We are hearing news that PSIX lead programmer and MaxConsole forum member Naoneo aka Fluff has managed to directly modify the v2.00 psar files recently and is now able to modify ALL the contained firmware information including version check and the security lock, no one has known how to bypass the psar encryption check which MaxConsole user Mr A described some days ago, it looks like this wasn't as big of a deal as the beta testers led us to believe.

*Update* - Here is official word from Naoneo about this...sorry if anything we said above was inaccurate!

Just a little video i made to prove that any future videos involving the psps original shell, and hacks, are no longer a reliable source of proof, as you can see in the video my psps version number is Version 6.66 internal Development unit. this was done by changing code in flash0:/vsh/resource/topmenu_plugin.rco for an edited version taken from the v2.00 data.psar, the version number was done by editing the version code from sysconf_plugin.rco, and extending the text to overlap the end by deleting the internal error has occured text, basically from the image below, you can write anything you want in this area, the wrap begins around the l of internal depending on the length of the word used, have fun but try not to brick your psp k?
