PSP-3000 hacked by Datel






i still need to buy a pandora's battery for my first gen one and get doom playing on it again... good times.

edit:
datel has been the "other" game shark since the ps1 days. i'm surprised to see they are still around, hacking sony's game systems

This isn't a gameshark type thing though. It's a reverse engineering encryption cracking mod chip type thing. Not just modifying game code addresses. Not even Dark_AleX could do this and he's like the PSP hacking guru! Then here comes Datel lol :D
 
i'm referring to what datel was in 95 ;D

a pic from an old game magazine that had a walkthrough for the second half of ffvii and tomb raider 2 in it haha
 
Holy Crap I was involved with the Pandora Battery and now Datel steals it (i wish). And dont buy a pandora battery, PM me for details to make your own, I have all the files needed.
 
Just read this and it explains exactly what they did. Crazy stuff. Took the silicon off the IC then put it under a microscope to read the encryptions lol wut
 
I get that but my question is how can looking at the chip tell you what the software does? If service mode is there It can be (and most likely is) coded in (hence the pandora battery) you just have to find the code that does it.
I guess what i am trying to say is how is me stripping mu CPU going to tell me if it can run Windows, OSX, or Linux?

EDIT: I am part right I think but they had to strip it to find the right traces to activate to access the code. From the looks of this though it is useless as no IPL has been made to work.
 
But you know sony has to have something similar to Pandora, when they get a bricked psp from when someone accidentally shut the psp off. i think it was one fo the people from sony who leaked the info out to Datel, and then they made the battery. But either way i can be assured that if i buy a psp-3000 i can hack it !!
 
that would be nice to make my own out of my psp1000 (bought it first week it was out)

i need a new battery so its ok if i mess up the one i have i suppose.

maybe when i get a real job i can get a new psp and hack it and play old ps1 games on it :-[

Because you bypass the encryption so you can look at it. Then they figured out how to get around it, that's what the IC controller is used for. To redirect around the encryption and straight to service mode. That is my understanding lol :D

That's not out of the ordinary. Lots of companies do this.

Yes, that's where the pandora battery came from.. It was originally an in-house tool Sony used to set PSP's to "service mode" so they could reflash their firmware for debugging etc.. It was a debugging tool used by sony, someone hacking a battery figured this out, made their own, and realized you could use it to flash custom firmware in order to play homebrew and backups.

Well obviously since they already readily possessed the tools to do it ;D but i dont read about this kind of stuff everyday soooooooooo its relatively new to me.
 
DANG IT now I am gonna get my PSPs out and start hacking again as there is CFW 5.0 (been out of the scene for a long time)
 
Well, I still won't be getting one. It's still the same hardware, just added a mic and a new FAILscreen (won't get one until that's fixed, which I doubt it will). Overall I don't even care about this lol.
 
Yeah but after reading the forums it might be neat to replace the screen with a 2000 model (my next hack is in the makings, so much for saving up for christmas). Now to order a 3000.
