Here is the thing we have all been waiting for (If like me you managed to brick a Slim, lol)

Hot off the press from m33/ D_A is the multi unbricker

Id like to take this oppourtunity to say thank you for all the hard work many people have put into this and for Mr Tutu Alek and Jas0nuk who have done the translation's, the one below is from Jas0nuk

Mike..

Installation:

- Skip this part if you already have a Pandora memory stick.
If not, format an MS using Pandora/C+D mspformat or any other tool
that allows the movement of the partition ~250kb from the first sector

- Cancel USB connection and remove the memory stick. Then re-insert
the memory stick and restart the USB connection.

- Make the PSP and PSP/GAME/ directories

- Copy "despertar_cementerio" to PSP/GAME/

- Download official updates 1.50, 3.40 and 3.71, and copy them to the memory stick root, renamed to 150.PBP, 340.PBP and 371.PBP

- Run the app under the 3.XX kernel (under a custom firmware, make sure the GAME folder is set to 3.XX kernel)

- Once finished, you'll be left with msipl.bin on the memory stick root.

- Skip this part if you already have a Pandora memory stick.
If not, use C+D msinst to install ipl on ms, or use the dd command in unix, or any
hex editor to write msipl.bin to sector 16 on the physical drive.

- Now you can delete 340.PBP and 150.PBP
371.PBP will be used for unbricking, so don't delete it.

- Now you have an universal Pandora memory stick ready to go, and you just need a proper battery.
If you have 1.50 kernel access, use the C+D tool. Otherwise, use cory1492's tool.
EITHER TOOL SHOULD ONLY BE USED ON FAT BATTERIES, AS THEY WILL CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO SLIM&LITE BATTERIES.

- The service mode fat battery and memory stick will work on any PSP to date.


Unbricking:

(Note that you won't see the unbricking menu on the slim, due to the different display drivers, so follow the below instructions carefully)

- Press X to install 3.71 M33. On the slim (blind installation), you will see the orange LED flashing,
which means that 371.PBP is being written. When finished, the orange and green LEDs will flash,
to show that it worked. Finally, the PSP will automatically switch off.

- On the fat, once finished, press X to shutdown.
Power on manually, press O at the Blue Screen of Death, and you will be on 3.71 M33

- Press O to install original 3.71 (rest of the process is the same as the 3.71 M33 installation)

- Press [] to dump the NAND to ms0:/nand-dump.bin.
Make sure you have 33mb (fat)/66mb (slim) free on your memory stick to avoid corruption.
The PSP will shut down automatically when done.

- Press L+R+HOME+start to restore NAND from ms0:/nand-dump.bin
This process is very dangerous, and you should only use it as a last resort.
It is physical restore process (not a logical one), and will try to make
a 100% clone of the dump.
If you are working with a dump that isn't yours, you will get either a brick
or a corrupt idstorage, depending on the firmware.
If, your PSPs NAND has more damaged blocks than the dump being restored,
you may also end up with a brick.

Works for both PSP and PSP Slim.

Updated Version added with English Readme and Sony Bugfix

Weltall has updated his BETA of CWCheat for 3.71 today it now has a lot more functionality over the release of the last BETA.

You can download it from Here

As usual, many thanks go to weltall for being so damn quick with the updates to this, keep it up man.

Mike..

Here is the latest Info's/



With this release all these functions are working:
1) screenshoot (normal and fast mode), brightness changer (5th level on lites),

2) frame counter,
3) remapsp,
4) cheating with pops and normal engine,
5) usb,
6) memory dump,
7) clock changer (cpu/bus),
8) informations about memory stick/power informations,
9) memory editor,
10) disassembler,
11) various cheat serching methods and many others (pratically almost all)



This is what i come up after a lot of checking in nid tables and without powering on the psp

for the entire process :P

As some may know i didn't update to 3.71 yet because of the missing 1.50 kernel but these

are personal reasons and doesn't matter with cwcheat.
So i've to thanks for those who tested it (mikebeaver, jamesbdx, robertfissk from malloc.us

irc network) and i was really lucky as it worked at the first try

overwrite the cwcheat.prx and cwcheatpops.prx in the seplugins folder and enable them in

plugins. if you don't need cheat searching functions use the lite versions.

enjoy

BETA CHANGELOG:
-added normal prxes and pops prxes
-added new brigthness and power lock/unlock nids so now it's all working normally
Known bugs:
-Home return may not work. it was reported that disabling cheats help in this. I will be

able to look in the issue after the release of the 1.50 addon for 2.71 ...

Here is Weltall's latest research into getting CW Cheat to run on the 3.xx Kernel, thanks to Sony changing a lot of Nids most of the homebrew prx's will need to be fixxed, nice to see this one is up and on it's way so soon, especially as Weltall doesnt have a PSP Slim and isnt using 3.71 M33.

Kudos to that man.

Here's the Download

Here's the Read me.

This is a beta of cwcheat for 3.71 firmware.

[BETA1]
It's the lite prx for psp games/homebrews/vsh so no cheat searching functions and pops for now (teorically this should launch in homebrew mode in pops by forcing it with R but I couldn't get it tried)
This is what i come up after a lot of checking in nid tables and without powering on the psp for the entire process :
As some may know i didn't update to 3.71 yet because of the missing 1.50 kernel but these are personal reasons and doesn't matter with cwcheat.
So i've to thanks for those who tested it (mikebeaver, jamesbdx, robertfissk from malloc.us irc network) and i was really lucky as it worked at the first try

This is to be considered a beta first of all because it isn't very well tested and also because some functions are missing because they are dependant on some functions i couldn't find for now, these are:
[*]Brightness function[*]lock of power during risky processes (loading/saving db/screenshots in fast mode): so avoid putting your psp in suspend/poweroff else cwcheat may crash on restore or the files being written/readed could be corrupt.

plus i decided to make a lite prx just to be sure it worked before furter testing, so for now the cheat search functions are disabled and this needs to be installed on top of an installation of 0.1.9 REV.E to be sure to work and should work in vsh, 3.7x homebrews and games (tested only in game)overwrite the cwcheat.prx in the seplugins folder and enable it in plugins.

enjoy

British Classification body rules Rockstar cannot release upcoming PS2 and Wii sequel in the UK

"With Take 2 already in turmoil following the recent company-wide restructuring, the group has been dealt another blow with the news that Rockstar’s upcoming sequel Manhunt 2 has been rejected by the BBFC, meaning it cannot legally be supplied anywhere in the UK.

The only other game to ever be rejected by the body was Carmageddon in 1997, though that decision was overturned by the Video Appeals Committee.

"Rejecting a work is a very serious action and one which we do not take lightly,” BBFC director David Cooke stated. “Where possible we try to consider cuts or, in the case of games, modifications which remove the material which contravenes the Board’s published Guidelines.

“In the case of Manhunt 2 this has not been possible. Manhunt 2 is distinguishable from recent high-end video games by its unremitting bleakness and callousness of tone in an overall game context which constantly encourages visceral killing with exceptionally little alleviation or distancing.

“There is sustained and cumulative casual sadism in the way in which these killings are committed, and encouraged, in the game.


“Although the difference should not be exaggerated the fact of the game’s unrelenting focus on stalking and brutal slaying and the sheer lack of alternative pleasures on offer to the gamer, together with the different overall narrative context, contribute towards differentiating this submission from the original Manhunt game.

“That work was classified ‘18’ in 2003, before the BBFC’s recent games research had been undertaken, but was already at the very top end of what the Board judged to be acceptable at that category.

“Against this background, the Board’s carefully considered view is that to issue a certificate to Manhunt 2, on either platform, would involve a range of unjustifiable harm risks, to both adults and minors, within the terms of the Video Recordings Act, and accordingly that its availability, even if statutorily confined to adults, would be unacceptable to the public.”


In my opinion this is just the iceing on the cake, they can show what they like at the cinema or on TV, but we cant play a game because it might make someone violent, the BBFC are hypocrites. ...
