Changelog / Download

Team Wildcard have unveiled the initial release of their brand-new custom firmware series. The 3.40 Wildcard firmware supports all features from 3.40 OE-A, as well as an SCEP-style recovery menu, in-XMB configuration menu, and auto detection of kernel homebrew (this means you’ll only have to deal with a central GAME folder - no more GAME150 or GAME340 folders).

At last, after several days in which I have been one with my computer, I'm releasing the second alpha of Okiwi (version 0.2).

 

Okiwi at www.devkitpro.org

 

It allows to read files from the card (by entering addresses like file:///path, like, for example, file:///test.html) or Internet (http://...). Some pages are displayed fairly well (specially blogs, like this, which is preconfigured as the home page), while others don't work at all, so I'll have to investigate little by little what Okiwi fails to know.

 

By now it's able to interpret numerous CSS 2.1 properties, like margins, paddings, floating, colors, etc., altough there are several missing. Some other things not done yet are: tables, forms, cookies and images. There are also some other bugs and lacks I'm aware of.

 

To scroll a page, dragging with the stylus is still the only way. 75% and 150% zoom levels, which were missing in the first version, have been added. To follow a link, it's enough to "click" on it, altough it doesn't work always, and I must debug it.

 

The good news is that, from now on, new versions will be released with a much higher frequency. I'll release one each time I implement one of the lacking features or fix important bugs.

 

The installation procedure of this release is the same as the last, so I encourage the reading of the instructions I published that time. If someone has still the old version in his card, it's recommended to erase it completely before installing this one.

 

Well, I hope you like it and keep on there.

 

Remember to patch with DLDI. By default it's patched for SuperCard Lite.

We had to release our work because of a leak done by a lame website which we wont name in order not to bring visitors there.

This work was a full 3.10 and 3.40OE reverse done by us as well as new features for a future custom firmware which was meant to be closed source.

this lame site hacked one of our account using a flaw in the maxconsole database which is far from beeing safe.

and made it look like some of our group did the job.

 

Beside their leak contained copyrighted files used for reverse purposes ( which we removed in our released )

 

We are now considering several options such as stopping our project thanks to their lame action, or even sue them for DMCA infringement.

They are a disgrace for the psp scene and if we do release anything we will make sure that they cannot host any of our future releases.

 

I hope that other developers ( especially M33 ) will stand with us against such a threat, now and in the future.

 

Thanks for your support,

 

The Wildcard team.

Team Wildcard's source code, which mathieulh informs us "The code is legit. It is a complete reverse of the OE and other stuffs." could possibly be used by PSP developers to further the Open Edition PSP custom firmware development unofficially or to create a new custom firmware using contributed code. Well folks, It looks like new custom editions (and additions) to the OE firmware might be back on the menu.
