News from PSPgen (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pspgen.com%2Fmodules. php%3Fname%3DNews%26file%3Darticle%26sid%3D5391&langpair=fr%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8)


Less than an hour after the release of 3.73, HellDashX has already updated its firmware, to go 3.73 HX-1. No official release, but a WIP waiting for you by clicking away.

What's new in this Custom Firmware itself are minor except the passage 3.73.

* Updating official called now SCE.PBP, which will simplify future updates.
* Nettoyage de code. * Cleaning code.

As soon as a release is made we will have it :)

Lets just hope that HellDashX will continue this work and release to the public.

People flaming just because HellDashX is "not doing real work" is rubbish - If it was that easy to code CFWs for the PSP then there would be lots to choose from - not just Dark_Alex / M33

HellDashX has not been releasing CFWs on the PSP for long - think about it D_A has had the luxury of time to perfect his CFWs - give the new guys a chance - help them if you can...

Finally remember having more than just one CFW enables the community to grow - what would happen if only one coder / group released on the homebrew scene?

Why only for newbies ?
It custom firmware will be a complete reverse of M33 custom firmware.
Of moment isn't it, but now has the vshctrl, the updater and more prxs of m33 firmware reversed:) .

In the future you won't can say this;).

Which one of these statements is true? If he's retired, how will we find out that it will be a complete reverse?

Anyway, on to my point. 3.72 HX-1 should never have been released as it was. True, he reversed the updater, but when it was released, there was only proof that he reversed the updater, vshctrl and maybe recovery. The vshctrl and recover he did release WAS a hex edit to change offsets, and 3.71 to 3.72 in recovery mode. I personally checked this myself.

I know he's capable of reversing more, so why didn't he release it fully reversed, instead of this hack job that he did now?

Much people have flamed HellDashX ; for this reason he is retired.

If he has reversed the vshctrl and the updater, do not think that he can reverse the rest of m33?
I think that he can.

I think he can too.

If he had fully reversed it, THEN released it, like WildC*rd, then he'd not have been flamed.

Heh, I'm happy to hear the rumor the Hell_Dash_X retired. I hope it's true. After using his firmware (against Dark_AleX's advise) I found it to be......... rather disappointing. Eh, I should just listened to the veteran PSP CFW programmers, they know what they are talking about.

Yeah they do, but how much drama have we had to deal with because of DA's "celebrity" status. This is WHY we need more CFW programmers. So what he hexed and reversed DA's work? Thats how DA learned to program CFW. Through reverse engineering and tooling around and seeing the end result.

Point is, we need more CFW programmers. If DA decides one day, to say to hell with the PSP, who is gonna make CFW for us?

Reverse engineering - fair enough. But hexing? That's just lame. To hex edit a firmware and then call it your own... It's just plain lame.

If he had released it fully recompiled, then no-one would have been complaining.

ok i am really dissapointed i was so exited for 3.73 hx but now he's retired? wow i'm depressed :(. someone needs to tell HellDashX about all those people who updated to 3.72 cfw by accident and now have nowhere to go and no cfw to update to. i'm going to commit suicide now PIECE.

kori_994
December 5th, 2007, 23:51
oh and is it really that hard to make a cfw i am going to try as hard as i can to find out how to make one even if it takes me a year ( well maybe not that long) so i can make my own and release it to everybody. yeah i know it will be extremely hard. but when i know how, i will make a cfw of every new update no matter how long it takes or how hard it is and will release every one of them so everybody can have a cfw psp whenever they want it!!!

December 5th, 2007, 23:53
does anyone else think i should because i am willing to do all that work just because of all the people out there who want it. so does anyone think i should. if i can find out how i will be reliable for every update no matter how pointless the update is. to make a cfw!!!

True enough I suppose, but he may have hexed it because he hasn't learned the ins and outs of the firmware yet.

I guess I am defending him because we need more custom firmwares. Monopolies suck, in essence, with DA being the only one to make CFW we are at his mercy. Sure he is a great guy and has made some awesome achievements, but what if he decides one day to charge for his "services"?

Needless to say, that is why a monopoly really sucks. Sure he would more than deserve money for his efforts, but a monopoly gives those who have said monopoly great power over the people that need what they offer.

I am not saying he will do it, but having 2 or 3 CFWs out there would not hurt the scene at all. It just bothers me that people get up on every CFW programmer's case about trying to make something new. Competition leads to a better end product, and had we have had 2 or 3 teams making CFW for the last year, we may have some truly awesome features to choose from.

There's just no keeping up with him really. I don't doubt that HellDashX had the ability to reverse the custom firmware... But due to not doing a full job of it he got flamed.

Also, Dark_AleX knows that he can't charge for it - it has dubious legality and no-one would use it - this scene is usually all about sponging off other people and pirating.

Competition doesn't really help things in this case - there's not many things you can improve on.


I think it was part reversed and part hexed.

No, he reversed the updater and hexed the vshmain.prx and recovery.prx - True he had to reverse to find out what to hex, but he should have at least recompiled.

I suppose, DA would be in deep shit with Sony if he sold his custom firmware, but there are ways around this. "Donate to join the forums." for instance. Not really selling the CFW, rather "selling" the ability to view the forums, which just so happen to host the files to the CFW...

About the competition, I can see a few ways how it would be possible to "improve" on the CFW scene. One could reverse engineer how WMAs are handled by the XMB and firmware and discover a way to get other files supported.

Much like how ISOs were introduced into Custom firmware, as showing up on the XMB and being playable. Sure they follow UMD format, but someone had to write the code that makes them show up on the XMB and execute as "pseudo" UMDs.

No disrespect, but you might as well just hex the original M33 and release it as your own custom firmware - it's practically doing the same thing as what 3.72 HX was.

Glad you haven't released it though - I can keep the respect I've gained for you ;)

No you have to downgrade your PSP to 1.5 before you can upgrade to Custom Firmware
