Homebrew development: Sony PSP Slim's firmware 3.60 dumped

In this particular news bit we'll be reporting details two topics you guys may be very familiar with: The PSP Slim, and developer Dark AleX.


The first news bit goes that coder Mathieulh (aka Math) has successfully dumped the Slim's 3.60 firmware. To prove this point, Math posted a screenshot taken of the Slim's kd folder in the flash0 directory. That would be the screenie displayed to your right. At the moment, Mathieulh won't divulge any details on how this procedure was pulled off - this exercise simply proves that hacking the Slim is possible.

What makes this news all the more exciting is that Mathieulh reports the dude who helped with the dump is none other than Dark AleX. Yes, dear readers - the famed CFW creator seems to have gone out of retirement (or is it now a sabbatical?) to take a crack at Sony's latest handheld offering. Then again, maybe that's just our wishful thinking.

Both of those items are HUGE news! At this rate the slim will be well on it's way to being hacked before I ever hold one

YAY! Dark_AleX! I hope he has returned, noone else on the scene has missed him as much as I have! Who knows maybe the PSP slim will be hacked sooner than we think.

I love this news because I literally just bought an ice silver psp today! I am so glad to hear this news! Warning!!!!!!!!!!!! You really need to get used to the new slm psp slim becaue it is really light and also the smooth finish in the back of the psp makes your hands really sweety so I would like to call this new psp the "PSP SLIME"

great news, and soo soon, looking forward to it. if it is successfully hacked like the current psp cfw now easy to drag and drop iso's i would def. go for it. xD
