3.72 Hx-2 Custom Firmware Update

[wraggster]

Coolj has released an update to the 3.72 HX-1 Custom Firmware, heres the details:

3.72 HX-2 UPDATER

MINI UPDATE INSTALATION:

This updater will update your 3.72 HX-1 to 3.72 HX-2.

Put the EBOOT.PBP in the folder PSP/GAME/UPDATE.Run it,it will flash the new files.

FULL UPDATE INSTALATION:

This update will install 3.72 HX-2 on PSP's from 3.71 M33-1 to 3.

Put the EBOOT.PBP and the umodule.prx in the folder PSP/GAME/UPDATE together with the 3.72 original EBOOT.PBP renamed to 372.PBP.
Run the updater and follow the instructions.

CHANGES IN THE UPDATER:

- This new updater will prevent that the user shuts the psp down or put it in stand by,some people requested it.
- The new updater will save your recovery configuration for 3.72 HX-2,so no need to put all from 0.

In case the updater can't get the config,put these in enabled:

- skip sony logo
- hide corrupt icons
- Sony UMD mode

- The updater will check if some of the components are corrupt,this was a user request too.

CHANGES:

- Contains the latest 3.71 M33-3 changes.
- The file vshctrl.prx IS NOT the one from Dark_AleX,It's coded by me after reversing it 100%.

The exported functions from the vshctrl.prx are the same like the 3.71 M33-3 SDK,plus two more:

1. int vctrlVSHEraseIsoCache(con st char* path) -> Lets you erase the cache from an iso created by the CF.
If the parameter is empty "",it will erase the whole cache,not just from one iso.

The iso cache will not be created in the memorystick.It will be in the flash1.I made this function to test stuff faster.Gives a 0 if it deletes correctly else it will give -1.

2. int vctrlVSHMakeCFDirs() -> Lets you create the custom firmware directories,in case you dont have them(GAME150,GAME372...)i n the memstick.Good if you have a pandora memstick and cant format the ms but dont want to create all directories by hand.


- Only one vshctrl.prx for both psp models.In 3.71 M33-3 and others there was a vshctrl for the fat and an other one for the slim because they have slight changes.This new vshctrl will detect if you got SLIM or FAT.

- Other non important changes in the code.

PS. I dont have much time,so,I still have to update alot of stuff of the custom firmware,create a new recovery, etc,
I release this update because,1- For the people that believe in me and have 3.72 hx-1 so they can have the new 3.71 M33-3 features and to show the people that i dont just do hex edit,you can see it reversing the vshctrl if you dont believe.

Ok is good that is not just hex editing, but for now I'm sticking to 3.71 M33-3.

Hope we can see some more good work on later firmware updates

I'm sticking with 3.71 M33-3. But it's cool to see that this guy has the guts to keep making Custom Firmware. So, if Dark_AleX decides to leave one day, this guy will be here for us.

Two questions:
Does this have a working POPS?
Does popsloader work?

Coolj did not release this and it is clear from what is added to this custom firmware that it is merely a rip of M33.

I'm waiting to see what this guy will do when Alex leaves.

[IM back!]

give the guy some time.

[DarthPaul]

Yeah, Coolj didn't release this. What the hell?

Yeah, this is just lame So what if he's moved on from hex editing, I bet other files like sysctrl are still untouched.
