Epsilon To Release Custom PSP Bios

[mog]

Kramer and Addicted, it's good that there are people that do not blindly accept everything they see and hear as fact... but I think your conclusions are wrong!

The great thing about the PSP is the way the little lines in the background move making it difficult to just throw together different clips.
After watching the whole thing a few times just looking at the background in fullscreen it is too perfect for any clips to be thrown together, atleast while background is visible.

Another great thing is the time and date on psp can be seen often.
Here are the times I recorded from watching the video:
00m 42s = 6/2 2:04 PM
01m 25s = 6/2 2:04 PM
02m 03s = 6/2 2:05 PM
02m 22s = 6/2 2:05 PM
02m 44s = 6/2 2:06 PM
The times are the earliest and latest you can see for each minute of the PSP time.
As you can see, if it is a fake they have put an impresive amount of effort into it.

Me & My Katimari can be seen while the psp is being tilted upright, before showing there is no umd.
While the psp is being put back down, immediately, as soon as the screen is just slightly visible, you can see that Me & My Katamari is still playing on the 2.71 PSP without umd and loaded from the game menu.

Other things:
- The memory stick remaining disc space is always 87MB, and the order of the icons in the game directory doesn't change either.
- The XMB had the "Enable WMA Playback" menu icon which is only on 2.60 and higher.
- The XMB had the "Enable Flash® Player" menu icon which is only on 2.70 and higher.
- LocoRoco is a 2.70 game.

And there were quite a few other things... I've just got bored of typing now!
After all these things, I am near 100% sure this is completely real.
It would be far more amazing and impresive if this is actually somehow a fake, it just looks too difficult.
If anyone else can fake it, go ahead!

CONCLUSION: Real

WOW! Good job sherlock Homes LOL. I'm very impressed with your studying of this video. It can still be fake but like you said it would take a lot of work and i mean "A LOT" to fake it that well. But we'll soon find out if it is real.

[faceless]

why do people still doubt the reality of this mod?

PS2 Scene has already revealed who is behind this (divineo/sjeep.inc)

and as for how they have mods to test their bios replacement on...

Team Epsilon = Undiluted Platinum

they are they same guys

that is why they have UP mods, they get product samples from themselves!

this strategy was seen previously with the DMS4 (Team Toxic) and Viper GC (Mental Cube), unless people really think that devs magically appear to write a bios/firmware for a mod that isnt commercially available yet...

[acn010]

really ineresting, funny, Undiluted Platinum should made a detachable modchip, one adapter connected and soldered to the psp, and the modchip itself getting the adapter and solder to psps owners and crack the version one by one.
XD great effort but people want thier warenty and they don't want to risk it.
and sorry for saying this but the guy who film the video, wow what a retarded way you film on your psp.
well i saw something that really catched me, um first he started the loco roco, then exited, then later he played attack of the mutants, then me & mr. katamari. is it that this program just copies the signature from the signed eboot and copies to the homebrew on one time use?

If they had managed to do that, they would have just said!
That is no easier or less impressive than making the custom bios...

Anyway, if I was making the same video, I would have also chosen that order to demonstrate that it works.

System Information - to show the version number, which can't be changed above fw 1.5.
LocoRoco - PSP can run a 2.7 game from Game menu.
Attack of the Mutants - PSP can run homebrew.
Me & My Katimari - To show the PSP is definitely running the game without UMD from Game menu.
This implies it was loaded from an ISO, which traditionally also means the PSP has access to kernel mode.

Whats left to say!!?? Good work fella! Cant wait to see whats achieved when this is on the market

[plasmaballs]

Still suspect, however. What an achievement it would be, lets just wait and see the results....

they have the rights and its their product and also, they need testers to prove it works an/or make udate programs before the product comes out

[T-2000]

i wonder how many people who have said the video might be fake, also said the modchip was fake too...

[Zargon]

I am not one to usually beleive things as soon as I read them, but this is really impressive and seems like it will work. I think the creators of the custom firmware deserve a big round of applause and, I can guarantee that I will be getting both UP and the Epsilon BiOS

(but if they don't work for some reason, I will be pissed )
