Possible Solution For PSP Bricks Coming

Posted by x3sphere on August 21, 2007 @ 6:25 pm


You may have heard the story, one of Team M33’s more recent updates contained a protection which relied on a unique decryption algorithm. If the respective update file was modified, then the data being flashed to the PSP would effectively become corrupt.

Obviously, it was explicitly stated in the included README file to not modify the updater. However, an unnamed site took upon the liberty to modify the file’s contents and did not warn their visitors. In effect, people downloading the update from that site ended up with a bricked PSP.

However, it seems that all hope is not lost for these people. Fanjita and Team Noobz hope to develop a way to fix these bricks in the near future. The solution, currently, will be *only* for bricks caused by the M33 update.

Hopefully they managed to find a way to fix those bricks. Anyways, seems the ps3**** site has posted the following response (in my opinion, it is bs):

Update: Dark_AleX, M33, and Wildcard have now publically responded stating they do not intend to stop harassing the owner of PS2Ownz and his family as long as the PS3News Web site is online. First and formost, ************ is a news site and will never be taken offline due to threats made by terrorists regardless of what personal information is published. Secondly, as a result of some irresponsible Web masters failing to comply and remove the personal data the owner of PS2Ownz has already received numerous phone calls ranging from Kansas to California with each number being documented as a harassment occurrence.

The identities and location of Dark_AleX and those behind M33/Wildcard (approximately 16 individuals) are known and will be included in the harassment charges to be filed with the proper authorities, and all Web sites who continue publishing this personal data and/or files containing this data leading to the continued harassment will also be cited with direct links to the offending material hosted on your servers used as evidence. Should anything malicious beyond harassing phone calls happen to the owner of PS2Ownz or his family as a result, criminal conspiracy among other charges will be filed in addition to harassment against all parties involved. This is no longer a game, as you are now jeopardizing the life and well-being of an individual and his family.

With that being stated, for those not involved in this horrific situation our Forums are now reopened with the exception of the PSP Forum which will remain closed along with new Registrations until further notice.

Although nobody can change the past, we will be doing everything in our power to ensure the future of ************ and see that ALL news/releases are being reported properly from this point forward.

I don't understand why the name of the irresponsible site that did this is being concealed. Wouldn't it be a good idea to, I don't know, WARN the internet community?
