The deciphering of 6.00 by our team has just revealed a strange thing: there are traces of 8 models of PSP ... not less.
Our team is progressing on parsing firmware 6.00 and has made a fun discovery. If it does not revolutionize the world or even find an answer today, it will at least make us ask questions about the future of the PSP.
Since December 2004 (date of the PSP in Japan) in March 2005 in the U.S. and in September the same year in Europe, the PSP has not ceased to evolve physically and technically without changing its main characteristics. Thus the memory doubled, screens have improved, autonomy is better and, finally, he left a PSP each year for three years now (PSP-2000, PSP-3000 and PSP Go).
But why talk about it? Good question. Each evolution of the PSP led at least one new function, but especially new PRX dedicated. Thus for the same function, the PSP-1000, PSP-2000 and PSP-3000 do not all have the same PRX file to run. (Editor's note: there is still the PRX in common, but here we are talking about specific) c''est at the time of installation and depending on the model that the correct file is copied. For the record, the files for the PSP-1000 has a prefix _01g those PSP-2000 _02g those of the PSP-3000 _03g and we had found in section 6.00 of the New Hidden: a new pops made appeared, those of the PSP Go have a nice _04g.
Turning to the topic of the day, there is a file that is used to manage information of regions and models of the PSP which is called index_0xg.dat and today gives us valuable information. Indeed, the 6.00 firmware may be able to load a file that supports index_0xg.dat extensions _01g to _08g Funny is not it? Sony is therefore to integrate the ability to manage prx next 4 models of PSP. Oldest should remember that modules _02g had already appeared in firmware of the PSP-1000 before disappearing in an update next and finally to return with the release of the PSP-2000. We may be here in the same case: a discraction before precipitation Listed.
Note that these numbers may be associated with prototype, debug versions or new machinery being tested. Not easy to know what to conclude on this subject, but anyway, Sony seems to see beyond his laptop and it is rather good news.
