These guys have bought a flash programmer and believe that they can just flash a new firmware on the chip. They are also taliking about making a "clip-on" adapter to reflash the PSP.

I have seen NO technical knowledge displayed by them and NO information about any nof their work. The only progress they have made is first buying a PSP on ebay, which wasn't good enough for them and then getting one with a dodgy screen donated.

There has been no updates to their site since they got the second PSP and mucked around with their forums or whatever.

I don't believe you will see anything of interest from these kids. But I hope they have fun trying and learn something in the process.

My Humble opinion...

further to my previous post, Ive just been reading their website for a laugh. There was plenty...

Actually, 3 methods failed (Desoldering and reprogramming, tapping into traces, rerouting NAND traces to MSD reader) and we have infinite methods left, but we are almost positive the next will work (JTAG) because this is how Sony programs PSP's NANDs when they are on the assemply line.

Really? Thats a fact that they program NANDs that way? Proof?

If you knew that, then why not ty JTAG *FIRST* ?

The first to methods that were "tried" were not actually tried as they state that "we realised that it was a MCP"... so they didnt even research the chip before planning to hack it off.

One member first says this:

Method 4 : Under Wraps
We have decided to keep this method to ourselves until we find out that it works or does not.

then another says this:

But this isn't going to stop us, our next method is going to be reprogramming the chip through the ARM 9 processor on the PSP's mainboard, which should prove to be more realistic.

Im wondering if they assume they can just flash the eboot straight onto the chip... that would be hilarious!

We don't need scene politics here.

Locked.
