PSP 3000 hacked - Datel gives the green light to PSP 3000 service mode

MaxConsole can exclusively reveal that the brand new PSP 3000 model is now perfectly hackable thanks to Datel's newest tool battery that will put the PSP 3000 into service mode. Once you're in service mode, you can downgrade your PSP and pretty much do what you want with it! The new crypto processor based battery is called the LITE BLUE TOOL battery and will enable the service mode on both PSP 2000 and PSP 3000 models. It will come with the option to toggle between a service mode and normal mode, and also features a built in LED power gauge. Look out for the LITE BLUE TOOL when it goes on sale from November 28th priced at $19.99 in the UK market and $29.99 across North America.



We've also been given exclusive information on how exactly Datel came to their working PSP 3000 solution:

Datel's Raw Science engineering division have been hard at work to unllock the protected service mode since the PSP 3000 come out in Japan last month.



“Although there were early indications that the PSP3000 had embedded Service Mode capability, it was clear that silicon level investigation would be required to understand the new mechanism” said Datel.



“Once the target IC had been identified, our engineers then de-capsulated the device and prepared it for hi-resolution SEM imaging” he added, explaining the high-tech methods employed in this project.



The engineers then used circuit extraction to reveal the additional service mode only encryption functions which were not present on earlier generation PSPs. In order to be compatible with these encryption functions, Datel created an advanced IC controller which will be put straight into use in their newest service mode battery technology.

This is EPIC!

Exactly. The screen issues are enough to not warrant a purchase. Shame, Sony could have sold a lot more PSPs.

Although this battery sounds too good to be true. As always I'll wait and see.

Yeah no doubt..i want a brighter psp, but not also a blurrier one

Hey is the PSP 3004 Fifa Edition a PSP 3000 too ?

Wow! Thats some serious hacking!!

why is datel helping the more illegal side of psp hacking?

hmm... datel coming up with a hack first? very odd.. seems to me they have a history of profiting off sceners hacks..

either way.. yeah psp 3000 is a peice of ****.. sony yet again proves theyre better at removing key features in their gaming line rather then adding them with this new PSP

...Time for the homebrew community to steal from Datel for a change.

for they can more money off the noobies who call themselves "hackers"

Good News: It's hacked.

Bad News: The screen sucks!


Oh my..

so it will go in to service mode BUT, are there apps the will load the IPL from the Memory stick?

so this should also work on ta088v3 MB PSP

do you think it will get a FREE homebrew version of make it, when it come?

Hm.. interesting

Holy flurking snit, they actually did an SEM scan?!

Color me impressed.

this can help and can be exploited allowing us to make our own. I hope.
