The new PSP firmware 5.02 was just released an hour or two ago, and already it's been dumped. [Only Registered users can see links . Click Here To Register...] from the Console Spot forums was successful in actually using [Only Registered users can see links . Click Here To Register...]'s [Only Registered users can see links . Click Here To Register...]. Full notes on SchmilK's progress are as follows:


Yesterday was also saw NewPSARDumper for 5.x that will decrypt the [Only Registered users can see links . Click Here To Register...] files and works perfect with 5.02


Also in the f0 dump is found a 01-12-3G.bmp which can be changed to 01-12.Bmp and enjoyed by everyone.




Since there are PSN updates, I started looking at the NP files and I flashed a decrypted 5.02 version.txt and npinstaller_plugin.prx and woowoo im on the PSN using 5.00m33 :P


quick look at some other files... Paf.prx has 1 change.. the magic bit that says what file version it is: 0x00167c80


5.00 10000005
5.01 10010005
5.02 10020005


npadmin_plugin.prx the same at offset 0x00039EB5
npsignin_plugin.prx the same at offset 0x0000B0E1
npsignup_plugin.prx the same at offset 0x00047585
npinstaller_plugin.prx has LOTS of changes


vshmain has lots of changes And they are stupid...at the end of a string of [Only Registered users can see links . Click Here To Register...] data that is different the last 2 digits go from say 94 to 96....and that small jump in numbers is found ALOT like that :-/

We've yet to hear from Dark AleX if he's planning to release a CFW 5.02 M33 or some sort of patch. Question is, will he even be bothered to create one? Details on the OFW 5.02 are still sketchy - investigations on its full extent on "security updates" are yet to be seen.

While we're waiting for more info, if you're a homebrew dev, you might want to use this as an opportunty to check up on your application or game to see how it's running on the latest firmware - given that you've updated your PSP already, of course.
