Flash0 of PS Vita PSP Emulator Dumped, Leaked

by Mike Bendel on May 1, 2012 @ 2:02 pm


Last March, well-known homebrew developer Davee revealed that he gained kernel access within the PS Vita’s PSP emulator and released a partial reverse of Kermit, an API used for communication between the emulated and native environment. Now another developer who goes by the Twitter alias “The Z” has leaked a complete dump of the PSP emulator’s flash0 memory – which was obtained from Davee’s private exploit.

The contents are decrypted and include user and kernel keys.

Mike the OP said " full of drama and no respect for fellow developers ", did he mean the hackers as devs or the sony devs?

luiscesjr says:

Ah, sorry, got it, he meant Davee, because of the leak.

Dan says:

I can confirm this

Chathurga says:

What age are these people, seriously, that's something a child would say. Davee should looking out for no. 1 from now on, this guy is getting tons of traffic that at the very least should be directed towards a site Davee owns. These people do not deserve your free work Davee, you deserve a financial return on this.

BlackSheep says:

Davee does not owe us anything

eldiablov says:

Quit being an asshole Davee.

Trigun says:

Lol@ all the ego issues.

I can never understand why spam bot programmers always write their bots to quote a small subsection of someone else's post, it's blatantly obvious=-\

as for topic, if I'm reading this right, it's still only for the psp emu, not anything to do with vita directly.

Davee says:

Thanks for all your support guys. It's been a rough few days coming to terms that you mere mortals are now on the same technological level as me on PSV hacking. However, I've accepted what has happened and will grow stronger riding on the backs of the community's achievements. Especially thanks to eldiablov for he shared his chase that cheese source code which powers the core of 6.60 Roe VITA.

Thanks a lot eldiablov.

eldiablov says:

That's alright man

Hellcat says:

wtf....

Leave Davee alone.

I dealt a lot with him in the past, and everytime I had a question or got stuck at some point, he answered and helped me when he could - so much for "not sharing blah blah"....

geez....

Of course it sucks that he doesn't release all his kernel exploits to the public the day he finds them, but take a second and ask "WHY?".

The answer is more than obvious: if he would, Sony would patch it the same day with a forced FW update.

Keeping it private gives a couple of people at least SOME time to use it to find out more - until it's then leaked, released or otherwise patched.

Meowth, by know you should know how this things are. The only people who get any respect are those who share the material, and those that don't are "just a bunch of pricks".

Sad that it's come to this so early, but I guess the battle for the biggest e-peen has just begun... and in the end, there can only be one.

Hellcat says:

Yeah.... I already see the Vita "scene" going down the same drain as the PS3 one.

And if it really does, I surely will not be a part of it.
