Russian PSP hacker mc707 has released EBOOT Patcher v1.0 for Sony's PlayStation Portable, which will allow you to play 5.55 / 6.00 games on 5.00 M33-6, 5.03 MHU, 5.03 GEN-A and other Custom Firmware.

Note: It doesn't work alone, as you'll need the 5.55 & 6.00 PSP Game Decrypter v2 and PRXdecrypter v2.3.

Back in June, iQD and me worked on a PC client messenger to write with people who are online via their PS3 in the PlayStation Network.

Anyway, now we...

Well, it's not actually an E3 post but if Sony held an E3 for PS3 Devs they may have offered these, right?

Today xorloser has posted an update to his previous PS3 ELF/SELF/PRX/SPRX PPU Loader for IDA v5.2.

To quote: I’ve been busy digging into the PS3 lately, I decided it’s finally time to see what secrets can be extracted from it. During my investigations I found that level-1 syscalls, a.k.a. hypercalls, are not handled by IDA so I decided to add support for it to the existing PPC...

To quote xorloser: I’ve finally gotten around to finishing my SelfTool for manipulating Self and Sprx files. Self files are like exe files for the PS3 and Sprx files are like dll files for the PS3.

Among other things, SelfTool can be used to print out information stored in the file in a readable format to make studying them easier.
