Team AOP announced New Custom Firmware

**Chameleon** · September 15th, 2007, 00:21

Team AOP is currently developing a new custom firmware that will gain it’s new features by asking the users what features they want. Team AOP is PSPCrazy’s new official homebrew team, and it seems that they will release the custom firmware within the next week. Check back for more information.

What makes Team AOP unique?
We are trying to be unique by created a custom XMB that would be installed while flashing the 3.52 AoP Firmware. Also we are trying to incorporate the ideas of fellow PSP users’ ideas to create useful application to add to our firmware to make it stand out. Right now, we are trying to finish the flasher and the rest is just beta testing.

Description:
We are a new development team trying to improve the PSP Homebrew Scene. We are trying to be out there and make PSP using easier and a lot more fun. The sexy XMB is designed to be a signature of team AOP and are still trying to incorporate it into our firmware. Release is going be to be very soon as soon as we get everything figured out and finished. The password protection will be easy to use and of course, will load before the XMB to ensure you that your little siblings won’t play your games or look at some videos.

Features:
Comes with a sleek XMB
Password protection on startup
Includes all features in previous OE and M33 Firmwares
New Recovery Menu
Use XMBs , gameboots, fonts, etc. without flashing (memory stick required)
And more to come!

This sounds excellent. Let's hope it releases like planned. There have been past cases where custom firmware plans have seemed to turn to dust. Their feature list looks nice. Then again, the screenshot they've posted proves nothing. It's easy to mod both the XMB skin and spoof the firmware already. We'll just have to wait and see what turns out of this.

The dev team is as follows, posted by Nephron on the GamingCrazy forums:

But now they have. Thanks for the news.

Update: After talking with Chameleon and several of the scene's best hackers on IRC, I've decided that I think this is bull$#@! until the opposite has been proven. Some of the team members are what many would call noobs, just look up their posts. We've also found out that two of them are 15 years old. True, some 15-year olds might be able to pull this off, but I highly doubt it. Two screenshots by two different members show a slight difference in the XMB, but the latest one looks worse than the first one.
