There’s no 3.11 OE yet because…

When it comes to the different PSP firmwares, homebrew history dictates that a downgrader almost always follows a decrypter. Right? Right. With that said, it is logical to expect that a new downgrader will be released soon after 3.11 was successfully decrypted yesterday. Right? Well, not quite.

Word has recently been going around that  Dark_AleX won’t be making a 3.11 OE. Allegedly, he says that, 

The FW 3.11 is ready, but it’s not worthy to release because it needs a total re-flash and there isn’t any update. There will be a plugin to launch all POPS until the FW 3.11, because it’s the only thing that has changed in it.

Well, it was actually in Spanish, and this is the translated version. Anyway, provided that this is true (we checked DAX’s official site and found nothing there), we guess Dark_AleX deserves to have a break. After all, even God, Himself, rested on the 7th day. And besides, we shouldn’t forget that 3.11 was cracked using the 3.10 decrpyter, so that means nothing much has changed in terms of security.

We reported this because we believe it is important in more ways than one. First, it is a reminder that you should not tinker with 3.11 yet unless you want to commit a homebrew suicide. Another reason is that the fake downgraders that caused a lot of bricked PSP units are still fresh in our memories, and we don’t want that to happen again.

Don’t worry, guys. We’re pretty certain DAX will be back once a worthy firmware comes along, provided that Sony hasn’t given up yet. In the mean time, why don’t you just send DAX, Team C+D ,and the other great homebrew coders some well-deserved thank you notes?
