*Update* FW3.00 and 3.01: what’s the diff?
Has everyone settled down from the whole buzz of Noobz’s 3.00/3.01 Dumper and Decrypter? Yes, we do believe in magic, in fact. But for those who’d want to get into the nitty-gritty of the technical mumbo-jumbo, maybe you want to know some inside information about the magic. Besides, when it really comes down to it, what really are the core differences of FW 3.00 and 3.01?
The other day, 0okm was able to find out some 3.00 file changes. And now with FW 3.01 out, being the fine programmer that he is, he was able to narrow down three modules that are different:
- kdlflash_fatfmt.prx
- kdumdman.prx
- vshmodulelicense_plugin.prx
According to him, the second module in the list is possibly the one which solves some bugs with Jeanne d’Arc. The third module, in his words, is to “strengthen security”. For the module to be titled “license plugin”, you can assume right away that it’s something concerning security or whatnot. He also noted that all the other modules weren’t changed or were simply renamed from a version .00 to .01.
From what we could see in 0okm’s list, nothing was changed in a majorly drop-your-pants-off way that you’d want to call your mom for. It is, after all, just a hundredth of a notch, from 3.00 to 3.01.
Update: Hello, some random QJ blogger here putting an update on Gino D.’s article. We’ve received reports that the descriptions of the differences between 3.00 and 3.01 are not accurate.
The blog entry above shared with you what 0okm thought were the possible reasons for the differences in some of the modules – and that’s interesting reading. Even though what 0okm says isn’t absolute terminal dogma, it still has the backing of experience. But wouldn’t it be nice to know how accurate they are?
Are 0okm’s analyses of the new firmware correct or not? We will update this blog as soon as we can verify the reports one way or another. Meanwhile, let us extend our gratitude to busy developers like 0okm and Dark_Alex and Noobz and all of the others who share with the rest of the world their findings, opinions, and insight.
