No payment if we cannot solve your problem,
Success rate of all flashing is guaranteed 100%. (Do beware if prices offered elsewhere are too good to be true. Many cases of inappropriate handling of PSPs)
Differences between our services and other shops
We'll fix your set and let you test to make sure everything is working on the spot before payment is made, no scam issues on this. All services should take about 15mins. (Singapore only)
We will send you a backup of your flash + idStorage permanently as well,
so that if you ever destroy your idStorage in the future,
or you end up with a FULLY BRICKED PSP,
there is a chance that we can help you restore it back to full functionality.
If you get your set modded by someone else and you accidentally FULLY BRICK your PSP,
they're not going to be able to fix your PSP back to its original state.
We provide after service support, if you have any questions regarding your PSP,
you can always contact us. This is what differ us from other shops.
We assure to deliver you the service with our professionalism.
We'll will also install the latest 1.5 kernel for you. (For PSP Fat only)
What are idStorage keys?
It's a set of unique keys stored on your PSP's flash that store information on the PSP's hardware,
like serial number, MAC address, PSP Region code, UMD reader, type of motherboard, adhoc, wifi, Magicgate,
brightness levels etc. If this is corrupted, any of these things listed could potentially be broken permanently.
The only one so far who can fix your idStorage is Sony,
as a method for idStorage key regeneration is still under research.
So you could end up with a working PSP, but a broken UMD drive.
And replacing a new UMD drive isn't going to fix it, cos it's a software problem.
It's just like replacing a new CD drive, but without fixing the drivers.
What's a fully bricked PSP? I thought there is a universal unbricker that can unbrick all PSPs?
You're wrong.
If the flash1 nand partitioning on the PSP is destroyed, even the universal unbricker won't be able to save your PSP.
There have been people who were faced with never ending BSODs due to the flash1 problem,
and were unable to run the Universal Unbricker to fix their PSP, rendering their PSPs useless.

PSP Firmware 3.90 Released •
Sony has released firmware version 3.90. Those sleek Slim owners now have official Skype support; while us Fat lamers, including myself, only get added support for PLAYSTATION®Network titles. So what, big whoop, wanna fight about it?
Stay tuned for more updates. You know the usual routine. Firmware is released, later dumped and decrypted, Skype support ripped out… Yadda, yadda, yadda…
Yet another PSPTube homebrew update from developer SofiyaCat. This January 29th release is now working with the PSP Fat again. Other changes improve the Slim’s TV out support.
Here, once installed, add this URL: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pGva3yU8RZw
All good things must come to an end… Ahman, developer of iR Shell — probably the best homebrew to ever exist for the PSP — has waved goodbye leaving behind one final release.
iR Shell is literally packed with a remarkable feature set for both Slim and Fat models — listen to MP3’s while in-game, multi-task between UMD/ISO/homebrew and any of iR Shell’s built-in functions, enjoy 2 player PSOne games wirelessly with another PSP, etc… The fun never stops!
If you’re a newcomer, I suggest you download and open the included PDF-formatted user guide to get started. You won’t be disappointed.
New iR Shell 3.9 features:
Added support for 3.80M33-2, M33-4 & M33-5. Pls note M33-1 & M33-3 are not supported due to some technical issues which I’m lazy to resolve.
Added support for 3.80 Popsloader Version 2. Version 1 isn’t supported.
The 1.5 Kernel Addon for 3.71M33 & 3.80M33 has caused some incompatibility issues with fw 1.5 iR Shell. This is now resolved.
Enhance PSP ISO compatability. Previously failed ISOs will probably work in this release.
For slim only, the nethostfs MAX mode is now compatible with WPA.
Some older firmware supports have been removed to reduce the distribution archive. This version has support for fw 1.5, 3.10 to 3.80. Also, directories EXTAPP15 & EXTAPP3X have been combined into a single EXTAPP to save space. Each APP# directory has 2 EBOOTs, with EBOOT.PBP for fw 3.x and EBOOT15.PBP for fw 1.5.
Farewell Ahman. We at PSP Hacks wish you success in your future endeavors.
Equip your Slim and grab those component cables because SofiyaCat has released a new version of PSPTube with experimental TV out support. In addition to that; the [translated] changelog says…
Experimental version of video out.
TV output cables are required.
CFW3.71 PSP-2000 (Slim) or later only.
Win, Tails of Shh adults only, please use at your own risk. (???)
Video out specifications:
screen size is 720 x480 16bit color
video out version of the operation is heavy
test is not INTARESU
“Win, Tails of Shh adults only, please use at your own risk” is likely to spark some interest as well… I’m not certain what it actually refers to, but we’ll soon find out.
Chris Swindle releasing an updated version of Furikup — that is Team Noobz’ open source homebrew alternative to Skype on the PSP.
Make phone calls to/from your PlayStation Portable using Furikup, access to a Wi-Fi spot, and any local SIP-based Voice-over-IP (VoIP) provider. Even those 1-976 numbers may work.
Please read the included documentation before use.
Furikup v0.1.12 changelog:
Logging to file is now possible using logfile= in sipcfg.ini
Those who enjoy the simpler things will definitely have use for Reineborn’s PSP SaveGame Utility…
Manage your PSP save games in an easy way. Plug in your PSP to the PC or use a memory stick reader. Start the program and it will find the savegames automatically. You can backup selected or all your savegames to your PC. You can delete them in a fast way compared with the XMB.
There is no installation program — just download and unrar to your choice of folder.
- No more lag/issue with IR keyboard ! - /notice message are now properly displayed - Add /clear command
Credits and license :
It is mainly based on the IRC engine written by Danzel, and the user interface i wrote for PSPSSH.
The IR keyboard support is based on the work of Harald Fielker.
Thanks to Snaap06 and KookBott for their work on previous eboot icons and graphics.
If you like Hookbott graphics you can still download them here : pspirc-skin.zip
Big thanks to Delight1 for her graphics, help, support, ideas, comments, beta testing, and for her good mood and kindness.
This software is distributed under GNU V2 License, see GPLV2.txt file for all details and information about it.
It has been developed on linux for Firmware 1.5 and 3.71-m33, and for the IR keyboard part it has been tested using a Targus Universal IR Wireless keyboard.
How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file.
It’s time to update those hand helds. DA has just released 3.80 M33-5. You know what to do. Enjoy!
3.80 M33-5 changes:
Fixed custom CPU clock not working in games
CPU clock has never (in any SE/OE/M33) be set at all in games that restarted using sceKernelLoadExec to use a subgame or reload themselves, after said restart happened (e.g. Castlevania). Fixed.
Added setting to recovery to hide PIC0.PNG and PIC1.PNG in the XMB game menu. By default off, when on you will probably notice a faster browse in XMB games. This setting only applies to any kind of apps/games (pbp, iso) that load from MS, but not to UMD’s.
Ah, compress it — compress it reeeal good. Oooh, baby, baby. Baby, baby. Kapoue3 has a new version of Yet Another CSO Compressor (YACC) for download. Compress those chunky ISO images to BOOSTER’s CSO and/or Uncle Jam’s JSO format. CisoPlus! is supported as well.
YACC 0.4.0.3 changes:
Russian translation by In$ane
Greek translation by koutsou.
Added the dummy boot.bin option in CisoPlus configuration panel. Save some kB or MB when you create your CSO.
TTYman’s got a brand new bag. And by bag I mean an Amiga emulator for the PlayStation Portable. Now before you start chopping heads in Barbarian, you’ll need to obtain the Amiga Kickstart 1.3 ROM. Use those crafty Google skills of yours for that. Have fun!
PSP UAE4ALL r1 highlights:
Based on latest Chui’s Dreamcast UAE4ALL and notaz’s uae4all gp2x v0.7.2a optimized blitter routines;
Maximum speedup hacks using single precision math hardware support;
Full screen hardware scaled support;
Fixed Overclock to 333 MHz while emulating, 222 MHz in menu;
Only 546KB kernel build version (1.7MB user mode build).
More features, how to work those, and all that — see readme-psp.txt.
galaxy.prx was changed to a new version that is giving problems with slow memory sticks. Reverted back to previous versions. This didn’t only affect decrypted isos running in NP9660 mode.
Just when you thought DA was gone, he’s back on. 3.80 M33-3 and compatible PopsLoader (PSX/PSOne emulator) has arrived. Need I say more?
3.80 M33-3 changelog:
Fixed synchronization issue that plugins check code caused in PSN NP9660 original games (fixes 0×80010013 error)
Added a couple of libs to the nids resolver.
Added some internal changes required by incoming 3.80 popsloader plugin.
Charge Control 0.1.0 — Take Control of the PSP Battery Charge •
Another from developer Weltall… Charge Control is an extremely simple plugin written for your convenience. It’s responsible for two functions: disabling & re-enabling the PSP battery charge.
When disabled and using the AC adaptor, your PSP will not charge the battery — for whatever reason you may have. The charging status will remain set until the PSP is powered off completely.
Disable: L TRIGGER + R TRIGGER + VOL down Enable: L TRIGGER + R TRIGGER + VOL up
Features:
[ALL] First release
[ALL] Builds for 3.7x and other firmwares
[ALL] Works at low priority and combinations are checked one time every second
[ALL] It’s possible to enable and disable battery charging immediately
Do you suck at any particular game? No longer feel powerless and incapable when it comes to defeating that final boss; just feel ashamed you had to cheat instead. That’s right — cheat any PSP game, even PSOne-emulated games — all with Weltall’s universal cheating device known as CWCHEAT.
Weltall’s crafted an email summarizing the changelog (it’s a big one…) –
I’ll start with the most interesting addition of this version: A dynamic clocker. What does it do? Starting with the cpu load, which you can see by enabling it in the setting menu, it will dynamically change the clock of your cpu up and down with up to 8 variables managing it. So you can make new more or less aggressive plans for it, just by editing the cwcheat.ini file. When the dynamic overclocker triggers, if you have the fps counter enabled you will be able to see also the change in clock. In this way you will be able to gain minutes (maybe hours depending on the game) of gameplay from your battery :D
Another interesting thing is a fix on the informations functions for > 4gb sticks so you will not get anymore your memory stick space less 4gb.
The memory editor and disassembler were fixed to work in the memory space of the psx in pops mode and not going out of the mapped area, plus now they able to generate correct codes for pops games.
For Swedish users thanks to tostoo it’s available a new translation for that language.
And last but not less important are major changes in the pointer codes which let you do a pointer copy byte and a multi address pointer write plus some more addition to the base type. For more informations check the changelog or the cwcheat wiki.
Three important notes, also stated on the changelog:
If you use 3.80m33 it’s suggested to update to 3.80m33-2 and use the 360- / MS_ROOT builds
set bus at 166 if you want the dynamic clocker to be able to go up to 333
if you use a language file update it as the old ones won’t be compatible anymore
Wanna know more? See README020EN.TXT and other included documentation.
Should you find yourself unsatisfied with Sony’s RSS implementation, have a gander at this — The Underminer’s PReSS. You may recall its initial release back in November of 2007. If not, check it out anyway.
PReSS v0.2 changes:
Image full screen - Handy for comics or another way of browsing topics
Added new category under catalogue
Added links to browser bookmarks (clicking a link will add it to the browser’s bookmarks)
Auto-update (Updates will be posted on the PReSS updates feed)
Font size
Hide feed view
Feed update combo
Prev/next unread topic button combo
Faster saving/loading feeds
Fixed leftmost pixel column bug: the leftmost column is simply not blitted anymore, which would display improperly sometimes
Added activity indicator for feed download: if it doesn’t move for 5 seconds; it never will
Presenting N3M3515 aka 51N15T3R aka Shane-O-Mak’s Bluetooth headset mod for the PSP. And for the record, it works on the PS2 as well.
Requirements:
PlayStation Portable w/ original remote
USB Box from PS2 Headset (Socom one works)
Cardo BTA II Bluetooth Adapter
2.5mm Stereo (3 conductor) plug
A Bluetooth headset
With this mod I’m able to voice chat wirelessly on PSP games like the SOCOM FTB franchise using my Bluetooth headset. In addition to working with the PSP I can also use the same Bluetooth headset to voice chat wirelessly on any PS2. In case you didn’t know if you try to play say SOCOM: Combined Assault (a PS2 game) on the PS3 without this mod you cannot use a Bluetooth headset because the PS2 game is not coded to take advantage of the PS3’s Bluetooth functionality, but with this now you can!
Step-by-step instructions are ahead… Follow the source.
Update: Dark_AleX has quickly corrected a few issues; thus releasing 3.80 M33-2!
Function scePowerGetClockFrequency / scePowerGetClockFrequencyInt was not resolved properly due to confusion between two nids applying to the same function. Fixed, this update is necessary for plugins and kernel homebrew reporting PSP CPU speed.
PSX EBOOT.PBP that have an icon of 80×80 pixels will not be replaced by Dracula icon in savedata.
3.80 M33 Changes:
HEN core: user mode can load now signchecked files from flash.
recovery: flash1 format will create flash1 directories after format. This could fix some flash1 issues with the previous versions.
Network update from dark-alex.org page. By default is enabled. You can turn it off in recovery (when off, network update will download sony updates as usual).
Nids resolver for various kernel libraries.
Users should note: “…popsloader plugin from 3.71 will not work in 3.80 M33 due to its system dependency. A new one will be rewritten for 3.80 M33.”
Emulate the CPC464, CPC664, and CPC6128 Amstrad home computer models with ZX-81’s latest. With version 1.3.3 you’ll add an extra three frames-per-second while saving battery juice — that’s 3 fps @ 222MHz. PSPCAP32 is a port of Ulrich Doewich’s Caprice32. Get down.
PSPCAP32 v1.3.3 changes:
improve speed (+3 fps at 222Mhz)
add new hotkeys: settings such as fps, delta_y or render mode can now be directly modified inside the emulator (no need to enter in the settings menu). quick save / quick load current state (no need to enter in the main menu).
Put on display from the talented developers over at realtech VR — Purple Motion & Eyeliner. I’m talking two awesome homebrew games.
Purple Motion is a fast-paced racing-style game somewhat reminding me of F-Zero for Nintendo. As realtech VR says it…
Welcome to the fastest competition of the galaxy. You will have to finish all the races before the dead line, and caution to all the traps placed on the road!
Eyeliner is, well, I don’t really know — it’s an entertaining puzzle game though, with a different approach — use your skills to maneuver around, figure things out, etc… The overview:
Welcome to the matrix. Your mission is to infiltrate the network of a large international group.
Two Updates: OpenTyrian PSP 0.9 & PSPTube 20080109 (Again!) •
Two updates, each a few days old, but still worth mentioning…
By now you’re vastly familiar with both homebrew releases. Deniska has OpenTyrian — relive the classic top-down shooter on the PSP — sitting at version 0.9 now. As well SofiyaCat with PSPTube 20080109. Enjoy YouTube & Dailymotion video clips direct on your PlayStation Portable.
What’s new? –
PSPTube, I’m not entirely sure. Although I notice the ability to delete videos from your favourites.
Details concerning Blu-ray PS3 to PSP emerge from Sony’s booth at CES 2008. Unfortunately there are no videos demonstrating the process (yet); however, some pictures and details have been released:
the PSP transfer or transcoded version of the film is encoded using H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
certain Blu-ray 2.0 discs, on the disc itself, may include the lower-resolution version; that’s the one ready for transfer
copies from PS3 to PSP over USB
So I’m wondering, you think Wi-Fi speed limitations create difficulty for Remote Play playback, or what’s the deal? There is no mention whether or not that will be possible. Also — on-the-fly transcoding using our current Blu-ray discs — that’s unlikely, by the sounds of it.
Interesting things are a brewin’ for the ol’ PSP this year… For those not following CES, here are some of the highlights:
Certain [future] Blu-ray movie releases will contain a “lower-resolution version of the film optimized for PSP.” It’s mentioned the movie would be transferred to the PSP’s memory stick. I’m curious to whether or not they’re Remote Play ready? No word on that, yet.
Sony has confirmed a GPS receiver and camera peripheral for North Americans; those are coming, “around the end of the year.”
SCEA reps have also revealed a first-party keyboard for the hand-held; that’s to be released mid-2009.
Make Phone Calls with your PSP! Furikup — PSP SIP Phone v0.1 •
Sony officially announced it for the Slim, the Noobz team officially make it happen — for both Fat and Slims! It’s beta software so please report any problems. See readme.html to get started.
Fanjita notes the audio quality needs some work, the interface needs a makeover, and video calls aren’t working quite yet. Nonetheless it’s usable and demonstrates pure awesomeness. Source code is also available for homebrew developers to advance on. Kudos team!
“Furikup” highlights:
It’s free software — in both the beer, and speech senses.
You can use it anywhere in the world, subject to signing-up to a suitable local SIP-based voice-over-IP provider and being near a usable wifi access point. e.g. with SIPGate, in the UK, you can call to your PSP from any standard phone (landline or cellphone) for just the standard local call cost, and from PSP to another SIP phone (another PSP or a PC) for free.
It runs on both slim and fat PSPs.
It uses open standards, for maximum compatibility with other phone systems.
You can use a Go!Cam (Chotto Shot), Talkman microphone, or SOCOM-style headset for audio input. (And even if you don’t have any of those, you can still send audio from a WAV file in a pinch).
This program allows you to use your PSP as a phone, using Voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology. We got a bit bored waiting for Sony to release their PSP phone offering, so we thought we’d do it for them. Such is the freedom of homebrew.
You can use your PSP to make and receive calls to and from other PSPs, or to other VoIP users, or even to standard landline and mobile telephones, depending upon the VoIP service that you use. Calls are generally free, or at least cheaper than standard landline rates - again, depending upon your VoIP provider.
This is an initial release, currently supporting audio-only calls, and with a very basic user interface. But it works, and that’s the main thing.
The VoIP engine is implemented as a standalone PRX, with a well-defined interface. As well as using our simple phone application, we encourage other developers to make use of this technology for other applications. We’re sure that someone can write a nicer user interface than ours, so please do. There’s also scope for plenty of other uses - such as a CFW plugin for calls within the XMB, or teamtalk-style add-ons for games etc. Go wild!
Great news for PSP video watching enthusiasts around the globe. SofiyaCat’s PSPTube now supports video streams from Dailymotion — another popular video sharing site. But you knew that.
Overwrite the existing PSPTube instance on your memory stick and you’re in business. Or install fresh like a virgin slut.
Wondering about the status of PSP custom firmware 3.80 M33? Developer Mathieulh has provided a status update, revealing that the firmware is nearly complete and currently boots all user mode homebrew applications.
So what remains to be done? The NID Resolver. In theory, the NID Resolver should allow kernel mode homebrew and plugins designed for previous firmware versions to run on 3.80 M33 without modification.
Apparently Sony has plans to announce upcoming Skype compatibility for the PSP during CES this year. The company hasn’t issued an official press release yet; however, Sony does in fact mention a Skype client on its CES 2008 promo site. And that seems legit enough for me.
To quote:
Call friends, talk trash to fellow gamers or catch up with acquaintances via Skype for PSP system.
The show begins January 7th and lasts till the 10th. So stay tuned!
PSPWrite v1.0.4 and Portable VNC v1.2.7 Released •
ZX-81 continues his homebrew rampage with the first two releases of 2008. Those are PSPWrite — the IR keyboard enabled text editor, and Portable VNC — the remote desktop software.
PSPWrite v1.0.4 changes:
Add select/cut/copy/paste feature
Text can be copied to clipboard and then copied to another/new file (useful to merge several files together).
New files are now named using a unique id (to prevent filename conflicts)
New background image for file requester and help window
Portable VNC v1.2.7 changes:
Fix issue with fw3x (not enough heap memory)
Fix issue with irkeyboard (linked with latest version)
For the VNC server, I recommend TightVNC. Click here to get that.
