Heres the new PSP-3000 that everyone’s been talking about and waiting for. After months of spy picutres, FCC specs and rumored crap its here. Dubbed the PSP-3000 with some new features:

• The LCD screen will have a wider color gamut and higher contrast ratio to deliver deeper, more vibrant colors, as well as anti-reflection technology so you can see the screen more clearly when playing outdoors. As you all know, the PSP’s screen is a key strength of the hardware, and this update adds an absolutely dazzling LCD screen to the hand held.
• A built-in microphone allows for Skype calls and multi-player gaming communication directly from the hardware - eliminating the need for attaching a separate headset.

As for pirces they remain the same $199.99 bundle packs

SCEA just announced the North American details concerning the PSP-3000.
The previously announced Ratchet & Clank PSP Entertainment Pack will
launch on October 14th for $199.99. It will now include the following:

• Mystic Silver PSP-3000
• Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
• National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets UMD
• Echochrome PSN voucher
• 1GB Memory Stick PRO duo

A second entertainment pack has also been announced called the PSP 4GB
Memory Entertainment Pack. The will launch in November for $199.99 as well. It includes:

• Piano Black PSP-3000
• 4GB Memory Stick PRO duo
• Everyday Shooter PSN voucher

The Piano Black PSP-3000 will be sold separately later this year as a PSP
Core Pack, which includes only an AC adaptor and battery pack for $169.99.

Still no word on offical specs but they are said to change at any time so we still have to wait it out for that. And no word yet if its”unhackable” but will let Dark_AleX and the many other Great hackers take care of that

Even more hopeless psp owners can now save their PSPs by using Dark_AleX’s new Despertar del Cementerio V7. This time around, he has even added in an IDstorage regenerator and an option allowing control over the PSP/UMD region.
PSP-Hacks:
Despertar del Cementerio v7 changes:

• A format flash function has been added which is useful to correct problems for some that get an error when installing 4.01 M33, or to have a custom partitioning of the flash.
• An idstorage tools function has been added. It allows to create a new idstorage (including for first time, the regeneration of region and umd keys), change region (including umd region), or fix wlan mac address.
  

Of course, DCv7 will still install Dark_AleX’s neest firmware 4.01 m33.
I will include files made by zzk to use in conjunction with his tut to make a magic memory stick.

Toshiba Corp Drops HD-DVDs

Just seen the News like 20mins ago and They have Said Blue Ray WINS as Toshiba Corp Has Droped Out and Wal-Mart Is going to be ONLY selling Blue Ray DVDS

Dark_AleX just realased a new program called “Time Machine”. Don’t know much about it myself, heres the read me, so read it and learn on.

The Timemachine is a program to load previous firmwares and custom firmwares from memory stickusing pandora. Like devhook, but working throgh pandora and custom ipl’s, it would work even if the flash and nand ipl of the machine is destroyed.

The timemachine is useful to run software that is not supported anymore, and also as a way of booting psp’s even if the internal firmware is destroyed. It can also be useful for developers to test their homebrew in different firmwares.

Currently the timemachine can install the following firmwares:

- Original 1.50 (can only be loaded on the phat)
- 1.50 with some 3.40 hw modules. Can be loaded on both, phat and slim.
- 3.40 OE (can only be loaded on phat)
- 3.60 M33 (can only be loaded on slim)

Rest of cfw will be added in the future.

Requeriments of time machine:

- The timemachine itself doesn’t require any firmware, only a pandora battery.
Timemachine nand boot in slim, requires, however, 3.90 M33-2 or greater.
- The timemachine installer requires 2.71 SE or higher.

Also check this vidoe with a PSP Slim runing on 1.50 through Time Meachine

Dark_AleX just released PSP CFW 3.90 M33-2, and we all know that 3.90M33 was really buggy, but now thanks to Dark_AleX the new update should fix all toughs problems; just one more step to perfection.

Changes:

- Improvements in plugins loading code:

* Fixed some problems with problematic cards due to filesystem not mounted.
* Now plugins should read the faster.
* Problem fixed with lines with spaces at the end.

- Added the rest of regions to the recovery option fakeregion.

- (PSP SLIM): Added patches in nand ipl to allow Booster multiiplloader and TimeMachine iplloader to boot from nand.

Note: only 3.90 M33-2 and higher can be booted from nand in slim with those ipl loaders,
not official Sony firmwares or previous versions of M33.

Changes in updater:

- The 3.90 eboot downloading code is now more stable, no more freezes after selecting AP
- Memory stick write in the 3.90 downloading code is delayed the maximum possible for faster operation
(the system prefers big chunks of data written at once).

Remember you can still pick up the updates off the web site, or via WiFi connection through the Network update off the PSP, all thanks to CFW
