Scene developer Yoti has revealed a video of a work-in-progress unbricker for the PSP, utilizing the Raspberry Pi microcontroller RP2040.
You can now unbrick just about any PSP mannequin
Unbricking older fashions of PSP (PSP 1000) has been a risk for a very long time with the Pandora Battery, however additional fashions grew to become more durable to hack, and likewise to unbrick. Recently, important progress has been made on hacking/unbricking PSP 2000 and PSP 3000 fashions although, with the Baryon Sweeper technique.
The {hardware} for this method is a little more demanding, as one must emulate the encrypted handshake of the superior unbricking batteries used for that course of. In different phrases, a “easy” pandora battery isn’t sufficient anymore, you want one thing a bit extra superior, with some intermediate logic working on a microcontroller.
That’s the place Baryon Sweeper is available in. Now, with low-cost {hardware} implementations such because the one Yoti is engaged on right here, unbrickers for all fashions of PSP are a risk, as described within the authentic explanations (supply khubik).
Yoti has been a key dev on the Baryon Sweeper technique.
While all of the documentation is now accessible to make your personal unbricker, it’s good to see folks showcasing implementations right here.
