Epsion Bios Beats all Sony Protection With the Undiluted Platinum Modchip ?

[mog]

Hmm, I saw the video demo of Epsilon bios and was very impressed by how functional it looked.
It's interesting to hear how they decrypted 2.71...
"some hardcore trickery", now why did no one else think of that?!
So now they they found out about the encryption method and how to obtain the encryption keys...
So couldn't they also find a way for us to sign our homebrew so it would just run on fw 2.71 anyway???
Hmm, I guess there are still problems with doing that, but I still don't see why it is seen as impossible?

you must upgrade your PSP onboard firmware to 2.71 in order to use Epsilon BIOS.

I'm not sure I would be able to force myself to do that!
After all me and fw1.00 have gone through... I don't think I could just kill it and shove crappy 2.71 over it's grave!
Would it not be possible to put Epsilon + fw2.71 on the modchip and piggyback fw1.00 from onboard flash?

warning: do not get the modchip until this is confirmed real~!

The mod chip is definitely real...it has been available for a couple of weeks now.
You can watch people use it on YouTube and watch people install in at TeknoConsolas (spanish) and soon PSPHacking101.
I also have the modchip, but I haven't installed it yet...
I just don't have much reason to install it at the moment...(and maybe still a little scared... )

oh I ment the bios not the modchip. Sorry.

If anyone cares epsilon bios is available for download at psp-hacks

I only just noticed that... most PSP sites haven't posted about it yet!
MaxConsole aparently put it on their website about 10 hours ago - 9:30 PM UK.
Not even pspupdates have it yet...

the answer to this is this - they didnt find the ENcryption keys but they found the DEcryption keys. the encryption keys are kept at sony and are not anywhere in the psp at all. also sony can change how they encrypt the data at any time and there are many different ways for them to do this so even if you had the keys you would need to know the methods as well.

i just downgraded my brothers psp from 2.71 to 1.5 and it bricked with no mod chip. just making sure that there is no way to fix this before i return it to bestbuy.

When you say it bricked, be a bit more specific for instance:

Did it brick while you were downgrading?

Did it brick while you were installing something like custom game boot, font, etc?

Do you have custom firmware installed on it?

I bricked it whille downgradeing from 2.71 firmware to 1.50. everything was going fine till it froze after 5 hours and would not do anything after restarting it.
