With Sony's recently released 4.0 firmware being decrypted so quickly, it's only a matter of time before the next custom firmware is released.
Homebrew developer Mathieulh recently revealed some of the new features that will be added into the upcoming Custom Firmware 4.00 that Dark AleX and team M33 are already working on.
One of the new features include an in-
XMB recovery mode, which will allow users to change their settings straight from the
PSP's main menu screen. This is definitely beats rebooting your
PSP and entering recovery mode the normal way.
The other feature is the inclusion of savestate support for UMD games. Users will now be able to save their progress at any given time during gameplay and be able to load their game at that point after restarting. It has not yet been confirmed if the savestate feature will be integrated directly into the firmware or will be released as a separate plugin.
That's all the info we have for now on Custom Firmware 4.00, but we'll be sure to post more updates as we get them.
