Could we you this exploit to get a firmware 2.6 dump? That way devhook would be able to emulate firmware 2.6 and I could actually play my monster hunter freedom UMD instead of watching it collect dust.

DOWNGRADER AHOY!!!!! or not?

Cooe14,
I think you can crack the encryption of a firmware if you have kernel access, which would lead to it being decrypted, and then we could emulate it on DevHook. So, yes, I think this leads to 2.6+ firmware emulation once they get it working.

gotmilk0112,
Read my last post:

You might be thinking: but you just said the encryption could be cracked with kernel access. However, I was talking about the firmware encryption, not the IPL encryption. We can decrypt 2.5 firmware, but we still don't know the IPL encryption, so we can't make a downgrader for it.
