1.50 kernel addon version 2 for 3.90 M33 released!

[jas0nuk]

Get it below or at www.dark-alex.org


Instructions. Copy to /PSP/GAME and run.

Changes:

- TA086: when being in 4th brightness level and recovering from sleep mode, the display was black. Fixed.
- Added support in the 1.50 kernel for memory sticks greater than 4 GB. (I finally got my 8GB card! :D)
Before, only the first 4 GB portion was recognized by the 1.5 kernel.
Now, the theroetical limit is 4GB*512 = 2 Terabytes. ("only" 1 TB, if sony were using signed variables).

[MASTER100]

WoW THX:eek:

[DarkAngel88]

Oh GREAT !! 8GB support for 1.5 kernel !!! :D

It doesn't say if I need the version 1 of the 1.5 patch before... ??

[Croupier]

Sweet, thanks DAX and thanks for the heads up jas0nuk.

[Kettenhund]

I can't start the update, it says "This programm only for 3.90 M33".

I am on 3.90 M33 :confused:

Set 3.90 kernel for game folder in recovery, or put the program in GAME380 (yeah GAME380, not GAME390 :p)

[Kettenhund]

thanks! :o

[Dark_AleX]

Oh GREAT !! 8GB support for 1.5 kernel !!! :D

There is no need to. You just need the 150.PBP at root, which i forgot to say in readme.

[Chuck67]

Too bad im on a slim, but DAX im glad you got a 8GB card!! :D you deserve it more than anyting! :p thanks a million!!!

[DarkAngel88]

Ok thanks for the info !

[knuckles84]

Very Thanks Dark_Alex!! A feature a have waiting a time :D

Dark-Alex, can i post hexedited prx from the recovery an vshctrl, that user can use for the kernel3xx with a game3xx folder??

[Dark_AleX]

ok.

(message too short blah blah)

[hardran3]

Thank you once again for all of your hard work Dark_AleX! Time for me to get a 8GB card I think. :)

[gamer007]

Whoa, 8GB with 1.5 kernel. Thanks DA! :D

Now if I can get a cheap 8GB MS.

[hardran3]

Best Buy Canada has 8GB Sony MS for $129, Sandisk 8GB for 179.99. Mmmmm.... Shopping... :D

[scarletxfi]

keep up the good work!!

[dodswm]

thanks for the update :)

[kalafka]

Wait so DA, so we dont need a 390 foldeR??

[Mr305]

I wouldn't be amazed even if Sony are stunned by this :eek::D

[need4speed]

Once again dark alex you done another great job :) I wish this was on a slim psp.

[SoCalSRH]

thanks dark_alex! can't wait for the 'time machine'.

for anyone looking for a fairly priced 8gb pro duo in the states i found this earlier today, http://www.thenerds.net/SANDISK_CORPORATION.8GB_UltraII_MemStick_Pro_Duo.S DMSPDH8192A11.html

[DarkAngel88]

Ok.. quick question here.

Am I mistaken to believe that Despertar del Cementerio v4 uses the 1.5 kernel ?? If so, does a further version of this nice little app would be able to support 8 gb sticks ?? The problem is that if I want to create a magic stick on my 8gb card (yes, it works, I've unbricked lot's of psp with it !!) I have to whipe the whole content and then, install DC v4 with the usual files. If I'm not proceeding that way, DC won't be able to see any files and "Pandora ELF Menu" by jas0nuk won't be able to load any elf files.

I'm asking the question here as the post is about the 1.5 kernel and the support of the 8gb sticks ;)

[Perfidious]

Good job man! Thank you! :)

It will be added in a future version of DC along with a new ipl that will not require mspformat.

Anyways, here i leave you this prx. Copy it to /kd folder; and in all pspbtcnf*.txt file, add the following line "/kd/mspatch.prx" after the line "/kd/msstor.prx". This prx can also be used to compatibilize the big cards with all things that use a 1.50 kernel (the addons of 3.71-3.80, the 1.5 kernel part of 2.71SE-3.52M33) using the same process described. (copying to km instead of kd in 3.71-3.80 addons)

If I get this right: this patch adds compability for 8 GB sticks on 1.50 kernel for all previous DAX's CFs?

[Shin555]

I have a quick question.

If i updrage to 3.80, would the automatic Firmware Upgrader (Wi-Fi) update to 3.90?

Thanks.

[Dark_AleX]

If I get this right: this patch adds compability for 8 GB sticks on 1.50 kernel for all previous DAX's CFs?

yeah if you follow the instructions right. However in 2.71 SE-3.03 OE-B, the support wouldn't be in recovery but only in homebrew, but in the rest of firmwares the support would be complete.

[soulburn]

Thanks a lot for the clear anwser, and for the patch as well. Outstanding job!

[djkatarat]

respekt for this DA. :)

i think this convinces me to upgrade my phat to 3.90.

[InsaneNutter]

Thanks! i think its time to upgrade to 3.90 :D

[alpha]

Dark_Alex is king.

[hurtween]

What can I say???:eek:

Amazing work Dark..... above and beyond the call of duty.;)

Whatever you want to do is possible...:p

[Knocks]

What's the purpose of having a 1.50 kernel again other than running old homebrew?

[darkninja157]

thanks dark_alex! can't wait for the 'time machine'.

for anyone looking for a fairly priced 8gb pro duo in the states i found this earlier today, http://www.thenerds.net/SANDISK_CORPORATION.8GB_UltraII_MemStick_Pro_Duo.S DMSPDH8192A11.html

Actually on newegg ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171311 ) they have the blue sandisk 8gb for just under $93 :eek: . I just got the 4gb but very tempted by this price.

D_A you are unstoppable when it comes to the psp :D . Is there nothing you can't program it to do. Great work as always.

[Omegatron]

I HAVENT dont this kind of stuff in a long time I am on 3.52 m33-4 what do i have to do to get to the most updated firmware...

thanks in advance

[Lodis]

This is excellent and the only reason why I haven't yet purchased a few 8GB memsticks. Thanks Dax, great stuff. I will be able to put alot of my favourite Psx games on an 8GB :D

[akadewboy]

What's the purpose of having a 1.50 kernel again other than running old homebrew?

That's the only reason. Some 1.5 homebrew is better than 3.xx homebrew (like the SNES9xTYL ++ by Rukka)

[soopergooman]

As always D_A is tha MAN tha Man with outstanding talent for surprises and improvements. If sony updated this much D_A would have some competition in the firmware dept. LOL:D

[RDJ134]

Incredible hard working!!

I said it befor and i say it again _0_ respect _0_

Any chance your going to look in to the recent found exploits in the Playstation 3??

[reactions]

As always D_A is tha MAN tha Man with outstanding talent for surprises and improvements. If sony updated this much D_A would have some competition in the firmware dept. LOL:D

alex any fix for the lag regarding the sony memory sticks?

also someone post the top 5 homebrew / apps to download for the 1.5 kernal

Thanx for all your Hard Work DA.
Now I have an excuse to buy a new MS for that New Gold Jap PSP 1000 I just bought ;)

[3r14nd]

Thanx once again DA...Keep up the good work..

[Rockman_Joey]

I need help guys

I keep getting this error everytime I kept attempting this update

It boots but I get the error message cannot decrypt updater prx

Please help!! Thanks in advance!

Looks like a invalid 150.pbp.

[CoBrA2168]

Another great release. Even though both of the changes don't affect me, I'll upgrade just for good measure! :P

[Popsky]

Merci Dark_AleX t'assure comme toujours.

[bu22ard]

simply awesome D_A, thank you so much for all your immense work

[Michoko]

Thanks a lot DA for all those amazing CFW. I just ordered an 8 GB memory stick, and to be honest I wasn't aware of the 4 GB limit :) (I just thought that the filesystem was limiting the file sizes to 4 GB, not that the upper part of the partition was ignored).

So it seems you're saving me on this one, great timing ! ^_^

Thanks again!

Well, the limit is in 1.5-2.71 kernels. Back in those times there weren't 8 GB cards and Sony programmers probably didn't realize what seems to have been a mistake and not an intenional limit.

[Michoko]

Oh BTW Alex, I read earlier in this topic that this addon may be compatible with previous custom firmwares. Due to the problem of MS lag, I sticked to 3.71 M33.
Do you think I could just run this addon on my PSP and it would work (I don't want to take the risk of bricking it ;)) ? Or will it require 3.90 to run?

Thanks.

[Kwastie]

Thanks Dark_Alex wasn't expecting this update :) *hopefully i can use my 4gb with Pandora's battery soon*

[akiraXTC]

first, thanks dax! ;)
and...so, i know, maybe a little late, but....:
can someone tell me, if the problem with slow ms-speed on 4gig-card is gone with 3.90...?
thats the only thing, that holding me back from upgrading till now. ;)

[Xenogears V]

Thanks man!.:)

[skweezer]

thanks dark-alex

No, It's not be solved. It's sony's problem not CFW.

[kiryl]

hey guys, how exactly is this support for 8gig cards working??

if had only 3.90m33 without 1.5 addon, wouldn't i be able to use 8gig card in my psp??

I mean, what is difference for example between 3.90m33, 3.90m33+1.50_addon.v1 and 3.90m33+1.50_addon.v2 in using 8-gig MS??

-----
sorry for my English ^^"

3.90 kernel don't have the 8 GB problem, the problem was in 1.5 kernel, and thus, only affected 1.5 homebrew. (if the homebrew was in the second 4 gb portion, it wasn't bootingl).

May we know what exactly prevents >4GB in 1.5 Kernel?
And What get's patched?
:o

[dodswm]

when are you bringing out the 2TB card then D_A? :P

ok, so... if i'm running in 3.xx kernel mode - everything should be working fine while using 8gig card??
but to have everything working fine on 1.50 kernel mode a need version 2 of 1.5_addon, is that correct??

To have everything working fine on 1.50 kernel mode WITH a 8gb memory stick, you need indeed the version 2 of the 1.5 addon.

[PSPZoRZ]

Lol, 1.50 kernel was actually my excuse to not upgrade to an 8 GB... I'm not complaining though, very good DAX! :) Maybe I will end up getting an 8 GB.

[makaveli7]

8gb Dosent Work On The Slim Though Man Damn It

[Dark_AleX]

May we know what exactly prevents >4GB in 1.5 Kernel?
And What get's patched?
:o

Well, they were using a certain 64 bits variable that hold the sector offset to seek for in the memory stick raw device. When they multiplied the sector by 512 to check if the byte offset was correct, the variable was smalled down to 32 bits, and 32 bits can only hold 4GB of data (when the unit is the byte).

To begin with, using byte units when anyways only sectors can be seeked is a stupid thing. But the other stupid thing was that crappy multiplication they did mixing 32 bits and 64 bits vars.

The patch just repaces the function that validates if a seek position is correct by one of myself that does the 64 bits multiplication by 512 properly.

[piru550]

buy.com has 8gb cards $97.77. $87.77 with google checkout

[knuckles84]

@Dark-Alex

is it possible that you patch for the kernel1.5 can patch to somethink on the kernel3xx, that can make the read of MS better?

[piru550]

anyone know where cheaper than 87$ 8gb

[Bon Scott]

Dark_Alex RuLeZZZZZ!!!

Looks like an innocent error @ Sony HQ

Which 64bit datatype is used? Very curious.

[Trunks89]

Hi DA and thank you for all you did for the PSP scene!!
Sorry for disturbing you here (your PM box is full :p) but I have a little question... will you also fix fatmsmod.prx (that creates troubles with some Memory Stick's reading speed)??
Thank you...
bye

[sens8]

Dark Alex: I been trying to send you a pm, but your pm's are full..need to pm you.

[DarkAngel88]

Hmmm.. weird thing here.

I just updated my psp to 3.90 M33 and installed the 1.50 kernel patch v2. I'm trying to run a homebrew that is located in the Game150 directory but when I start it, I get the following error : "This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted." Doesn't have any error number or anything else, just the plain message.

Note that I have a 8 gig memory stick, genuine and there is like 27 mb left on it. Is the error caused by the data (the homebrew tried is the snes9x port by Ruka)

Anyone with the same issue ?

Edit : I tried 2 different versions of the file, get the same behaviour.

[DarkAngel88]

Hmmm.. I just tried something else :

I copied another 1.5 homebrew that works under both kernels (1.5 and 3.xx, it's NesterJ). After getting the same error when the homebrew was in the GAME150 directory, I moved it to the GAME3xx folder and now, I have the same error with NesterJ, error that I didn't had before moving the homebrew to the 150 directory. Like said earlier, my card is almost full (2x mb free) so it might be related...

[flamingwolf]

Sweet, time to get me a 2tb ms.

well got it working

so its all good

It will be added in a future version of DC along with a new ipl that will not require mspformat.

Anyways, here i leave you this prx. Copy it to /kd folder; and in all pspbtcnf*.txt file, add the following line "/kd/mspatch.prx" after the line "/kd/msstor.prx". This prx can also be used to compatibilize the big cards with all things that use a 1.50 kernel (the addons of 3.71-3.80, the 1.5 kernel part of 2.71SE-3.52M33) using the same process described. (copying to km instead of kd in 3.71-3.80 addons)
