Custom Firmware 6.00 MAC-B. Fake or not?

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Take this one with a large pinch of salt, its been flying around the PSP scene like wildfire today. I’ve been wondering if I should even post this or not, but I’ll let you decide after watching the above video. It’s the latest apparent video, “Mack” basiclly trying to prove its not fake. And boy doesn’t Mack try hard to convince us all its not fake.

I personally think, unless this guy is working with or along side PSPGen decrying its a fake. But I could be wrong. Its a nicely done fake video to get a bit of the old Youtube attention by some film student.. But looking at the video, it certainly raises a few questions.

What do you think? Fake or Legit. That’s the million dollar question.

    YAHOOO THIS IS COOL!

  • ColorblindMonk

    Looks real and such. Although it would be nice if they showed Soul Calibur or another game to prove that it’s real, what with that TMX stunt a couple weeks ago.

    • dtmoore555

      wouldn’t have worked even if they showed Soul Calibur….. it’s been hacked already to work w/ any 5.00 firmware… I’m running it right now on 5.00M33 w/ no problems at all in iso format…

      I feel it’s fake for several reasons, but guess we’ll see…

  • ronelpriela

    They need to proof that they can play OSI game in that 6.00 MAC B

    • rayner000

      OSI? XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Rofl

  • Angelo

    Million dollar question? :P lol

    Anyway I wonder how they can have 2 revisions 1 day after 6.00 has been released. FAAAAAKE!

    • GameGuysProjects

      Well 6.00 was decrypted yesterday. I looked on psp Gen yesterday amd they said they decrypted it. I dunno it probably is fake.

  • ronelpriela

    i like to play Iso!! is he is a part of GEN TEAM??

    • http://pspslimhacks.com/ PSPFan

      I doubt it. Seeing as the GEN team are French and this guy is American…

  • cb3p0

    the new 6.00 software says system update not network update its a fake

    • alphakid11

      no its not a fake caus the 6.00OFW changes it to system update

  • shanicred

    cb3p0 in the update 6.00 it changes network update into system update

  • cb3p0

    yes it does

  • erique555

    omfg, he has a cxmb theme activated, thats why it says system instead of network, and if you dont believe me, why does all the psp sections have a different name? video= emulator? exactly, so this is real :)

    • rayner000

      Yeah ISO/Homebrew. But where did he get an CXMB for 6.00?

      • erique555

        well, maybe they used the ctf maker? or its an ctf like the xbox 360 dashboard that works on mostly every cfw out there in the world?

    • Chelleh

      Some of the changes you mentioned come from the 6.00 OFW. Like the whole “System Update” instead of “Network Update” has nothing to do with the cxmb. It’s in the 6.00 OFW updates log…

      • erique555

        tsk, tsk, just lik all the major ctf themes in the world, THEY CHANGE THE ENTIRE PSP FORMAT MENUS, they change the TEXTS, the icons, the backgrounds, the gameboots, and the internet look, who cares ifs in the 6.00 OFW updates log, it can be changed as long as the ctf theme wants to change it!

  • blazer13

    hmmmm… I wonder why they didi this video in the dark. i mean its good but it could just be a SPOOFER. but i guess we’ll just have to wait and see if its true. lets just hope the release it.

    • erique555

      well, let me answer a very stupid question, you see young nooblet, if you made a video of a psp screen in the light, it would be hard to read the screen, which then would equal the opposite of your question:
      omfg why they make the video in the light, the screen to bright to see!!! FAKE!!!!!!!!!!
      so, they did it in the dark so everything can be clear to people like you who has to care on every single specific detail wrong,
      omfg fake cuz it say system not network update! , well have you ever thought of it as a ctf theme
      play motorstorm! wtf? motorstorm sucks on psp!!!! and besides its a beta, Dark Alex beta didnt play isos yet, and look how he turned out!
      and besides, its a good thing to believe this because: Dark Alex didnt even try to make 5.55 or 6.00 m33, so its a good thing someones trying! omfg he spelled it wrong fake!!!, ………………………………………………….. wtf, who cares about spelling! it doesnt effect the process. i made my point

  • aeon44

    they are having a hard time to fix the drivers. maybe they have the same reason why Team GEN said that there is still no public release.

  • Torian

    Here is my two sense.

    Points it could be real?:
    It says System Update, NOT network update.
    It says MAC gen. And had options m33/Gen did NOT have.

    Points it could NOT be real?:
    He did not play 6.00 games. [He did say the drivers are messed up, You never know.]
    He used CXMB, How did he make a 6.00 compatible theme?
    It is at revision B [It is possible that revision A was a complete clusterfuck, And the made some changes].

    It’s both ways. so, It could work, It could not.

    We will find out as it develops.

    They can create a CFW but can’t use a freaking camera.

    • http://pspslimhacks.com/ PSPFan

      Heh that is true!

  • ronelpriela

    they can change their psp from 3000 to Ta88v2 or 1 they can use CAMERA TRICKS!

  • ajitsinghmann

    For all the noobs, Under [Settings] > [Network Update] has been changed to [System Update] in firmware 6.00.
    Wont believe him until he shows DiRT 2 or MotorStorm running. Soul Calibur has been patched and fixed and a modded iso is avialable on the net which even runs on the 5.00 M33-6

    • erique555

      omfg, read before you post, he used a ctf theme!!! then they took it off, and your precious ” Network Update” came back, god! why the hell do you care about what it says? its not like theres any other cfw out in the world higher than 6.00mac-b, so you shouldnt even want to update yet

  • Skyline969

    I’ve got my doubts on this one. I’m not expecting a 6.00 CFW for weeks, maybe even months, from now.

  • Nagi21

    Hmm… I’ll buy it… I’ll buy that someone is working on it and might have a very rough and buggy version already made… I won’t buy that it’s ready for public use anytime soon… 6 and a half of a dozen….

  • QuArAnTiNe

    i believe u team hack!!!! send me that CFW

  • QuArAnTiNe

    and if any new releases like soul calibur work on that CFW that wouldd be tight!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Bryan2193

      Umm, soul calibur works 5.00 m33 using the ripkit.
      where have you been?

  • Bryan2193

    The big question I have is: How did they get cxmb working in 6.00, and get a theme that would work in 6.00?
    that is my big doubt toward its credibility.

  • ronelpriela

    they are only 12 year old kid..lol

    • wdfowty

      they’re in high school…

  • ronelpriela

    TEAM MACK said TODAY IN YOU TUBE THEY WILL RELEASED THE another video that they can access in PSN they will released the video in Wednesday night or Thursday Friday…

  • ronelpriela

    is this is compatible for psp 3000?? if not this is only for psp 2000?? but why need to do this theres already a PANDORA BATTERY

  • ronelpriela

    WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THEY SAID THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE FOR psp 3000 also TA88v3

    Ta88v3 psp 2000 mobo is the same with psp 3000 MOBO

  • Dragonman3000

    Why they won’t show the new battery charging icon. I see it on OFW psp.

  • Jhazky

    Why are you people trying too hard to prove that it is fake or not? Just wait and see.. If it’s out then it’s out and if not then move on..

  • Raziel36

    He clicks on “Debug Settings” to start the update, then it says “Network Update”, instead of System Update(Which 6.00 is supposed to say).. all this points to this being a fake. And since 6.00 is probably not available for System Update OTA yet, of course it’s going to say he’s got the latest version installed, even if it’s Gen 5.50(as I don’t think 5.55 is even available OTA, yet). This is fake.

  • wdfowty

    what we should be worrying about is the hackability of the Go! i could care less about new cfw’s for the phat/slim. i’m perfectly content with 5.00m33-6…it does everything i need it to do and then some. like what was said in another post about DAX’s involvement in 6.00, there aren’t enough feature changes to even NEED a 6.00 cfw…unless you want to play a watered down version of GT…
