yap, fixed.

More good news about the highly-anticipated Sony PlayStation Portable 3.80 M33 custom firmware, and this bit comes directly from none other than Mathieulh himself. It seems that as of this writing, the unreleased custom firmware is already in proper working order and boots perfectly. It runs all existing homebrew program in User Mode as well. This in itself should already be great news, as wee're pretty much guaranteed a safe, non-bricking and still awesome CFW to play with. Why, then, isn't it released yet?

Mathieulh reports that there are still something that Dark AleX needs to iron out before declaring 3.80 M33 a finished product - namely, the NIDs Resolver that allows the launch of homebrew programs in Kernel mode. It will also help in making sure that all the plug-ins present will be usable without any extensive modifications. It's safe to say that while this doesn't sound like much, it's still a very important (and very time-exhaustive) thing to work on, so wee'll just have to be patient until DAX ties up all the loose ends.

Yeah you know what it means right ? Transfering everything to 3.80 M33 , and this time me verry lazy.

NID resolver?  That's interesting.

Possibly means that Sony's lame attempts to make homebrewers' life a pain will have much less of an effect, though it will force Dark_AleX to work much harder on each firmware.

^^what is an NID resolver?

I don't know.

I don't particularly know what a NID is either, but from what I've heard, here's my guess.
Kernel mode homebrew reference kernel functions - probably, once compiled, it's a reference to an NID.  Now, Sony tries to stop this working by changing the NIDs that kernel mode homebrews' references are no longer valid, effectively breaking the homebrew.

From the description, I'm guessing this "NID resolver" is like a translator - basically, it (probably) converts Sony's new NIDs to the older NIDs, so that existing kernel mode homebrew won't break.

And for future firmwares, it means that Sony won't be able to use this method to cause breaks in kernel mode homebrew - however, it would require Dark_AleX to update his NID resolver for each firmware.


Of course, all the above is just my guess.
