Despertar Del Cementerio adding support for TA 088v3 and hopefully in the future, a future PSP-3000 hack."

So they did hack it after all, eh? Darkalex is really fast

A future PSP-3000 hack, which means it has traveled back in time.

And that's why the PSP is awesome

This isn't news

This is JUST exactly the same thing as this:

Only with speculations added by consolespot.

Woah, nice!

Dark Alex is Sony best friend!

 

[xalphax]

sony should just hire him and pay him a hefty sum to develop exclusively for them.

but i doubt he would take the offer.

Yeah, I've read it. It's still the same, but then it seems that the speculations came from PSPGEN

Until DAX himself or Alek talk about this, I'm saying it's all speculations. BTW, if I remember correctly, brokencodes cracked only PART of the 088 v3 security. Dunno if that is still true, btw.

As far as we know, we don't even know if what brokencodes found really works

Only DAX can tell that.

Oh, I found where I did read about that incomplete part thingy somewhere. On Alek's blog:

QUOTE(Alek's blog)Even thought that is a partial code (still a couple of functions missing), it's a GREAT step towards 88v3 liberation. We'll keep you updated.

Great work, brokencodes.

So it has not been hacked yet

It's funny how people are like "ZOMG YAY DARK_ALEX" when he didn't even do it... It was brokencodes...

you would be surprised how many times breakthroughs in the psp world have been attributed to him in the past.

Not to mention the rampant and mindless shouting of the words "custom firmware" that hits pretty much any thread about homebrew on a system.
