Ok guys, first off, a little warning. With so many many fake news surrounding the homebrew scene lately, this one should be taken with a grain of salt, but apparently, a Japanese homebrew developer named MadDaemon is developing a new custom firmware to bypass the latest PSP firmware 6.20.

According to the dev, the new firmware is still in early stage of development and currently has some bugs on some homebrews and PSX games. Expect CFW 6.20 Mad-001 to be released on February 14 at 16:00 Japanese time. Real or not? Stay tuned.

Thanks to XenderRAy for the tip

It has been a long time since the last release.. (Xmas 2008).
But now its time to show the world what has been done since the last time.

So thats why the new release 0.1 Alpha is there.

Download can be found on the sourceforge page.
dxbx | Get dxbx at SourceForge.net

What has been fixed..

- Game logos are shown in the main form and can also be exported.
- The dll`s don`t need to be copied annymore to the game folders. ( this because of Xbe Loading ).
- No more creating exe files, we run the xbe files instead of converting the xbe to exe.
- We use our own dll files, not working with the cxbx dll`s
- XBEExplorer, a new tool for looking into xbe files like a PE Header viewer, then for xbe files.
- XDKTracker game list has been updated..

This are some features i can think of.. so now you can take a look also with this new setup.
REMEMBER .. THIS IS STILL ALPHA -- NO PLAYABLE STUFF --

We are still hard working on it.. and prehaps we can make a full 0.1 version..
But for now its still ALPHA !!

Here's your silver platter
In the interest of openness, I've decided to release the exploit. Hopefully, this will ignite the PS3 scene, and you will organize and figure out how to use this to do practical things, like the iPhone when jailbreaks were first released. I have a life to get back to and can't keep working on this all day and night.

Please document your findings on the psDevWiki. They have been a great resource so far, and with the power this exploit gives, opens tons of new stuff to document. I'd like to see the missing HV calls filled in, nice memory maps, the boot chain better documented, and progress on a 3D GPU driver. And of course, the search for a software exploit.

This is the coveted PS3 exploit, gives full memory space access and therefore ring 0 access from OtherOS. Enjoy your hypervisor dumps. This is known to work with version 2.4.2 only, but I imagine it works on all current versions. Maybe later I'll write up how it works

This is a good article for what it means for the less technical.

Good luck!
