Firmware 3.03 – Download + Devhook details

UPDATE: Well unfortunately, the problem is a bit bigger than what was originally thought. While the keys for most modules are unchanged, it seems that the keys for the loadcode and loadexec modules have been changed, plus they have been tagged differently. While many of the modules are decrypted, the problem is that a lot more modules are left un-decrypted, which means that Devhook emulation is currently not possible.

At this point, I won’t speculate about when it will get decrypted. Let’s just hope for the best! Also, thanks to Mathieulh for clearing up the confusion.


Firmware update 3.03Yes, the latest firmware for the PSP is out! But just like the last few updates, this one offers nothing great unless you’re lucky enough to have a PS3 with you. Here’s the single update which is listed on Sony‘s official site:

Don’t worry though, we do have something to be excited about. I talked to my friend Birdman a while ago who gave the news that even though it’s currently unusable with the latest Devhook, the problem is quite minor. It seems that Sony hasn’t changed the decryption keys, which means that a lot of stuff gets decrypted. The only problem is that they seem to have changed the PSAR layout which means that psardumper gets confused while decrypting.

Obviously, this means that psardumper can easily be modded to check for a different layout when decrypting this firmware. And since it’s open source and well maintained, we should be expecting a modded version soon. Anyways, even though most of you know this, let’s just make it clear, shall we?


This firmware is currently non-homebrew-able. Please don’t upgrade with the hope of it being cracked anytime soon.


Now that we have that out of the way, here’s the download for firmware 3.03.
