PSP MAC Address Changer

**Vega** · January 6th, 2007, 13:44

gracz54 has released a little app to change the MAC address of your PSP.

If you download this, there's only one Eboot around. For the newbies, this means that if you're firmware requires two folders of the application, then you'll have to use PSP brew.

Another thing to be cautious about is that its only been tested on 3.02 OE-A. For some run-through on the installation, Just paste into psp/game150 (or psp/game). And then, run the app and press X to dump the MAC ID. Once you've grabbed a hex editor, you should be able to see your MAC in hexes at the beginning of the file.

You may actually change the MAC to whatever it is you'd want to be, but DO NOT TYPE IN NEW CHARACTERS or change anything else EXCEPT THE MAC. Why? Because it could brick if you do not heed this warning.

Hey, it sounds great! I always though it was hardware assigned and couldn't be changed. I'll give this a try...

I havent tried this myself and i know theres a brick risk if done incorrectly so please be careful

YES! It worked! I now have a different MAC address shown! Thank's for making this Vega!

Oh yes, I have custom firmware 3.03OE-A installed, if you want to know.

I didnt make this, gracz54 coded it. I just posted it up as news

Glad it worked though.

Oh sorry about that, I went stupid and rushed though the article but still it's all good anyway.

Does this just patch the IDstore? cause it wouldnt change the hardware Mac Address, it would just change the Mac Address you see in System Information

Correct me if I am wrong

This would be usefull for hiding your real mac address, if you intend to record you doing something on the PSP and need to show the screen with the mac address on it

Equin0X, Im really not sure... though I think it simply does just patch over the MAC address which is shown on screen. Again, Im not sure though.

Yeah, there is an internal IP address that is in the WLAN adaptor. This would only really be of use if you changed your WLAN adapter, and needed to change your mac address to match it... It's a dangerous program with little use.
