Changes in updater:

- The degeneration check and correction of IDS keys happens too in 3.71 now.
- Added code to download 3.90 PBP from net via wifi.
Note that his code is not yet 100% stable, it may crash when selecting AP. In that case,
reinit the installer.

If you already have 390.PBP keep those buttons pressed until you see "Veryfing 390.PBP".
If the 390.PBP is being downloaded bia wifi, press those buttons at the end of download until

Err, no, it's MichaelP.  Ain't seen ya on in a bit, kiddo, how ya been?


ANd chalk the following question to mah having know knowledge of the slim whatsoever, but the 1.5 kernal add-on does not work for it, right?  The slim still cannot support it?  This is the first time I've thought about it.

I'm good glag.
Still kind of scared of e-girls.
And roberth is right, 1.50add-on does not work for Slim ATM.

Running 1.50 on the slim is a POC for testing 1.50 kernel brew mainly. 1.50 is not useless by any means, its the only firmware that has kernel mode (yeah 1.00/b). This is the main point of DC3/4 needing a 1.50 subset. All 3.XX brew is user mode, for 3.XX kernel mode you need to load all the kernel calls via a external PRX.

Now that Sony keeps changing the NIDs, and more so completely randomizing then, makes it very hard to find them, if not imposable. If the slim could run a kind of 1.5 kernel the NIDs for brew would never need updating thus making the brew never needing an update for newer firmware versions and keeping legacy.
