A new psp model in the work ?

[Mathieulh]

While working on the future 3.80M33, we found a VERY interesting string in the IPL's playload: "/kd/pspbtcnf_03g.bin"

For those who do not understand here is a bit of history:

since 2.71 and especially in 2.80, we could see a string refering to pspbtcnf_02g which suggested the support of a new hardware or at least of a new operative mode. Later with the slim release we found out that the slim's codename was this infamous 02g (proably standing for second generation) and that it used the _02g modules as well as pspbtcnf_02g
.bin. It means that they worked on slim firmware/kernel for months before the actual hardware was announced/released.

We believe it is the same with the 3rd generation hardware which they are now preparing for sure. Will it be yet another lighter (and pandora proof) psp or will it be the new psp phone ? Time will tell

Normally I'd say it were just Sony throwing us another disappointing bone... but as you say, it happened last time... Very interesting indeed, cheers

Yeah, I remember the weird sceHibari stuff in 2.71. It was all preliminary code for the Slim.

Though, I'll feel a bit annoyed if the Slim is obsolete after 6 months.

HDD and BlueTooth should cure that annoyance Hopefully those NIDs weren't just Sony being stupid...

I should mention, I also thought the HDD + Bluetooth were for another model and not for the slim. But didnt have much proof, this appears to confirm it.

And here is why, those GSensor functions were later removed on slim fw (ie 3.7x). Those functions simply return the NOT_SUPPORTED error on 3.7x. They still only exist on the 3.5x fw.

So what does that leave, not supported on fat AND not supported on slim, so........?

awsome news! cant wait for 3.8 M33 im dying to play FF7 and FF8 in remote play!

i hope dax throws us a suprise with this new M33 version!

[vishu]

that's good news, if it's a PSP phone that'd be awesome, let's hope the '03g' refers to the new pspphone model.

[PearLRoX]

hm Terrible, I hope that we will get special things in the future.

cant wait for 3.80 M33 and (maby) the new stuff!!

Good job boys!!

let's hope the '03g' refers to the new pspphone model.

But keep on mind that Sony has always denied working on such a project.

Yeah, not like they denied a different model being made before, is it?
