I don't mean it in a condescending way, I remember that DECR used to be the best console in terms on functions+rarity, only certain studios could get them since they were very expensive and most of them that made their way to eBay were in really lousy condition, I mean I just got one this last month for exactly $100 granted it didn't come with anything else but the unit and whatever is inside of it. Recently there have been a lot of threads specifically made because of something to do with this exact system, Some people even have more than One. Are they still valuable as before? Since there are more in the wild, shouldn't they also be in the hands of devs who can use them to find exploits? Also, why is anything that makes use of it is held only in Private? There is only ONE public CFW for it and it doesn't even let you run backups.
PS3 is finally being irrelevant enough to just start showing up They are lower in value due to more supply and less demand than before Exploits have come a long way, they are no longer needed - a DECH3000A is because metldr v2 keys to allow cfw on 3000/4000 models but this is only if someone gives enough effort to care to do it Private still matters. Some companies working with homebrew devs still may not want their stuff leaked as maybe theyre working on newer platforms on top of it. It's a security thing. Also it's a niche device still. Even as a new owner myself I am like "wow, this really only has like a few uses over my testkit"
I was also wondering that, does DECH3000 & DECH4000 let you install DEX CFW? Even if they have metldr2? If so then I have to get one. Companies that work with homebrew devs? Could you tell me of one? Also as a side note, can we truly convert DECR's into System Debuggers? devwiki says so.
i too have noticed more threads about the DECR-1000 recently , pretty handy as I have one too & I'm bound to run into some issues at somepoint
DECH3000A and DECH4000AA (yes 2 As, no idea why) are unable to have DEX CFW due to not being able tow ork with old metldr keys. If you want those (and their retail counterpart) to have cfw, you'd have to locate the DECH3000A and dump it accordingly tinker with it, and find a new way to mess with it since it has 3.60 min firmware version (which means no 3.55 downgrade or you brick it) As for companies I couldnt name any solely because i dont know - which is the whole point. Companies licensed for dev work sharing with homebrew devs is a breach in contract and a big deal, so normally it's very secretive. And as for the last question I dont know because I'm not sure what you're on about.
I'm sure someone has achieved a CFW on them, since homebrew can be ran, which is a way into the system. I thought that only happened on the days of the Nintendo 64, with the Turok devs using Doctor v64's and all. QA Flagged DECR-1000 With an additional Sister board to the CP and a 00 paired CPU = System Debugger (debugs System Software)
Though common they tend to get destroyed in the post These weigh more than the PS2 tools i think & one small drop can cause problems.
No they do not have CFW. I can assure you on this. In the sense of "homebrew" the point was things like sdk are shared to unauthorized persons, which has watermarks to find out who it was from initially. Unauthorized devices could be developed without the use of the sdk, but having it helps. Take for example the Cobra Blackfin or the Cobra ODE. Both are unauthorized devices that interact with said systems (vita and ps3 respectively) but they (to my knowledge) do not use SDK tools to develop them. The sdk can allow homebrew applications but hardware is a different story As for the DEH-Z1010 I cant really say much. If there's pics of the daughterboard and dumps maybe it can be made but I wouldnt put money on it happening. U wot
DECH-3000A are somewhat important because we need them to have immediate usermode access, something that on a CEX equivalent is only possible through ODDE. You can dump the .2 keys with it, but they're useless and won't grant any cfw. However, they'll let you see what's inside the encrypted metadata binaries, although it's theorized that it's just the same metadata section with different R for the same key revision.
