    Hello all,

    I am very proud to tell you all about this.

    LAN.ST/LAN.SH, home of Dark_AleX's team and official releases, and one of the oldest psp dedicated servers, is going to be officially merging with the MALLOC.US network, which is the home of previous toc2rta channels/users, as well as having recently acquired Dash-Hacks - the home of #psp-hacks.

    Historically, since #psp was formed on toc2rta, there has always been a slight tension between some of the toc2rta and LAN users/ops/opers. When toc2rta went down, Malloc.us took off, and grew due to its layed back channel chatting rules mixed with its strict op/oper policies. Tension started to die down when LAN ops started to come to Malloc, as they realized that the most active user base has gone there.

    Of course, there was still some tension, but it was very far and few between.

    Now, finally, both sides have agreed to set aside their differences and have compromised a little bit to merge 2 of the largest console-based irc networks into a place where all users can come and gather together for all walks of life, and all types of consoles, including psp, ps3, nintendo ds, iphone, and possibly even more in the near future.

    Op/Oper abuse is not acceptable on the Malloc.us network, and will continue to be this way. Also, Malloc.us is a TROLL-FREE network, which means we do not accept people coming on to spam people, flame people, or to simply try to cause trouble or start a riot.

    So now, we have irc.malloc.us which redirects to aion.malloc.us, unaligned.malloc.us, dashhacks.malloc.us, and in a few days, lan.malloc.us!

    We hope this merge will be pleasurable not only for both sides, but for any new user who wishes to come and visit the active community in the console world.

    Again, op/oper abuse, if it ever happened to you on either network, is a thing of the past. We look foward to a peaceful, fun, educational and informative environment, while retaining the diverse types of conversations that keep the user base alive and active.

    Thanks to EvilSeph for not only starting the Malloc.US network, but also for his amazing patience in negotiating merges with Dash-Hacks and LAN.

    Thanks also to Mathieulh for working with us as well to assure a peaceful transition.

    Malloc will be home now to Dark_AleX releases, Team Noobz, GameWarp, PSP-Hacks, PS3-Hacks, IPhone-Hacks, and, as we like to call it, NightClub PSP.

    simply download an irc client such as mIRC or X-Chat, or just go to http://malloc.us/ for a webchat client!

    Thank you for your time, comments are appreciated.

    Enjoy all! Here it is! Video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4eAG1Ad90Q

    -------------------

    CIntro Modifier V.1.02 & CIntro Flasher v.1

    Coded by kando
    Based on some code from Coldbird, Art & Lordsturm
    Readme by kando
    Concept by kando
    Crediting @ Team FWI

    v1.02 Decided to include CIntro to avoid problems, seems some versions were different.
    v1.01 changelog: added delay from splash screen to restore screen to fix a small bug.



    --YOU MUST HAVE 3.02OE-B INSTALLED FOR THIS TO WORK PROPERLY--

    WHAT IS THIS PROGRAM?

    -This program modifies either version 0.1 or 0.2 of [email protected]'s CIntro program.


    -----I M P O R T A N T-----
    (IF YOU USE VERSION 0.2 YOU MUST EDIT THE INTROCFG.INI AND CHANGE
    bootup=ms0:/PSP/GAME/IRSHELL/EBOOT.PBP;
    TO
    bootup=xmb)
    ^^ cap sensitive

    WHAT IS CINTRO?

    -CIntro is an eboot that runs pmfPlayer.prx to play any PMF file on startup if enabled through firmware.

    HOW DOES THIS PROGRAM MOD CINTRO?

    -This program places all of the CIntro files into FLASH1, modifies the eboot to work in there,
    and modifies the firmware to autoboot FLASH1:/EBOOT.PBP instead of MS0:/PSP/GAME/BOOT/EBOOT.PBP on startup.

    WHY WOULD I WANT THIS? WHAT DOES IT ACHIEVE THAT IS SO SPECIAL?

    -With this mod, CIntro gets permanantly flashed to FLASH1 so that with or without a memory card,
    the intro PMF movie will play on startup. Effectively, this replaces the sony coldboot screen.

    OK, SWEET! HOW DO I WORK THIS THING?

    -Extract the 2 folders in this release into whichever folder is your 1.50 kernel
    (GAME or GAME150)

    Once thats done...

    1) *REMOVED*

    2) Place all CIntro files from the ROOT of the zip file to Memory Stick ROOT - MS0:/ (ms0:/EBOOT.PBP ms0:/pmfPlayer.prx ms0:/INTROCFG.INI)

    3) Find your favorite PMF file (up to ~3.0 MB when no background is set through photo in xmb) and
    rename it to INTRO.PMF and stick it in ms0:/

    4) now that you have your 4 files in ms0:/, run the "CIntro Modifier" program included in this release.

    5) once the installer is done, turn off your psp. turn it back on and go into RECOVERY mode.

    6) go into "Configuration"

    7) ENABLE "Skip SCE Logo"

    8) ENABLE "Autorun program at /PSP/GAME/BOOT/EBOOT.PBP (no u dont have to have that made on ms0)

    9) Turn off your psp. Remove your memory card. Turn on PSP. Sit and be amazed!


    HOW DO I CHANGE MY INTRO.PMF OR MY INTROCFG.INI?

    -Run CIntro Flasher (Included in the release) to flash ms0:/INTRO.PMF or ms0:/INTROCFG.INI to FLASH1.



    FAQ:

    HOW DO I REMOVE THIS MOD?

    1) Re-Run CIntro Modifier

    2) It will say press CROSS to uninstall...simply press CROSS

    3) Go back to RECOVERY mode and DISABLE "Autorun program at /PSP/GAME/BOOT/EBOOT.PBP"

    WHAT HAPPENS TO MY FILES WHEN I UNINSTALL?

    -Files are backed up to MS0:/PSP/ once the program is told to uninstall, so you dont lose anything!

    WHAT IF MY INTRO.PMF IS TOO BIG FOR FLASH1?

    -The program will detect this and will restore your previous working intro.pmf, or
    if it is checking during installation of the mod, will stop the installation and uninstall.

    WHERE DO I FIND CINTRO?

    -omfg use google for cryin out loud.

    CAN THIS BRICK?

    -if used with a battery with < 1% life, yes.

    another release for tonite, happy holidays all

    Flash0 Free Space File Generater v. 1

    -Coding by kando and weltall
    -Based on some code by LordSturm
    -Readme by kando

    WARNING: ALTHOUGH THIS PROGRAM ONLY RUNS FOR MERE SECONDS, DO NOT REMOVE THE BATTERY WHILE IT IS RUNNING.
    DO NOT RUN IF YOUR BATTERY IS ON THE VERGE OF DYING.

    -What does this program do?

    This program attempts to determine how much space is actually free on your Flash0.
    It achieves this by copying a large file to your flash0 and seeing how much actually transfers.

    Afterwards, the file is deleted. A new file is created in your ms0:/ named flash0.size.

    The size of ms0:/flash0.size is the free space on your flash0

    --Can this program brick my flash0?

    Answer: not likely. there is ALWAYS a 0.00001% chance of bricking, however, as long as you dont take out your battery or run it w/ 1% battery left, you will be fine. Just let the program finish running.
    Also if you run this program about 100,000 times your flash0 might give out. But then again, even w/ all my playing around w/ flash0, i've only written a couple hundred times

    --Why would I want to know how much space i have?

    Answer: there are many reasons. you may want to code a program that uses flash0 space for something. you may want to modify firmware parts that require more room. you may want to flash modules. there are dozens of reasons. how many times have you heard people asking "how much space is free on flash0 in firmware xxx...."....this is how ya find out!

    --BUGS:

    -Free space can only be calculated up to 1.50MB at this point in time. Then again, any new firmware nowadays has less than 800KB free :P - i will work on this for the next version.

    cheers!

    Enjoy all, please read the readme attached, as well as quoted below. (edited by the cap'n to take up less space and to stress some important notes.)

    TEAM FWi Presents: 3.01 FWi
    FWi (FirmWare investigators) Members: (LordSturm - kando - birdman - JamesBDX)

    This installation is HIGHLY recommended to be installed on a FRESH installation of Dark_Alex's 2.71 SE-C (http://dax.lan.st)
    - The installation will not execute twice, as a countermeasure to this.

    WE DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MIS-USE OF THIS PROGRAM OR ANY "BRICKS" THAT ARE CREATED DUE TO IMPROPER USAGE OF IT. RUNNING THIS PROGRAM MEANS YOU ACCEPT ANY AND ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR PSP. PROPERLY FOLLOWING THIS README SHOULD ENSURE A SAFE AND PLEASANT FLASH.


    IMPORTANT: This installer will most likely "brick" if you have any custom PRX's FLASHED to your psp. So make sure to remove them first.
    ALSO this installer will delete the contents of vsh.txt and game.txt in ms0:/SEPLUGINS/
    we HIGHLY recommend removing all contents of ms0:/SEPLUGINS/ prior to installing to avoid bricking.

    Known Issues/Bugs:

    - If you have any hex-modified files, or prx plugins FLASHED, you may very well brick.
    We HIGHLY recommend re-installing SE-C before attempting this.
    - ONLY THE FIRST TIME when you go to system settings you will get a BSoD.
    - Power Settings freezes PSP
    - If a BSoD occurs, when entering language and time zone, after time zone is selected, psp freezes...just hard-restart and itll fix itself.
    - DNAS functions dont work properly (enabling WMA/Flash)
    - Some Homebrew wont run (homebrew is corrupt) but THERE IS A FIX FOR ALL (see bottom of readme.txt)
    - Under System Settings, the firmware version displays 2.71 SE-C.
    - The arrow keys that appear while reading agreements, as well as the arrow next to your text in the On Screen Keyboard, do not display properly. Some other symbols may not show properly either. These have no real effect on the psp as long as you know which button means ok and which means cancel.

    Confirmed NON FUNCTIONAL:
    - Online Manuals
    - PS1 Emulation
    - PS3 Remote Play

    Intentionally REMOVED:
    - Location Free TV
    - RSS ( Support was broken. )
    - Web Browser ( Removed to save space. )
    - Animated Gameboot ( gameboot.pmf ) [will get a plain white gameboot] to load gameboot.pmf from ms0:/ instead of flash0:/ to fix.)

    Unconfirmed?
    - Camera

    Confirmed FULLY/PARTIALY FUNCTIONAL:
    - 1.00/1.50 eboots ( Make sure to apply the fix that can be found below. )
    - 2.xx/2.71 eboots ( Remember theres no such thing as 3.xx eboots YET! )
    - ISO/CSO loading from XMB (no-umd as well)
    - MP3 Visualizer
    - Video Player
    - Photo Viewer
    - System Settings ( Power Save menu cannot be accessed, also causes first time run problems. )
    - UMD Auto-Start Setting
    - USB Connection ( Mass Storage )
    - WiFi ( in game, as there is nowhere else to use it. )
    - Anything that has yet to be mentioned.

    IMPORTANT: This installer will most likely "brick" if you have any custom PRX's FLASHED to your psp. So make sure to remove them first.

    ALSO this installer will delete the contents of vsh.txt and game.txt in ms0:/SEPLUGINS/ so if you have any custom prx plugins you were using, manually add them in yourself and edit the files as necessary. This is in order to enable 2.xx and 1.xx homebrew, as well as iso/cso support.
    Installation:
    1) Extract contents of this zip file to the root of your memory stick. you should have:
    ms0:/301/
    ms0:/PSP/GAME150/301_SE/
    ms0:/PSP/GAME150/301_SE/conf.bin
    ms0:/PSP/GAME150/301_SE/EBOOT.PBP
    ms0:/PSP/GAME150/301_SE/pspbtcnf.txt
    ms0:/PSP/GAME150/301_SE/pspbtcnf_game.txt
    ms0:/PSP/GAME150/301_SE/vsh.txt
    (if your 1.50 kernel is set to /GAME/ then move /PSP/GAME150/301_SE/ to /PSP/GAME/301_SE/)
    2) Dump 3.01 firmware (grab official eboot.pbp, extract data.psar and run the psar decrypter that was released.)
    ---THIS DUMP MUST BE ~~D E C R Y P T E D~~ (use square in psardumper)---
    3) place the dump into ms0:/301/ so it looks like:
    ms0:/301/data/cert/
    ms0:/301/kd/
    ms0:/301/vsh/
    ms0:/301/vsh/module/
    etc.
    4) Run the installer and enjoy!!
    ---
    To Return to 2.71 SE-C simply re-install DAX's firmware at http://dax.lan.st
    ---
    To make homebrew work that doesnt work:
    use PBPUnpacker to unpack the SFO of a homebrew that DOES work (IRShell 2.71 edition, CPS1PSP, LUA-Pacman, etc.), and simply extract the contents of the homebrew that doesnt work, replace the sfo with the one from the working homebrew, and repack

    Team FWI (kando, LordSturm, birdman, JamesBDX)

    TEAM FWI - birdman PROUDLY PRESENTS..........

    3.0F HYBRID DEVHOOK!

    CURRENTLY WORKS:
    iso's can be run
    hen-d programs work
    umd's work
    camera works
    visualizer works
    in game - wifi

    CURRENTLY DOESNT WORK:
    Web browser
    xmb - wifi
    ps3 remote connection
    (most of these are now known not to work because we are still useing 2.71 kernel, if we can hack msreboot.bin we can get 3.0 kernel)

    Nessassary matirials:
    • a psp with se-c (no other version will work)
    • the 3.0 psardumper/decrypter (attacheed below)
    • the 3.0 psar file
    • the basic needs file (attached below)
    • a hex editor


    - create a 3.0 dump useing psardumper.

    - you will then have a F0 file in the root of your memory stick.
    take the VSH, DIC, KD, FONT, DATA folders out of the F0 folder and put them in the root of your memorystick.

    - useing a hex editor (not notepad) redirect all the lines pointing to flash0:/ to fatms0:/ in the following files:

    - i used xvi32 a free hex editor, in it there is a simple replace function replace: flash with fatms

    Files to fix (all are located in vsh/modules) (all are prx's)
    • camera_plugin
    • common_util
    • dialogmain
    • game_plugin
    • htmlviewer_plugin
    • htmlviewer_utility
    • lftv_main_plugin
    • lftv_plugin
    • libfont_hv
    • msvideo_main_plugin
    • msvideo_plugin
    • music_main_plugin
    • music_plugin
    • netconf_plugin
    • netplay_client_plugin
    • opening_plugin
    • paf
    • pafmini
    • photo_plugin
    • premo_plugin
    • rss_subscriber
    • sysconf_plugin
    • video_main_plugin
    • video_plugin
    • vshmain
      • For vshmain do the replace command, then do ctrl+f and search for index.dat, replace its fatms0:/ with flash0:/ if you dont you will get a RSoD.


    one file in kd - cert_loader.prx must also have flash replaced with fatms.


    once this is done, load up the devhook i included, select 271F

    BE SURE THE DEVHOOK IS BEING LOADED FROM 2.71 KERNEL!


    - dont try loading system settings or power settings, power settings will freeze your psp and system settings will give you an internal error


    to-do:
    flash1 emulation? (if you have a 3.0 flash1 pm me)
