Update:

PSP 3000 Hacked by Datel

Could it be? Could the PSP 3000 be finally and truly hacked? MaxConsole answers that to the affirmative, describing Sony's (previously) impenetrable security fortress for the newest PSP model to be "now perfectly hackable".

The breakthrough was made by Datel (*gasp*), thanks to their newest tool battery that will put the PSP 3K into service mode. Okay, what does this exactly do? According to their post, service mode allows you to downgrade your PSP for you to do whatever you may want to do with it, basically.

So. Here's the deal. In order for you to enable the service mode on your PSP 2K and 3K models, you'll need Datel's new crypto processor based battery called the Lite blue Tool battery.


*Advert flash* But wait! There's more! It comes with toggle options between a service mode and normal mode, as well as a built in LED power gauge feature! Datel's Lite Blue Tool comes to your nearest store on November 28th for a mere US$ 19.99 (UK) and US$ 29.99 (NA).

Great! Security down, scan lines to go.

Alek skeptical about Datel's hack:

Alek from Dark_Alex forum speaks on Datel's upcoming;

No doubt that word on Datel's uh-mazing "hack" on the PSP 3000 with their for-sale battery has quickly spread like wildfire across the internet. But amidst the trepidation and controlled excitement, most of us eagerly await what guys in the know say about this.

We've got a statement right here, from Alek of the Dark_AleX forums, and he's obviously not gonna go into a mad rush to buy one of those things. Here's why:

You might have seen a new Battery that has come into the market, as always with a price and with a good advertising program...

Well, this post is just to answer some mails that i've recieved.


1. To have a LED indicator ON, doesn't means that you can install cfw or hack anything. Remember 088v3 mobos? Right.


2. It's spreading like a timebomb that it can be hacked and so on. Well, what any user can see is an interesting campaign to promote an article that is not yet released. It would be interesting to see.. how about an old "hello world" like on Noobz time, instead of a "buy today" call?


3. Just to remember all this things up, LED indicator ON and nothing on screen means directly what Dark_AleX explained here about the preIPL.


Would be an interesting step, indeed, in case that the protection on 3k would be sort of a signal encryption or a change of protocol instead of just a change of the battery pin communication system; so, until more proofs come into play, i would not definetly go in a rush to buy it xD.

if dark_alex says it's bogus, then it's is bogus. plain and simple. the man is the god of the psp homebrew scene and he's calling them out on it.

Rumor: Imagination Technologies working on graphics processor for new PSP?

There's nothing official yet, but word has it that Sony has enlisted the help of Imagination Technologies Group, a graphics processor core company, to work on another refresh for the PlayStation Portable.

This rumor comes after Imagination's announcement earlier this week that they've signed a license agreement with an unnamed major consumer electronics company. EETimes.com reports that some sources have pegged the unnamed company as Sony.

If Imagination and Sony really are working together, the former's contribution is expected to come in the form of their new SGX55x graphics core. Now I'm not really familiar with these cores, but a PSP with even better graphics definitely sounds good. Throw in an extra analog nub, Sony, and you've already got one customer right here.

Sony comments on PSP 2 speculation

The rumor that Sony licensed a processor for the PSP's successor got a lot of people buzzing.

Not Sony though, nuh-uh. Sony's tight-lipped as ever, and predictably refuses to comment on "rumour and speculation."

Probably too busy on making that new PSP? Kidding. Or am I? Hmmm....

In case you missed the news, the rumor slipped out of the mill yesterday, when word got out that the Imagination Technologies Group has signed a license agreement with a new partner. Sources said the new partner was Sony, who licensed a new processor for the PSP 2, the successor of the current gen.

Probably part of why the rumor got so popular is because the iPhone also runs on Imagination's tech. The iPhone's been making waves in the gaming industry lately, trying to get a piece of the gaming pie. Naturally people would perk up their ears if Sony's trying to get a piece of the Apple pie. (You've just been PUNd.)

The rumor that Sony licensed a processor for the PSP's successor got a lot of people buzzing.
The rumor mill has chucked out another one on the PSP 2, despite claims from SCEE boss David Reeves that "no, there are currently no plans for a PSP 2."

The rumor now goes that Sony will be introducing the PSP-4000, the successor of the PSP Brite, in late 2009. Its release will be followed with the the next-generation PSP 2 "later."

I admit, this is rather thin, even for a rumor, but it does show how mighty persistent talks of the PSP 2 is. Persistent rumors have a tendency to have a grain of truth. I won't say I believe it yet though.

Oh, and you probably already guessed, but Sony was already reached for comment today, but they gave their usual talk to the hand, "no comment on rumor and speculation" routine.

Recently, rumours have surfaced of a PSP2, or PSP-4000. However, Sony has announced that they have no plans to develop a new portable console. This may be due to lack of support by consumers and developers.
