hrm… Well, As Far As I Know, There’s No Official Confirmation From Anyone Just Yet… But According To *cough* Datel, They’ve Created What Would Seem To Be A Pandora-like Battery For Both The Psp-2000 And The Thought To Be Unhacked 3000 — Alas, Datel’s Lite Blue Tool Service Mode Battery.
It’s Said The Battery Will Offer The Ability To Toggle Between Normal And Service Mode; As Well, The Lite Blue Tool Features A Led Power Gauge Indicator For Your Convenience. Of Course In Service Mode You’re Given Access To The Psp’s Flash Leaving The Device Fully Hackable — Downgrade, Install A Custom Firmware, Do Whatever Desired… Or So You’d Think.
The Lite Blue Tool Will Be Available November 28th Retailing For $29.99 Across North America And $19.99 In The Uk.
Now The Question Is: Speculation Or Realer Than Real Deal Holyfield? I’d Say It’s Likely But We’ll Know For Sure In The Coming Days…
Quoting Datel — *cough* –
Although There Were Early Indications That The Psp3000 Had Embedded Service Mode Capability, It Was Clear That Silicon Level Investigation Would Be Required To Understand The New Mechanism.
Once The Target Ic Had Been Identified, Our Engineers Then De-capsulated The Device And Prepared It For Hi-resolution Sem Imaging.
The Engineers Then Used Circuit Extraction To Reveal The Additional Service Mode Only Encryption Functions Which Were Not Present On Earlier Generation Psps. In Order To Be Compatible With These Encryption Functions, Datel Created An Advanced Ic Controller Which Will Be Put Straight Into Use In Their Newest Service Mode Battery Technology.
