To quote: Guys, i was not idle again

I'm able now to decrypt lv2_kernel.self, ps2_emu.self, ps2_softemu.self and ps2_gxemu.self from 3.41 firmware by using metldr and lv2ldr directly.
I'm working now on 3.50 decryption

$ONY changes something in 3.42 and 3.50

I will get my devboard tomorrow, Let the fun begin.
Using it to update the jailbreak to play 3.50 games, at least that's what I think is the next step.
Maybe Graf could try decrypting the 3.55 update see what's new?
Sony are just being stubborn as usual, they're fighting to an inevitable loss. They can release as many updates as they want, they'll all be countered.
