PSP Firmware 6.00 Decrypted and Analyzed
greg | September 11, 2009

The GEN team has de-crypty-crypted PSP firmware 6.00, analyzed those unencrypted bits and bytes, and has now shared their findings…

Here’s what up –

(Translated by way of Google Translate)

First:

We have therefore launched a program to compare files of 5.50 and 6.00. You see below the result which indicates that all files are different and have been recompiled (normal since the change of key), and you can see the newcomers of firmware 6.00 – Rated Only in (first) – and disappearance compared to 5.50 – Rated Only in (seconds).

For that list; see here.

Second:

The PRX system directory that you were all set to jou(?) and again, there is a change. Note the appearance of PRX following: codec_01g.prx, codec_02g.prx, codepage.prx, libgameupdate.prx, libmp4.prx, mlnbridge_msapp.prx, mp4msv.prx, np_campaign.prx, power_01g.prx, power_02g.prx, umdcache. prx, usb1seg.prx, usbdmb.prx) and disappearance of others codec.prx, idmanager.prx, impose.prx, power.prx, umdcache_02g.prx, usb1seg_02g.prx.

Third (Conclusion):

The first stage of the discovery of 6.00 has therefore been reached and our team of developers will therefore continue its investigations to try to bring us more information about this topic. Note that Dark_Alex said he was not working on 6.00 M33 and that for the moment, no public 6.00 GEN is still expected.

The “no public 6.00 GEN is still expected” throws me off… I’m not sure if that’s an error on Google Translate’s part or what. If anyone is able to provide a better, more accurate translation, please do so in the comments below. Thanks.

Props GEN.
