PSP - Don't use CIntro Modifier V.1.02 & CIntro Flasher v.1 on FW 3.03OE

[tsurumaru]

Hi all,

Since many people seem to be unable to read the readme in Cintro Mod V 1.0.2 I thought I would post this as news to hopefully reduce the number of bricks occuring.

If you use V 1.0.2 on FW 3.03OE you will brick your PSP! You won't be able to go into the recovery menu.

Reason:

"The 3.02OE-B vshmain.prx in module is different from 3.03OE-A's so the program hex edits values that arent ment to be edited as they are in different places.

aka. brick."

To counter this a new version for 3.02OE - B & 3.03OE- A & 3.03 OE - A2 has been released.

This version should be safe but remember flashing your PSP always has a risk.

Ah, on the other psp forums where im registered around some guy did too.
Why does this brick anyway? Is there a major difference between 3.02/3.03? Or is it because of the different encryptions?

Someone did here too and he hasn't stopped whining about it since, He even has a massive sig to comment on it.

coders should take more precaution!!

I´ve heard of a few bricks myself. It´s a shame. That´s why I stay away from those utilities.
But most bricks are caused because people don´t pay attention to the readme. Kind 0f crazy to install something that writes to flash without the readme

Stupid Question Time!!

WTF does this Program do besides, causing Stupid People to brick there PSP's™?

What if any, is the purpose of such a Program.
Surely there must be some benefit(s) to gain, by risking a bricked PSP™...

The Cintro is the coldboot (start-up screen, the one that says Sony Computer entertainment.) This is a program to put a custom start-up video in, much like a custom gameboot.

it's an app that replaces the sce boot with a pmf file.

But at least you are gracious enough to take the blame. Kudos to you.
But some people are not so gracious.
Please bear in mind that when this program was released 3.03OE in any of it's forms were not available so Kando and Team FWI didn't know to warn people it wouldn't work on 3.03OE.
