some1 , the newest addition to the PSP Scene, has just updated his homebrew signed to downgrade your PSP to OFW6.38/6.39 6.20/6.35. This result is possible because the vulnerability has been discovered on the downgrade to 6.38 OFW, was not blocked by SONY on OFW 6.39 , released just a few hours ago.
Reminder:
- All PSP 100X support the downgrade to the 6.20 OFW .
- All PSP 200X support the downgrade to the 6.20 OFW including those with a date code 8C.
- All PSP Go support the downgrade to the 6.20 OFW .
- For PSP 300X , the downgrade is possible also to the OFW6.20 except those with a date code is 0A, 0B, 0C and 0D , also called the PSP 3000 or 7G 9G .
The downgrade of the latter will be towards the OFW 6.35 .

Progress on the return of Linux on PS3 have been substantial in recent months thanks to CFW and Dual Petitboot.
The latter, however, posed another compatibility issues with PS3 features a 256MB NAND Flash (PS3 FAT). This last barrier has been lifted since the developers said they managed to hold together the two protagonists.
A guide should quickly be made available to PS3 users.

A hacker named No_One published a PDF hackers supposed to help better understand the firmware 3.6x with the aim to help get the decryption key of said firmware and create a CFW.
The document is based on the use of a dual system firmware through the integration of a second NOR Flash / NAND. Although the presentation is clear, the content is nevertheless technical and requires some knowledge.
All this remains theoretical and there is no evidence that this information will achieve the objective.

A developer on behalf of some1 has just completed a feat flawless launching this morning signed a homebrew to do the downgrade on the PSP with firmware 6.38.
He launched his feat on the occasion of his participation in the "PSP Genesis Competition" forum wololo.
To perform the downgrade, people with PSP 6.37 OFW must pass official firmware 6.38.
The downgrade of some1 is a port of Davee 6.35/6.31 downgrader for the 6.38 official firmware, it allows the passage OFW 6.20 In order to use a HEN or CFW 6.20.
Regarding compatibility, some1 says his homebrew signed works well with:
- All PSP FAT 100X.
- All PSP Slim 200X.
- All PSP GB
- The PSP 300X are not all compatible, the exception is made for the PSP 300X motherboard with 7G and 9G recognizable by their date code (0A, 0B, 0C, 0D).
These models are problematic because they readily come with firmware 6.3 + so do not support a firmware below.
Good news, the author notes that although they do not support the downgrade to official firmware 6.20, it will do its best to allow the downgrade to 6.35 official firmware which allows the use of CFW 6.35 PRO B5.
User Guide:
Before you begin, the downgrade is risky, so be aware of what you will do, yet it nya recorded no case of brick with this downgrade.
Certain measures can prevent problems, memory card of good quality, well-charged battery and especially leave the charger connected to the console to avoid unpleasant surprises.
- If you are still OFW 6.37, 6.38 OFW switch to using those prior firmwares.
- Once the PSP OFW 6.38, 6.38 remove this update on your PSP.
- Place the update 6.20 OFW on your PSP
- Then put the folder containing the eboot 638 downgrader. PBP in the folder PSP / GAME / MS memory card or internal memory of the PSP Go
- Start the homebrew from the XMB signed (tab game) and follow the instructions.
- In a few seconds the PSP will reboot to update the official firmware 6.20, just follow.
- Then the PSP will reboot and you'll get a BSOD (blue screen of death)! do not panic, just click on the circle button.
- The PSP will reboot and you will have the opportunity to redo the console settings: language, time, date ... etc.

News via http://dknute.livejournal.com/38217.html
So... SONY manages to have their PSN data stolen. And not just any data - the most sensitive kind, their customers' personal data. SONY calls that a high-profile malicious attack but in reality their system had gaping security holes. Known vulnerabilities were not patched for months. Very proffesional, let me guess, it was all outsourced to cut the costs?
How bad is it? So bad that they don't even know WHAT was taken since the logs were compromised as well. Because SONY not only failed to run a proper server stack, they failed to setup a logging system that would run independently. Apparently if it wasn't for the attackers clumsy attempts to cover their tracks, nobody would even know the intrusion took place!
To add insult to injury I was away from country as it got reported and could not block my card or else I'd end up with no money to pay bills and return home...
Words fail to properly convey my feelings about this, I'll try though. Let's start with PSP - it got hacked, with a spoofed "service battery" of all things. Way to include a backdoor into your secure product, guys. Just brilliant. PS3 - got hacked with a stupid buffer overflow in USB layer, again with the help of a backdoor system known as "service JIG". Then it got owned completly because SONY decided to use curve-based crypto rather than the usual RSA-like system, and nobody understood the new algorithms well enough to actually use them properly. I was laughing so hard when this was published... And what does SONY do? Blame the hackers.
Next thing SONY fails at is running a secure database with all of their clients data. And not just PSN, apparently the SOE one was raided too. You couldn't do worse if you tried. Hell, SONY might have as well just copied and send out the data themselves - at least that way we wouldn't have to endure a lenghty downtime of their services. But wait, that's not all of it yet. Now they got their collective asses moving and decided to actually upgrade the Apache to the latest version - and maybe (though doubtful) to keep doing that from now on. And with the claim that it's secure now they made it into grand reopening. Some lesser CEO even apologized. Wow. It would be much more impressive if not for another exploit that was discovered, what, less then 24 hours after the restart? This seems to be the extent of their new security - they just can't code shit, even if their lives depended on it.
Also, as it turns out, Japanese government is not happy with the way SONY handled the situation and forbid PSN reopening until all the issues are properly resolved, and explanations are made as to what steps were undertaken to prevent this mess from happening again in future. Now, this might just be a political struggle but it does kinda make you wonder just how secure this "new" system really is. It sure bothers me.
We are talking about 100 million accounts, this is THE BIGGEST data leak in history. Ever. SONY fails time and time again, and there seem to be no consequences whatsoever. I'm really unhappy with EU and USA authorities not demanding formal apology and proper compensation. I suppose the unnamed hackers will again take all the blame, since apparently big companies can do no evil. Nobody died, right? Move along folks, nothing to see here.
Oh and don't get me started on the Welcome Back Programme - it's just as insulting as the half-hearted apology. Rather than get a wallet bonus or something to the effect, we are given old games that many already have. And this is no accident, SONY knows well what games we have and play (via PSN reports) so this way they just pretend to give us something without actually investing too much money. Think of it this way, you just exchanged all of your personal data, including possibly credit card info, for 2 lousy games and 30 days of PSN+. Was it worth it?
I'm pretty sure kids won't mind. When you're 16 or so, what do you care who knows what your name and date of birth is. But proper adults should realize the potential consequences of identity theft. I've seen it happen to someone who had ID card stolen and let me tell you - it ain't pretty. First of all it won't hit you right away, usually takes months, but then it will haunt you for many months to come. And there is nothing you can do about it, except work hard to clear your name. In the meantime it's quite possible you'll be visited by debt collectors asking for money you never had, and even receive threats from people who think you owe them. Banks might lock your accounts every now and then, your cards will stop working due to all the stuff happening, and so on. And the worst thing is you know none of this is your fault. Welcome to your personal hell.
I won't ask anybody to boycott SONY. You do what you think is right in that situation. I will probably keep using my PS3 since the milk is spilt and nothing will change that. I sure won't enter my card detais into the console again, though, and if there is anything interesting on PSN then I will look for alternative payment methods. That's assuming I will feel like buying from SONY anytime soon. I'm simply not going to trust that company with anything, ever again. Because, let me repeat that one more time, not only they can't protect my data, they don't even feel like compensating me for my loss. So, I don't feel like spending my money on their products.
EDIT: And this just in, though still not properly confirmed: It seems that firmware 3.61 causes some of the consoles to overheat and turn off while playing. Seriously SONY, I couldn't come up with this stuff if I tried.

Development has been progessing quite nicely on [Matlo's] PlayStation 3 controller spoofing project. This is a package that allows you to identify a PC as a PS3 controller. We know what you’re thinking: why would you want to do that? When we originally looked in on the project about a year ago we mentioned that this allows you to use any Linux-friendly peripheral as a PS3 controller. In the clip embedded below you’ll see that nothing beats a good keyboard and gaming mouse when it comes to first-person shooters. [Matlo's] solution not only allows you to use alternative control hardware, but there’s almost unlimited configurability.
And speaking of configuration, he’s done a ton of work on the GUI. After the initial package installation no terminal typing needs to be done to get the system configured. Once in place, you can set the MAC address of a Bluetooth dongle to spoof the address of your SixAxis controller. From there you can set up the button mapping, calibrate mouse hardware and the like, and even program macros (fantastic). Now go out and pwn everyone at deathmatch now that the PlayStation Network is back up and running.

After brutally taunting us by releasing the job-centric RPG in Japan and announcing it for Europe, an ESRB rating has revealed that Square Enix is bringing Final Fantasy V to the North American PSN. The game is something of an oddity for the series, having never made it to the U.S. in its native SNES format -- it only came stateside as part of the Final Fantasy Anthology, and as the expanded GBA title Final Fantasy V Advance.
Between this, Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger, we've got a lot of Square Enix PSOne Classics to look forward to -- now we just have to wait for the PlayStation Store to fling open its long-shuttered doors.

Sony has announced that its PlayStation Network is now back online in Japan after over a month of down time.
A full statement from the company was released last night, alongside a new video from PlayStation global boss Kaz Hirai. Both can be read/watched below:
Sony Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) announced that Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI, the company) will begin a phased restoration of PlayStationNetwork and Qriocity Services in Japan and Asian countries and regions including Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand*1 on May 28. A new identity protection program will also be offered in conjunction with the phased restoration for PlayStation Network and Qriocity customers in Japan.
Increased Security Measures
Working closely with respected outside security firms, the company has implemented new and additional security measures that strengthen safeguards against unauthorized activity, and provide consumers with greater protection of their personal information.
The company has made considerable enhancements to the data security, including updating and adding advanced security technologies, additional software monitoring and penetration and vulnerability testing, and increased levels of encryption and additional firewalls. The company also added a variety of other measures to the network infrastructure including an early-warning system for unusual activity patterns that could signal an attempt to compromise the network.
As an additional measure, a Chief Information Security Officer was created at SNEI who will work to reinforce overall information security across the company's network infrastructure.
"I'd also like to send my sincere regret to customers in Japan and Asian countries and regions for the inconvenience these events have caused you," said Kazuo Hirai, Executive Deputy President, Sony Corporation. "We are taking aggressive action including increasing security measures and working with respective authorities to address the concerns that were raised by this incident. We are making consumer data protection a full-time, company wide commitment so that our customers can rest assured about enjoying their entertainment."
The first phase of restored services for these countries and regions will include:
* Sign-in for PlayStationNetwork and Qriocity services, including the resetting of passwords
* Restoration of online game-play across PS3 and PSP
* 'Friends' category on PS3, including Friends List, Chat Functionality, Trophy Comparison, etc
* PlayStation Home
* Access to other network features on services such as torne*
(Customers will not be able to download movies rented through PlayStation Network video download service because movies have expired as a result of PlayStation Network service being turned off since April 21 (JST).) **
* torne is a service available only in Japan.
** Please contact customer support if this is the case.
*** PlayStation Store, Video on Demand Powered by Qriocity service for Japan and any service that involves transaction is not available at this time.
Identity Protection Measures
While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, the company is committed to helping its customers protect their personal data and is continuing to work with several security firms to determine the extent of customer data which may have illegally been taken following the criminal cyber-attack on PlayStation Network and Qriocity services in April. Also credit card companies have not reported any increase in the number of fraudulent credit card transactions as a result of the attack, nor have they reported any fraudulent transactions that they believe are a direct result of the illegal attack.
* In addition to the existing customer service call center, SCE has established a phone hotline to offer customer guidance on the restoration of services, or measures to protect themselves against identity theft and fraud (operating hours: 9AM to 7PM*3).
* With the support from credit card companies, SCE will bear the expenses to reissue new credit cards to those customers who request to replace their existing credit cards when it involves charges.
The company will be offering a "Welcome Back" package of services and premium content to all registered customers. The details of this program will be announced in each region shortly. For details on Japan, please refer to the separately attached sheet or visit: http://cdn.jp.playstation.com/msg/state.html
Details on Asian countries and regions will be announced shortly.
*1 Service restoration in Korea and Hong Kong will be announced as soon as ready.
*2 Measures are subject to change depending on the finding from the investigation.
*3 Opening hours once part of the PlayStation Network service resumes. SCE will extend its normal operating hours of 10AM to 6PM.

The remastered Splinter Cell Trilogy for PlayStation 3 looks to have been pushed back to August, according to several retailers. Amazon, GameStop and GameFly (which conveys release date information only when received from publishers) each list the title with an August 2 release date.
After missing its initial March ship date, Splinter Cell was due to arrive in stores and on PSN in late June. When we asked Ubisoft to confirm a ship date, we were told, "We currently do not have a ship date for it. It will be sometime this summer.

Following Sony's announcement of the PSN data leak, Congress sent an inquiry to the company seeking more information about the breach and Sony's response to it. And Sony responded to that with ... an open letter.
Now Sony Network Entertainment president Tim Schaff plans to make an actual, personal appearance before the House subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, to discuss follow-up questions sent to the company by Representative Mary Bono Mack. The questions speak to the nature of the stolen data, the method through which it was stolen, and how Sony plans to keep data safe in the future. Schaff will be joined by a representative from Epsilon, a marketing company who suffered its own recent data breach.
We're guessing the members of the subcommittee will all have their "Welcome Back" copies of InFamous hand-delivered.

Well, Sony Ericsson might just deserve a gold star for effort. A week ago we reported that a possible rollout of the long-rumored Facebook integration update would come to select Xperia series phones this week, and we're seeing the process begin today. The recipients of this particular push are the Arc and Play, though it will come to all new Xperia devices down the road. While the download includes Android 2.3.3, the major focus is on "Facebook Inside Xperia," another way for you to sync your social media with other aspects of your phone, such as contacts, calendar, and photo gallery. Other improvements in the package include WiFi stability, improved battery performance, HD video recording performance (Arc only), and bug fixes. Don't stress if your phone hasn't seen the update yet; Sony Ericsson says it's rolling it out gradually due to issues with individual markets and carrier branding. No specific timeframe was given, though the company mentioned that "it can take a while." Should you be one of the lucky recipients to get it today, however, sound off in the comments below.

It took a while, but that O2-exclusive (for the UK) white Xperia Play is finally with us. Earlier this month, the UK carrier had promised to deliver the Play in June, but evidently things have gone better than expected, as we now see "in stock" signage next to both the black and white models of Sony Ericsson's gaming phone. Pricing is identical for both color variants, starting at "free" when attached to expensive (£34 per month) two-year contracts and peaking at £430 ($702) on pre-pay deals. O2 also throws in a matching multimedia dock plus three bonus games to sweeten the deal. We're guessing that Android 2.3.3 update that Sony Ericsson just rolled out for the Xperia Play might finally have allayed O2's software concerns, which has allowed it to now start selling the device in earnest.

Potty-mouthed Wii shooter House of the Dead: Overkill reanimates on PlayStation 3 later this year.
Sega has announced an Extended Cut edition will premiere on 28th October in the UK, just in time for Halloween.
The original featured co-operative zombie-blasting gameplay with Grindhouse-style B-movie visuals, set across seven levels.
The Extended Edition adds two more stages, with 3D support, Move control and Trophies completing the upgraded package.
House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut.
Overkill's punchy, self-parodying script once held the record for the most naughty words spoken in a video game - until Mafia II absconded with the honour last year.
"It's made with such infectious and irreverent glee and such obvious pride, you can't help but join in," said Oli in Eurogamer's 8/10 House of the Dead: Overkill review.
