News/release from Hellcat:
Back in the 1.50 days we could use tools like "Shines Savedata Tool" to dump/decrypt and resave gamesaves.... and edit them inbetween
Since FW 2.00 a few more security measures got put into the FW to prevent messing around with the savedata.
Well, while trying something different - but related - I created this CFW plugin.
This plugin makes the PSP to save the savedata in unencrypted from alongside the normal, encrypted data, and also loads it back in on savedata load operations.
v1.10
Did some major internal changes due to huge compatibility issues when actually running/using the plugin.
Should be way more stable now, hopefully running on 100% (or at least 99.9% ) of the games.
Also it's only one .PRX now, not splitted in two anymore, since the main .PRX is now a native kernel mode one.
The usual minor bug fixes
Added a new feature to patch/overwrite the SFO params/info on save (see readme)

This is the official release of my Windows XP. The main thing right now is kinda crappy, but later on in this thread I will issue new bug fixes and updates. The cool thing is that this is the only main file, all later bug fixes and attachments will be small (so you don't have to re-download the entire thing). All other questions will be answered here, most topics already covered in the read-me, including how to edit it and make it yours.

The Famitsu Marketing Data Service recently released their monthly report for January 2008, and Sony's three systems did very well in Japan during the first month of the year. Recording data from December 31st, 2007 to January 27th, 2008, 1,729,034 hardware units were sold across Japan. The PSP was the most popular piece of Sony hardware sold during the month, with almost 400,000 units. Surprisingly, the PSP even bested Nintendo's Wii in the second week of the month, selling almost 84,000 units to the Wiis' 82,000 units. The PSP's incredibly strong start gave it 23.1% of the total market share for January, which was only behind that of the Nintendo DS Lite and the Nintendo Wii.
The PS3 and PS2 didn't have a bad start in2008 either, with respectable numbers for January. The PS3 moved almost 166,000 units of hardware, taking a 9.6% share of the Japanese market. The venerable PS2 still managed to sell extremely well, moving almost 74,000 units and gathering 4.3% of the market share. While these numbers may seem light, any one of Sony's three consoles easily left the Xbox 360 in the dust, which only moved 27,000 units and acquired a meager 1.6% of the Japanese market. Plus, with all of their numbers combined, all three Sony systems accounted for 37% of systems sold in January, which is a rather good start to the year.

In case you were wondering how Sony's software performed during the month of January in Japan, the Famitsu Marketing Data Service recently broke down the sales and delivered some numbers for any curious parties. This information pertains to sales occurring between December 31, 2007 and January 27, 2008.
PlayStation 3 sold 47,000 titles while Sony's portable platform sold 279,300 titles. The PS2, even in its old age, pushed 303,500 titles. These sales translate to market shares of 1.4%, 8.4% and 9.1%, respectively -- that's almost 20% of the total market share. While no information on 360 software was provided, Nintendo's Wii and DS titles are still outselling Sony's products by a significant margin, with over 80% of the total market share for software.
Notable titles include Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and Star Ocean: The First Departure for the PSP -- both of which were in the Top 20 best-selling games of January.

Not a whole lot to go on right now, but German site HDTV Praxis has it that both Paramount and Universal will now make the obvious choice and publish their films on Blu-ray. Notably, this follows hints seen in certain Circuit City databases as well as word that we've received noting that both studios would indeed make things easy on everyone and simply support the one format still standing. Interestingly, DreamWorks isn't mentioned in the linked article per se, but we've all ideas it'll be following suit shortly.
Update: Universal's president Craig Kornblau had this to say: "While Universal values the close partnership we have shared with Toshiba, it is time to turn our focus to releasing new and catalog titles on Blu-ray."

Having already shifted some 1.2 million units over in the US, Midway has announced that it's bringing Unreal Tournament III to the PlayStation 3 in Europe on Friday, February 22.
With its hooves firmly entrenched in the multiplayer arena, Unreal Tournament III is a highly competent first-person shooter, earning itself a '9.0' when reviewed by our US team last December.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the title is the ability to download mods and user generated maps over the PlayStation Network – a near-unprecedented feature on the console landscape and a marked evolution from Halo 3's Forge-enabled content. However, US players were forced to wait a couple of weeks to fully benefit from the feature – we contacted Midway to see if there would be a similar wait over here but were unable to pin anyone down for an answer.
Regardless, it's easily in the upper echelon of shooters currently available on the PS3 and serves to further bolster the console's rapidly expanding catalogue.

Ninja Theory, the UK-based developer behind PS3 hit Heavenly Sword (and Kung Fu Chaos), has updated its website to tease us about what its next project will be. Heavenly Sword sequel or something completely different?
"Right now we're working on an exciting new concept that has got everyone we talk to buzzing," reads the website. "We can't say a lot except that it's going to be great to work on and should be even better to play! It'll take all the things we loved about Heavenly Sword and make them bigger and better than ever before."
All clear on that, then? Good.
"There are some teaser elements on this new look website," adds the post. Hit this link and have a look for yourself.
Don't go expecting too much now. All we can make out is that, what ever the game is, it doesn't like it's based in the same time period as Heavenly Sword.

Sony says its softly-softly approach to PlayStation Network will help it identify the "next Will Wright and David Jaffe".
Speaking to MTV Multiplayer, John Hight, director of product development at SCEA's Santa Monica Studios, explained why PlayStation Network hasn't been particularly overwhelmed with games.
"We're very careful about the stuff we add to our catalog. Early on as a company we decided it's not going to be about giant numbers and 'Hey, come to PlayStation Network and you'll have 5000 games, maybe three of which you actually want. Go ahead and find that needle in the haystack'.
"It's more about each one of these experiences is something special," he added, noting that Sony's decision to operate in this manner would help it to unearth visionary designers like Will Wright and David Jaffe.
Hight went on to say that PSN would see plenty more original titles, as well as a bigger budget, and larger sized games this year, while titles that include cooperative multiplayer games would be made a priority. "It's not a must-have, but we feel the competitive universe is mostly covered."
He also acknowledged that Sony was having a problem implementing a strict game pricing policy. "We have to decide, 'Gee am I going to charge more because everybody wants to have it? Or I'm going to set a price zone and everything has to reach that?' We have messed around with experimenting with prices."

Capcom has told us that the European Lost Planet PS3 demo will be out this Thursday.
That means you can get a taste for bungling around in the snow in giant robot suits while you blow chunks in enormous insects and naughty baddies with guns.
You can also enjoy a spot of it in online multiplayer battles for up to eight of you, although the full version will feature 16-player matches.
This was the same demo the US was given a couple of weeks ago - the one that was pulled down due to a few technical hiccups. Thankfully none of those should be apparent here.
Lost Planet PS3 will be out at the end of next week, and brings with it a new playable character in lovely Luka, as well as all the various patches that have been applied to the Xbox 360 version.
Capcom offered no comment on if it will need a lengthy installation like Devil May Cry 4, though, but given the outcry that caused we would be surprised if it did.

Q-Games has said it has two more PixelJunk games in development for the PlayStation Store.
The first of these will be PixelJunk Eden, an abstract puzzle game that bears a passing resemblance to LocoRoco. You are a little blob and have to eat pollen and birth flowers and become a part of the environment around you.
It's bright and colourful and was described as "kind of like an organic Mario" by studio boss Dylan Cuthbert at the Independent Games Summit in Japan earlier this week (reported by Gamasutra).
With a proposed development time of around six to seven months, Eden should be out very soon indeed - work began last June. Pop over to YouTube to see it in action.
The other title to come is PixelJunk Dungeons, a top-down dungeon crawler, although little else is known about it.
PixelJunk Racers and PixelJunk Monsters are the two already available on PSN. The former is a racing game where you have to dodge traffic while gaining speed around a little track, while the latter is a real-time strategy affair and rather good at that.
Despite all being very different, Cuthbert is keen for us to get to know the PixelJunk name and its emphasis on "simplicity, familiarity, and originality", which is why they all carry the title.
Pleased to meet you, PixelJunk.

Analysts agree that HD DVD demise is good news for the console
Sales of the PlayStation 3 could see a rise of up to 10 per cent in the wake of Toshiba's pull-out from the next generation DVD war as a result of educated consumers who have been waiting for the format war to end.
That's according to Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter, who also told GamesIndustry.biz that as well as the short term boost, the long term effect will be even more positive.
"Longer term, I think it's a huge boon for Sony, as most retail clerks will be instructed to push Blu-ray along with sales of HD monitors at holiday, so we should see a large increase in PS3 sales year-over-year at holiday," he said.
Ed Barton and Richard Cooper, from Screen Digest, broadly agree: "With the format war over, and the end of the consumer indecision resulting from it, video consumers are likely to purchase the PS3 as the most cost effective, future proof Blu-ray player," they said.
"In the longer term lower price, higher specification set-top Blu-ray players will take on the role as best entry level Blu-ray player but not within the next 12 months. This could result in a small but significant rise in the number of PS3s bought over the next 12 months as Blu-ray players."
On the question of what Microsoft's response might be, given that the Xbox 360 supported an HD DVD peripheral but with no official plans to do the same for Blu-ray at this point, opinion was mixed.
Pachter feels that while committing the Xbox 360 to Blu-ray is an option for Microsoft, either in terms of a built-in device or as a peripheral, both are unlikely - while to compete on that basis with the PlayStation 3 the company can only look towards price cuts.
Barton and Cooper feel that the demise of HD DVD won't have a negative effect on the Xbox 360, and that Microsoft will instead see benefits in other areas.
"If anything Microsoft will appreciate more Xbox 360 owners being driven to the Live Video Store as it makes more margin on HD content supply from XBL than via the HD DVD platform."
Sony is yet to officially comment on the HD DVD situation, while Microsoft has reiterated that it doesn't believe Xbox 360 sales will be affected.
"As we've long stated, we believe it is games that sell consoles and Xbox 360 continues to have the largest next-gen games library with the most exclusives and best selling games in the industry," the company said.

Open today for public beta after long last, DVD Jon's first, um, "legit" software business venture: doubleTwist Desktop, a Windows-based app intended to help seamlessly organize, transcode, and sync your various media types to devices like the PSP, Kindle, and Symbian S60 and UIQ phones, as well as share online through Facebook. (Apparently a Mac version is due in Q2.) Nary a mention of DRM stripping or the like (just a couple references to "liberating" your iTunes media -- convert it to MP3, stripping the FairPlay DRM), just a whole lot of talk about making your media easy to move between devices and share with friends.

In the Q&A session following Toshiba's HD DVD dumping event in Japan, Atsutoshi Nishida, President and CEO of Toshiba Corporation made a bit of a surprise announcement. While it remains committed to standard DVD, they have "no plan at all at this moment" to take up the Blu-ray format. He also stated that Tosh has no plans for a next-next gen format at all. Perhaps they are just licking their wounds until HD downloads become a reality

TOKYO--Toshiba Corporation today announced that it has undertaken a thorough review of its overall strategy for HD DVD and has decided it will no longer develop, manufacture and market HD DVD players and recorders. This decision has been made following recent major changes in the market. Toshiba will continue, however, to provide full product support and after-sales service for all owners of Toshiba HD DVD products.
HD DVD was developed to offer consumers access at an affordable price to high-quality, high definition content and prepare them for the digital convergence of tomorrow where the fusion of consumer electronics and IT will continue to progress.
"We carefully assessed the long-term impact of continuing the so-called 'next-generation format war' and concluded that a swift decision will best help the market develop," said Atsutoshi Nishida, President and CEO of Toshiba Corporation. "While we are disappointed for the company and more importantly, for the consumer, the real mass market opportunity for high definition content remains untapped and Toshiba is both able and determined to use our talent, technology and intellectual property to make digital convergence a reality."
Toshiba will continue to lead innovation, in a wide range of technologies that will drive mass market access to high definition content. These include high capacity NAND flash memory, small form factor hard disk drives, next generation CPUs, visual processing, and wireless and encryption technologies. The company expects to make forthcoming announcements around strategic progress in these convergence technologies.
Toshiba will begin to reduce shipments of HD DVD players and recorders to retail channels, aiming for cessation of these businesses by the end of March 2008. Toshiba also plans to end volume production of HD DVD disk drives for such applications as PCs and games in the same timeframe, yet will continue to make efforts to meet customer requirements. The company will continue to assess the position of notebook PCs with integrated HD DVD drives within the overall PC business relative to future market demand.
This decision will not impact on Toshiba's commitment to standard DVD, and the company will continue to market conventional DVD players and recorders. Toshiba intends to continue to contribute to the development of the DVD industry, as a member of the DVD Forum, an international organization with some 200 member companies, committed to the discussion and defining of optimum optical disc formats for the consumer and the related industries.
Toshiba also intends to maintain collaborative relations with the companies who joined with Toshiba in working to build up the HD DVD market, including Universal Studios, Paramount Pictures, and DreamWorks Animation and major Japanese and European content providers on the entertainment side, as well as leaders in the IT industry, including Microsoft, Intel, and HP. Toshiba will study possible collaboration with these companies for future business opportunities, utilizing the many assets generated through the development of HD DVD.
Here is something interesting during Q&A:
Q: How many HD DVD players and recorders, exactly, did you sell?
A: 600,000 players in the US -- 300,000 of which were Xbox 360 HD DVD drives. 100,000 units were sold in Europe. And about 10,000 players and 20,000 recorders in Japan. So about 730,000 units worldwide. You would think there would have been more HD DVD drives sold during the $100 fiasco price drop at Best Buy, Walmart, Circuit City, etc.

http://kotaku.com/357883/ps3-hits-105-million-sold
An Associated Press business article, dedicated mostly to the impending conclusion of that stupid, distracting "format war", has buried in its conclusion some PS3 sales figures. According to the piece, Sony have now sold 10.5 million PS3 consoles since launch. Which is good news for them, as it puts them squarely on track to meet their goal of selling 11 million by the end of March, a target they set themselves last December. Oh, before you go, those who like to dabble in the odd bit of conjecture and speculation should note that it's been Sony policy for a while now to count "sold" as sold, not shipped.
Sony's Blu-ray DVD format could prevail.
